Kokyo - Stockholm

Amazing food and such a lovely host!! Updated from previous review on 2021-11-05

Such a classic for vegans in Stockholm! Super affordable and the family who runs it are so lovelymany vegan options.

This is a place I 've held dear for a good 20 years, I can hardly believe I had yet to review it. Heck, I even had my introduction to sushi here, and distinctly remember wasabi being mentioned and me and my company completely misunderstanding what was said, as we were utterly unaware of what that suspicious green stuff was. Oh well, it 's been a while. It 's been so long, in fact, that Kokyo recently changed ownership, yet the concept remains pretty much the same. And as far as my own experience goes, there might have been an occasional less-than-inspired evening, but on the whole they continue to deliver. I would particularly recommend gongbao surou, as it is a dish whose texture is truly something special. Something else that is known to remain almost unchanged are the prices, barely adjusted for inflation. As such, Kokyo offers some of the best value for money in the whole of Stockholm.

Basic quirky interior. The place seems popular with locals. There was plenty of vegan choices. The food is tasty, fast service and friendly courteous staff.

Large vegan menu. They make their own homemade tofu in different shapes/ flavours which is delicious. Service was excellent, the waitress was so friendly and helpful. Get the tofu stew. Prices are reasonable as portions are quite large.
