Review of Surfers – by Adam L.

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.
