Downtown shopping and craving Chinese? Check out Chopsticks on Mäster Samuelsgatan. It’s a welcome break from the shopping hordes on Drottninggatan and is just two minutes away from Åhléns City.
This Chinese restaurant on Mäster Samuelsgatan is not bad at all as downtown restaurants go, and after trying other city-center Chinese restaurants I have to say it’s become one of my regular takeaway spots.
From the outside, it doesn’t look like the classiest joint in town and, inside, expect typical Chinese-restaurant-style décor – bamboo details, flowery prints and carpets – in other words, nothing out of the ordinary. But once you’ve studied the menu, got a smile and greeting from the friendly waitresses and enjoyed your food, you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised. It may look like a budget kind of place on the outside but this is not reflected in the prices or the service which are mid-range and good respectively (from my experience). Main courses average around SEK 160.
There’s a great choice of all the usual dishes from Peking Duck to Won Ton soup, fried noodles and if you can’t decide on your order, go for the Chopsticks four-dish speciality which is a combination of shrimp, beef, chicken and pork. One of my favorites is the chicken with cashew nuts which is always delicious – a huge portion with a generous helping of chicken, peppers, bamboo, water chestnut and an even more generous helping of rice.
You can dine at Chopsticks or get a takeaway. Open for lunch and dinner.
