Reviews of Surfers

What has happened to Surfers? I went here with the hope, as so many times before, to be served top-class Chinese food and experience exciting flavor explosions. But no, disaster this time.

Shaoxing's prawns: snuff-dry prawns served in a tasteless sauce with overcooked pumpkin slices. Big plate chicken: someone has got the idea to replace the tender, amazingly good lamb that was previously on the menu in the dish with the hand-pulled noodles - for dry chicken, why? Even the safest bet - ginger-scented tofu - was a disappointment this time.

I can live with mistakes in the food if the service makes up for it, but that was not the case here. When we pointed out the dissatisfaction to the staff, we received no response or attempt to solve the problem. The waitress simply said "okay" and turned on her heel = such a bad service experience that I won't go back here again.

The watermelon/chili drink was quite okay.

Had a great night with a group of 7 friends. The table was the perfect size, so you could talk to everyone together without shouting!

The staff nice, the food good, nice venue and location. Will definitely be back!

Surfers är alltid en bra idé. Perfekt för en drink, snacks samt middag. Maten är jätte god och personalen är trevlig! Miljön är mörk men fin inredning.

Was there o ate with the family on a Thursday night.
When you come in, it's a very nice interior, you feel the Chinese atmosphere. Very nicely set on the tables!

When it came to the menu, it was very difficult to understand what the dishes were, so it took time before you felt satisfied with your choice of the dishes. There were very many different dishes so would have liked to have seen a more clear menu. But the waiter had a nice patience o explained to us what everything was o what they recommended ☺️

We took their shrimp balls, two noodle dishes, ribs, fried cabbage/pork, and baozi.

The shrimp balls were sickeningly good, fresh flavors and crispy. Their ribs were also good with a lot of flavor on them.

But what I was unhappy about was that their noodle dishes had far too much oil, almost so that they swam around in oil. So it ruined the dishes quite a bit unfortunately. And baozin was good but I thought it would be bao buns. I asked the waiter before I ordered that dish if it was bao buns and he said it was like that but it was something completely different. Hence my rating.

Otherwise, it was a cozy concept that everyone can share with each other, etc. There were good portions too so you were full! ☺️

Will certainly go there again to give it another chance when everything else was good o it felt festive when you were there with your company!

Great vibe, really nice staff, especially Ludde the Chinese spirits sommelier - what a legend. The food is great as well. I don't know what they put in the spinach, but it's amazing - I don't even like spinach otherwise, but this was bomb.

Mysig miljö, kunnig och trevlig personal och otrolig mat. Kinesisk mat på en helt annat nivå än man är van vid. Äter här ofta och har aldrig blivit besviken. Biang biang lamm, kyckling med macademia nötter, dan dan nudlar, grillade ostron, kumminlamm, wokat grönt, svamp, vårgrisen…är några favoriter men menyn bytas ofta.

So good. We had the fortune of grabbing a couple of the open seats by the bar (we hadn’t booked - on a Wednesday night) and we were met with a fantastic service with a barman who knew as much about the food as he did about the wine. We left the food choice to him. And he proposed 3 wines to choose from, all of which we got to try. We ended up choosing 2 out of 3 and they niches the food really well. And yes, the food was fantastic! And the selection was a part of it. The balance of flavours and the different levels of 🌶️ were very well managed indeed.
I will be back!

Fun place, special and pleasant atmosphere. Food-wise, it was both highs and lows, but in summary it can be said that it is of course well-prepared food and that some dishes are hits but that have still a little difficulty with the Chinese flavors. The Wonton dumplings were really good, and the shrimp balls were 10 out of 10. The strong chicken was also good, but halfway through the dish I couldn't eat any more - lucky you took it last. Otherwise, there were two dishes that were decent and two that were nothing special. 7 dishes were enough and was left over for me and my company.

The big shot of the evening was the world-class service, better than that. She had recommended us a dish, which we took even though we didn't think we'd like it, and when she made sure we hadn't even eaten half, she noted that we didn't like it anyway, and we partially agreed. When the bill came, she had deducted it, which surprised us as we had chosen to order it anyway (it was absolutely not the case that she pushed). Incidentally, the dishes cost 88 SEK/pc and our entire bill went for 640 SEK (excl. tip and we did not drink any alcohol), which I think is extremely affordable. They could easily have increased prices by 25 % and continued to be under high pressure.

Edit 2021: Have now also tested Surfers at the new address on Norrlandsgatan and the feeling is probably about the same. Good food, but nothing spectacular. Not very pricy for address, ambition and target group. The new room may not be quite clean, do not think they got the atmosphere right.

