We don't dine out often, so when we do, it really means something. Dinner at Aska was exactly the kind of extraordinary experience we hope for when we choose to treat ourselves. My husband and I have been feeling a bit of Europe withdrawal lately, and Aska absolutely hit the spot. The ambiance, the precision, and the thoughtful pacing all brought us right back to the kind of refined dining experiences we've missed. The tasting menu was comprehensive and beautifully curated. Each course felt intentional and distinctive, yet the progression never felt overwhelming. While the meal wasn't rushed, it also didn't drag on endlessly -- the pacing struck that perfect balance, allowing us to savor each dish without fatigue. From start to finish, it was an incredible evening and a reminder of why special-occasion dining can be so memorable. read more

4.25 stars. This is assuredly a high end experience that appeared to incorporate numerous influences outside of Aska's Nordic focus. You'll enjoy the minimalistic chic decor, the open kitchen, the excellent service, and of course the food. Let's talk about that last part since you're going to spend a pretty penny if you go here. Like all tasting menus, there will be some variance although certainly there are some dishes that often are the "star" of the proverbial show. I'm not going to mention everything, but here is what stood out: Sea Oak: This is the first item we received, and it kind of looks like a colorful edible twig. There were purple and yellow hues and true to its name it tasted like a fresh dip in the sea. Apparently, they use algae and blue mussels to make this dish. It's fun and creative and a great start to your meal. Caviar: This one looked like a dark cupcake with the base made from kingfish and eel while the top was absolutely overflowing in what was clearly a super high end caviar (certainly memorable at least to me). This was a stunning visual with extraordinary taste. Claw: This dish looks nothing like a claw. Instead, rounded wheels resembling lotus root are flavored with rose and berry. Gently stuffed inside you will find langoustine claw meat. This had really strong Indian flavors and was highly enjoyable. Custard: This was like the Nordic version of chawanmushi except this savory custard was dollops of trout roe, seaweed, and exhibits a strong seafood broth flavor. Hake: This was the best preparation I've ever had of the fish. The sauce is somewhat indescribable to me, and yet what really stood out is the absolute perfect texture of the fish. The restaurant is fairly well know for their hake and it's easy to see why. Quail and Venison: Both of these dishes were well prepared meats that actually served as perfect boats for the incredible mushrooms accompanying both meats. After eating this dish, I could see why Aska is confident enough to boast a full vegetarian tasting menu. Those mushrooms were among the best items of this entire meal. Pear: I really hope they keep this on because this light pear dish accented with cardamom and copious amounts of butter was an absolute delight. Again, the dish exhibited relatively strong Indian flavors and may have been my favorite dish of the entire evening. Why not five stars? At this price point, I would expect every dish to hit and there were a couple that just didn't for me (not too many but a couple). It was probably a bit too seafood heavy for me and I think I prefer omakase if I'm going that route. I will say that the tasting menu, the service, and atmosphere are all wonderful and a worthy overall experience. I'm definitely glad I was able to visit. read more

Celebrated my wedding anniversary and my wife and I were not disappointed. From the moment the reservation was booked, the team at Aska reached out personally. When we walked in were pleasantly greeted by the staff on a cold snowy day. The spacing and ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a romantic evening. The spacing between tables with the view of the kitchen made our night, an intimate one. The staff was beyond attentive. The beverage director, Missy had a tremendous amount of knowledge to accompany each of our dishes. Some bottles we wanted to take a photo of because the uniqueness was something we would want to enjoy again. The food was spectacular! All dishes was beautifully presented by each chef. They explained the unique flavors than encompassed every dish. And the flavor exceeded bounds. I would not have imagined combining certain ingredients to eat. The experience was unique and lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Aska and we are extremely thankful to the whole team who made our night special. read more

