    The Tom Kai Gai. Heavenly!
    Adam L.

    I had dinner here with friends the other night, my second time here. My first visit was a few months ago for lunch, when I had only the Tom Kai Gai (which was, and is, delicious). After my dinner, though, my feelings for East dropped to...meh. The restaurant itself is well designed, well lit, accommodating, and efficient. We were sat immediately by the friendly, smiling hostess, who walked us through a busy, vibey joint to a nice corner table. Our friendly server immediately took our drinks order, and was back almost as fast. The menu is comprehensive, the dishes having some flair (on paper), and a nice wine list with quite a few 'by-the-glass' choices. I ordered the Tempura Roll2 & Tom Kai Gai, with my dinner companions ordering the duck, sashimi platter, and dumplings. Its when the food arrived that my heart sank. My Tom Kai Gai was the most attractive (& most delicious), but everything else struck me as "phoning it in", & tasted like it. My tempura rolls were good, though the giant bowl of spicy mayonnaise sauce tasted like it came from a jar, and the seaweed wrapper did not taste fresh. The sashimi: slapped on a plate, with a giant nest of some inedible crap in the middle to fill a big round plate. It was ok at best; the dumplings: weird tasting, on a thick sauce that none of us could identify, none liked, but all agreed had a hint of miso (it was like peas blended to mush, but didn't taste like peas. In fact, it tasted like nothing, with a hint of Miso); the duck: the presentation was weird, with a stack of Romaine lettuce to create little boats for your DIY experience, that overwhelmed the presentation. But my first taste of the duck made me think something was off.. It was sour, and not in a lemongrass-y way. The meat tasted like no duck I've ever eaten (& having lived in China for a few years, have eaten a lot of the fuckers). Maybe it was a Skane duck. Or just had a rough life. Anyway, I'm still paying the price a few days later. Don't eat it. Unless you are dieting. The Tom Kai Gai was heavenly, but I had to share it with those who had ordered the duck. Look, I don't know if the chef has lost the plot & given up, or he/she was sick & one of busboys assumed the duties and tried their best. But for that kind of scratch, & in Stureplan, we deserve better. That said, its a good, well-run restaurant. Go for lunch and get the Tom Kai Gai.

    I had a great lunch here with the CM from Yelp Stockholm. The sushi wasn't that amazing but the noodles where superb. Both the glass noodles as the regular ones. I also tried the fried dumplings and the dip was super tasty. Read all about it on : http://www.strutterview.com/2012/11/14/from-denmark-to-sweden/

    First of all, I'm sad to say there is only 5 stars on here. East would get 100 stars if that was an option. The edamame was to die for. The sushi was honestly the best I've ever had. Then I reached for the stars and took the Japanese IPA and WOW! It was great. Finished the evening with an 18 yr old Japanese whisky that was actually excellent (and I'm a whisky snob) and their chocolate truffle guaranteeing that I have found my new date night restaurant. The staff was professional, nice, and very good to speak with. I cannot wait for next months date night!

    Hands down the best sushi place in Stockholm. Good ambiance, good selection of food on the menu, good people watching as well.

This is an upscale venue where you first have to get into Sturecompagniet and then pass the ropes to the right just as you enter the doors of it. If you are not one of the regulars, know somebody that knows somebody or are on the guestlist, you will have a hard time to get in. But once you manage to get in, you will be one of the few selected ppl that can party in an upscale venue with Stureplans elite squad and possibly Swedish celebrities. The venue itself isnt huge, but with the outside patio it will provide you with enough room to have a drink and shake your ass if you are down for that. Music is latest EDM and pop and will be provided to you in a great mix the whole night. Get in, have a great night, and leave with a smile on your face, i doubt you will regret it...

It has just been newly remodeled in a futuristic way, which gives an even fancier impression of the place. The room comprehends a DJ booth, a bar, a couple of tables for bottle service and a small dancefloor in the middle. To get inside the ropes, you gotta be on the list or know somebody that knows somebody, or think you know somebody that knows somebody. But you can always "just" reserve a table to get your space in this trendy room. Cause there is no doubt about what keeps this place going, the bottles are everywhere and keeps coming all night. Crowd here is mixed ages, where young girls tend to mingle with elder men, often with bottles. Music is not good, its great and the sound system is one of a kind. You can really get your beats going here, but dont go crazy on the d-floor, you arent supposed to since its a classier place. I like the place, the music and the fact that ppl are here to party, not to "just have a beer". So if you wanna have a good time and can stand the fact that we all live in a very superficial world, this might be the place for you.

He said we needed to be on the guest list three days in advance. I asked him if that was really true and he just let us in after asking what the youngest age in our group was. I think I convinced him by giving him a stern look! There is a coat/bag check area to the left upon entering and a dance floor directly to the right. I kept my junk with me because I don't trust anyone. Anyway, coat/bag check should be free and mandatory for security purposes. I wasn't frisked and my purse wasn't checked either. I ain't packing heat though. There are a good amount of bars and getting a drink doesn't take forever. A tiny Coke cost me 50 SEK. Not too bad, but don't the non alcohol drinkers get kudos for making sure everyone is safe?! Downstairs was music I've never heard before. Upstairs was more of the same. House and dance. I really don't do dance clubs. But, I found a room, directly up the stairs, that played R&B and hip hop. Needless to say, that was where we stayed. The room cleared once the DJ started playing Arabic music that not many liked. It was nice for the immigrants to have something from back home to listen to. Everyone's song gets played! All in all, this place isn't too bad!

Once in a blue moon it is very fun to have a big night out, drinking and dancing with friends - and this was a great place to do just that. With a big enough group and a table, you feel like you can breathe, move around freely and enjoy the night. The music was very "pop" which was fun for dancing and singing along.... who doesn't like a little Riri in their life :) I could not imagine coming here with just a girlfriend and braving the dance floor area - then I would probably be giving 2 stars - as you can barely walk through the masses, I'm sure it must take an hour to order a drink and I would certainly feel old - as I could probably be the mother of some of the young kids here...

The drinks were decent at a very "decent" price (ie it's…read moreexpensive of course -- you're in östermalm) but there's no entrance fee or people making you wait to get in so that's always nice. The music was terrible! This girl/guy combo spinning just the least interesting crap. Both me and my friend tried to request something and the guy just kind of shook his head and played dumb (I'm pretty sure he had Spotify open on his laptop and I was showing him a song on Spotify...). The crowd was weird. Mostly older 35-40 sprinkled with a few younger people. I kind of wondered what they and we were doing there. Okay let me clarify, the crowd wasn't weird because of the age but rather something felt wrong about the social situation in the room. The setup inside is interesting, with a sort of stage and tiered seating for looking out on the "crowd" (the "dance floor" / "mixing-area" is pretty small, in fact it's a very small little alcove in the back of a restaurant). My friends kept saying it was a nice place to see people dressed up, but I just saw girls with big, ugly watches and guys with large laptop briefcases at their feet (at 12am on a Friday night) otherwise wearing nothing too interesting. No one looked particularly classy, chic, bussiness pro, or even dapper cool -- except us, of course ^^ I would come back here because I have a feeling it was an off-night in terms of experience but I wouldn't recommend going here as I experienced it. I'm not saying definitely do NOT go here. But I can't give it my recommendation at this moment in time.

All my friends had a good time. Drinks are standard Stureplan prices I guess. Everyone was looking great, standard for the area I suppose. It's loud of course but you can talk around the main bar without screaming and you can always go outside where there is another bar and chat up that crowd much more easily. I really have nothing bad to say about this place. I thought it was a fantastic club with a bright and happy staff and we all had a great night here. I will definitely come back
