    When on a search for an exotic place that wasn't pizza or burgers or Swedish food, this place kept…read morecoming up and glad it did! We called here later on a Friday around 7pm asking for a table, they said to come right in, and when we did they have a perfect patio table (with English menus!!) already waiting. We ordered the tasting menu with a bottle of red wine, and it was a perfectly cozy and delicious date night. The tasting menu starts with this spicy dip, followed by fresh nigiri cuts of sushi, and eventually some really tasty bao buns sandwiches, shrimp lettuce wraps, and what I think was a sauces grilled chicken. The kinds of food was a wide diversity but all done really well and with lots of rich flavors. The service was super friendly and fast. The ambiance is really cozy with an outdoor (covered and heated) patio and inside options, and the outdoor patio had candles and blankets.

    Expanding to a new neighborhood is challenging in any modern city. For a restaurant to do it well,…read moreattention and a visit is strongly suggested. The menu has clear signs of great care and finesse once you manage to get past the front of the house with its many opportunities. The service is not the highlight of Hello Monkey, nor was it high on my priority list. This is not a staff issue, they are attentive and know the menu. What missing is structure in the seating arrangement and the lighting can use some professional assistance. Having a conversation was next to impossible as the "Club" vibe sets in not too long as you are enjoying a dessert course of a three course meal. I found it fairly priced for a couple with drinks and experimental freedom in crossing multiple dishes from the menu. I am looking forward to a return visit to Hello Monkey, I will however suggest the first location on Magasinsgatan over Linnegatan. The overwhelming reason is environment and interior. I can imagine a great lunch at the second location, specially on a sunny day.

    I was excited to be back for more of that fresh and delicious sushi. Was greeted when entered the…read morerestaurant and waitress got us seated even though we were 30 minutes early for our booking. Started with edamame (55kr) and tried one of their "mocktails" with ginger, green tea and fizz (forgot the name) but it was very refreshing. I ordered the deep fried ball of crayfish and rice and panku bread crumbs. They promised it would be fried to perfection, and I must say they did really well! Delicious! I also had their take, 12 piece nigiris of the chefs choice (2 of each kind). It was delicious and I especially loved the crayfish nigiri. Spot on! I ordered green tea but it was very busy and the waitress forgot to serve it, but she didn't forget to put it on the bill, therefore minus one star. But the service was a lot better this time then my previous visit and I was very happy. Will be back next time I am visiting Sweden.

    I rally liked Minami Sushi and had very high expectations for Restaurant Nami (same owner AFAIK),…read moreand boy was I not disappointed. Nami perfectly blends Japanese cuisine in a friendly and accessible manner, with a touch of Swedish-Japanese fusion. With a bunch of friendly personal that are not shy to banter and jest, it is really easy to forget that one is in little old Varberg and not in some fashionable Tokyo district. Cudos to you guys!

    I have been coming to this restaurant for years and this is my favorite in Gothenburg…read more I often choose the Dim sum combo which is composed of 5 dishes, each full of flavour. The chef has managed to find a fantastic harmony out of flavour I am not used to. My favorite is the spring roll from shiitake mushroom and many other herbs wrapped into a lettuce leaf, the mix of flavour is just breathtaking. As far as the rest goes the place is clean the atmosphere very good (somehow the decor matches very the menu but it's hard to explain). Overall I would recommend this place to anyone.

    The restaurant has just a tiny upstairs area with high tables. They also have seating downstairs…read more The tables are tiny and we had a hard time fitting all the dishes on one table including bottles and glasses. The food is so called Asian fusion - mix of Japanese, Korean and Chinese - but not the Chinese you know. Dumplings and Dim Sum - not fried shrimps, chicken or banana. It is very tasty, beautifully served and I would suggest ordering one of the sample menus for best experience. I find it a bit on the pricey side (250SEK for 9 pieces when having the sample dish) but if you are looking for a different Asian experience I would recommend you to go here. Friendly staff, but a bit inattentive. Save some in your glasses before asking for the bill. Remember to sharpen your chopstick skills! They accept AMEX.