I had a 5:00 p.m. reservation for two and had to cancel that morning because of an unexpected emergency. I understand why restaurants have cancellation policies, but emergencies happen. I was charged the full $817, despite giving notice. I accepted that as that part of the policy they previously disclosed, even though it is an extremely harsh policy and disproportionate to any potential loss they would take. What crossed the line for me was when offered to reschedule, I was told I would have to pay an additional $100 per person just to use my $816 as a credit. Charging another $200 simply to move it to another date is excessive and completely unnecessary - total arrogance and nickel and diming. Rules are one thing. Customer service is another. There was no flexibility whatsoever for a legitimate emergency and no effort to work with a potential long term customer. If this is how the restaurant chooses to treat its guests, prospective diners should know before making a reservation. read more

This review is for September 2025. The menu doesnt change too much The courses were good but the stand out the dish was the langoustine. The langoustine was perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and creamy. The scallop dish was the weakest as I couls barely taste the scallop. But it was nice trying flavor combinations that I was not used to. The service was great. read more

KenScale: 8.75/10 Visit: January 2026 Now that my wife Jun and I have lived in the DC metro area since 2021, we have to be very judicious when picking a restaurant to dine at when we visit New York City. In picking the restaurants, we found ourselves prioritizing our old favorites back in our NYC days instead of hot new openings, as we would rather go to a proven place we are familiar with and where we know the chef and the staffs. One such restaurant is Aska where Swedish chef Fredrik Berselius is continuing to deliver excellent New Nordic cuisine. We made every efforts to visit Aska at least once a year (including during the pandemic years), and most recently visited the restaurant last month during a short weekend trip to NYC. We have known chef Fredrik for a while now (in fact, for almost ten years since 2017 when Jun and I braved through the heavy snow to dine at the restaurant), and he warmly greeted us on this visit. My last review of Aska was from 2019, so I figured I would refresh my view at the restaurant this time. I guess I would preface by pointing out that Aska's tasting menu hasn't dramatically changed in the past several years. There is a core of signature dishes that has remained the staple of the restaurant, with a few variations seasonally. We probably might have visited the restaurant a little more often had we known the menu would go through more dramatic changes. That said, the level of execution has also been remarkably consistent over time. We have seen the kohlrabi snack (compressed with the essence of linden leaf oil and linden flower) multiple times already, but on this particular night Jun noticed how impressively crispy the kohlrabi tasted. There were also a couple of new dishes we had not encountered this time, like a rye pancake with vendace roe marinated in lilac vinegar, brown crab and custard of crab brain (seemingly a Scandinavian version of chawanmushi egg custard) and, one of my favorite dishes of the night, a delightful bite of kingfish, Madagascar caviar and smoked eel. The grilled tail of langoustine from Norway with red gooseberry, another longtime stalwart in Aska's menu over the past few years, was as good as we had remembered; I won't hesitate to say this langoustine is probably at least one of my top three in the world, with flawless texture. When it comes to texture, you also can't beat the hake. We have seen slightly different variations of this fish over time, and this time the beautifully plated dish with caviar and sauce made with Swedish dark beer and flowering dill was no less exquisite. My favorite dish of the night was venison with chanterelles and wild herbs. I think restaurants could certainly use more venison in their menus, especially when a restaurant like Aska comes out with this wonderfully tender meat that won't make you miss Wagyu beef. The desserts at Aska also displayed the same level of precision and high execution from the savory dishes. Another new dish of the night, a pre-dessert dish of thinly sliced pear with black cardamom and brown butter quickly won us over, and the main dessert of caramelized whey and milk sorbet was also delightful without overwhelmingly sweet. Getting a reservation at Aska is not as ridiculously difficult as some of the hottest tables in NYC (the restaurant is also open on Sundays these days) so long as you plan a few weeks in advance and are ready to place a deposit of $375 per person up front. The dark, minimalist dining room of the restaurant has always been one of my favorite places to dine with Jun, and the service level at Aska also didn't slip, either. The wine list at Aska continues to be very strong, and this time we enjoyed a bottle of rare Champagne which I couldn't see anywhere on retail in the U.S. to complement the meal quite nicely. In this day and age when star chefs succumb to the temptation of expanding their restaurants empires, chef Fredrik's single operation at Aska seems like an outlier. He didn't seem to have any desire to open another spinoff of Aska, and we really appreciated that consistency and longevity from the restaurant. It's been going strong for close to ten years since moving to the current location following the original days inside a cafe in Williamsburg, and will continue to be a model for a restaurant Jun and I would love to visit again and again. read more

