I did really like how quick the meal was - all over and done with in essentially 90 minutes. Also appreciated the no-fuss casual setting, and the chefs all had humor. Now getting to the food - the courses were very small and most were just okay. We left not full which to me is an issue for a Michelin rated restaurant. The skill sets were also not entirely there for a supposed top notch sushi restaurant. Several of our sushi pieces had rice falling apart from the mold, which is a huge no no. If you are very versed in sushi would not recommend this. However, if you are new to a mikae, this could be a good experience.

The reviews on this place seem all over the place. But for me, I thought it was very good. As of…read morethe time of this review, Sushi Sho still holds its Michelin star. Coming from NYC, I have access to superb sushi, so when when my friends wanted to come here I have to admit I was not overly eager using a meal in Sweden that I thought I could get back home. However, I am totally glad I came! The omakase was excellent. Appreciated that Chef Ishizaki is still the main person behind the bar and assembling most of the nigiri and dishes. There are plates/dishes mixed in, so not just sushi pieces. The cured egg yolk was fabulous. Wonderful sake list, and you can opt for a pairing if you like. At the end you can add on extras (notably otoro, which is not part of the regular omakase) - it was great, as they prepared it three different ways. A very decadent way to end the meal. Majority of seats are at the bar, but they have one elevated table along the window with a view of the restaurant (kind of like stadium seating). We actually sat here, and loved it. There's more room, next to the window, but still relatively close to the sushi counter. We had a dedicated server who was absolutely fabulous. Reservations are needed.

The place is quite small and there was a lot of smell from deep frying in the kitchen, therefore we…read moredecided to do take away. I give this place a vague 3 stars because I found the rice undercooked. The tempura sushi tasted almost like french fries and was very greasy. The 13 pieces order had several nigiri that were fantastic while others weren't. However the combination of truffle and fish is to me a mystery.

Can not recommend the bimbimbap. Very salty but not much else. No egg! Like what?! A lot of lettuce…read moreand rice, very large but just totally unexciting. Like another reviewer, I was surprised that this place isn't better since their other restaurant Itamae Izakaya is wonderful. I was served by a nice cheerful waitress though so that gives it a star. But other than the location, nothing is memorable here. It's also very loud. Could be any fast food place, with no attention to detail.

I still can't believe this place. Having rated Itamae Izakaya as one of the best sushi joints…read morearound I assumed that Itamae Sushi was of the same calibre but man was I in for a surprise. I'm not sure if it was a one time thing but I have never, like ever, eaten that bad sushi (and by eat I mean try to eat as I just could finish it) and that is saying a lot. As an avid sushi enthusiast I have tried a lot of places (and lived in Japan for 2 years so I do have a reference point) but this place sure set an all time low. As that wasn't enough the staff was unhelpful and just not very nice. I would recommend avoiding this place (especially since Itamae Izakaya, which is awesome, is just down the road), but if you decide to go it is sure to broaden your definition of sushi. ;)

Best sushi in town!…read more The creations this place puts on the table is worth a visit alone, the sushi is fantastic and service excellent. Summertime they have a nice outdoor service, wintertime better go for takeaway since seats are limited to say at least. The possibility to get a glass of wine or a nice beer with your sushi just makes this place perfect.

Beautiful, delicious, fresh sushi. Visually appealing. Some of the best I've ever had.read more

Well... This is the first review after a long, long pause in this department!…read more We've heard so much about this place for a long time, from our friends and some websites online. One special thing, and the very specific thing that our friends have been boasting about is the sushi boat. Yes, you read right. While having sushi delivered on bands is pretty popular and is considered normal, here in Stockholm you don't find many places like that. So imagine how excited I was when I came there and saw the table that looked like a boat, surrounded by individual chairs and inside the boat was a "river" where sushi-filled boats float around. So there we were, we had bought a coupon online to get 30 pieces of sushi for approximately half the price we would've paid otherwise. When we came in, no one was there, but that's because we came at a really odd time, 5 pm. As other people start leaving work for dinner, we sit there enjoying the boats to ourselves. The sushi chef made everything fresh for us. We got the normal maki sushi, the salmon nigiri, shrimp and tuna. After a couple of the extraordinary, ordinary sushi bites, she asked whether we'd like to try anything so we told her to give us her best shot. Out flowing were bites of sushi with octopus, followed by scallop and the Californian roll. Everything looked so delicate and put together. I ordered the green tea together with the sushi and it was wonderful. It was served in a heavy tea pot and I kept pouring the tea into my cup during the course of the meal but by the end of it I still had some left that I couldn't possibly finish. In the end, my fiancé and I left the restaurant very full, almost rolling as we cruised down the street, and very happy for the service and for all the excellent food. I'd come back here even though I didn't have a a coupon for the sushi.

Perhaps not the most inspired Asian restaurant (a very common theme in Stockholm), Kin-Maru still…read morehas a couple dishes that make it so we really hope they stick around! For one, my wife just can't get enough of the mango salmon sushi. It may sound a little odd, but it's amazing. You can get either rolls or sashimi-style. It's not a true sashimi, as the salmon is slightly grilled, but that doesn't stop it from being delicious. They are also one of the very few Asian restaurants to do a respectable ramen. The flavors aren't exactly spot on (for any ramen aficionados), but it's still very delicious and wonderfully hardy. Perfect for winter! And last, but not least, we were quite surprised at the flavors of some of their side dishes like the salads and dumpling. Pleasantly surprised by the chicken dumplings, which had a healthy amount a ginger (a personal favorite). Again, not necessarily amazingly authentic, but seriously tasty. We really hope to see this restaurant stick around - we will be back often!

Unsurprisingly, the dining room is not at the caliber of the downstairs personal omokase. Still very good: the grilled eel (unagu) was excellent, with a sweet sauce and rice that reminded me of my time in Japan many years ago. But my dining companions said that the chirashi was just ok, with under-vinegared rice. And side dishes were odd, like avocado and kimchi.

As I was going to eat at home, I ordered the 14 (?) bits sushi and a whole set of California rolls... With this order, they thought it was for 2, so they gave me 2 soups (Cool!!! miso soup is never enough)... After a missed bus, I got home... I prepared my dinner table (laptop desk) and got ready to watch a movie with my sushi... After finishing 2 soups, I open the take-away boxes......... OMG!!!! This is food for 4 people!!! huge portions! I mean, not chunks of sushi, just big nice sushi food! lots of fish... proportional.... It may not be 100% pleasing for the eye, but my stomach was well happy after all that food! Will eventually return... I still like the ones close to home better, but I have nothing bad to point out here...
