We ate dinner here on our trip to Porto a few weeks ago. It was the top meal of the trip, no contest.
Wine was amazing, and our very friendly server/host was super helpful in helping us make our choices. Everyone here was very friendly and kind.
The restaurant is beautiful and I love that they have multiple distinct eating spaces.
On to the food…
Mushrooms were amazing as others have commented.
In raw land, we had:
- Flambé tuna: tasty af.
- Sashimi: yellowtail is the best I remember having, love the seasoning they put in top, and chu toro was par.
- Salmon batera: yum! fun version of a roll kinda (but pressed, not rolled).
Next we moved on to the hot stuff…
First up was the seafood rice hot dish. Oh my. It was stuffed full of fresh seafood, and every single bite was cooked perfectly. No fishy flavors here or rubbery over-cooked textures, just perfection. The rice with it was amazing as well. So much flavor.
I was in the fence about ordering the a5 wagyu, but it was soo worth it. It melted in your mouth and the beefy flavor was out of this world. The rice served with it is this rich stuff that I couldn’t get enough of. It was very different than the rice served with the seafood rice.
If I have to give a negative, it’s that the cocktails were very tasty but way too sweet for our tastes, and the music sounded a bit like jazz in the cheesy elevator music style. /shrug
Sitting at the sushi bar was really fun as we got to observe the guys making their delicious art, and the banter was fun. Even if we couldn’t understand it haha.
We ate at our local Japanese joint recently which made me appreciate just how fresh and flavorful the fish was at Tokkotai.
Would no doubt return here in the future!
Ps: my quickly snapped pics don’t do the food justice!
