YŌSO - Omakase

Wonderful Japanese gourmet experience, with some of the best quality ingredients you will ever find. As befits a proper Japanese restaurant it is quite small, allowing for some great service and even a really good interaction with the chef. Top place for Japanese food in Lisbon.

An amazing experience. Omakase menu was thoughtfully curated, I.e. the dishes complemented each one while providing a variety of flavors. I am the one who does not like to combine meat amd fish and there it was not a case, thankfully. Among all, there was uni, otoro and other ingredients at a higher price point Saying that cause sometimes u pay quite high price but end up with just regular tuna, salmon etc. the highlight was a cheesecake, though! it had beautiful fractions of sheep's cheese in it for a complexity of flavor, and was paired with a pumpkin jam. The staff were the loveliest, thank you very much guys! 5/5

We had the Omakase, bento box and chirashi (upon request). The staff and chef were very accommodating in preparing the chirashi for us. However we experienced a fishy smell in one type of fish from the chirashi and bento box which left us with the impression that the fish wasn't so fresh. Take note we went on a Tuesday for lunch so this may be the reason why. Nonetheless we had no complaints about the other types of fishes served. It was freshed and the rice was well seasoned and delicious. The Omakase experience was a bit confusing, the staff explained the type of fish and the story behind it but did not indicate how it corresponds to the names given on the menu. Furthermore, upon request for wasabi we were told the restaurant had ran out and left it at that. Overall it was a bit disappointing, perhaps our expectations were set a bit high. We left not feeling fully satiated and hence the experience left us not wanting to return. Perhaps a few points for improvements which may enhance the experience 1. Include the soup with the chirashi. If it was given the first time. Should have some consistency in the service and expectations of the customers. 2. The bento lunch set would be better if it is accompanied by ice cream/something sweet to finish the set. Perhaps the sesame ice cream that's similar to the Omakase. 3. For the Omakase, there were very little interactions with the chef, perhaps due to language barriers. A friend didn't eat liver and was not asked if preferences could be changed. Only ginger was provided as palette cleansers, perhaps some amuse-bouche would have been the perfect touch to transition from one type of dish to another. For the price, it wasn't a lot of food.

The best experience ever. The sashimi was delicious, the sushi perfect, and the dessert impressive! If you are looking for a truly authentic Japanese experience, go for it. Close your eyes and travel through each step of the menu.

Dinner is meant to be an experience. You put yourself in the hands of the expert chef and enjoy dinner in the close company of 9 other people (dinner is meant to seat 10). Dinner is not a la carte, with a sampling menu prepared for everyone in the room. Everything is fresh, every dish is different every day (which is why you dont know in advance what you will eat, only how it is to be prepared) and everything is exquisitely delicious. You're made to feel comfortable and at home by the friendly and highly attentive staff, with everyone, including (perhaps especially) the chef willing to answer any questions you might have. While the atmosphere is formal, you will quickly feel at home and relaxed. The wine list is good and coffee is both delicious and part of the experience. Definitely an outing to remember and to repeat. Fully intend to try lunch during the week, with bento boxes on the menu.

Big ambitions to get into the guide, but there’s a mix of some positives and plenty of negatives. There’s a lot of learning to do. For starters, it’s crazy to offer a menu without prices—pretty sure that’s illegal anywhere. And then there’s the whole issue with prices and how they’re communicated. No wine or sake list at all—I practically had to beg just to see a bottle and not get stuck with some random suggestion. The restaurant itself feels minimalist and cold. There’s something uncomfortable about it—maybe the acoustics, maybe the lighting, or both. But when it comes to the food, I was genuinely impressed. The quality of the ingredients and the chef’s skills are top-notch. They could definitely benefit from having a separate Omakase menu. Would I go back? Maybe, once they get a wine/sake list and show prices.

I had an incredible gastronomic experience with my mom during our visit to Lisboa at this truly authentic Japanese restaurant YŌSO - Omakase. For elegant, minimalist atmosphere to the flawless sashimi and nigiri, everything was top notch. The fish was incredibly fresh and with their perfectly balanced standout pieces were melting in our mouths. Every dish was beautifully presented, making the experience even more speciaI and it was clear that the chef take immense pride in their craft, using the finest ingredients and traditional techniques. The service was attentive and the explanations of the dishes added a nice touch. It was a memorable meal - Let's just say it was "soy" good...😊 we couldn't stop smiling! For anyone visiting Lisboa and looking for an incredible dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. My mother and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to authentic Japanese cuisine, and we’ll cherish the memory of this meal forever. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, high quality. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Obrigado!

We went to Yoso, there are no prices on anything on their menu (I understand they are going for Japanese simplicity), was shocked to receive a bill with 6€ for water, when they ask you if you would like still or sparkling. Additionally they keep pouring you wine and do not tell you that they keep charging you, even if you did not ask for another glass. The Chef is talented, though some fish cuts had tendons and was chewy, not what was expected for such an expensive meal.