Food was good but not amazing for the price (nyc two Michelin star clearly seems inflated vs other parts of world). Bites were the best part, and the quail entree was also better than expected. But bad bad deal for the money given the zero refund policy and the compulsory 10% service charge on top of a full size tip. For this price, you can 1) fly to Europe 2) eat a Michelin meal (that is more creative and takes more risks) 3) then fly back. Just let that sink in, fam... read more

Really good meal! My favorite dishes were the quail, venison and custard dishes. Carmen, Andrew in FOH were super hospitable. Chefs Isaac, Brian, Namha and Keenan were gracious enough to explain each dish thoroughly. It was a 100 minute tasting for me which was the fastest I've ever experienced. Chill service and nice team. Ambiance is date night with dim lighting with lots of good casual music. read more

What a memorable dinner! The aesthetic is so unique and a bit mysterious but inviting - primarily black with spotlights on the table highlighting dishes, some just felt European. The kitchen is in a corner of the room and I was fortunate to have a table and seating facing the chefs - quiet but hard at work. Despite ample tables and once filled, the noisy level was quite low. Service was by multiple staff - all very nice, respectful and working together like a well-choreographed dance, such as by having silverware placed by one member as soon as the table was cleared by another or wine glass placed then immediately poured by another staff. Food came quite fast and never more than 10 minutes or so between courses. The tasting menu started off with flavor bombs, favorites were the eel caviar, beautifully presented with the caviar and eel contrasting but highlighting each other, and the Vendace. The main courses had a number of savory dishes - seafood and meat. Started off with the legendary langoustine tail, surpassed the hype. Just rich, luscious, sweet, creamy, solid texture and refined. The venison and quail were other delicious meats paired with sauces that worked well and plenty of tender and juice but without as much punch as earlier dishes. The presentations felt artsy but noble though I will say the portion sizes felt small. Finally, the ice cream dessert was solid but the real treats were the pastries after with different kinds of sweetness. The standard wine pairing felt appropriately priced with nice pours and some refills with good choices that contrasted and enhanced. Aska was so deserving of its accolades and will definitely return! read more

We went to Aska for our anniversary, booked by my boyfriend, after reading glowing reviews calling it the best restaurant in Brooklyn and even one of the top Michelin spots in NYC. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for us. The price felt justified for the quality of ingredients used, but not for the execution. Every dish was plated beautifully -- meticulous and artful -- and the pacing was ideal, with courses arriving at a comfortable rhythm. However, while nothing tasted bad, not a single dish delivered that "wow" factor or left a lasting impression. At this level, I expected creativity or flavors that would surprise and stay with us long after the evening ended. Service was professional and polite, and the ambiance was relaxed yet refined. That said, we also noticed a persistent fly problem during the meal, which proved distracting and is not something we would expect in a Michelin-star dining environment. While there were positive aspects, there was no standout dish or moment that made the evening feel truly special. For us, Aska was fine -- but fine is not what warrants its reputation or price point. read more

Food was outstanding. Service was very good too. Atmosphere was nice, not exceptional, but no complaints, and I give some credit here for interesting plates and utensils. I have two very substantial complaints though and a couple of smaller ones. First, we were not served a morsel of food for at least 45 minutes after sitting down, and I don't see any justification for this. We were completely seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time; no drinks were ordered, so that didn't slow things down; though there were a good amount of dietary restrictions in our group, they were all known by the restaurant in advance, and no changes/requests were made night of. This added a substantial amount of time to our dinner, which most of us hadn't planned for--people had to get home to kids and to go to sleep. There was no acknowledgement of this by the servers, and I couldn't think of any explanation that would justify this at such a high end place. My other issue was leaving a little hungry. Spent too much time and too much money to need to go home and have a snack. I didn't need to be stuffed, but I wanted to be full. Probably better for this to be addressed with larger portions--like the salad should have been more than one bite--in some cases rather than more courses. A couple of other complaints: -Bread was very disappointing, both the concept and the execution. I expected more than parker house rolls, and they were only average at that. -La Colombe coffee?! In Williamsburg? Do better. Aside from the coffee, meal ended on a high note. Desserts were great. read more

