Saya Sushi - Östermalmstorg — Restaurant in Stockholm

Ordered delivery through Foodora from this place since my usual sushi restaurant was closed during Easter weekend and there weren’t many options available in the Foodora app. After seeing the Google review score I didn’t hesitate.

First of all the so called tuna is likely not authentic tuna. The color and texture is off and the taste is lacking compared to the tuna I usually eat at other restaurants. Since there’s a widespread cheating in the market with tuna and other more exclusive types of fish, I can’t disregard that possibility.

They also thought it was a good idea to use very unripe avocados with a nice crunchy bite to it in the rolls and poke bowl. Tasteless and crunchy avocado is hard to mistake for properly ripe ones. I would guess that it is a case of carelessness or maybe lack of alternatives.

I am quite suprised to see the high review score here, and it makes me wonder wether the people that have scored it high have low standards or if the restaurant has has had a turn to the worse since those high scores were posted. In either case, I would turn to other places in the same price category for my sushi fix if I were you. This place is not worth a second...

I visited this place several times and was always satisfied. I can definitely recommend to take their “Dragon sushi”, it has blanked filling, so you can try various tastes. Very fresh and delicious! Cozy place and service ranges from great to fine (depending on who will work the day you visit).

Good to know in advance: You should know that the place is very small, just 4 tables and no possibility to book in advance. They have no toilet, so it’s not a place to sit...

Just one word: amazing. Big rolls, lovely flavours, really good toppings, fair price. The fish quality looked medium-high and it was well balanced with the rice. The place is small like most of the sushi restaurants in Stockholm, so give it a call to make sure there is a free table for you. The personal is very kind and the service fast. Best sushi I had in...
