One of Stockholm’s most popular sushi restaurants
It feels great and meaningful to offer Stockholm’s healthy, fresh and affordable Asian food, says Tumenzaya Rydlund, one of two sisters who owns Saya Sushi. Our sushi is not served with big rice lumps, it is the topping that is the most important, like a big piece of salmon or avocado, she continues. Usually it’s any of the two sisters Tumenzaya or Tuvshinzaya that you find behind the pay desk. And yes, you may call them both Zaya.
Tumenzaya, who comes from Mongolia, has also brought a piece of the Mongolian food tradition to her kitchen at Östermalm – dumplings. The small dough packages is a mix of the best from Mongolia and the Chinese cuisine from which dumplings originate. We cook them by hand, unlike many other restaurants in town.
“Superb sushi and friendly staff. Sometimes they do the little extra at no extra cost, for example; seares a couple of pieces or decorates with seaweed, mayonnaise etc. Then I find Saya Sushi in the same class as East and Berns but for a much better price! ”

Menu Lunchmenu Catering“I always get the 12-piece sushi which has avocado, salmon, shrimp and maki. It’s so good and the salmon is so fresh that it melts in your mouth. Tasty sushi for a nice price 🙂 ”

I love the Swedish nature and to sew clothes. Sushi is a favourite dish both for me and my daughters – especially with seared salmon. What I like more with Sweden? Bregott (margarine) – that’s something that we all here at the restaurant loves!
