Like A Local GuideOctober 22, 2013Gaijin 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
CatAugust 29, 2014The 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.
MariaAugust 8, 2014Gaijin 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 :)
Hannele AJuly 12, 2015Delicious 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 RajasaloAugust 23, 2015Excellent 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 BERTANIJuly 25, 2015Very 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
olga zeroAugust 19, 2014The 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.
Jacopo ChiapparinoAugust 30, 2014Are 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!
On Sunday they have a different menu, please try this crab. just amazing!!
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.
AnnaJanuary 7, 2016Excellent tasting menu! A little pricy concidering they use very chep ingredients but delicious food anyways.
산나February 25, 2012Can honestly say one of the best foods Ive ever had.Their drinks are also very interesting.Staff is really friendly.Try the menu and have a blast,never mind the acoustics!!!!Thnx for the best BDay ^^
Manuel FerlandOctober 31, 2011Very 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!!!
Carla EidDecember 7, 2011The 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 LundqvistSeptember 26, 2013The 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.
Katariina K.October 8, 2013excellent food! the lunch menu was amazing and now I know how the real, fresh and EXCELLENT food tastes like!
Juho AutioJanuary 16, 2014Best 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!
Jeff MelnykMay 16, 2015Really enjoyed this. Great cocktails, such delicious food - and super smart service. Recommended!
Leif YtterstadJanuary 20, 2012This 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 !
Food good, service can vary a lot from unprofessional to very good.
Kjartan Þór ÞórðarsonJune 8, 2015A perfect blend of Japanese, Korean and Chinese cousin. Highlights where pork buns and beef tartar! Highly recommended!
Claes BuckwalterOctober 13, 2017I had a pescatarian variant of the menu. It was delicious, but the vegetarian variant my friends had looked even better!
OlFebruary 14, 2014This is a place for the food enthusiastics! Absolutely beautiful and delicious food! #gaijin @tomibjörck #foodie #ruoka #helsinki
- Ami HasanNovember 26, 2014Gourmet fusion Asian, sake and other drinks by celebrity chef Tomi Björk, who also owns Boulevard Social and Bronda.
Leah SchallerMay 6, 2015One of the best meals of my life! Tapas all the way. Get everything and share it all. Cocktails were great as well
Kristin SwanDecember 27, 2015Gaijin menu. Surprised to see Pork Belly twice on a single tasting menu. Good food and service but overpriced.
HenrietteAugust 16, 2012Very nice! A little light on veg/vegan options, but they made me a lovely custom dessert when I asked what they could do.
Juan LlanezaMay 2, 2012Scallops and baby pig ribs are amazing, try them! Food is just delicious in gaijin. Best asian in town without any question!
Kirsikka LarJuly 19, 2011DimSums 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.
Øyvind MarkussenApril 4, 2013Excelant Asian fusion. Great, relaxed atmosphere in the heart of Helsinki. Dim Sums are a must!
KatriSeptember 15, 2016I 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.
Visit during Movember. You'll find the finest moustache in town behind the bar. And yes, excellent food.
Julien De Santis-CaronNovember 1, 2011Beware 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
Delfin VassalloOctober 5, 2012Definitely the 9-course menu is worth. Watch out butterfish still moves on your dish, no joking
Mikko KangasahoSeptember 8, 2012The vegetarian tasting menu can be made vegan. Excellent food and nice atmosphere.
Vernon GoOctober 26, 2011This is a must try for foodies in Helsinki. Do the full on tasting with drinks
Mathias LindholmJune 17, 2011Excellent food, great atmosphere and superb music. Where else can you have a 9-course menu while listening to Arcade Fire?
