Ricci was responsible for picking dinner and he was interested in checking out Yakuza, a very nice sushi place in Lisbon.
Ricci made reservations, and we uber'ed to the restaurant. The restaurant had a very nice decor and ambiance, and our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful.
We started with some fancy drinks, a mocktail for Thanh (Sunset Garden), a Japanese Whiskey Sour for Phil. Excellent drinks.
Amy started with the Miso soup and said it was the best ever, so a second one was ordered for Phil and Thanh.
For dinner, we selected the Yakuza combo, which was the chef's choice of 16 pieces of sashimi and 16 pieces of sushi. Our waiter said he would make sure there would be 4 of each so we could easily split among the four of us. We also ordered the Gunkan chef's choice, where Yakuza was famous for. Gunkans are oval balls of rice wrapped in nori seaweed and topped with various fish or others.
For dessert, we tried the green tea fondant with sesame ice cream, which was different but surprisingly good.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Above average in term of sushi. We were happy with the service and the food. But in term of ranking among our meals in Portugal, this ranked in the middle of the pack, as we had some really good and memorable seafood at other restaurants.
