Delightful little place! Wonton soup to dieeeee for! Fantastic little restaurant - homemade sourdough, pork dumpling soup and a burrata with a sauce that had a bit of a kick to it were all delightful. Great location in central Reykjavik, right off the main shopping street. Delightful! Highly recommend!

I would like to start by saying that this restaurant was highly recommended to us by a local. We proceed to order the Sourdough bread and butter, the Chicken Spring Rolls. Really good depth of flavor and the sauce completes them! On to the Pork Wontons in Broth…..out of this world good. We ordered a second one and begged the Chef for the recipe! Friendly atmosphere, good vibes, and our waiter, Michael was great! We may be back again before we leave!
