Authentic Chinese food in Bergen.
Soya has served guests in Bergen since 2014. The kitchen cooks from several regions of China, and dishes are shared at the table, as they are in China.
Dishes from several regions
Sichuan dishes such as Sze Chuan beef and mapo tofu, Cantonese dim sum such as siu mai and char siu bao, braised dishes from East China, lamb soup from northern China, Peking duck and homemade dumplings.
Shared, the Chinese way
Dishes arrive in the middle of the table and are shared, as many Chinese groups expect. Ten to a table (十人一桌) is an option we are glad to discuss.
Chinese-speaking staff
Members of our team speak Chinese, so Chinese-speaking guests and tour leaders can ask about the food in their own language.
水煮牛肉、红烧肉，麻婆豆腐等各种中国菜品完全不踩雷
Translation“Sichuan boiled beef, red-braised pork, mapo tofu and all kinds of Chinese dishes, without a single letdown.”
我们在挪威玩了很多天一直没找到能做这么地道的中餐
Translation“We travelled around Norway for many days and never found anywhere that could cook Chinese food this authentic.”