Här blir man alltid lika nöjd, vare sig om man vill ta en drink, sätta sig i luckan för en mindre middag eller komma som ett stort sällskap. Maten känns genuin, men ändå nytänkande och man går aldrig ifrån där hungrig.

Enligt mig en av de bästa asiatiska i stan! Kinesisk Sichuan at its best! Missa inte räkbollarna, friterad tofu och bangbangen. Ta också en shot baiju!

Starts with the best, clearly the service. Sick nice waiter in a good way. The food was also good but no jaw-dropping unfortunately. Baozi good but a little tasteless. Stir-fried green neutral and very generous, more flavor than expected. Dandan noodles good balance and sichuan sneaks on with its numb effect! Lucky shrimp balls were disappointing, tasteless and boring. On the other hand, ginger-scented tofu was really damn good. Almost too cute but think in combo with everything else it was fantastic!

I have previously visited Surfers in Visby, and have since loved their food. They have really made me love Chinese and Sichuan. Now It was a visit to Stockholm, where they camped in the Bumblebee during the summer (not on the Government Street) but with all the same concept.

Here you can just drop in, but while waiting for a table you can take one of their delicious drinks in the bar.

Three dishes per person are recommended, i.e. six dishes of two people. A Little depending on how hungry you are, and what you order but five can suffice, six slim though almost down.

Their Ingefärsdoftande Tofu is a must, even räkbollarna are delicious as you get along with a dressing and salad leaves for eating like tacos. Also Tried a new dish, crispy fish-also a hit! Most of It is good, and the combination of all The small dishes is both fresh but satiating.

The Environment is charming and relaxing, completely in my taste-the service is the only way I have to point out. It is not first-class, they do not make a direct mistake but I would have liked a nicer, warmer tone. I do not get the welcoming and homely feeling, do not know if I had bad luck with service both times, but it gives them a four instead of fiver.

Recommended!

Varit här nu säkert 15 gånger. Det finns inget godare enligt mig.

Jättemysig lokal, trevlig och avspänd personal, supergoda rätter, åt fyra olika vegetariska. Önskar de kunde ta tillbaka bangbang-potatisen som jag åt på Surfers i Visby. Den var oförglömlig.

Nice environment and good food but not wow. Maybe two dishes out of seven that were wow but the rest was just good. We had to wait a good while before we could order drinks. In the end, we had to ask for menus and order drinks ourselves and my company that ordered the champagne was turned off. So not the best first impression. The ribs and shrimp balls are great, so take them. Very good drinks though so maybe will be a return visit for that matter!

Surfers do it again! 

One of my favorite restaurants in Stockholm. In their food there is a lot of taste and you get an incredible amount for the money. This time we chose to bring in six dishes on three people, it was enough – very full and satisfied after our visit! 

We ate their good shrimp balls, bang bang (Chicken breast with a completely insane sesame sauce), dumplings on pork, their tart vinegar (a must!) and even their dish of the month which was a meat dish with noodles. 

Incredibly satisfied with the food and service!

If you like authentic Chinese food, Surfers are worth a visit! Mainly recommend the shrimp balls. Something to keep in mind, however, is that the majority of the dishes are strong, unfortunately I think the strong takes over the dining experience if you do not bring in at least a more neutral dish. If you love strong food, however, this will be a new favorite place, if not ask the staff once extra what they would recommend!

I tested their pop-up in the Bumblebee last summer, which made me start daydreaming about their Auspicious räkbollar! To relieve abstinence, a table was booked at the Surfers.

The Decor is kitschy and cheerful and the atmosphere is just lovely. A mix of couples, friends, afterworkare, all age groups.

There Is an upper floor for drop-in and bars. Bookable tables are downstairs.

The Breakfast was excellent. Informative, friendly and looked to then ochdå. Because I know that Räkbollarna (believe me, you get to be-Sat) served 3 St and we were two in the party and I did not want to mess about the third ball or risk that I would get the less bit if we shared so (.-O) I jokingly asked the waitress and she could smuggl A in a fourth ball.
Understand The luck when she really smuggled into a 4e ball. Wonderfully cute man.

But

In any case. All dishes are Tapasstorlek and 98 SEK each.

Certainly 100% short is Räkbollarna (no S # it Sherlock) and Barbaric radish.
Everything else is a bit of a matter of taste but tastes good. I am in any case satisfied. All food is also given a bowl of rice.

Beer, wine and cocktails.

Although It was najs on the downstairs it felt a bit isolated and stiff, plus uncomfortable high noise level. Seems to me that the upstairs were more fun and more vivid.
