KAPPO | Japanese Cuisine

The best omakaze & sushi experience i’ve had in Portugal, and to be honest top 3 ever. Everything was absolutely delicious. We loved the mix of warm proper dishes, with the lighter sashimi & nigiris. Recommend adding the temaki & wagyu add ons. Well done guys, was really really impressed.

I really wanted to love this restaurant. The ingredients and cooking are of high quality, with a skilled team but there are key issues to fix: 1) Aside form the sommelier, no one cracked a smile through the service, so for a 2.5 hour experience, it felt really long and serious. A few smiles and upbeat music would help greatly. 2) Almost all the dishes were over seasoned/salt. Fishes were beautifully cured and prepared, only to have you compete with too much salt or sauce at the end. (See pictures) It's excellent cooking, but needs a lighter hand on the salt. 3) My partner cannot eat meat which I informed them days ahead. They excluded the meat items but offered ZERO replacement . For example, A5 beef with mushroom rice they could at least given him more rice, but rather he got a half empty plate. Also the pork-fat cookie at the end, they can easily gave him an extra piece of chocolate instead. It showed a lack of care and planning. These are all easy things to fix, I wish they can adjust to get to a 1 star. I can see why no star is given to them...yet.

Incredible dinner, easily Michelin star level. Service was fantastic, chefs were meticulous and very professional. The food was out of this world, you'll have tastes here that you've never experienced before and that's the sign of a special restaurant. Get the additional caviar because they work this into the dishes in the Omakase menu rather than it being served on the side separately, it really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is ever so slightly serious but then it's quite an intimate setting being so close to the chefs. So i think it's better this way than it being noisy and jovial, a great place for couples to go and eat in. We'll most certainly be back.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a good restaurant, gorgeous decor , extra -polite staff and some great dishes but something didn’t seat right with me. I live in lisbon and I have tried many Omakase in the city (also been to Japan 2 times but I won’t compare it with the authentic otherwise I will give fewer stars) and this one stands out with presentation of dishes, but it doesn’t stand out in actual taste of ingredients and blends too many unecessary elements: it’s not purely omakase , but more of a fusion fine-dining experience so go with this in mind, which either you will like it or not. For me, the 2 waiters constantly coming after every dish to take the plates or escorting you to the bathroom which was a few meters away was too much, it didn’t make me feel “cozy” or relaxed, it felt too “staged”. The price was also too high even thought the quantity wasn’t more than other Omakase in lisbon as other reviews have stated. For tourists who want an elevated experience it may be fine and I would actually recommend it to them , but for me living there I expect more things to justify the steep prices.

What a great place! We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and it was just amazing! The food was so fresh, so tasty and amazing every time! The service was great and friendly. We enjoyed this experience very much and want to thank the whole team for all the hard work they put into this place!

Amazing experience, fish is perfect especially with old fashion performance style

Ordered the omakase for 2 that currently is priced at 130€ a person, without drink pairings. I believe this covers 6 different tastings and each tastings offered a few different fishes within. While I was not totally full after the meal, I was satisfied. It would have been nice to been offered/asked for additional items such as a roll or something. Most of the fishes were locally sourced for Portugal, accept for the tuna that came from Spain and I really was happy to hear that. For the actual dishes served, they were truly all phenomenal and could not be more happier with the quality. My only slight gripe was the atmosphere was a bit dry and not as fun as I’d want, more of a business transactional feel. Expect prompt service, but with a serious face, rather than a laid back smiling type of service. I’d still come back anytime as the food is that good!

We went for dinner, the overall experience was nice although I do wish there was more nigiri in the tasting, as most of the dishes were underwhelming not bad but not memorable. I went there when they first opened and must say I enjoyed their initial menu much more. Their sake menu is nice but with much too big margins compared to other places with a sake list (180 euros compared to 105 euros in other restaurants for the same bottle we chose)
