    Occasionally, and rather unexpectedly, you stumble into a neighbourhood gem that has quietly evolved beyond a restaurant churning out dishes for the bottom line. Stepping into Winner House, a warm buzz of kitchen clangs, mirth, and playful interaction between the occupants greets you. There are two menus, and the one handwritten in traditional Chinese will not be out of place in Hong Kong. The Cantonese poached chicken 白切雞 was well seasoned - chewiness of the skin was there, meat could be more tender but overall well cooked with no blood. The steamed fish 清蒸𩶘魚 was sublime; with minimal seasoning you could taste the springy freshness of the flesh. Great value too. The chicken wings were deep fried just the way we like it, thin flavourful batter with minimal grease and juicy. Often the most simple dish is a measure of a kitchen’s depth, and the pak choy 蒜炒白菜, glazed simply in garlic and the wok’s smokiness, achieved the wok hei that has eluded most Chinese restaurants in this part of the world. There were thoughtful little gestures throughout the meal, a friendly banter or some extra tidbits to make you feel at home. Judging by the clientele, they have managed to strike a good balance in pleasing the Scandinavian palates without neglecting the Cantonese fundamentals.

    This review is based on the quality of their hidden Cantonese styled menu in Chinese language. Update Sept 2023: I ordered the dishes I liked from last visit and they remained the same outstanding quality. We tried the soya chicken and sweet sour pork this time, and they were pleasant. The pork odor was totally removed and the sauce with pineapple matched perfectly with the crispy pork. First Visit July 2023: Thanks to this place, I fulfilled my craving for the salty fish aubergine stew, which is pretty unique in Stockholm. The lamb turnip stew was also pleasant to have, and also pretty rare to find in Stockholm. The stir fried dishes were unfortunately lack of Wok Hei (the important indicator for Cantonese stir fried dishes), but the flavors and textures were good. The service was beyond outstanding. We got complimentary spring rolls, shrimp chips, fruits, desserts, candies, lemonade… Eventually we decided to “run away” because we were too full and wouldn’t want to waste any food. We over ordered a lot of food because we wanted to try as many dishes as possible, and we brought home the leftovers. You only need half the portion we ordered to be full.

    A very traditional Chinese restaurant. The furnitures and decorations are old-school Chinese restaurants in Sweden. The music they play is mostly Chinese pop songs from the 80s. But that's all ok. The place is clean. Toilet is not smelly. Most important is that they serve authentic Cantonese food. We ordered 2-3 main dishes and a couple of small dim sam items. Steamed fish and congee (rice porridge) are our favourite, very yummy. Our 3y girl ate at least a quarter of the fish! The staff are also super friendly. They keep bringing us free food. Prawn crackers when we just sit down at the table, then spring rolls, fried chicken, and steamed & deep-fried mini buns during our meal. When we almost finish our meal, they gave us red bean sweet soup and ice cream for our little girl. After we paid, there were more compliment snacks including fortune cookies, candies, Pocky finger snacks and a clementine! Will definitely come back with friends who appreciate authentic Cantonese food.

    Firstly, useful location and very friendly service. Secondly, everything is pleasingly 1980s - great if that's your jam. The place looks like it hasn't changed since it first opened many moons ago. I like such places. The food? Very solid. Certainly as far as Chinese restaurants in Sweden go. I had the veg spring rolls too start, which were fine. 1980s presentation, but that's okay, because spring rolls (like club sandwiches) are timeless. For my main course, I picked the mapo tofu, which was one of a fair few clearly labelled plant-based options. It was very tasty. What I'd like to know is if the handwritten Chinese menu has the same dishes on it as the Swedish & English menu or if there are specialties non-Chinese speakers will never discover. 😉 All in all, a nice place. Part time travel back to the 80s, part timeless Chinese comfort food experience.

