Our purpose defines as providing our guests a mesmerising sensorial flight, exploring the 5 senses and the 5th taste. Our chef and owner pursuit inspiration both from Kaiseki – Ryori techniques and the Nanban period, when the first Portuguese people stepped on Japanese lands and their influence over this marvelous culture.

The restaurant itself is small, minimalistic, and very clean in design – exactly how you would imagine a Japanese omakase place to be. The moment you step inside, you almost forget you’re in Lisbon. The atmosphere is calm, focused, and peaceful, which makes it incredibly easy to fully enjoy the experience.

Sitting at the counter was a real highlight. Watching the chef work with such precision and respect for the ingredients – turning the freshest fish into delicate, perfectly balanced dishes – felt special and personal. The menu was wonderful from start to finish. The quality of the fish was outstanding, and honestly, it’s hard to name a favorite, as every single piece was exceptional in its own way.

The chef was highly professional, confident, and calm, and the presentations were beautiful without ever feeling overdone. You could truly feel the care and thought behind each dish. The entire team did a fantastic job, attentive, warm, and perfectly in tune with the overall experience.

Considering the quality, craftsmanship, and experience as a whole, the price feels very fair. This is not just a dinner, but an immersive and memorable journey.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates excellent food, precision, and a calm, refined dining experience.

We had amazing experience at this restaurant.

Nice environment.

I liked that the emphasis was on fish, without the unnecessary sauces and experiments that many other Omakase restaurants offer these days.

The pieces of fish were large, they cut it heartily and without stinginess… as if it were for themselves

Nothing to add regarding ingredients, everything was fresh and high quality.

The team is so kind, welcoming and at the top of the cooking art of Omakaze. I would definitely recommend also for lunch if you like to be surprised and get carried by the chef’s menu!

Truly exceptional, stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best you’ll find in Japan. Loved the subtle little Portuguese twists the chef incorporates into an otherwise quite traditional Japanese experience. Great sake selection too. Will go back.

We have been to a lot of Michelin omakase restaurants before and never we tried a mixture of traditional and creative food style.
I love the uses of fresh local ingredients with a blend of Japanese flavours.
Both chefs are very humble and friendly.
Although we communicate through English translation from the lovely waitress, I can feel both chefs are very passionate on what they are doing.
Overall a lovely enjoyable experience

Liked it so much that we went twice – for the 2nd time, we invited our friends who own Japanese restaurants in Lisbon.
Food- Chef Abner was formally with Matte, another Japanese restaurant in Lapa, Lisbon. We followed him to Yoso and was pleased that he’s the co-owner together with manager, Jose. Ingredients are not only fresh but specially prepared just like in a high end Japanese restaurant in Tokyo (which is my fav). Scallops from Hokkaido, and fresh fish from Azores and Oysters from Setubal were some of the highlights during our 2 visits.
Top rating goes to the Miso Gindara (Cod flown in from Hokkaido), which were simply divine.
Service- Jose and his team exudes professionalism during both our visits. His knowledge of Sakes is really good and we sampled so many varieties due to his recommendations.
Ambience- love the simple lines and warm lighting that speaks elegance. The cutlery were of great quality and matched the price point of this restaurant .
I now recommend this restaurant to any one in Lisbon who wants authentic Japanese food with ambience to match. Dress up for an evening you won’t regret.

I had lunch at this Japanese restaurant, and it was remarkable from start to finish.
The atmosphere is calm and refined, with beautiful decor, great music, and elegant tableware that adds to the overall experience. The service was attentive, discreet yet always perfectly timed.

As for the food , just as good as in Japan.
The raw scallops were incredibly fresh and delicate, and the variety of sushi was outstanding, with perfectly seasoned rice and ginger marinated in house-made vinegar.

I especially loved the Japanese yellowtail sandwich, which was both surprising and delicious. And the black sesame ice cream to finish, subtle, rich, and absolutely memorable.

A place I’ll definitely return to with great pleasure.

Strong start, but underwhelming towards the sashimi and nigiri parts. A bit too formal and quiet for our taste. Some execution issues that impacted the overall experience.

What we enjoyed: The amuse-bouche, the wagyu dish, and the eel. The chocolate truffle that came with the coffee at the end was a nice touch.

What could have been better: Sashimi variety. Three slices of Bonito as the only sashimi felt underwhelming. The fish sando was an interesting idea, but lacked a stronger kick and something crispier.

What we really did not enjoy:
• The rice. Some might call it their style, but the excess acidity overpowered the fish, plus the portioning was consistently too big for the fish slices.

• The ginger. Normally, ginger is meant to cleanse the palate between courses, but theirs was too sweet, which affected its function.

• Communication from the chef. The explanations of the dishes were sometimes unclear, and there was noticeably more detail in Portuguese than in English.

Overall not worth the star.
