We ordered eight dishes for dinner. Grilled Iberico. It was amazing. Perfectly charred around the edges and very tender. The salsa dip was refreshing and it has a depth of subtle flavors. Foie gras. Melts in your mouth. The shredded cabbage has a very fresh and interesting taste. Love the combination. The only complaint I have is that the toast was a little bit too greasy to my taste, but my husband loves this dish very much. Rice. Perfectly cooked sushi rice. Went really well with the other dishes. Also good on its own. Sugar snaps. I enjoyed it. My husband did not think it was spectacular. guacamasshu. The rice paper is kind of cool. Crunchy and airy. But I think the seasoning was way too salty. We think our homemade guacamole is actually better. Turbot taco. Balanced and mild flavors. Fresh and high quality ingredients. It was good but a bit too plain to our taste. Steamed vegetables. Fresh and good selection of vegetables, steamed to perfection. But I think the sauce is a bit too fattily creamy. I personally would prefer a clear sauce with more refreshing flavor. Duck Gyoza. We were disappointed with one. It did not taste like duck and the meat was on the dry side. The dipping sauce is on the salty side.
Overall we were happy with the dinner. The staff who took care of our orders was very attentive and friendly. He explained each dish when they were served. We expected long waits between dishes but they were served very quickly in groups of two or three. Though the portions were small for each dish, we were both surprisingly...
Read moreWe visited Misshumasshu again tonight, after almost a year. It used to be one of our favorite restaurants in Stockholm. They had been closed for some time (we're not sure why), so we were really looking forward to returning. Once again, we ordered the Omakase menu, just like we did on our first visit.
Back then, the experience was fantastic: generous portions, high-quality dishes, and outstanding service. This time, however, we were quite disappointed, especially considering that the price has increased by nearly 300 SEK per person.
We were four people and ordered four Omakase menus. To our surprise, we received almost the same amount of food as we did a year ago when we were only two. The menu included 2 tartars, 1 small salad, 4 shrimps with asparagus, 8 small dumplings, and one larger dish (fried squid with pork belly and kimchi), all to share between four people. We each received one scoop of ice cream for dessert. While everything tasted great and was nicely prepared, the quantity simply didn’t match the price or the number of guests.
To be clear, the food was delicious, the ingredients were of good quality, and the staff was friendly and professional. But for what we paid, the overall value was very disappointing, and we left feeling unsatisfied. It’s the first time we've had this kind of experience in Stockholm when it comes to portion size and pricing.
For now, we won’t be returning, but we genuinely hope the restaurant finds a better balance in the future, so we can one day return and enjoy it again as much as we did on our...
Read moreWe came by for lunch on a weekend. Our seating was in the gallerian walkway under a sea of beautifully lit orange bulbs and koinobori (carp flags).
Our last visit was a few years ago and this restaurant has improved while retaining its signature Japanese fusion theme.
Serving was prompt and the food did not take long to arrive.
OUR MEAL: 🔸️ Garlic butter fried red shell prawns, onion, coriander, breadcrumbs, ponzu 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This side dish delights with its savoury sauce that has a light hint of yuzu tanginesss. The red Argentinian prawns were firm and sweet. The breadcrumbs when soaked with the sauce was a clever touch that added a crunchy bite.
🔸️ Tonkatsu pork schnitzel, rice, mayo, coriander, kimchi, togarashi, lime 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Generous bowl of steamed rice, topped with chopped kimchi and breaded pork fillet. The flavour of the tonkatsu was good, cripsy on the outside and tender, fresh meat on the inside.
It was a little dry on its own but the mayo helped.
🔸️ Crunchy turbot “Tonkatsu style”, kimchi, soy mayo, coriander and lime 😪 A relatively small serving of a medium cut of turbot on a bed of kimchi. Tonkatsu style didn't work to bring out the dish. The fish was bland and dry. As the meat of this fish is also firm, the style of cooking- breading, deep frying and serving it with mostly kimchi was unappetising. Given it's high price at 345 SEK, it is not a dish I would...
