Ogaya — Restaurant in Lisbon

The interior and the exterior of the restaurant are the first nice thing you notice about this place. The polite and efficient service from Sui and Zhao is the second good thing. (They speak Portuguese and Chinese and no English, so use English to Chinese google translator liberally if you need help.) They have a generous buffet on weekends that is priced at under €17 per head. Which you could call the third good thing. The vegetarian sushi and the tempura prawns are the good items on a pretty vast menu. I'm not very pro raw fish so some of the fishy sushi didn't work for me.

I've also ordered the delivery from them. The takeaway is different from the dine-in menu... 6€ per dish and minimum 12€ to deliver. But we always have leftovers with one noodle dish and one other dish.

I keep going back because it's a place with a high quality to...

Edit 2025: the staff changed. Food now is bad, atmosphere is bad, waiter do not speak English, portions are smaller, and mostly rice. Quality of fish is lower. I would not eat there again if I would not see the previous staff.

The most amazing sushi place in Lisbon. The owners are amazing, polite, friendly and caring. The food is fresh, tasty, simple and prepared with care. They have amazing jasmine tea, wonderful desserts, and what is the most important great sushi. The only one I found in all you can eat places here, without giant amounts of mayonnaise and other weird fillers. Simple and really tasty. And the prices are just great! We have been in Ogaya multiple times, and we always...
