Legit Japanese food in Baku. If you’re in Baku and craving authentic Japanese food, check out Seto. I walked into this restaurant never expected to be pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the cooked food served here. I didn’t order any sushi so I can’t comment on that. They don’t have a ton of options on the menu and that can often be a good sign that they are good are what they do. I ordered a few dishes on two separate visits, karaage, beef croquet, teppanyaki salmon as well as chicken, and even cold soba. The karaage was below average but the other dishes were pretty good, way above what I’d expected. The wait staff were courteous and efficient and cleanliness was top notch. I’d dine there again if I was in town again.
