50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Ermesinde

“I usually use take away, and I've become an aficionado, as everything is good, from the starters to the suchi and we haven't had a single dish that wasn't good, everything is fresh and an experience on the palate. The staff are the right ones, the staff are top notch, the chef José is a good example of a master suchi, and the staff are attentive and devoted to their customers!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Parking: Here's the small problem, during the day you have to take it easy, at dinner it's always easier, sometimes with luck or a little further away, like 300 at the fair in the worst case scenario!!“

“I often visit this restaurant with my family for all the reasons:
• The space is refined and peaceful;
• The employees work hard to communicate in the best way possible and serve customers with great care;
• Everything is extremely well seasoned and well decorated;
• Anyone who understands sushi at all understands that ALL the ingredients are fresh, the seaweed is crunchy, the fried items are hot;
• Great food for those who don't like sushi - I recommend the chicken breading, xau xau rice, vegetable crepes and samosas;
• In general, the price is really fair because this space offers a quality that is difficult to achieve in another space, for the same price.

I definitely recommend it! ??“

“Great meal and very warm people, including the chef. As a solo traveler, it sometimes feels awkward to go into a restaurant alone, but everyone was super warm and welcoming, and the food & sake were DELICIOUS. I loved the Karaage, Agedashi Tofu, Squid, and Wakame salad. The restaurant filled up very quickly, and I had a great time here ?“

“Great place! The food is very very tasty and special, the service is amazing and the atmosphere is fun. I highly recommend it to all sushi lovers ✌?

Vegetarian options: There are a variety of options for vegetarians and vegans

Wheelchair accessibility: My husband had surgery and had crutches. Easy entrance. The restaurant is on the ground floor without stairs“

“The overall experience is ok, but there's a lot to improve. After going to similar restaurants (i.e. Omakase Ri in Lisbon) or even comparing it with real Izakayas in Japan, I have to confess they have a lot to do in terms of receiving guest, turning the meal into an experience, keep the environment (sushimans talk loudly to the costumers they are serving at a specific moment) and maintain food rounds in a carrousel of flavours that starts smooth and end up blowing minds. I find the 65euros menu price acceptable, but probably i would get out hangry if they wouldn't had served bread along with the last course before desert - furthermore, at the initial approach in the restaurant they talk a lot about such a bread, elevating the expectations, but it end ups being a bit of a disapointment. I also have to say their kind of Izakaya was overall really good as they manage quite well the "spicy" and "salty" flavours that are not so common in Japanese cousine. Congrats for the innovation but please revise house rules and guest service. Cheers“

“We all love Sushi, super fresh and simply delicious. Everything at Musaxi is delicious, from the sushi, to the mushrooms, breaded prawns and bacon... Everything.
It is in an easily accessible area of ​​Porto (Areosa). Without a doubt, I recommend it.“

“One of the best, most delicious sushi restaurants I’ve had globally. Located in a quiet part of the city, we were the only ones dining there at 7:30PM on a weeknight. We shared the 30 piece sushi and veggie gyozas. Affordable for the high quality sushi.“

“We had dinner at Subenshi do Porto, on the first floor. The service was extraordinary. I made a mistake when ordering and, when I realized it, the staff were extremely attentive and understanding. Very good quality and delicious sushi. They have, without a doubt, won my preference!“

“Cozy atmosphere with excellent service. The place also surprised me with its flavor!!! Everything very fresh, beautiful and well prepared. Impeccable service!!! It’s impossible to say which dish is best given so much explosion of flavor. To improve what was already excellent, there is value: a very fair price. I highly recommend it!!!“

“Best Sushi in the North of Portugal!The Poke's and Hot Rolls are the best I've ever had.The Niguiris and Temakis, which were already wonderful, are now even tastier!Congratulations to those responsible ??Thank you for the magnificent experience! I highly recommend it!“

“Das Tokkotai ist ein sehr schickes Restaurant mit sehr aufmerksamem Personal. Das Gebäude ist in einem leicht unterirdischem Gewölbe und sehr stimmig eingerichtet. Das Essen ist wirklich sehr gut und sogar mein Cocktail war aussergewöhlich gut. Ein schönes Erlebnis, wenn man sich etwas gönnen möchte und den leicht höheren Preis total wert.“

“Spectacular!!!!

