Don't miss this spot when in Helsinki

While the surroundings aren't really cozy and the restaurant is a bit off the beaten track, the food is worth it. Good prices, decent servings, fast service, and - above all - delicious.

Great everyday food

I came here for a quick lunch. The place was a bit hard to find. There was only one option, and the price was OK. The food itself was very good and my overall impression is that this is a solid everyday option for those who often visit the area.

Pros: Taste, Price

Cons: Few options

delicious fried noodles and many optiond

I had fried udon noodles which were delicious, and there was enough tofu and the portion size was just perfect. There were only about five tables in the restaurant but people were happy to share tables.

Always delicious!

The food here is always amazing, big recommend! The restaurant itself is really small and bit hard to find at first, (although easy and fast to get to by metro, only two stops from Helsinki Central Railway Station) so I really recommend ordering takeout.

Pros: Delicious food, Convenient takeout ordering, Udon noodles

Insider tipp.

I am very happy, that I found this tiny restaurant at happy cow! It is a little bit hidden and we would never have found it by ourselves. The food was excellent and authentic! Very fresh and hot, directly out of the little kitchen to the table. Payment only by card.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Delicious food

Had the rice noodle salad (Banh Hoi), it was so fresh and I loved the soy pieces. Would definitely come back to try other stuff.

Little hideaway

I had fried noodles, with veggies and tofu. Tasty and fresh. They have two fast options at lunch time. Popular tiny place and menu with pictures of every dish.

Mium mium

Great restaurant! The vegetables cooking was amazing, great crunchiness ! The plates flavors were balanced, not too salty as you can sometimes get in Asian food. There are also so many option it’s nearly overwhelming but I’m sure whatever you choose will take you to the moon 😉

Pros: Lots of choices, Tastes amazing

The kind of restaurant I'd want to be closer to home

I literally fell in love with this tiny vegan restaurant. It took me at least 20 minutes to decide what I wanted to have because the options on the menu were all very appealing. I ended up getting vermicelli noodles in a Vietnamese stir fry. I can't recommend this place enough as it is also pretty cheap for the amount of food that you get.
I wish I tried all the items on their menu, so I'm definitely paying a visit to this place again.
