Stopped by Hello Monkey for lunch after walking around Gothenburg, Lots of interesting flavors in the Monkey Dim Sum mix, in a very cosy atmosphere. Service was friendly and quick. One thing to note - there is no "Children's menu", so our 6-year old was happy with ice cream while we enjoyed our dim sum plates.

This is an excellent restaurant in every sense, service, food and atmosphere. The kitchen is really creative and different. They have very good vegetarian and vegan alternatives, not poorly served. The melon salad with lemon sorbet was fantastic! The flavors are an incredible mix of Asian fresh ingredients and spices served in an attractive way and the atmosphere is very... More

In a city where Asian cuisines are compromised considerably, Hello Monkey gives us some opportunity to find the flavours we enjoy so much in Asia. I wish they'd hold the salt though!!!! A Swedish thing.

This restaurant feels like the result of a couple of Swedish guys backpacking through Asia and coming up with the idea of starting a restaurant while drunk. "Lets bring all the tastes of Asia together" they might have thougth, well, not all flavours contained in not so small or homogenous continent of Asia fit well together. It may have changed... More

I went to this restaurant twice. The first time I went with a colleague in 2011 to the Magasinsgatan restaurant and it was a really great experience (we still talk about it). Great food, really cosy atmosphere. However when I went back there with another colleague to the Linnégatan restaurant I was disappointed as I had great expectations. The food... More

Nice friendly little restaurant with great service. Very unique- wonderful flavors. We ordered the din sum platter for two- it was very good, with a nice variety of little delicacies. It was a little pricy though- next time would just order from the a la carte since the price was more reasonable and everything that came by our table looked... More

Very bustling and crowded but quick efficient service! The food in general is very tasty and well prepared with some inventive fusion dishes on the menu. Definitely a great little place

The food is great, really! A must is the Japanese steak tartare. Service is good to friendly. Make a reservation or you might have to go without the great food.
