Goyo-Ya — Local services in Lisbon

It's a small but well stocked japanese grocery store. If you're looking for ingredients to make sushi, real japanese noodles or curry, miso soup, etc, you will find it here. You can also buy sauces and spices, tools, pans, steamers, chopsticks, ceramics... pretty much everything you'll need to cook and serve japanese delicacies.

There's also a nice beverage selection, from sake and other liqueurs or wines, beers, soft-drinks and teas, and a neat section of japanese sweets and desserts. It's very hard to leave the store with your hands empty.

Because it's located in a rather busy are, can be a little hard to find...

Has basic Japanese items, but some are very over priced, even considering the import taxes etc, and goods are not supplied consistently. The store lady, Katiana, who was super friendly and helpful, is no longer working. Other staff don’t even greet when the costumer is coming or leaving, making us feel unwelcome. I feel embarrassed and ashamed, because this is not representing Japan, where I’m from.

EDIT: It’s been a few weeks since my initial review. Thanks for the explanation. I also now see the improvement with the customer service...

I was saddened by dinner.

The traditional ramen had 1 piece of meat. The takeaway curry arrived 1st w/out meat. When asked, cold cooked pieces were thrown in - not mixed in the sauce and I'm not sure it was the chicken that was promised. It felt careless. I had to pay 4.50 eur for an edamame starter, which had no crispness.

Taste was fine. Portions small and not satisfying. Attendee was friendly....
