Gaijin is a mixture of Asian kitchens executed with finesse. Although it's not a budget restaurant , the price-quality ratio is well balanced. Definitely book a table, they're very popular! Read more

The vegetarian tasting menu is ok. The highlight was the sweet potato gyoza and nice mixture of flavours for the Tofu tomato salad , GTST. Nice atmosphere, and relaxing. Good place for drinks.

Maria

Gaijin tasting menu is the must! Ask for cocktails that go well with it. Korean food lovers, don't expect getting bossam , because apparently it's samgyeopsal. But no worries, it is still perfect :)

Delicious food, relaxed and professional service and great cocktails . Try the Shibuya cocktail ! Absolutely among the best fine dining restaurants and cocktail bars in Helsinki.

Tiina Rajasalo

Excellent food, book a table and come hungry for the tasting menu ! Don't forget to try the cocktails , too. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable .

Jean Philippe BERTANI

Very good. Nice staff . A bit pricey but it is with it. If you don't like mayonnaise mention it when you order as the chef love to put some in a lot of his dishes

Jacopo Chiapparino

Are here twice and had two wonderful experiences. The food is modern Asian and then vibe is great. A bit noisy but the quality of the food especially of the seafood easily will make your evening!

The food is delicious. The waiters will always tell you stories about what's in your plate. The wine is great too. Try the Prosecco - it surprised me.

Nick Smith

Probably one of the best Asian fusion restaurants in Helsinki, though they tend to change the menu very often so your favourite dish may not be available again. Service is occasionally hit and miss.

Shy Cardoso

On Sunday they have a different menu, please try this crab . just amazing!!

Leif Ytterstad

This place needs no stars at all, just keep it a secret between your loyal friends and enjoy every moment ! Truly a wonderful place for food and great drinks, BM is superb! Thanks a lot and see you !

Anna

Excellent tasting menu ! A little pricy concidering they use very chep ingredients but delicious food anyways.

Carla Eid

The grilled shrimps with ginger , chilli and garlic sauce score very very high. Great vibe in the place as well . Dim Sums are a must try. Really liking the Korean Japanese n Chinese mix of dishes.

Ilari Lundqvist

The tasting menus are very good. Drink selection for the menu is not a must, if you prefer just a glass or two the place has some very good wines to choose from.

Manuel Ferland

Very good food. Probably one of the best asiatic in this city . But take care if you take a la carte menu, they will order all at the same time, full the table with dishes and you will eat cold!!!

Juho Autio

Best tastes of the world in one place. Too hard to decide what to order. I mostly come for the excellent rice , though :) Big up for the sake selection !

I had a pescatarian variant of the menu. It was delicious, but the vegetarian variant my friends had looked even better!

Sarp Erkaya

Tasting menu is so good! Fun, trendy spot with beautiful people 🍾

DimSums are excellent! And this is one of those rare places you can get those. Nice that you get food also in Terrace / full menu available.

Kristin Swan

Gaijin menu. Surprised to see Pork Belly twice on a single tasting menu . Good food and service but overpriced.

Øyvind Markussen

Excelant Asian fusion . Great, relaxed atmosphere in the heart of Helsinki. Dim Sums are a must!

Katri

I wasn't impressed because the food was more of a fusion than typical Japanese cuisine. It's an interesting place if you haven't been to Japan.

Daniel Woodward

Visit during Movember. You'll find the finest moustache in town behind the bar . And yes, excellent food.

Lauri Laakso

Japan-Korean-Fusion food, while not awesome, tasting menu was great.

Henriette

Very nice! A little light on veg/vegan options, but they made me a lovely custom dessert when I asked what they could do.

Katarina 🙊

Very cosy and beautiful place. Excellent food and service, 5/5!

tianyun sun

Obaid Al Nuaimi

Highly recommended amazing food

Julien De Santis-Caron

Beware that when you order a la carte instead of the tasting's menu, you get all the dishes at the same time, except deserts . The restaurant is quite noisy . Despite those, food is rather excellent

Holger Eilhard

Amazing food all around!

Miika Puputti

Great food!! Nice asian tastes. Go for the Menu Gaijin worth the money.

Mikko Kangasaho

The vegetarian tasting menu can be made vegan . Excellent food and nice atmosphere.
