Warning: this is going to make you hungry!
Today marks the final day of celebrations for Chinese New Year, and the tastiest way to celebrate the arrival of the year of the ox is clearly eating some delicious food at one of Stockholm’s many Chinese restaurants. Stockholm really has a taste for Chinese food and in most neighbourhoods you can find quality Chinese cuisine. However, the restaurants on this list really are something special, offering a wide range of Chinese foods from salt and pepper tofu to Szechuan beef, and just about everything in between.
