Made in China
“How to have a proper feast.”
Made in China might sound like an odd name, but behind it is a Pan-Asian restaurant located right at Tredje Långgatan. The concept is based on sharing many smaller dishes and indulging in those. How does the vegan side of Made in China look like? Spoiler alert: pretty darn good.
The industrial atmosphere of Made in China can be a bit menacing at the beginning, but the friendly staff will make you comfortable quite fast. Once seated, you will find the menu on the table on a printed paper that also serves as a table cloth. A bit rough, but it works.
The concept of Made in China is to order a lot of different dishes and share them with your company. Thankfully, many options are vegan and though through. If you are overwhelmed, the staff will help out. We went for almost all of it.
Starting with Edamame coated in a fantastic Teriyaki sauce and rice chips with chili aioli, you will get a great first impression. Other things on the menu include a cucumber salad, watermelon sashimi, bao buns with sweet sambal coating, mushroom gyoza and broccoli stir fry.
The cucumber salad is coated in a sesame-lime dressing that is just on point. The watermelon sashimi is a bit odd, but definitely a well composed experience. And my personal favourite is the broccoli. Umami-rich, charred flavours and a perfect balance of chili gives it a comforting kick. Eat it with the soy and sesame rice!
The dishes come in batches, first snacks, then uncooked, then mains and then buns, but you can ask to have some of them served together.
As a desert you will find the usual sorbet and mousse with fruits. Good, but nothing too extraordinary in my opinion.
When it comes to the prices, you will spend roughly 400-500 SEK/person here including drinks. Not the cheapest eating out, but well worth it. It’s a place to come back to and try the changes on the menu, as well as just to impress your non-vegan friends with a plant-based feast.
Price:
Snacks: 45-55 SEK
Uncooked: 75 SEK
Main: 145 SEK
Dumplings: 95 SEK
Buns: 75 SEK/bun
The Verdict
Made in China is an experience you will not regret. Attentive staff, great menu and fantastic food, all in a stylish location. You will spend a lot of money here, but the attention to detail in the food compositions is worth it. The willingness to experiment with vegan ingredients and change the menu makes it also a worthwhile place to revisit. It’s a perfect place to end a festive occasion.
