7.5/10Food was definitely excellent but overpriced from our viewpoint. The concept looks overhyped as well - we read of japanese/spanish fusion, which we didn't really perceive.

7/10
The smell was not very attractive when we first entered into the room - maybe because of the building’s ventilation or some other reason. The environment and sommelier was good. The food was okay - I expected more from a one Michelin-starred restaurant. We ate a lot of sushi in other countries like Japan, China and Singapore and definitely way to improve, not just the selection of raw ingredients, the way to treat/cut them, the selection of different salt or soy sauce to go with sushi…..besides I even had a tiny shell from the fried quail egg. All in all, it is a good alternative. After eating 10 days of local food, we missed some Asian flavors.

10/10I came here as a surprise for my girlfriend, i myself almost never tried/eats fish. I wanted to join in a course dinner, and they were so flexible that they changed my course menu with more meat dishes, but also with a couple fish dishes to let me experience the taste of their dishes. All i can say is that they were fantastic and flexible. The food was perfect!! Thank you Kabuki for the experience!
Kabuki Lisboa • Owner
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you and your girlfriend enjoyed the evening. It’s wonderful that you took the opportunity to explore some of our fish dishes, and we’re thrilled that you liked the food.

poor service for guest, no menu coming within 10 mins, no well explanation when asking question (I am asking, how do you recommend for one portion of A5 Wagyu, eg. 200g or 300g, waiter just answer it's 1.1EURO per g repeated, Michelin star ?) hu..... , I spend EURO 470 alone, but poor service.

2/10This was an extremely disappointing meal, service and fish quality. Like many, wondering how this restaurant was given a Michelin Star when so many things went wrong. I had written to the restaurant on two occasions saying that one guest had a shrimp allergy and the other a gluten allergy, and the server came by and said there was gluten but only a little bit, which is not what I asked. When visiting other Michelin’s they have gladly accommodated these allergies in advance in coming up with dishes that would not have these items. The fish did not taste fresh, and we are worried about food poisoning, since it arrived being warm. I also ordered the same drink twice and it arrived looking completely different the second time in colour and in look, as if the egg white was breaking up in an oily way. We are so disappointed that this was our last big dinner in Lisbon and then went to McDonald’s afterwards because it was that bad. Would not recommend wasting time or money here.
Kabuki Lisboa • Owner

3.5/10I am not sure how this restaurant has a Michelin rating as the food was terrible and the service subpar. The Salmon sake was dry and hard, the presentation poor. Only the cooked food (chicken teriyaki) was ok but that is not why you go to a sushi place. Dessert was a disaster with ice cream tasting like cheese (was supposed to be white chocolate). Will never go again and would not recommend it at all.
Kabuki Lisboa • Owner
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, we take your comments about the salmon, dessert and service seriously and will address this with our team. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide a better experience. Best regards, Kabuki Lisboa

7.5/10I was underwhelmed by the food. We experienced the short tasting menu and I thought it was lacking. 2 of the 6 courses served I personally was not pleased with. The fish on the first one was chewy and not soft and buttery, melting in your mouth, like it should be. And the second one was a tomato based bisque with slices of raw fish in them. The combination did not work for me personally. The last two courses were wonderful and the dessert didn't disappoint. The sommelier was only familiar with the sake selection on hand and wasn't trained in Japanese spirits, which I was surprised to hear given the 1 Michelin star rating of the restaurant. While it was not a bad experience per se, I wouldn't go back there as there are many other Michelin star options in Lisbon to explore.
Kabuki Lisboa • Owner
Thank you for your detailed comments and we are sorry to hear that some aspects of your dining experience did not meet your expectations.

We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the last two dishes and the dessert, your positive comments on these dishes are much appreciated. Regarding the sommelier's knowledge, we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We regret that your overall experience was not as exceptional as we aimed to provide, but we hope you will consider visiting us again in the future, we are committed to continuous improvement and would love to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations. Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback. Best regards, KABUKI Lisboa.

5.5/10Location too busy and way too much staff which isn't really friendly. It stinks a bit like spiritus and burned bits as the spot is in the basement and no good ventilation . Food is good - not too special - but hefty overpriced. For a six course menu there are six tiny courses. We had to get something as a real dessert afterwards. Wines were good but again not worth the money. Sorry to say but we feel a bit ripped of.

7/10The sommelier was professional, attentive to requests and managed to match the wine to our requests. . The waiters were fine, mechanical service. They forgot one dish we ordered. On our previous visits the service was much better. This time we decided not to go for the tasting dinner, to experience the variety. Some of the dishes were good and some were really bad. We were surprised to find non-chewy tissues in all the tuna dishes no matter which part they used. Including the Toro. Which means that someone does not know how to extract and cut the fish meat in the right direction. Beyond that, in my humble opinion, they used Harashimo and not Haranaka. And please ... when a chef restaurant writes on the menu: "black caviar", in this type of restaurant I at least expect to get Acipenser caviar and not Sterlet caviar. Disappointing.
Kabuki Lisboa • Owner
We are delighted that the sommelier was able to provide attentive service, but we are disappointed to learn of the problems with the food and the forgotten dish. It is unfortunate that some dishes did not meet expectations, especially considering your previous positive experience at our restaurant. Your comment is valuable and we will take them into account to improve. Best regards, KABUKI Lisboa.
