    Fresh banana blossom salad
    Joakim S.

    Early lunch with wife and 7 months baby. We could place the stroller next to our table and were offered a high seat for our daughter. Perfectly heated baby food. Baby changing station in the rest room. Definitely baby friendly. My wife, a vegetarian, had the banana blossom salad for starter and I had the salmon sashimi, Vietnamese style. The salad was very nice with a fresh taste. Sashimi was delicious, reminded me of a vinegar and Szechuan pepper cucumber dish we sometimes eat at home. Round and not too aciduous. Liked the small flowers and spices on top of it. I had the coconut cream poached green curry as main and my wife had the vegetarian option of the same, the cod replaced with tofu. My wife thought it was made with perfect heat, I think it could have been a bit more spicy. It was good, but a little boring compared to the other dishes and to other mains I've had here before. The sweet Alsace Pinot Gris was great with both starters and mains. The desert was very pleasant with its mix of sweet, sour and salt, soft and crunchy: 'Bo Phut', lime leaf ice cream, palm sugar cake, lime, salted caramel. After desert we had a nice green tea to round off the lunch. A great lunch, but for the pretty steep price (total of 830 SEK for two persons three course lunch, glass of wine and tea) I would have expected that little extra, in both service and the main course. I'll definitely come back again!

    If you are into cross-over Asian food, this is a great place to go. Nice atmosphere, though possibly a little on the noisy side - try getting a table on the side. Service was excellent, friendly and timely. We tried the Taengnaan tasting menu, which we thoroughly enjoyed. You will not leave hungry...

    It is not that often that Finish chefs take their restaurant concept abroad with success, so visiting the newly opened Farang in Stockholm was almost a matter of national pride. There is off course nothing Finnish about Farang, which is a compliment as the concept is South-East Asian food fine dining style. On the food: There were two options for the food, either select one of the tasting menus (from 7 to 9 dishes) or select individual dishes to share between your party from the a la carte. We felt hungry and greedy to try several things but ended up selecting the a la carte as there were three of us. We shared a starter, three mains and two desserts and that was way too much food for us. We are not huge eaters anyway so we should have known better, but what can you do when you are food-curious. As a starter we had minced beef and pork wrapped in a Cha Plu leaf with a sweet chili sauce dip. A great start to the dinner with meat rolled to kebab style sticks full of authentic Asian tastes, fresh coriander and chili; and the food came fast to calm down our growling tummies. We were not even done with the first dish when our mains started arriving to the table: braised veal cheeks with a chili broth and mint sprout salad, crispy pork with palm sugar caramel and boneless beef short ribs with with rice vinegar and a fresh Thai salad. The mains made the starter pale in comparison and it was hard to stop eating. Some of us were doing breathing exercises to get the food down. The veal cheeks and ribs were excellent meat and cooked nice and tender. We were not that impressed with the pork, but might just be because the other dishes were so good. The pork was actually the only dish we had tried before at Farang in Helsinki and our expectations for the dish were high. It was good this time around as well, but not great. For dessert we shared caramelized banana and palm sugar caramel. Both dishes were good, but not great. I am a sucker for the deep fried banana and ice cream that is a regular at many Thai restaurants and these fine dishes could just not compete with the wonderfully unhealthy king of Asian desserts. On the drinks: Farang takes a lot of pride in its fresh drinks menu. Coming from London's great cocktail scene I was not that impressed by the drinks but perhaps the comparison is not fair. The drinks were quite strong hiding the taste of the fresh ingredients (what am I complaining about, I'm from Finland) and the presentation was not that impressive. I have a recollection of the drinks being better in the Helsinki Farang. There was also a nice selection of Asian beers that brought back the memories of backpacking holidays and days at the beach. I prefer my Thai food with a light beer, so I went with a small bottle of Singha instead of wine. The Helsinki Farang and sister restaurants Gaijin and Boulevard Social are known though for their ability to pair wines with foods from Asia and the Middle East, so my anticipation is that the wine pairings have a potential of being very good. For dessert we ordered tea which came in an impressive glass Chemex jar. The tea selection was great (from Johan & Nyström) however disappointingly not mentioned anywhere. Sometimes one wonders why restaurants don't put more effort in tea and coffee as that is the last thing you have before you leave the place. On the service: The service was very friendly. Farang had just received several good reviews that day in Swedish magazines so you could see the excitement in the staff. We got the feel that the staff were very proud of the place which is always a good sign. The food however came way too fast regardless of us pointing out to our waiter that we would like some pause between the dishes (we had read the reviews before going and the pace of the food arriving to the table was were most of the critique had come from). We also had trouble waiving the bill in the end even though the restaurant was staff packed. We could see waiters lingering around next to the open kitchen chatting, so we could not really understand the sudden disinterest. Regardless of this we left the restaurant happy, it was Friday and we were not in a hurry.

    Gös- och Laxsashimi
    Merve O.

