£££-££££ Asian restaurant Cocktail bar

Kasai, which has branches in Visby and Malmö as well as Stockholm, is a Japanese dinner club with an emphasis on social dinners with Asian flavours. In addition to food, which consists of everything from izakaya and modern interpretations of traditional Japanese dishes to grilled dishes and sushi, Kasai also serves expertly blended cocktails in the buzzy cocktail bar.

Kasai, which means fire in Japanese, is on Linnégatan, a stone's throw from Östermalmstorg and Stureplan. Since opening in 2016, the restaurant has been drawing in faithful regulars and tourists alike. This restaurant, cocktail lounge, dinner club and Japanese garden is the realisation of owner Paulo Fagundez's long-held dream and over the years it has expanded to three branches around Sweden. 

Inspiration for Kasai comes from other similar concepts in major cities such as London, New York and Dubai. Serving cocktails and Japanese fusion dishes in stylish surroundings with a lively atmosphere is the order of the day here. The menu consists of everything from sushi and sashimi to Japanese grilled dishes from the robata bar and creative interpretations from the restaurant's izakaya (Japanese food counter). The broad menu includes, for example, baos, bowls, rolls, skewers, fresh fish and fresh vegetables. 

As well being as a flavour-packed gastronomic experience, Kasai is a place for entertainment. The aim is for guests to forget their everyday lives for a while as soon as they walk through the door, whether it's for a family brunch, post-work drink or big night out with friends. Their private dining room, Lotus Room, has space for up to 15 people and you can book and arrange large events and celebrations in the Japanese garden, their lush inner courtyard.  

At Kasai they live for good food, drinks, music, beautiful surroundings and entertainment - and for sharing all this with everyone.

My God what a joke.
The place is neat. The waitresses are cute and sweet.
That ´ 's it.
The show on the ground floor is lame. Mostly because it lasts for 2 minutes otherwise, well the actors are talented-ish.
The food is a brutal insult. Expensive tasting menu where they s...

God sushi och trevlig serviceminded personal men that’s it. Tråkig atmosfär i restaurangen känner inte jättestort behov av att gå hit igen för det är rätt dyrt också.

Tycker att Kasai är ett väldigt coolt ställe men tyvärr tycker jag inte att priset matchar vad man får för pengarna.

I've been to Kasai on three occasions, twice for dinner and once for brunch.
The First time I was with my boyfriend and we sat in the bar where you could see the chefs cook sushi in front of one, which I always think is fun.
The Second time I ate brunch with some friends and it was su...

No, no, no. Kass-aj!
Was at the premiere of the new concept Kyoto, a "cabaret club" that marcus schuterman is behind. I don't have words for how bad and it was all. There were some flowers hanging from the ceiling, and that's it. And if someone had shown me a little fleetingl...

Pleasantly surprised by Kasai after a very successful visit last night! The service was the best I have had in a long time. At first glance at the menu, it looked very expensive, I thought you'd eat 3-4 dishes per person, but we were recommended to share 4 courses (2 pers) and it was perfect an...

Have Long wanted to write a review but never knew how to start?! How Do you describe the Kasai so that someone else will understand the feeling, would say go there!!!
Have been there several times, more than I can count, and will definitely go back the...

Here you are welcomed with a bar right after the entrance and a head waiter to show you to the table. We got a nice table for two at the end of the room towards the "courtyard". It is quite bright here at the beginning of the evening but in the meantime they lowered the lighting which was...

Have had sick fun downstairs on two occasions recently. The clearest thing that strikes you is how unique it is still in Stockholm with an option for dinner and party in one. In a way, it's nothing crazy, but it still stands out in this town that it's going to be exciting. The tasting menu...

WOW!! För några dagar sedan var jag på Kasai med några kompisar, och jag måste säga att jag blev imponerad av deras sushi. Det var riktigt gott, och bitarna var så färska att det kändes som om de precis fångats.

Vi provade några...

Restaurant upstairs. Nice bar hanging on the entrance floor. Restaurant and party downstairs. Unfortunately, they have removed the large dance floor, where diners now sit and eat, as well as a large high table where they run some short shows during the evening. Open up the dance floor again, and the...

Jag besökte nyligen Kasai och var positivt överraskad av hur trevligt det var där. Sushin var helt enkelt underbar, med perfekt balans mellan smaker och en färska som var svår att överträffa. Jag älskade särskilt deras specialrullar, som hade en unik och...

Jag blir lugn av att komma in på Kasai.
Den mörka inredningen med höstfärgade detaljer gör verkligen något för ögonen och jag trivs direkt.

Personalen är väldigt social och härlig, svarar gärna på frågor och ä...

Great food, great drinks-but still the feeling that it is too expensive for what you get. Requires many small dishes to be measured and it quickly pulls away in price. In a way, worth a visit-but maybe there are other, more affordable restaurants that keep a little higher level for these prices!...

Wow! Jag besökte Kasai förra veckan och jag kan inte sluta tänka på hur fantastisk deras sushi var! Det var definitivt en av de bästa sushiställena jag har varit på. Jag gillade verkligen variationen av rätter på menyn, och det var tydligt att de lagt...

I've only eaten here at Christmas. Took a more spontaneous hit for their Christmas dinner. Called and asked if they had a table for 2 and they could arrange that.

The Christmas table was in an outdoor place where they built so you can sit with heating elements. so it felt like indoors...

Was here for brunch and have to say I was a little disappointed. The room is nice and the staff are nice but the food is not a wow factor on.
It was an ordinary sushi coffee and nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't cheap either.

Stället är snyggt, servitriserna gulliga, rara, glada och de förtjänade 6 stjärnor. Men maten var lite tråkigt och vi fick 'we have seen it all' känslan.
Desserten får 5 stjärnor, och cocktails också. Allting annat är bara medi...

So far have only tested the parts of the broad concept, and by that I had the pleasure to try, I am more than satisfied.

Think of the design as a whole, but because I only tried the food so far, I choose to focus there. The dishes are quite magical, and I really appreciate the care in the c...

Kasai delivered well above expectation for me. Nice room, great service and really good food. Best of what I ate was savoykålen.
