    Authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine from the Hunan region. Heavenly for someone who loves spicy food! The owners are very friendly and accommodating, I felt very much at home. The ingredients are high quality and cooked with care. Prices are very reasonable. The restaurant has limited space so best to call before visiting.

    Cosy mom and pop place in a lovely neighborhood. The food was well rounded, not the punchy level of spice but very flavorful and visually spot-on. For experienced eaters or adventurous souls, they serve delicacies like pig ears and boneless chicken feet that aren't always easy to find in other East Asian restaurants in Europe. We also enjoyed the accompanying warm tea. There are not many better ways to cap a cold grey day in Helsinki. For English or perhaps non-Chinese speakers we would recommend messaging them to order food before visiting - we were directed to their online menu making it convenient to communicate. We would also recommend not repeating our mistake of popping in spontaneously instead of making reservations as the eatery is tiny (which of course doesn't compromise the wonderful service and food quality).

    Super hidden but such a great place. Portions were big and the owners are super friendly! Family owned business' food hits different. Highly recommend! Place is absolutely Tiny correlating with the name of the restaurant quite well. I recommend ordering takeout for more comfort and be prepared to wait approximately 30 mins for food as good things takes time.

    Absolutely delicious food and the portions are really nice and big. You will love this place if you are craving real and spicy flavors. We ordered a beef in chili oil that is half done on the photo and a pork leg. Beef had amazing flavors and great amount of garlic. Pork had some nice soy, cinnamon and coriander mix. Super nice people, you feel very well taken care of. This is a true gem. We will come back definitely. Thank you for a lovely evening and making our anniversary more special.

    Wow, best Chinese cuisine I’ve ever experienced in UK and European regions! The chef and his wife exactly know what they are doing! Amazing taste, especially for someone who loves szechwan and hunan spicy food, of course, non-spicy food is amazing as well! I ordered the fish head at the first time, it was soooo fresh and yummy! I will definitely go to visit tomorrow as soon as I arrive Helsinki again!!! Btw, they are so kind, helpful and polite! Thanks again, and can’t wait to eat here again:-)

    Really delicious food. The place IS really tiny so when eating in it's definitely an acquired taste but it reminds me of small local food places back in China so for me it's a plus. You should for sure order takeout if it happens to be full.

    When I studied 国际关系 in 北京, I ate beef soup every week. The dish at Tiny Food was so good that I got a bit emotional. I recommend this fine restaurant wholeheartedly. It offers the authentic Chinese taste for just 13 euros.

    Absolutely best authentic chinese food in town. Had mapo tofu w/out meat and some pak choy with garlic, great use of sichuan peppers. Lovely atmosphere, feels like home. Dine in for real experience.

    Quite disappointed, was expecting really bold spicy Hunan flavors and food options, got fairly mild food. Nice, but nothing majorly different that my Chinese partner (not from Hunan) cooks at home. Restaurant is very tiny, but cute. Service friendly. Prices reasonable.

    Best chinese food I have tried in Finland. It is authentic hunanese cuisine so quite spicy. Price level is cheaper compared to other chinese restaurants in Helsinki area. Restaurant is mostly doing take-away orders so seating available only for 4 person inside restaurant.

    Small place with only two tables and four seats. Make sure you ask for the whole menu. Tasty and seem-to-be authentic Chinese cuisine.

    What a hidden gem, I absolutely didn't expect to find such authentic Hunan cuisine in Finland! The restaurant sitting area is quite small and kitchen is very busy. Be sure to order from the Chinese menu if you want the authentic experience!

    Delicious authentic Chinese food. The place is really tiny, as the name says. There is only 1 table. The chef is really friendly and cut us a watermelon for dessert for free!
