Asian cuisine restaurants Helsinki

Street food inspiration from the streets of Hanoi, Bangkok and New Delhi for this cheap and trendy little restaurant. The interior is sober and modern, but Twisted may well be one of the best Asian restaurants in the capital! The value for money is perfect, excellent lunch for a small fee. Visually, the plates make you salivate, and when you taste them, you are convinced: the flavours are perfect. Among other things, you can enjoy an absolutely divine Massamam chicken curry, accompanied by a bowl of rice. We recommend!

The charm of a Nepalese restaurant, from the decor to the plates. Offering a subtly spicy cuisine that gently awakens the palate, this good little address is mostly frequented by locals, proof of a deservedly effective word-of-mouth. On the menu, vegetarian, chicken, meat or fish dishes with rice, sweet sauces and a delicious naan. All this, with several choices of spice levels to suit everyone. The portions are absolutely gigantic and the service is charming.

A little out of the center of town (but very accessible, like all of Helsinki), Kiku86 seems to have become the reference address in the capital for those who simply love sushi! There are no unpleasant surprises here: everything is made with the freshest fish, and the ritual know-how is reflected in the plate. The menu offers beautiful makis and bowls that are a little less traditional, but just as nourishing.

The second restaurant of the famous Tomi Björck's team, the Finnish Cyril Lignac. Here, North Asian cuisine is celebrated, a mix of dishes inspired by Japan, Korea and North China, with a contemporary twist. Same spirit and same price as Farang, for a delicious journey of the senses. The lunch menu changes weekly and is regularly updated on their website. There is also a tasting menu strongly and deliciously inspired by Japanese cuisine. A little expensive, but delicious. Nice wine list.

For those who love Asian food and in particular Thai food, this is one of the best restaurants in town! Lemon Grass is a small Thai restaurant with delicious and cheap dishes. It has a neighborhood restaurant atmosphere, which makes it a very popular place for locals and it's always busy. From the food to the service, everything is perfect and the quality/price ratio is very good. Be careful though, the restaurant is rather small, so think of coming early or making a reservation if you don't want to wait a bit.

Dishes from all over Southeast Asia revisited in a contemporary way by the team of renowned chef Tomi Björck (the equivalent of Finland's Cyril Lignac). The result is delicious for both the eyes and the taste buds. The setting is cosy and simple. The bill is a little steep, but the meal is up to the task! A truly astonishing, spicy and epicurean culinary experience, especially if you try the Dégustation menu, which offers a veritable voyage between sashimi, grilled shrimp and other absolutely marvelous curried squash!
