About the Vibe
IMA Sthlm is the kind of neighborhood spot Sjöstad locals quietly rely on — a relaxed Japanese–South American fusion restaurant that doesn't try to be anything more than good food at a fair price. Everything is MSC/ASC certified, which is genuinely rare for a casual sushi menu in Stockholm, and the Korean fried chicken with black rice is the dish you'll keep coming back for. Skip it if you want white-tablecloth service; come if you want a quick, honest dinner that actually tastes like someone cares.
Why it's worth it
MSC/ASC-certified sushi and a killer Korean fried chicken with black rice make this Sjöstad spot a neighborhood favorite worth knowing.

Honest fusion that earns its neighborhood-favorite status
IMA Sthlm has carved out a real niche in Sjöstad by blending Japanese and South American influences without overcomplicating things. The sushi is fresh, and you can tell they care about sourcing — everything is MSC/ASC certified, which is genuinely unusual to see on a casual menu in Stockholm. The Korean fried chicken with black rice is the standout if you want something bold and spicy; it's the dish that keeps regulars coming back. Service is friendly and efficient, which makes it ideal for a quick sit-down dinner or a takeout order on your way home from work.
It's not a fancy spot, and honestly that's part of its charm. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern — more neighborhood favorite than tourist attraction. If you're looking for a reliable meal without breaking the bank or waiting forever, this fits the bill perfectly. Just don't expect white-tablecloth service. This is about good food, good value, and keeping it simple, and IMA does that consistently well.