    The look of this restaurant is dated and worn but the Cantonese dishes are worth the trip. We had a few classics during our visit: - SWEET AND SOUR PORK ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The tangy sweet and sour red sauce stir-fried with pineapples, bell peppers and onions truly is so good and uses a tradition recipe. The fried pork is a little too fatty and hard but the sauce covers over the faults. - SALT AND PEPPER SQUID ⭐⭐ This uses frozen, commercially cut cuttlefish or squids. It was generous in size but bland. The salt pepper spices and kick of chili didn't come through. - BRAISED TOFU WITH SEAFOOD ⭐⭐⭐ Good stew and enjoyed the tofu cubes, mushrooms and vegetables. The prawns, cuttlefish, scallops and mussels have va frozen taste. - FRIED SPRING ROLLS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crunchy veggie filled appetiser that came freshly fried and hot. It went nicely with the sweet chilli dip. - PRAWN CRACKERS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small round appetisers. Freshly fried. The portions of the mains here are very filling. The service is warm and they keep coming back to check if everything is ok. Very generous with the complimentary spring rolls, desserts of red bean soup and fried buns that you can eat wuth condensed milk and sweets that follow even after you have surrendered to food coma.

    Can recommend. There is a separate Hong Kong style menu if you would like to eat HK version of Chinese food. Images are from the special menu. Price is not too pricey and not the cheapest. The staff is gentle and kind. Will come back! The fried shrimps and steamed chicken was delicious. However the flat HK noodles was not satisfying.

    Most authentic Chinese food I’ve eaten (so far) in Sweden. (I live most of the year in LA and I’m Chinese, so I have a good baseline for comparison). A good sign when we arrived was there were at least three other tables of Chinese speaking (both Cantonese and Mandarin) diners. Came here for dinner with my partner and my parents, who were visiting from LA. We ordered from the Chinese menu…I completely agree with Foodprints’s comments about the food, especially the stir fried bok choy. Don’t be put off by the sight of the pork rib and lotus root soup…it may not look the most appetizing but it’s delish…it reminded me of a soup my Farmor used to make. After eating a couple bites of the foo juk dish, we all commented that it tasted so good…like home cooking. The steamed fish was super fresh and delicious…my mom and I both commented that it tasted even better than any steamed fish that either of us have eaten recently in LA/San Gabriel Valley. The least successful dish (although still delicious) was the mapo tofu. Growing up eating this dish (my mom’s maternal side is from Chengdu), I had high expectations…overall the flavors were there but it needed a bit more sourness/acid flavor profile and heat. Also, the pickled veggie used in the dish needed to be diced…it was cut in strips (or perhaps not cut at all), which was strange…but at least the dish had the pickled veggie. (I admit I may be a bit critical with my evaluation of this dish…don’t let this dissuade you from trying it). If you’re in Stockholm and craving authentic Chinese food, it’s definitely worth the trek out to Sundbyberg for a meal here. We’ll be back!

    Not wowing flavour but more of homie. The place you go when you’re homesick from southern east asia. The menu doesn’t have any price and it’s all handwritten, the owner is kind but barely speaks English. Cool place, will recommend. 😎

    Very good lunch options, the service is also very good. They end the meal with complimentary small icecream and fortune cookie, which was a nice touch. The dimsums available in their evening menu are also pretty good. Recommended..!

    The best and most authentic Cantonese food I had in Europe so far! I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this restaurant! The owner was such a nice lady, she kept giving us little sweets after our meal. This is the place to go if you are missing some real Cantonese cuisine.

    Great spot for authentic Cantonese food and really friendly service. They have a “secret” menu in Chinese (and also with English translation). We ordered the daily soup, beef brisket, steamed fish, and garlic veggies (try the choy sum or gai lan). But you can also get “fyra små rätter” and other westernized dishes if you’re craving that.

    We had a very yummy dinner at Winner House after a long drive from Umea. We already had some food at 5pm at a service pit by the motorway and not that hungry. However since having a Chinese food stomach, we tried our lucks by searching on google. Winner House is the highest score restaurant in the region. We thought we give it try and the food and services were beyond my expectations. The owners really welcomed us in, at about 9pm which they supposed to close. Foods were second to non. The made the best Pak Choi dish I ever tasted in years, felt at home. My wife thought the lotus pork soup tasted like Mum made, very authentic Cantonese cuisine. Dim Sum were awesome. My daughters really enjoyed the Won Ton Noodle and the desserts. We really enjoyed food, only realized that forgot to take photos. That’s why the only picture where fruits sweets desert plate.😄 I recommend highly on this restaurant.

    Probably the most authentic Cantonese Chinese food in Stockholm. So so comforting, every dish we’ve tried here is fantastic.
