6 Best Asian Restaurants in Ponta Delgada

“I am not exaggerating here: this has been one of the best or maybe even the best restaurant experience that I’ve ever had. The food was amazing and the service was great. The people serving us were super friendly. Make sure to make a reservation as they seem to be fully booked all the time. Updated from previous review on 2025-10-04“

“Well... let's start :-)
The restaurant with a high score on GMaps stands out for its somewhat different approach to the usual, interpreting the chef's vision of Japanese cuisine. In addition to the traditional menu, there are two tasting options. I opted for "Omakase". The freshness of the fish is not debatable, the taste of the sea, good presentation and adequate service for the chosen option. The 8 "moments" on the menu already include soup (udon) and dessert. The remaining dishes vary. I was expecting more sashimi, but overall the experience was pleasant.
Unfortunately there is no wine pairing option, but they do make some good gin and tonics. Wine list has some variety, there are 3 wine options by the glass (basic whites priced by the glass at the price of the bottle in the store). Gins also have a “high” price.
In short: it is recommended to visit for the freshness and good quality of the fish. Whether or not to try the tasting menus is up to each individual. I personally found that making an individual selection of dishes from the menu allowed you to explore more of the chef's skills and expand the culinary experience.
Enjoy!“

“This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Ponta Delgada. Cozy, great background music, well decorated. But the main reason I go there religiously since 2021 is the food and Leo and Vitor, the sushi chefs. They are great at their craft, and you will be served delicious food in no time. It's not a very big place, so if you are going for dinner it might be better to book a table in advance. Had no trouble so far getting tables for lunch, but then again I almost only go on weekdays. Supremely highly recommended“

“Very pleasant, clean, welcoming and spacious space. It has a wide variety of food suitable for different palates and for those with some dietary restrictions. With the option to choose a buffet or menu. The food is tasty and meets expectations. Reasonable price. The service is very efficient, professional and friendly. A very pleasant experience and one to repeat.“

“You can get without reservations but call first , the service was great the atmosphere, Smooth and relax the food 10/10 Best Taste in Azores and I've been to all the Islands by far , what you see in the images is what we recommend what I ate and I loved it. Seriously it's a must.“

“I love this establishment. I have been taking food both with me and take out ? for many years. The staff varies, but mostly friendly, there is bound to be someone who knows English. A couple of times there were errors in the order, everything was quickly corrected. The food is delicious, and the portions are very large, sometimes 1 can be divided between two people. The only negative for me is that the dishes they use are not always washed well (and it depends on the staff), then the food has a bitter aftertaste of burnt oil, that's why I dislike it?“
