I recently had the pleasure of dining at a remarkable restaurant that exceeded all expectations. As a Swede, I found the ingredients familiar, yet their creative and subtle twists elevated the dishes in the most delightful way. The wine pairing was exceptional, perfectly complementing each course and enhancing the overall experience. In comparison to MASA, another top restaurant I visited during this trip, this establishment offered better value for money. Of course you cant compare the two, but ASKA stood out. I wish I could come back to this place again!! Thank you Chef Fredrik + an amazing team! PS the chef's wife's playlist added to our experience. 10/10!!

Everyone from the time we walked in, until the time we were leaving was attentive and had great customer service. The shrimp loaf sandwich was awesome. I would like to go back and try the oysters. We tried a few side that I didn't care for but the 25 lunch special was a good deal.
