Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went here for a night out while visiting friends in Helsinki, as my partner had visited once on a business trip and enjoyed it. We both had the Marbled beef sirloin, one with fries and dark tarragon butter, the other with potato pavé and saffron butter. The steaks were beautifully cooked, the butters delicious and the potatoes excellent. We both preferred the dark tarragon butter. We had to take our 5 year old and although the staff welcomed him there's not really much for that age, understandably, but we wanted to have a nice meal out, so he had fries and some ice cream and was happy. The staff were really kind and friendly and the drinks were good too. Highly recommended.

Today eve, I was meeting 2 of my good friends to chat with in front of an excellent beef dinner. One friend had not visited Lönkka before and he became almost obsessed with Lönkka's dry aged beef steaks already by viewing Lönkka's DRY AGED menu in the internet - he hadn't had it before.
I orderted sugar salted salmon as a starter. And a generous (300 g) flank steak (medium done) for the main course, with sauce Bearnaise and french fries & five spice ketchup.
The food served was very delicous again, including the dessert (Ice cream &Irish Coffee)! And the Argentinian Malbec red wine was excellent as well.
The service was very nice and friendly, too!
This is the place to recommend for a GO if you love delicious beef steaks and good wine!

I can be short on this place: it is not my place, I will go somewhere else.
To motivate my conclusion: waiting to get in, long waiting times for the service, small portions and overpriced (even for Finnish standards).
The quality of the food was not bad, actually it was pretty good. I had the catch of the day fish. The portion was about 60-80 grams, I think in many restaurants they would have considered it a starter. My rating: 2 out 5.

I Strongly recommend stefan's steakhouse instead of lönka. My steak was oversalted, you couldn't eat it and my steak was also really tough. My fiancee steak was still on the limit of being able to eat it just like that. Then my fiancee salad was a big joke, it was just lettuce leaves and a drop of salad dressing on top 😂 It was our first and last time to visit that restaurant...

Went here because it has been hyped but was disappointed on both food and service but also the hygiene level.
As a starter I had the crab cake which was rather tasteless, unless you count the dry bread crumbs which had no seasoning to speak of and the mouthfeel was dry and dull. As a funny side note the receipt has this dish set as "Grap cake" - it does peak volumes that the staff can't write what they serve. For the main I had the catch of the day and only the potatoes were worth eating, the fish was unevenly cooked, low on seasoning and the other vegetables a bit sloppy and oily. Did not bother to order a dessert.
All wine pairings were bad, it is clear that the wine list lacks ambition and understanding of what wines can do to food if paired professionally.
The women's toilet was messy and it seems that it has not been cleaned for quite a while, in my mind this does reflect on how the business is run.
The service was slow and unprofessional.
The décor is absolutely hideous, a remnant from the 1990's but in a very tacky way and completely out of context.

Wow wow wow!
We've never tasted better beef ever. Here you get steak that melts in the mouth and has an amazing taste. The accessories are also superb!
The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and very professional and friendly waiters with a glimpse in the eye. The drinks were superb and the dessert was absolutely amazing. The experience at Lönkka was 10/10.

An impromptu meal for one which turned out to be great. Started with the dry aged toast and then dry aged sirloin. Small but reasonable wine list and an old fashioned on request. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Nice food for a reasonable price. Vegetarian burger is quite tasty and tartar is good. The risotto was a bit off. Overall, a good experience

Stopped here for a Friday lunch with my daughter. Nice steak and good sallad buffet but what I really enjoyed was the beer to go with the food (Paloaseman panimo, Vasikka IPA) though I had hard time choosing as the 8-bit brewing tap room is in the same facility. Nice selection of some of the finest local crsft brews. So, either a lunch or just a pint you're after,this is your place.

Very cool place and atmosphere. Good food and wine. Younger crowd and maybe that’s why it’s a bit more noise, but all in all very nice. I would recommend the flank for sharing - very good! The service has a lot of potential, it was slow and they forgot the orders. A lot of empty glasses. All in all we were happy, but it could have something to do with all the wine we drank..
