This place is never disappointing. I really love their bibimbap with chicken, it's the best i ever had! They also have very delicious sushi, even for me, who doesn't eat fish. Always a nice place to visit. read more

East - Asian Fusion Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

So I'm Swedish and this is my moment to talk shit about Sweden. The interesting thing about Stockholm is that it's the home of the best of best that Sweden has to offer (or so it thinks). It is after all the Capital of Scandinavia. What can I say about it though? Years of living there and being evolved into the culture left me still thinking that people ate up the hype so much that they were lazy half asses who didn't really live up to half of their acclaim. There's maybe two places that really make a proper drink in Stockholm. Very few places have great service. The standard approach of anyone working at a restaurant is that it's a temporary thing or it's that they have never experienced amazing service. East is an amazing example of how it goes... They have the makings of a good place. It's nice inside, it's got a good alcohol selection, the sushi isn't amazing but it's good. The drink I wanted was made with ginger ale and not ginger beer, big diff to those who don't know. The service left me wondering if they had a bad hangover. Rough night? Will I be here again? Likely. Will I be looking forward to it? Not really. read more

Very good, authentic cuisine but the concept by which you should get 2-3 dishes to get satisfied is a little bit annoying... given that everything there is quite expensive. There are some good ideas in the mix of tastes that always going to surprise; the chief seems to revisit all time classics with a modern touch. Nice! read more

The Place is quite cool and fun for people watching. Great location!!! But food is overrated and could benefit a lot from more quality + creativity. It is supposed to be a Japanese fusion menu but the very basics are not prepared very well. Rice is over cooked and with too much water, edamame overcooked too, green-tea prepared with much too hot water which makes it bitter...etc. Vegetarian sushi can be more creative for sure...although I love the quinoa instead of rice version. A chilli dish I ordered was soooo hot I couldn't keep it in my mouth...and when those in my company tried it they asked the waiter to replace it as it was inedible. The guy who served us was super nice...so no complaints there at all. Deserts though are excellent every time. Over all Service is so so...a little too 'chilly' and detached, so not bad but could be better. Although most have been quite friendly so far. Still...I go here often because I love Japanese fusion food in general and like the location as well as the ambience and the contemporary interial design of the place. read more

I had dinner here with friends the other night, my second time here. My first visit was a few months ago for lunch, when I had only the Tom Kai Gai (which was, and is, delicious). After my dinner, though, my feelings for East dropped to...meh. The restaurant itself is well designed, well lit, accommodating, and efficient. We were sat immediately by the friendly, smiling hostess, who walked us through a busy, vibey joint to a nice corner table. Our friendly server immediately took our drinks order, and was back almost as fast. The menu is comprehensive, the dishes having some flair (on paper), and a nice wine list with quite a few 'by-the-glass' choices. I ordered the Tempura Roll2 & Tom Kai Gai, with my dinner companions ordering the duck, sashimi platter, and dumplings. Its when the food arrived that my heart sank. My Tom Kai Gai was the most attractive (& most delicious), but everything else struck me as "phoning it in", & tasted like it. My tempura rolls were good, though the giant bowl of spicy mayonnaise sauce tasted like it came from a jar, and the seaweed wrapper did not taste fresh. The sashimi: slapped on a plate, with a giant nest of some inedible crap in the middle to fill a big round plate. It was ok at best; the dumplings: weird tasting, on a thick sauce that none of us could identify, none liked, but all agreed had a hint of miso (it was like peas blended to mush, but didn't taste like peas. In fact, it tasted like nothing, with a hint of Miso); the duck: the presentation was weird, with a stack of Romaine lettuce to create little boats for your DIY experience, that overwhelmed the presentation. But my first taste of the duck made me think something was off.. It was sour, and not in a lemongrass-y way. The meat tasted like no duck I've ever eaten (& having lived in China for a few years, have eaten a lot of the fuckers). Maybe it was a Skane duck. Or just had a rough life. Anyway, I'm still paying the price a few days later. Don't eat it. Unless you are dieting. The Tom Kai Gai was heavenly, but I had to share it with those who had ordered the duck. Look, I don't know if the chef has lost the plot & given up, or he/she was sick & one of busboys assumed the duties and tried their best. But for that kind of scratch, & in Stureplan, we deserve better. That said, its a good, well-run restaurant. Go for lunch and get the Tom Kai Gai. read more

