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.

IMA Sthlm s'est imposé comme une adresse fiable à Sjöstad en proposant un mélange surprenant mais réussi de saveurs japonaises et sud-américaines, sans tomber dans l'excès. Les sushis sont frais et tout est certifié MSC/ASC — une démarche qualité qu'on voit rarement sur une carte de ce genre à Stockholm. Le poulet frit coréen avec riz noir est la vraie pépite de la carte : relevé, audacieux, c'est le plat qui fait revenir les habitués. Le service est convivial et efficace, parfait pour un dîner rapide sur place ou un emporter en rentrant du travail.
C'est un endroit détendu, sans chichis, qui a l'air d'être un favori du quartier plutôt qu'une attraction touristique. L'ambiance est moderne et chaleureuse. Si vous cherchez un repas délicieux sans vous ruiner ni attendre des heures, c'est un excellent choix. Ne vous attendez pas à un service de restaurant étoilé — ici, on mise sur la qualité, le bon rapport qualité-prix et la simplicité. Et ça marche.
