- Kajsa HartigMay 27, 2019Typical Finnish food, feels like a genuine 1930’s or 40’s interior. Great food and service. A different experience.
- JApril 18, 2014Really good food, nice service and affordable. Be aware that they check your coat at the entrance and make you pay 2 euros for it, even though they only tell you that when you leave - not cool.
- Stefan ReipMarch 3, 2023You feel like in an 70ies James Bond movie atmosphere wise, but the staff is friendly, food is excellent and portions are big.
- Timo MuttonenDecember 13, 2015Oldest ongoing local restaurant in southern Helsinki. Try fried baltic herrings with mashed potatoe.
- Soila MariaFebruary 4, 2016There is a small cabinet room if you want to have privacy for a mid-sized group (~15). Ask for reservations.

- Stephanie LautJune 8, 2012Great Food with lots of Locals dining here. Had the filled fried hering and shrimp stew. Both were wonderful!
- Tommaso De BenettiJuly 31, 2013Food is simple but very, very tasty, price of vines on the other hand made me die inside.

- Jim BaileyDecember 13, 2015The service was nice and friendly however when it comes to the food I never like leaving a poor review so I will leave it at that I will not be returning.
- Jouni PirhonenSeptember 9, 2021Starters are Ok, Vorschmack is ok. But generally over-priced, and over-praised
- Petar TsankovJuly 11, 2016Watch out: The doorman takes your jacket (w/o asking) and demands 2€ to give it back. He will also show you the wardrobe-service sign (in Finnish) and claim this is a "Finnish tradition".
- Piritta MaavuoriMay 10, 2016Last time we had grilled salmon and Wiener Schnitchel. He said the meat dish was best he had had, perfect, as if from 1970's, in a good way. My salmon dish melted in the mouth. Service is profesiional
- Lunch menu is always good, but go for the Sikala meatballs, always works!!!

- Fuyuhiko TakayaSeptember 20, 2015Finlandの家庭料理を出すRestaurant。日本語メニューもあるし日本語のWEB-siteもあり日本人の集客には熱心だ。観光客には有名なようで日曜の夜に行ったら英語の会話も目立ったけど日本人も結構居た。「地球の歩き方」に出てるんだろうな~。写真はこの店のSignatureでもあるボルシュマック (Vorschmack ) 15.9 euro。 Read more
- Olga RodionovaMarch 10, 2019Суп - просто сказка, замечательное обслуживание и огромные порции. Но не берите большую порцию супа - она на четверых и подаётся в супнице;)
- BejzilAugust 10, 2014Ради лососёвого супа, оленины, тефтелек и судака стоит умереть! На десерт попробуйте традиционный финский сыр с морожкой и замороженных клюкву с карамель, не пожалеете. Всё это обошлось в сто евро)
- Олеся ШпакFebruary 26, 2017Не туристическое место с великолепной местной кухней. Большое порции, ненавязчивое обслуживание. Стейк из оленины и сырный десерт на 5+!