I had a great lunch here with the CM from Yelp Stockholm. The sushi wasn't that amazing but the noodles where superb. Both the glass noodles as the regular ones. I also tried the fried dumplings and the dip was super tasty. Read all about it on : http://www.strutterview.com/2012/11/14/from-denmark-to-sweden/ read more

East - Asian Fusion Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Really disappointed is all we could say, maybe we came on an off night or should've ordered sushi instead where not much cooking is needed? Duck Tuk Trey- was really excited about this dish and I'm kind of astounded at how bad it was. The sauce first of all is just purely lime or tamarind I'm guessing? SO sour, and then the duck portion was ruined with the same terrible sour sauce, why was that even a thing? Shame. Beef korat- overkill in the seasoning but at least this was edible. The sauce that came with this was more of a marinated, way too salty, and the beef just tasted like it was coated with pepper. Anyways, if you know anything about Asian cuisine do not come here. We expected much more for the price, much less terrible food. At least our waitress was very nice. Will not be coming back. read more

A good spot to sit down for a glass of wine and to sample on their 12 piece sushi plate. Sushi is alright, not as good as your random sushi spot in NY but definitely better than itsu/wasabi sushi in London. We found the place a bit expensive for what they offer. read more

First of all, I'm sad to say there is only 5 stars on here. East would get 100 stars if that was an option. The edamame was to die for. The sushi was honestly the best I've ever had. Then I reached for the stars and took the Japanese IPA and WOW! It was great. Finished the evening with an 18 yr old Japanese whisky that was actually excellent (and I'm a whisky snob) and their chocolate truffle guaranteeing that I have found my new date night restaurant. The staff was professional, nice, and very good to speak with. I cannot wait for next months date night! read more

Great restaurant with a New York Deli bar feel. Total mix up of bars, club, restaurant with pretty good food. Very Expensive but the view is worth every penny. read more

I really adore East's takeaway system. Eating in the bar or restaurant can be kind of crowded. This is one of the few sushi bars worth visiting in this neighborhood and that actually keeps a high standard. I really recommended this to anyone in the mood for a somewhat experimental sushi experience but with clear roots to what it should taste like. read more

Best meal I had while visiting Stockholm. Although I wasn't expecting to find decent Thai food and Japanese food in the same place, I have to say that their som tam salad was as delectable as the sushi. True, their sushi selection isn't the widest, but the quality is pretty solid. Two chopsticks up! read more

Hands down the best sushi place in Stockholm. Good ambiance, good selection of food on the menu, good people watching as well.

This is the first time in my life I have had someone say, "Sorry, bro, you've had too much to drink" at the door, and not let me in. I actually had had nothing at all to drink at that point. The door guy was just being a door guy, but in this case, a jerk. read more

This is also one of my favourite spots in Stockholm both for food and drinks. The Asian themed food is always delicious. Try the tempura sushi.amazing. Service can be good or bad, hit or miss, but hey the food is worth it. read more

Gutes Essen zu einem relative guten Preis für Stockholm. Angenehme Atmosphäre und nette Bedienung. Nice place to be. Good value and nice crowd. read more

The Asian themed food is tasty, but expensive. Creativity on sushi is fun! But it's more about the atmosphere and drinks here. Do not talk to the bouncer though, they aren't much fun :( read more

Overrated! This place is so hyped up by all trendy locals. you pay to hang out w cool people rather than for the food.

If your not Swedish. Don't bother. An African guy who speaks minimal Swedish at the door will tell you to beat it because you are not fluent in Swedish. Have been before and the beers are small and the sushi terrible. Do not waste your time. Worst place on the Stureplan. read more

I rarely have had such original and delicious food, presented with perfect artistic sensibility. The Korean vegetable pancakes were served with a flavor-bursting chili infused sauce and some microgreens - deeply reminiscent of the pancakes we had outside a Buddhist mountain retreat near Seoul 30 years ago. And the Thai beef sashimi was infused with citrus and transcendent flavors that have me yearning to return to East. Great service, lively crowd, fabulous wines and drink choices from around the world. read more
