Lao Wai, Chinese vegetarian restaurant in Vasastan

Chinese vegetarian restaurant at Luntmakargatan 74

Eat Chinese, as the Chinese do.

Lao Wai is a Chinese vegetarian restaurant. Our menu is primarily inspired by the genuine Sichuanese and Taiwanese kitchens.

In a party of two or more, each guest orders a different dish and everyone shares it. The serving dish is placed in the center of the table, and all in the party take from it to their individual rice bowls.

We do not use MSG.

Two dishes in patterned glass bowls on a wooden table, bottles behind

The dining room at Lao Wai: a red lacquered counter, a black wall with the open door to the kitchen, and calligraphy on the wall to the right — You are not only welcome to dine at our tables, but also to look around our kitchen.

One at a time, fresh from the wok.

Each dish is prepared individually and served one at a time. Nothing is made ahead of time and then reheated.

Blocks of tofu in warm light — We feature soft, firm, pressed, and smoked tofu in our dishes.
