Gaijin

Gaijin is a restaurant on Vasilyevsky Island offering Pan-Asian cuisine. Guests can experience dishes from various countries in Southeast Asia, including Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam, all in one place.

The name "Gaijin" (外人) is a Japanese word that translates to "foreigner" or "outsider." The restaurant's creators believe this name perfectly suits a place where everyone can discover the cuisines of different countries in Southeast Asia.

The kitchen is managed by three chefs: Yuri Zhuravlev (representing the classic Pan-Asian style), Sergey Tikhonov (focusing on modern trends and innovative interpretations of dishes), and Alexander Skrudulis (bringing a European influence). They each offer a unique perspective on gastronomy. The menu features a wide variety of dishes, with a focus on seafood, rice, and vegetables, as well as rolls, gyoza, poke bowls, pho, ramen, and tom yum soup.
