Rakuya Restaurante Japonês( Sushi bar) — Restaurant in Porto

very nice place where you can enjoy Chinese/japonese food for a cheap price for the Chinese pasta and 3 vegtable crepes 4.30€ by the way this dish does not exists in menu, originally it had one pork crepe but they replaced it for me which was super nice of them! so you got a cheap vegetarian meal here but you have to ask. When the food came it wasn't too oily which I sometimes notice in Chinese restaurants. as for the sushi I can't say much because I didn't order it, but from what I could see from the menu their preference is to make the type of rolls with salmon. So for that kind of rolls the price is pretty low, around 7-8€. The waitress was also nice. And they serve quickly. the atmosphere is okay, in the inside it has simple design, nothing special so it would be great if they made it better in...

We had the all you can eat buffet on July 8th, 2023, around 8:30 pm.

On the second round of ordering, we found a live bug on the sashimi we ordered, crawling. We let the waitress know, and after observing the bug, she took the plate back to the kitchen.

We were hungry and ready to order more, but after seeing the bug we lost appetite for the night. I suppose things like this could happen.

But what got me to write this review is because there was no sign from the waitress or the manager to make up for what happened. Not even a single apology. We ended up paying for full price only after eating two servings at an “all you can eat” place, not even hearing a single word of an apology or “sorry that this happened.” Best skip this place if you don’t want...

This was our second time in Porto—and our second visit to Rakuya. We really enjoyed our first lunch here; it was a spontaneous find and pleasantly surprising. Unfortunately, our second experience didn’t live up to the first. The restaurant smelled strongly of bleach when we sat down, which immediately affected the overall atmosphere and enjoyment.

The food was just okay—nothing particularly memorable—and given the price, it didn’t feel like good value. I also wish there were more sashimi options on the dinner menu. A lot of the dishes seemed heavy on rice, which fills you up quickly. That might be a common tactic in all-you-can-eat sushi places, but it definitely takes away from the overall quality...