This was a fantastic tasting menu experience. There were 12-15 courses and maybe 10 of dishes were seafood, and what was surprising was that each one was so different from the others. Each one has different textures, flavors, and composition, and was truly creative. The chefs prep the dishes in an open kitchen and bring it to you, with a story of all of the components. One minor qualm is that each dish was soo small, and by the end I was hoping for a heartier dish. Still, overall fantastic place! read more

This restaurant has been on my list for the longest time and it was absolutely worth the wait! To me, it was a 3 Michelin Star experience and genuinely one of my top meals. My partner surprised me on my birthday with a dinner here and the staff was definitely prepared. Special shout out to Nico who was our sommelier and to the rest of the staff who just took such great care of the restaraunt and their guests. This was a 14 course menu and Nico helped me find a drink I could enjoy. At first, I was hesitant since I am a bit picky and not very knowledgable in drinks but I told him my flavor preferences and he managed to find a drink that matched it and offered me to try it. I was just really impressed by his depth of knowledge and even told us which course to best have it with. This restaurant honeslty blew my mind with their creativity and flavors. I think that it really pushed the boundaries of flavors that I never knew was possible but at the same time, some of them tasted so familiar. I hope they don't find this offensive because I mean this is in the best way possible, but they had this sauce that they were using throughout the menu in various versions, but sometimes it reminded me of McDonalds, and it was so addicting. It's so difficult to choose my favorite dish of the night, there were so many. One of my top dishes was the Caviar dish (king fish, smoked eel, and caviar) and it was one of the appetizers that was wrapped in seaweed I think. The sauce they used for some reason reminded me of a pork floss bun from a Chinese bakery, and specifically the mayo sauce. I wanted to eat it again and experience it all over for the first time again. The chefs also came by to explain the dishes which I thought was really intimate and wonderful. You could really tell how passionate and proud they were and I would get really excited to try every dish. I am also a big seafood lover so the fact that the entire menu was basically seafood did make it even better. There was this pine mushroom dish that fascinated me. It was so beautiful and I honeslty didn't know it was a meat dish. They somehow managed to wrap a quail leg with mushroom. Another top dish for me was their langoustine. Again, that suace they used - just magnificent. I could go on and on about every single dish honestly, but truly it's a one of a kind experience and I plan to return someday. Everything was amazing from the service, the decor, the food, and their garden in the back! I wanted more of everything I had and my partner and I just could not stop raving about the food. They also knew it was my birthday and made a point to wish me birthday wishes and had a little dessert cake for me and I was so happy to have celebrated here. Thank you to all the staff and chefs at Aska! I hope to return soon! read more

A top notch experience and definitely in my top Michelin star meals! We started off at the back "garden" of the restaurant where we had some snacks and welcome champagne. We then moved into the main dining hall which was small but cozy. We saw the head chef as well in the kitchen. If you love seafood, this is definitely the place to go! All the dishes were innovative and fresh, and the wine pairing was excellent with the sommelier even giving us another taste of sake as we talked to her. Would highly recommend trying Aska for a great experience. read more

A very pleasant night of birthday dinner here. Mostly black and minimal interior space, maybe would appreciate a little upgrade for a 2-star restaurant. Would hope there's visibility to the sort-of-open-kitchen to chefs in actions. It was a 13 courses dinner. Mostly very delicious lead to a happy tummy. Each courses was present with the main protein and spoon poured with rich and flavorful sauce created. Trout and Hake and ice cream dessert were slightly underwhelming. Other than that, def worth a try!! read more