One of the best places I've ever been for ? sushi.
Very well decorated space, very light and clean.

Parking: Parking inside the space with plenty of spaces

Kid-friendliness: It has the pasta and the cooked pieces.

“

“We had the tasting menu, which was 23.90 pp. The sushi was nice, but the food came way too fast after the course before. Because of that you can’t eat that much. We also got tamaki at first, which was a little big and our first and second plate of sushi were exactly the same. The staff was nice, but I don’t think it’s worth it. It’s better to order sushi rolls by yourself or the restaurant should bring some sushi by two pieces pp at the time, not a whole plate.“

“Food was DELICIOUS here. We had the all you can eat and we are pretty spoiled with good all you can eat sushi in Toronto but this might be even better (and definitely cheaper).

We are big sushi lovers and were very impressed. The fish and rice were definitely fresh and flavourful. The service was very efficient and the hours are great (open until 11pm). Definitely recommend :)“

“My family and I have passed by this restaurant several times. It always appeared to be doing a lively business so we decided to give it a try. We all enjoy sushi so we were looking forward to the visit. The restaurant had received good ratings and our experience confirms those good ratings. The food was very good. The sushi was well prepared. The nigiri were also well prepared. Our favorite was the dragon roll. But quite frankly, everything was very good. The fish was fresh and tasty. The rice was prepared well and not overly clumpy. And the prices were much less than one would expect get in the quality and quantity of the food.“

“I stopped by Two Sushi in Porto for dinner a while ago and tried their Chirashi. Overall, I’d give the food 7.8/10:
- Rice: 8.5/10: Nice amount of vinegar
- Tuna: 8.3/10: Decent pieces
- Salmon: 6.5/10: Wasn’t that fresh
- Butterfish: 7.5: Okay
- Ikura: 8/10: Typical fish roe
- Snapper: 8.3/10: Crunchy“

“We didn't know about it and we got a reservation with very little notice: a resounding success. Contained portions but with a lot of flavor, originality and personality. The boy who attended us, friendly and explanatory, advised us very well. A rude, noisy Spanish couple with three children spoiled our evening, but the locals knew how to manage it well, thank you for that and we apologize on behalf of the Spanish people. We will be back.

Kid-friendliness: In such an intimate environment, it's best to leave the kids at home.“

“I have ordered a couple of times, their food is incredible... The kanaage chicken is superb.

Called one time to ask what should I order, and the lady who spoke to me advised the drunken chicken noodles, and I can tell you it was delicious.

Have not gone to the restaurant "yet" , but I would bet its 2x better than delivery.

Very good job, Take a Break, can't wait to dine in!!!“

“A great experience... perfect service, pleasant, smiling and warm staff. A soft and cozy atmosphere with just perceptible music that transports you. A comfortable, discreet space.
As for the menu, sushi, sashimi... desserts (treat yourself), a delight, each bite, a real pleasure for the taste buds☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ what a joy to still find places where everything is grant and where we leave enchanted. We will return there before we leave.
I definitely recommend a place to go to have a good time ?“

The divine desserts
Staff efficiency is 5☆
Sympathy, we don't even talk about it, love, worried about knowing if everything is going well and if we need something.
Without a doubt a place to visit more often“

The space becomes pleasant and peaceful, allowing us to talk, as it has a more welcoming atmosphere.
The food is simply divine and the chef's suggestion was surprising.
I went there today for the first time and I loved it!“

“Nestled in a quiet side street in Porto's Bonfim area, Izakaya Japanese Cuisine Restaurant is a hidden gem you might easily overlook if you’re not searching for it. Despite its unassuming location, this intimate establishment is well worth seeking out for its unique take on Japanese cuisine. With only about a dozen seats, including a cozy sushi bar, Izakaya offers a personalized dining experience where chef Rúben Mesquita frequently engages with patrons as he crafts each dish.

