Asian Post Office

Stökigt värre
Ljudnivån i lokalen är stundvis öronbedövande och spänner över alla frekvenser. Men konstigt nog sätter det en positiv prägel på upplevelsen. Det är själva pulsen i restaurangen som skapar det genuina intrycket av asien. Spännande smaker övertygar nästan hela vägen fram. Servicen är heller inget att klaga på genuins intresset för gäster och matlagningskonsten imponerar.
Jag saknar dock några toner på smakpaletten
Mat: 3.5
Atmosfär: 4

Another new Asian Fusion place, which I love. Most of the other Asian fusion sites (Farang, Miss Voon, Kasai, Shibumi, etc.) are quite dark, stylish, noisy and trendy. APO is quite neat, not very dark (not so strong lighting, but bright décor, as well as a lot of windows), quite trendy, not so noisy, but then they have also tried to bring in a little more cozy feeling, I think. I liked it, but I think I like the environment of the others even better. There's a little more going on. But I think some people will prefer this environment over the others, it probably depends on how you are as a person and what you like.

I liked the menu very much. About 20 small and medium dishes, and almost everything sounded awesome. Just right innovative, without becoming pretentious or difficult. The waitress recommended splitting 5-7 dishes into two people. We took seven and it was just right. What was really nice was that when the bill came in, it turned out that she had split three of the dishes in two, so that there would be just enough food for us. Nothing that we even noticed when we ate (that it would "only" be half the dish), but that made the bill about 200 KR lower. 👏🏻

The waitress was otherwise fantastic. So did the other two who came out and presented two of the servings. Best service I've had in a while. The only small minus was a little too long waiting on 2-3 occasions.

The first servings were chicken balos, fried oysters with browned soybearnaise (😱) and "popcorn shrimps". Deep-fried oysters were brutal! Innovative and sickly good. The chicken baos is cruelly good, but hard to fail with and might have been another little bit better if you're going to be a perfectionist. The popcorn prawns were good, but it got a little too much after a while when the dish was quite large. Now I like deep-fried, but know that many people may think that "it just tastes fried"; I don't think you should take this right.

The second serving was "APO's sashimi on today's fish with green mango and rose pepper yuzu" and raw tuna with noodles in mushroom broth. I'm afraid both of them were disappointing. The tuna was too boring, no exciting flavors, and I didn't like that the noodles and broth were almost fridge-cold. Sashimin was far too small, and also far too tart.

The third serving was deep-fried duck nut, duck liver and a tart tamarind chutney and seared (very fine) back steak, black garlic truffle créme, lemon yari and nashipäron. That's good, although I might have hoped for even better.

In summary, environment 4-, food 3+ and service 5. As a whole, it will be just enough for a four, but next time I hope that the food has risen another little bit, especially the lowest level.

Edit May 2021: Have been here two more times now and one time it was fantastic good, almost full pot food wise. Went here shortly thereafter again and ate much the same thing and then it was very good again, but maybe not full pot. Feels like a solid 4.