Absolutely incredible and very memorable dining experiences. If you're looking for some elegant, special, and fish-y, definitely check out Aska. I came with my partner for a special birthday. We had the 15-course meal and wine pairing. Everything was really beautiful, even a small bite. You will definitely have enough food. Each bite was incredibly satiating, but you were also left wanting a little more. Thank goodness for the additional courses! The vibe is dark, mysterious, and elegant. All of our servers were professional and friendly. I only wish I had been able to hear them when they presented the dishes a little more. The wine pairing is definitely worth it and also very unique - some wines you'd never have discovered otherwise. Strong recommend. read more

Visited for lunch. There are plenty of street parking around. Just need to make sure you are not on cleaning time. There is an electric car charging station ~5 mins walk to south. The place was very modern. Staffs were very kind. Course menu, comes as you eat. They pace the servings depending on how fast you are eating. The foods were really good. Probably one of best fine dining. Although restaurant says Scandinavian, i felt like they are fusion restaurant. All of the ingredients were fresh. Chefs come and explain each dish and also tell me where they were from. Overall, i really enjoyed my visit here. Just one thing.. please dont hang coat on hook.. especially if they are in material that deforms easily like wool.. read more

Aska's TWO Star Michelin Chef Fredrik Berselius Deep in Williamsburg, Brooklyn I had experienced Stockholm-born Chef's take on New Nordic cuisine in an elegantly designed space with an open kitchen. It's in a tasting menu format that had at least three courses highlighting three kinds of top-end and rare caviar. One dish highlighted in-house dry-aged duck, another was the most delicious preparation of game meat I tried, medium rare venison topped topped with morel mushroom. We were served the best parts of specially sourced ocean meats such as langoustine, crab, lobster and scallops that came served with the Chef's myriad of sauces. People who lacks the temperament and appreciation for museums and curated collections will have a hard time understanding experiences like this. read more

4.5 would be more accurate, since not every aspect was magical. But as a Sunday lunch service, I was grateful they were even open. Their dinner service may be just slightly different, but I feel its going to cover the same ground. The amouse bouches were a seaweed chip with mustard, kohlrabi with pickled lingnon flowers, and a shrimp roe looking tart. All of them were delicious and should be savored slowly. The first two don't even have fish in them, but they clearly resonate as fish. The kohlrabi especially played with my sight as it looked and felt like a filet of fish. The scallop wrapped in (don't remember what it was) with a caramelized scallop sauce was quite light, but there was a sense of serenity that followed it. The sauce is the true workhorse that has flavor for days. Overall it felt like a French onion soup, or should I say Fjord onion soup?! The lobster dish take lobster to a while new level (for me at least) the stacking of textures is what really hits home with cascading layers of melting lobster flavor. The oil, curd, and foam all encapsulate the butter poached lobster beautifully, as if I'm eating a full brown chicken inside the proverbial yolk of an egg. The langoustine tail lacquered in a gooseberry glaze with gooseberry jam droplets and head stock evoked something in me that was carnal. The meal had been mostly relaxing, but something about this dish woke my ass up (in a good way). I thought the last lobster dish was amazing. And then this one came in and blew it away! The intense sauce and sweetness of the gooseberries are what really kick this into high gear. The white fish (fluke) with a bring, Bulgarian caviar with a dark swedish ale reduced into a syrup mixed with dill oil. This dish felt like it should have been presented before the lobster dishes for me personally. It was much was toned down compared to the last lobster dish. While the first few bites were unimpressive, the later half of the dish started to stand out more to me. Overall, it grew on my tongue as the sauce built a nice coating on my tongue. Using the briny caviar as a seasoning instead of salt was a great idea! Turbo fish with chamomile, turbo stock sauce with toasted hay, pickled white beets. This also doesn't boom with flavor initially, but grows in intensity like appearing from a foggy marsh. The chamomile and toasted hay combo is genius! Like an ivory and ebony collaboration of this smoke feel. They also cut the beets in this fun way that look like plastic cutouts for a plastic train set. Preserved gooseberry tart with woodruff oil was so damn satisfying. I could have eaten a dozen of these! It may have been one of the best palate cleansers I've had The ice cream was OK, but it didn't pop as much as I would had hoped. But it was still refreshing with how hot it was outside. The three spirit non alcoholic offerings were fantastic! It feels abrasive like a cold wind, but the sweet, botanical aromas swirl around in a delightful carousel of an aftertaste. The nightcap was so good I ended up buying a bottle for myself once I got back home! Service wise was what I would expect from a Michelin establishment. Probably because of my demeanor and keen eye for detail, the service crew felt quite relaxed and casual with me. It helps that most of the servers were near my age and had similar interest in the food and drinks I was consuming. read more

