Small but mighty, what an amazing gem of a restaurant in a off-the-beaten path location. TLDR recap: delicious sushi and very fresh! Terrific cooked items. During a short one week trip to Portugal I came here to eat a second time after trying it for lunch.

This is a small mom and pop hole-in-the wall kinda place with no frills but a heart of gold, focused (pun intended) on serving quality sushi and Japanese/Asian fare. I came after reading positive feedback from prior customers and I wasn’t disappointed.

Sushi, yakitori skewers, noodles—all delicious and worth every penny and more. You can see the experience, care and attention to detail in every dish. What an unexpected delight in the noodles. They really reminded me of the taste and quality of noodle dishes served at high-end Chinese banquets for weddings. Needless to say, we really enjoyed them.

Second time we came for dinner and arrived waay too early before dinner hours but the owner was kind enough to let us know he would open 30 min early for us. Oops we decided to come back 15 minutes before they opened instead.

Want to take a moment here and add that we had a chance to chat briefly with the chef and son who do it all at this restaurant. We learned about the chef’s extensive background in the restaurant industry how his passion for creating an excellent sushi dining experience drives his attention to all the details like temperature, thickness, and cutting grain of the fish. Their menu is dedicated to serving a key types of fish, he really puts in the effort to make sure the customer's eating experience is optimal. Even as covid really challenged their business, being such a small operation they work hard each day to keep it going, all with a welcoming attitude and a modest, humble demeanor. I hope more customers can come try out this spot, it's such a diamond...

The four of us from San Francisco Bay Area where there are numerous Japanese restaurants were blown away by the quality and authenticity of the sushi and sashimi Chef Wang made for us. His 20+ years of rigorous training and sushi chef experience both in Lisbon and previously Paris made his restaurant stand out.

Though small and newly opened, we tasted every bit of excellency that will bring him much success. Being such a modest person, he simply described his sushi making as “with passion, knife (that represents the highest skill and technique), and heart”. We enjoyed so much of our meal (a platter of mixed sashimi, a platter of sushi as shown in the photo, and an order of tempura shrimp) with great indulgence. Chef Wang’s knowledge of and attention to every ingredient that ends up on his plate is impressive, such as the water portion adjusted to rice depending on which season and region it’s harvested; the best season for various fishes and shellfishes in terms of their texture changes, etc…

Had to add 40% gratuity to the unbelievably inexpensive bill to justify the gap between the quality and cost. Chef Wang deserves every penny, and much more!

VERY highly recommend this restaurant and Chef Wang! We’ll definitely revisit whenever we...
