8-11/2 2025! Minisemester in Umeå😁
So cool!
Another Asian "miss Voon" concept where you order several small dishes to customize your own sharing experience. I'm all for it!
Interesting dining area where some tables had swings as chairs. The bar was designed like a typical Japanese rice paper lantern that lit up the otherwise dark venue. Since it was already dark outside the window, the dim atmosphere reminded me a lot of Toso in Gothenburg. If I had eaten when it was light outside, it would have been a completely different experience because there are no blackout curtains here🙂 High ceilings made it feel airy despite the restaurant being packed! 3 out of 5!
Fresh and flavorful small dishes with the right textures! The vegetables had a fresh crispness, and the spices were in just the right amount, complementing each other's flavors without being overpowering, far from the greasy mayonnaise/alibabba style that our taste buds could reach. Really delicious dishes. The drinks shouldn't be missed either as they were really well made, whether for sipping on their own or as a meal accompaniment. 3+ out of 5!
The staff had a pleasant demeanor and knew their service. Neither more nor less, so 3 out of 5!