Aska is an in-the-flesh modern day Dorsia - Its overpriced food, overhyped serviced and its just too cool to be hip to be square. At $1 per calorie, expect to pay $2000 for a decent dinner for 2- or you could just donate the money to the NYC soup kitchen, as they could feed hundreds of people for weeks for the same amount. Excess has never been more arrogant. read more

The tarts here/croustades were so good, shells were the perfect texture. scallop, trout, and langoustine were all amazing - sauce on the langoustine dish was superb and the best I've had outside of scandinavia. main entrees, bread, pre dessert and desserts were all fantastic. lovely meal and will be returning hopefully sooner than later. read more

I do not even know how to begin to write a review that will do justice to how outstanding our experience at Aska was. There just aren't words.. I was celebrating my birthday and I received good wishes from every staff member. Nice way to start the evening. Missy and Carmen took care of our every need and explained the wines in great detail. Best wine pairing I have ever experienced. The rest of the staff Emma, Brian, Colby, Isaac, and Juan prepared and delivered each course with precision , detailing every ingredient. I am still in disbelief how extraordinary every course was. One of, if not, the most memorable dinners we ever had. By the end of the evening, we felt like we had made many new friends and were sad to leave. We look forward to a return visit. read more

Service is wonderful and intuitive. Food was very well presented and taste was 9/10. Ambience seems like it shouldn't work but it really does. Black tablecloths make the dishes pop when presented. My only critique is that Aska is essentially a one-visit restaurant. If that's your only trip to Williamsburg, I fully support coming here once. However, the proteins hardly ever change from year to year, even though the preparations might change a little in each season. I would be hooked for good if the team figured out how to celebrate the enormous diversity of proteins in this part of the US throughout the year. They claim it is a celebration of Chef living in NY but with Scandinavian roots. Show us more! Give us something to discover with other main dishes! It's so good, but if the menu stays relatively similar, it doesn't make me want to become a repeat customer. A wonderful meal overall. read more

This spot has serious momentum right now. This represents the highest standard of service. Great food presentation, but the salt level was high. i would rate this restaurant off the charts if possible. I'd recommend this place to anyone who eats out. read more

TLDR: incredible experience, may be my favorite meal yet (Michelin starred) and would 100% recommend. My boyfriend took me to Aska for my birthday on a Friday night at 8:30pm. The restaurant is minimal and dark, with cool black furniture and little accents for decoration. There is an open kitchen surrounded by a higher than waist height wall, where you can kind of see all the action. The place has only a handful of tables so everything is spaced nicely apart and you almost feel like you're watching a private (cooking) show with just a small group of people. SETTING: perfect for a special occasion. I loved the space and how it wasn't overcrowded with tables. FOOD: the food was incredible, and may be one of my favorite meals ever. I can't remember the nuances and details of each dish, but I do know that everything was really unique, flavorful, playful and done to perfection. Most of the savory courses were fish based with one meat dish. VERDICT: I usually am a one and done fine diner, I don't see the need to go back to Michelin starred restaurants but Aska may be the only one that's changed that stance. Even writing this review, my mouth is watering, and I can't wait for the next special occasion to come back. read more