    We five girls were here yesterday evening. Very interesting combination of ingredients with the food but still with good taste. We selected from a la cart menu and started with 5 pieces "Cha Plu Blad med Varmrökt Lax" which was a right delicious choice to begin with. Second, we picked "Gös- och Laxsashimi" which wasnt the best of the dishes imo. A lot of chili taste to me. "Sallad på färsk Bananblomma, Grillad Bläckfisk" was the third taste and i must say the sallad was so good that everyone wanted to get the last bits of it and the fish which was very nicely grilled. Then we wanted to continue with "Softshell crab" but even though we have already chosen "Anka i Djungelcurry" and "Gul Curry, Pumpa & Thaibasilika", we were suggested to change it to a veal dish which i dont remember the name. I didnt think it was the right combination and i am sure the crabs would have tasted better(i mean look at the pictures!) so dont listen to waitress for suggestions all the time ;) We finished our dinner with "Phanangan Bounty"(super tasty!!!) and "Siam Choco"(very interesting taste with pepper icecream which was nice to try) with some generous amounth of rooibos and yasmin tea. Just one thing was that all the warm dishes came at once and till we go through the first and second one, the third one was already sort of cold. So overall everyone was very pleased with the food and their wine suggestions. We will definitely come back here to enjoy more dishes.

    Farang is the first opening in Stockholm for the the mini-restaurant empire in Helsinki consisting of Farang, Gaijin and Bouelvard Social. I have been a huge fan of their restaurants in Helsinki so it was some excitment I was heading to Farang in Stockholm. The concept is the same as the original in Helsinki so focus on southeast Asian food and the idea is sharing the dishes among everyone at the table. Entering the bar looks very nice and we were very quickly shown to our seats so even though it was fairly full they could handle it. The atmosphere is nice, the nice scent of Asian food immediatley came toward you once entering. It was however a pleasant smell and I right away recalled being in Asia. The design is sleek, the room may be a bit dark but it creates a nice cozy atmosphere. Really liked the open kitchen - like to be able to see the food being prepared and it keeps the chefs on their toes. Started of with some cocktails, very tasty and innovative cocktails so in that sense reminds me of the original Farang. Be aware though they do not skimp on the alcohol so could really feel that it was full of alcohol. The food was however the main reason we went here and having heard mixed things about the set menus we went for the a la carte instead. Since we were three we decided to get a variety of dishes to share. As a 'light' starter we went for the Cha Plu leaf wrapped pork and minced beef. It came with a sweet chili dip sauce and proved to be a delightful and fresh starter that really got us ready for the mains. We did not have to wait long for the mains, actually we were not done with the starter before the first main arrived. We had actually specifically asked that they slow down the pace of the food - asking them not to bring everything at once since we wanted to eat things while they were hot. Totally failure as everything arrived at once and no real excuse given when we said that we specifically asked to have some time between the dishes (and really got the feeling that if we would have insisted they would just have brought the dishes out to the kitchen and kept them warm there). The food was however great - we ordered the veal cheaks 'SEREMBAN' , the beef short ribs and the crispy pork and palm sugar 'caramel' My favorite was without a doubt the beef short ribs that were served with a black rice vinegar and a fresh thai salad. They were incredibly tender and flavorful and alone good enough to warrant a visit. The Veal cheaks had been slow cooked in an aromatic chili-stock served with a mint and bean sprouts. It was also very tender and tasted great but a more heavy in taste compared to the fresh and light flavors of the ribs. The pork was the same as I had in Farang in Helsinki and there it was my favorite but here it was the least favorite, still a very good dish and I would have been happy with it in any other restaurant but here it just paled in comparison with the other dishes. After the mains we were actually ready to burst (think Mr Creosote in Monty Python's the Meaning of Life) but still could not stop ourselves from trying the caramelized fried banana and the palm sugar caramel - both were decent but not really worth ordering. Should be noted that I am in general not that fond of Asian desserts so these were well-executed but not my style. We followed up with ordering the tea, great selection from Swedish micro coffee roaster Johan & Nyström who are also aiming at providing high-quality tea. It is served in the Chemex coffee maker, a very nice display and show so in addition to tasting great it also looks great. Weird note is also that it is difficult to find the toilets, if coming from the restaurant area it is on your right, down a corridor with a not very clearly marked door. Service faltered a bit again at the end, took like 20 minutes to get the staff to stop talking to each other and actually bring the bill around. In general the service was attentive to start with but then failures like the pace the food came at and the inability to pay attention to when someone wants to pay was really annoying. Perhaps just start-up issues but still not acceptable so service was a weak 3 and food 5 so overall rating is a 4.

And…read morenormally I would never eat any Asian food in Europe, but Stockholm is cold in October and the wife was feeling sick...so a hot bowl of "Pho" was in order. 145SEK was bit of a shocker for a bowl of Pho, as I'm used to paying only 70-80SEK in California. However this is Sweden, prices already include tax, and you typically don't leave a tip for counter service restaurants in this country...so the price wasn't too absurd. The Pho is different, but still definitely Pho and the portion was about the same. Except for the wife's Chicken Pho...that bowl came with A LOT of chicken. It was least 50% more protein than my beef Pho...nice! 75SEK for the deep fried spring rolls...this was weird for me. From a Californian's perspective they're not quite an eggroll nor a spring roll...they're Swedish rolls? They were tasty enough, but the order only came with 3 small rolls...not worth 75SEK, sorry! Side Note: Hearing local Asian-Swedes speak perfect Swedish and English is so fascinating to me. Cold day in Stockholm? Not feeling well? Eatnam's Pho is worth a try.

I chose the chicken pho, as it included both white and dark meat, which you don't see at most places, and my friend ordered the tofu pho. We both emptied our bowls and left quite satisfied.
