Maru — Restaurant in Stockholm

I travel with my gf from Helsinki to Stockholm. This is kind of bad experience for me. The food is normal but the service is extremely bad. 2 employees, but the employee with the glass is very rude, another one without glass is ok. When I come I asked her very polite we order in the cashier or in table when I first come? She talked very rude to me that we will not take order from table and give me a lot of attitude and she had no patience for me at all when i tried to translate the menu, continue give me attitude like I did something wrong even that time no one behind me, only me and my gf, she talked with me like she shouted at me. And when I choose the food she just again bad attitude and said this one cheaper on Friday, I am not that poor to choose other dish for price, I come for good food. During time she talked with me she not even look at me and just look other way even she did not have any tasks to do, I am not sure this is normal in Sweeden or Japan or any places in the world, I expect the mutual respect because I talked with her very politely. Later some other customers not Japanese come she also gave them the same attitude like me, except one Japanese guys come she talked very polite and happy and even sit talked with him in his table. Another western couple came and received same bad service like me and their face are not happy too. Later in the end I saw her put a dirty bucket of water to the water tank for customer to drink which is bad hygiene. Is this the way the restaurant to treat customer who not speak Japanese as a discrimination? I do not want to give bad review but this experience is really bad for me. Not sure she is owner or not but not recommend you come to this restaurant if you do not...

I visited this place a long time ago (2019 June). I had quite a humiliating experience I must write here. I was not 100% it was this shop at that time. I visited Stockholm recently again and confirmed it was this shop.

Below is what happened. I order a sushi plate and a Japanese male chef prepared the food. I am from Korea, and the chef apparently did not like the Korean president at that time. So he basically cursed my country as he prepared the sushi. "Are you from Korea?" "Yes I am." "I think South Korea will become RED KOREA soon." This is one of the extreme political rhetorics used when criticizing the Korean left-wing party. And, he used it on his customer in the first conversation after ordering the food. It was so unexpectedly offensive that I was confused and did not really respond.

When he brought the food, I noticed that he used plain rice without vinegar to make the sushi. I am not sure about Japanese food standard in Sweden, but this is a joke in other non-Japan countries I have been to. If he is doing that to all the customers, he should not call it sushi. If he did it to me only, he...

TLDR: Not worth my money, and will not come back. :)

I had lunch with my friends there today. I ordered 2 meals from the lunch menu (one for dine in, one for take away). I tried to speak Swedish and English, the staffs mostly struggled to understand what I'm saying. Good thing I have my Japanese friend with me, so she translated into Japanese for me.

I asked if they can wait to cook the takeaway and they said just tell them when I want the takeaway to be cooked. But then they came with my takeaway anyway not long after they deliver my dine-in meal.

During my visit, they're basically unfriendly. The lunch menu costs around 150 sek. For a meal that cost that much, locale that needs renovation and cleaner utensils, and unfriendly staffs—I'd say, "there are other better place that worth 150 sek for a lunch in...