The atmosphere is casual and intimate, with a mix of international guests and local couples seated at the sushi bar during our visit. Reservations are a must, as we learned a few years ago when we tried to drop in spontaneously and were politely turned away due to the restaurant’s limited seating. After finally booking a spot well in advance, we received thoughtful reminders leading up to our dining date. On the day of, the chef or manager even called to inquire about dietary restrictions, a gesture we appreciated, given my wife’s aversion to raw seafood.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly without the need for introductions. The service, although attentive and knowledgeable, is understandably paced, given that only two staff members manage the entire operation. The menu, which varies daily based on ingredient availability, was meticulously explained to us, as was the thoughtfully curated wine list.

Our culinary adventure began with a delightful chef’s treat: a ball of diced raw tuna coated with dried seaweed, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a thoughtful touch, though I found it curious they served it to my wife, given her preference for cooked dishes. The remainder of our meal was presented in courses, highlighting the chef’s modern interpretations of Japanese classics.

We started with shrimp tempura which was expertly prepared. I indulged in a selection of sashimi and Kobe beef nigiri, while my wife opted for the Okonomiyaki. One of the highlights was the soy sauce, imported directly from Japan, and the fresh wasabi, grated tableside—a rare treat even in Japan.

While I relished each dish, the pacing might be a consideration for those with dietary preferences, as my wife found herself waiting as I savored the raw delicacies. However, this also allowed us to appreciate the exceptional wines paired with our meal. The Quinta de Ceis, Caracol dos Profetas, and the intriguingly dry Respiro Ciarete blend were all selected to complement the subtle flavors of the Japanese cuisine.

For those new to Japanese food, Izakaya is a culinary treasure, offering detailed explanations of each dish that serve as an educational experience. However, seasoned travelers or those familiar with authentic Japanese dining may find the chef’s creative interpretations less traditional. Regardless, the combination of excellent food, engaging service, and carefully chosen wines makes Izakaya a memorable destination.

With its charming atmosphere and unique culinary offerings, Izakaya earns a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The restaurant provides an intriguing glimpse into Japanese cuisine, with a special emphasis on presentation and flavor that will surely delight both novices and aficionados alike. Do remember to bring a bit of patience for the personalized service—it is well worth the wait.“

“Very good atmosphere, wonderful food, one of the best sushi I've ever had on all the trips I've been on, the waiters Igor and Bruno are wonderful, the sangria is beyond words, very good notes for everything you deliver, thank you and see you soon!“

“I already knew Bushido, it was my first time playing Golf. Perfectly delicious sushi, with fusion pieces, which I don't usually enjoy, surprisingly delicious too.
The staff are very kind. Irrepressible!
The decor is very interesting, although I like the other one better, more suitable for a family lunch or dinner.

Vegetarian options: Vegetable Gyosas, but there were other

Parking: Many or few places depends a lot on the time and day. These are places with metered parking, so if you go during a working day and time you have to pay.“

“Best traditional sushi restaurant in the Maia area and surroundings.Adequate price.We tried some dishes:Oysters - 2/5 too small to serve.Takoyaki - 4/5well made and good presentationFish tartar - 5/5good presentation and good flavorMakimono - 5/5I strongly advise it but I believe it variesSashimi 10pc - 4/5 good quality but very small cutCombo 10pc - 4.5/5All parts were goodExcellent surprise in a restaurant in Maia since practically everything is only available in Porto.Repeating.For those who prefer Moriwase, Fusion is an excellent choice in addition to the ease of parking and away from confusion.A little lack of attention and presence in the room.“

“A good surprise with this restaurant found by chance at the exit of Porto. A modern and pleasant setting, perfect service. Each sushi is an explosion of flavors in the mouth and of extreme finesse. Thanks to the team for this great discovery. Looking forward to returning to Porto to renew this experience.“

“One of the best price/quality daily menus I've seen, amazing environment and view of downtown Porto. Service is impeccable. They also have very good sushi which is hard to find in a place that can perform both styles of food. Top notch!One of the best menus of the day and with a great price/quality ratio and with a view of the city of Porto. Excellent service. Sushi is not far behind, being an excellent option for connoisseurs.“

