This is the third time within three months that we stumbled on to a pretty good Asian restaurant in a provincial Finnish town almost in the proverbial "middle of nowhere". We stopped at Kimchee for lunch just before their buffet lunch was about to close. The salad bar had some Asian choices, including kimchee! The main courses were chicken korma and egg/bean/mushroom omelette with sriracha sauce. A pleasant surprise was whole grain rice ("modern" comes with the license to deviate from offering white jasmine rice!).
Their menu looked very interesting including hot lavastone barbecue, which is rare even in Helsinki (the chef said only one trendy Helsinki restaurant has it). If I happen to come by Uusi Kaupunki again, I'll be sure to try a la carte.
I do hope that this place gets the attention it deserves and survives. It is a good sign for the Finnish food scene that restaurants like this are cropping up in small towns!
One of the best international restaurants in Espoo. Food was great. The person who took our take-away order was very conscientious, e.g., in checking for food allergies etc.
Friendly serving staff. Well prepared meal.
We went here for a second time because the ambience was nice. Prices are a little on the high side. Portions are (a little too) generous. Service is somewhat sluggish.
Very nice buffet lunch with many choices.
it took 15 mins for a waiter to show up at the table. it was downhill from then on. she forgot to bring water after asking several times. the place was not very busy.. so I can't find any excuses for the lousy service. Food quality was pasable
standard Rosso fare of decent quality. Salad bar choice was more limited than usual.
