Restaurante Japonês - BURI — Restaurant in Porto

First and foremost I must commend the staff on their friendliness: extremely helpful with all the questions we had, gave recommendations on foods and drinks, were prompt when we asked them for something (e.g. extra ginger), and even served some extra Port wine for my partner for dessert, considering I only ordered for myself.

For entrees we asked for wakame salad and chicken gyozas, and both were very good and tasty. Special note for the salad, it might have been enough as an entree for two people (if they don't eat much).

For the main dish we asked for the traditional Osaka. It is really high quality, I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh the fish was, and was happy that they don't include none of the fresh cheese or fried onion nonsense. Everything was extremely tasty.

For the dessert, I had a three chocolates crepe with ball of ice-cream and a glass of Port, my partner had a lime pie. I was really happy with the crepes, I felt the sesame seeds gave the crepes a really nice pop which brought out the flavour of the white chocolate crepe especially, although all three were great. My partner was not as happy with her dessert, but overall considering the whole experience and how well the staff took care of us, the experience was definitely great.

It was a dinner, and I have no idea if the prices differ, but we paid 60 ish euros for the meal. Considering we had entrees, couvert , wine, dessert, and a generous amount of really good sushi, I feel the money was really well spent.

I will...

I tried the tasting experience of 8 moments and it was for sure worth it! It cost 35eur And 5 of the moments were sushi ( look at the pictures ) and 3 of the revolved around raw fish without it being necessarily sushi, like ceviche for example.

In terms of flavours there's a lot of variet, complex pieces. You will for sure enjoy the experience and will be full by the end.

The service took awhile to get all the 8 moments out, around 1 hour in total.

The staff was nice and polite. The atmosphere is also great.

One of my best experiences of sushi...

De longe o pior restaurante japonês que fui na vida. Entramos e escolhemos a mesa, no que a atendente logo disse estar reservada. Após falar com alguém atrás do balcão, disse-nos que poderíamos sentar. Pedi uma Pepsi e a garçonete a trouxe num copo com gelo e limão, primeira vez que me é servido um refrigerante direto no copo. Chamei a garçonete para que retirasse o gelo e o limão (não havia pedido), ela trouxe outra Pepsi fechada e disse-me que a lata não poderia ficar na mesa!!! Escolhemos o menu nº 2, que nos dava direito a uma entrada e o prato principal. Pedi sunomono (preparado com muito vinagre) e o prato com 16 peças de sushi e sashimi. O molho shoyu estava aguado (certeza que foi misturado à água, talvez para economizar), os sashimis tinham um tamanho ultra reduzido (um quadradinho de uns 3cm aproximadamente), o wasabi também veio numa quantidade irrisória de tão pequena. Quando estávamos prestes a terminar, a garçonete disse-nos que estavam a fechar o restaurante, o que nos fez apressar a refeição, ou seja, literalmente a nos mandar embora. Enfim, caro, comida ruim e escassa, atendimento...
