Surfers was great. We can in with no reservation as 5 people fully expecting not to be about to get seated but the guy out front did his best to accommodate us between reservations and cancellations. We proceeded to order a feast and it was quite a feast. The drinks were already amazing but the food was even better. Every item we got was really good. It's a great place for group dinners but they also have a lot of space and a bit of a quieter section of you wanted more intimate conversations. read more

Lively Chinese restaurant offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, playing great music offering American and Swedish language menus. I recommend ordering the chef's tasting menu for large groups which serves 4 people and can be customized to meet special dietary needs.

I heard mixed reviews about this place, so I didn't know what to expect. We ordered seven different dishes, one was outstanding, one were great, and five were crap. I wouldn't go again, but to help you order if you read this and somehow decide to go anyway, order the coriander salad and ribs. Avoid chicken with sesame and dumplings which were completely out of balance. On top of the food, the service was below average. read more

Amazing food and the servers knew so well what order the food should be eaten in and it all blended amazingly! Loads of vegetarian options and you can change some meats to quorn or tofu! Great drinks too! One of the best restaurants in Stockholm! read more

Great Sichuan cuisine served in a wonderful environment by an attentive and polite wait staff. The restaurant operates in a small-plate method, where you pick a few dishes that look interesting and they portion it out based on the number of people in your company. Sadly this leads to pricing not really being readily available, and the staff did not inform or confirm the price for what we were ordering. Slight warning for eaters on a budget. The food was a nice break from the standard and quite uninteresting westernized Chinese food common in Sweden. Our evening began with the waitress explaining the idea and brief history of the restaurant, which was a nice touch. From the seven dishes we ordered, three were memorable and delicious while the rest were passable, but not exceptional: The wonton soup, served as the appetizer for the meal, was the best, offering an harmonic combination of flavors and spices. The duck breast in broth and the fried tofu in ginger were both excellent as well (the latter with a supposedly ´secret recipe´, but the waitress did not hesitate to spill the details about it when asked). The other dishes we had were the pork ribs, shrimp and chicken balls as well as the twice fried pork, which were all good but not memorable. Our final choice was the mapo dofu, which was a disappointment. The locale itself was fantastic, managing to balance modern decorating details with classic 19th century furnishing, all with a distinctly Asian feel. Especially nice was the umbrella'd ceiling, which I suspect is the subject of many instagram backdrops. Despite being a busy sunday evening, the atmosphere was calm and dinner conversation could be had without shouting at your table partners. We did not try any desserts, but we did peruse the cocktail menu which was all the more interesting, offering a fun selection of custom Asian-inspired fusion drinks. The ginger and mango gin cocktail I sampled proved an ample replacement for dessert, and given the chance I would not hesitate to try more of the menu. In summary, Surfers offers great Chinese cooking, luckily not very reminiscent of the Chinese food us Swedes are used to. The concept with sharing small dishes provides a social and fun eating experience, but the restaurant could do a better job of being up front with the pricing. The atmosphere and cocktail list were wonderful, and Surfers makes an excellent place for a few drinks or a full dinner. read more

Amazing food and service !! We ordered about 7 different dishes to share between two people . The stand out dishes were the shrimp balls, red oil chicken and the eggplant!!! Perfectly spicy and well seasoned.! The servers were friendly and helpful as well. Also I have to recommend the cocktails , super good. They get really packed so make a reservation if you can. read more

I have been to Surfers in Gotland island & I was very pleased to hear that they have opened one here in Stockholm. Their dishes are very innovative & you don't wanna miss their spicy shrimp balls. They have really good cocktails as well & I just love the ambiance of that place! But I gotta say that the one in Gotland is much better! read more

Nice restaurant! Small dishes but very tasty and have good spice flavor. Friendly staff and different variety of options to choose from.

I had high expectations and I must say they weren't met. The drinks we had were really nice, but of the 5 dishes we ordered 2 were average and the others ok, but nothing special. read more

It seems like we were not as lucky as the other guests that visited this restaurant. Unfortunately we got bad service and food. There were also no RETURNING CUSTOMERS because we heard the waitress explaining how to order at this restaurant over and over again. Wouldn´t be surprised if people don´t go back. You don´t get what you pay for. Meaning that the price is too high for the food and service you get. The Chinese food level is very low in Stockholm compared to other cities like London, Paris, Düsseldorf or Tokyo so I can understand if people can put up with the food here. The only good Chinese food in Stockholm is probably Lao Wai. We were unlucky with the waitress too. She snapped at us when we shared our honest experience that we did not think that she would double all the orders without explaining to us what it really means when she said, "We decide the portions, you order what you want to eat". The price on the menu is 98kr per dish. We ordered 6 dishes and we were 4 persons. We did not think that she would double every dish. If we would´ve know, we would have definitely ordered differently. When we shared that experience and opinion with the waitress, she got aggressive and angry at us that she never had problems with other guests with her explanation and that we were stupid to think that each dish would cost 98kr when we are 4 persons. How could we have known if we were never there?! So be careful when you order here. They bluntly will double or triple the order if you are not clear with how much you are willing to pay in the end. And the food is really only hot and the taste is not particularly delicious. The only thing really delicious was their non alcoholic cocktail. The bar tenders were very skilled and the drinks were fantastic. read more

Outstanding Chinese food in a very casual environment. "Small plate" in style; every dish was superb. Radish dish was amazing; chicken was quite hot in spiciness, but very good. read more

I'm a huge fan of the original Surfers in Visby, where I've been a loyal customer for years. I was eager to try its sister restaurant in the big smoke (but also slightly scared to be disappointed). Spoiler! We were not. We had a wonderful experience, great food (plates actually slightly bigger than in Visby), great drinks and wonderful desserts! Desserts at Surfers has generally in the past been a bit of a downside, but I haven't minded since the food blows you away. Last night though I had to finish of with the creme brûlée and it was superb. Only downside? Always hard to secure a booking on weekends (this time I booked a month in advance). read more
