Samurai Belém — Restaurant in Lisbon

Ok. Just visited for the buffet in the evening. We're used to many different cuisine, having travelled and eaten authentic home made & home cooked dishes, so you know where we are coming from. Here's our feelings...

1. Miso soup. Was ok but a bit weird tasting - not really a good Miso.
2. Grelhado (grilled) items (shrimp, beef, chicken, salmon) not good frankly - these were actually fried in lots of oil - go easy on this as more than one dish will give you a sickly feeling.
3. Sashimi - this was ok. Had octopus, tuna and it was clean and reasonable in taste.
4. Vegetables - literally drowning in oil. At least 5mm at the bottom of the dish and still each vegetable was dripping when picked up.
5. Niguiri - was alright but a sauce drizzled over it that ruined the taste. Sushi is supposed to be a clean taste so that you can put your own sauce on. Not preloaded with sauce.
6. Mushrooms - again a weird sauce taste

To Chef/Owner - respectfully, grilled means cooked without oil using the natural oil in the food. And if you are going to use any oil it should be just a wipe of brush or tissue of oil round the griddle, certainly not dripping in it or laying in it. Vegetables should taste of vegetables and not oil. You would save money if you cooked this way and improve the quality of what you serve to your customers.

Overall a disappointing experience compared to what it...

This sushi buffet offers incredible value for money! The prices are very reasonable, allowing you to indulge in delicious sushi without worrying about the cost. Every dish is incredibly fresh, especially the sashimi and sushi, which taste like they’ve just been caught from the sea. The service is also top-notch—staff are friendly, attentive, and always greet you with a smile, making you feel right at home. Whether you're gathering with friends or having a family meal, this place is an excellent choice. Highly...

Overall experience was ok. But I do think some of the bad experience was due to having an event close by and there were just too many people. Even so this was my experience: The sushi wasn't great, too much chewy rice and the fish didn't feel like it was fresh The cooked meals were really good I recommend. The gyosas are really good! The staff are really kind even in an under...