“Food was great, we had the lunch menu, the quality of the fish in all courses was star level. The wine was also great, the acidity matched, but it was too dry for the fish. The service was nice, but not courteous, the menu included green tea and since I had wine with lunch, I was not informed about it or offered water instead. The tip that was sold to me as a tax was also on the credit card.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good, I recommend good presentation and above all good quality... Try it, you won't regret the wide variety of flavors that you can enjoy... You can also sit at the counter and enjoy how all this variety of fish is made.(Original)Muito bom, recomendo boa apresentação e acima de tudo boa qualidade... Toca a experimentar não se vão arrepender grande variedade de sabores que podem desfrutar...Podem também sentar ao balcão e apreciar como se confecciona toda esta variedade de peixe.????“

“I thought the price was ok, each tray costs €9 if you order it for delivery, there is a €5 surcharge.
Drinks I found a little expensive, I don't know if it's normal here, but I paid €2 for a 500ml bottle of water
. The service is excellent.“

“For the first time, we placed an order for home delivery, through the website, which in my opinion works very well, is very well done.
Good quality sushi and very good service.
There was an item missing from our order, which we complained about and they were promptly available to make the trip again to deliver what was missing.

Will be repeating, for sure.“

“Not everything was perfect. the service was somewhat slow. However, there lies the reason for this note, as the way they reacted to this and talked to us showed how they deal with possible problems and revealed absolutely exemplary service and leadership.
Excellent food, perfect views and atmosphere and a truly exemplary service, the kind that makes us say it should be like this everywhere, made our dinner a memorable night, certainly one to repeat soon.

Mandatory visit“

“Very good quality/price ratio, I had already eaten take away several times, and decided to try eating the sushi in the restaurant as described, which they serve at lunch time, I must say that it did not disappoint, from the salmon temaki, to the sushi, passing by the spicy shrimp, which was on point. I recommend!

Vegetarian options: It has several types of vegetables, with different types of preparation and sauces.

Parking: Parking provided in the surrounding streets.

Wheelchair accessibility: As the restaurant is located on the ground floor, it is accessible by wheelchair.“

“Very good sushi and to make it more affordable, maybe ordering the mix would be better.
We chose our pieces and it ended up being quite expensive, but there are other more affordable options.
We really like this place and they are very friendly.
Thank you for serving us.“

“In this place, you can try the most delicious sushi of your life) We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and presentation of the food in the establishment. We even ordered a second time, although the first was enough! Incredibly delicious! I recommend ordering the sushi set! It is great! A unique place!“

“Good quality at a price that I consider very affordable. Very friendly service. I particularly liked the attention we received from the staff focused on the well-being of my two children, as anyone who is a parent knows what dining out with young children can cost.“

“We were going to another restaurant on the same street and we happened to pass in front of One Piece and our son was dying to go in. What a pleasant surprise! Wonderful service! But especially the food, very well made, fresh, very tasty!! Congratulations! Maintain the quality!“

“We went for dinner and everything was EXQUISITE, in addition to having very good service, they were very attentive. We were traveling with a baby carriage and they tried to accommodate us in the best place with the help of getting the car up and down. Without a doubt we will repeat.“

“Restaurant recommended by a co-worker! Without a doubt an excellent option for eating all you can eat sushi with very good quality! Affordable prices and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely to be repeated. Thank you and continue with the good service provided.

Parking: There is a residential area around which you can try to park without paying. There is parking on the street in front, but you have to pay.

