Great authentic chinese food with focus on the Szechuan kitchen. Very nice flavours, not your typical Swedish-Chinese restaurant. Cosy place and the staff takes well care of you.

Prices are high. In fact I would say that they are touching the limit of what I would be ready to pay for Chinese cuisine and if they were higher I would unlikely visit again. But the quality is also good and this should be pointed out.

My wife and I had an enjoyable meal. We were warmly welcomed on a Sunday night in early September by the owner and shown to our table.

He spoke English as well as Chinese and quickly gave to us our menus.

The restaurant design is very pleasing however a little dim for my liking. Still, this was more than compensated by the authentic Chinese food provided.

The portions were of a reasonable size and the cost was actually much less than expected.

Yes, Hand on heart I can recommend this restaurant.

When looking for a genuine authentic Chinese experiences, your options tend to be limited. Restaurants tend to offer too much and not focus on what they are good at. Tien Tsin is different. A clear focus on the menu with specific dishes from regions they are familiar with. An extensive vegan menu and pride in what they do. The price point is a bit higher than your usual, let’s call it, Asian restaurant, but it’s well deserved. Starting from the modern and charming Chinese ambience, to the attentive and proud staff and lastly to the fantastic food. It’s unlike other places and having a little feast with your significant other or friends along the vegan menu is going to be something you won’t regret.

Absolutely recommended!