Kid-friendliness: Very large space.“

“By far the best all you can eat restaurant I’ve ever dined in. You order a la carte from sashimi to tempura and it is all exceptional. I am not exaggerating when I say the quality is on par with most sushi places in London except it is 25% of the price. We ate here on a Wednesday night and it was 22 EUR a person… stop reading this review and book a table!“

“It was incredible! The dishes are of exceptional quality! Each tasting is a whirlwind of flavors that burst in the mouth! And the service is top notch! I thank the boy and girl who mainly served us (the others were great too)! They were so kind that I will not forget! We were able to have a bottle of perfectly warm milk for our baby! They were so adorable with our children! And the final bouquet with the digestives! Just thank you for us and for our children! Really ! I'm from France and they have a restaurant in Paris! Well, I will go!!!! ♥️“

“(Translated by Google) One of the best sushi I've ever had, fresh products, great flavor and not expensive. I ordered it today through Uber eats, 30 minutes before the establishment closes, and it was super fast to deliver. Quality price 5 stars. There is only one drawback, which is that it was impossible to contact the establishment. As it was the first time that he had ordered and the delivery was made by the descent itself, it was not possible to track the courier. So I wanted to get in touch with the establishment to see if the order was on its way or not, but it was impossible. In the app when I clicked to call, the number was 93, I called and it was off, Google showed an 808, called and it was unavailable. Finally I went to the site and wanted two 22 numbers, one of them was unavailable or the other called, but no one answered. Other than that I have nothing bad to say.(Original)Um dos melhores sushis que já comi, produtos frescos, ótimo sabor e nada caro. Mandei vir hoje pelo Uber eats, 30 minutos antes do esbelicimento fechar, e foi super rápido a entregar. Qualidade preço 5 estrelas. Só tem um senão, que é ter sido impossível contactar o estabelecimento. Como era a primeira vez que pedia e a entrega era feita pelo próprio esbalicimento, não dava para para rastrear o estafeta. Então quiz entrar em contacto com estabelecimento para saber se aparecia se o pedido estava a caminho ou não, contudo foi um impossível. Na app quando clicava para ligar, o número era um 93, liguei e estava desligado, no Google aparecia um 808, ligava e dava como indisponível. Finalmente fui ao site e apeteceu dois números 22, um deles dava indisponível ou outro chamava, mas, ninguém antendia. Fora isso não tenho nada a dizer de mal“

“Perfect! My favourite takeaway sushi restaurant in Oporto! The food is amazing and never disappoints! They are always super kind with the customers.“

“We found this restaurant by doing a quick search because there was nothing near the Arrábida bridge... We were surprised by this restaurant! We had gyoza and omelette as a starter then ramen, everything was excellent as well as the welcome and the service. In short, you have to go there if you want to eat good Japanese in Porto.“

“Two beautiful people serving. They were kind, friendly, gentle... Even though we didn't speak the same language and didn't always understand each other, they knew how to put us at ease and met all our expectations. The restaurant is small, quaint, but very pretty! The sushi was excellent, and we ate until our bellies were full. Really great place with great people. Go for it without hesitation! Obrigado ❤️‍?“

“This is a self-service restaurant run by Chinese people in Portugal. You have to arrive early on weekends. I arrived at 1:30 and had to wait for 20 minutes. The food tastes good, the salmon sashimi is very fresh, there are sushi, teppanyaki, cooked food and fruit desserts. At two o'clock, some dishes (watermelon and salmon sashimi) were no longer available, but the service was very good. After telling the staff, they had them freshly cut and served immediately. The quality of the pork belly was good, and the quality of the shrimp was average, not bad but not very elastic either. But overall the price/performance ratio is very good! At noon on Sunday, it costs 38 euros for two people + two bottles of drinks, but it is a bit far from the city, so a round-trip taxi costs about 20 euros.“

“This restaurant deserves a maximum rating on every point. I was treated by my better half the day before my birthday, with this trip to Grand' Honra after work day and what a great surprise! Top service, very friendly from those who served us and the chefs too. We were entitled to some treats from the chef, and I would say it was the first time we had experienced this type of service. Top food, very tasty and the quality and freshness of the ingredients can be seen, it is quite noticeable. We ordered the house specialty and I can say that we were well advised. Despite not being a central location, the Faria Guimarães metro is at the door and it takes 5 minutes on foot to Trindade. It's worth trying this restaurant and we will definitely come back, even if it's for lunch during the work day to try the daily menus :)“
