9.5/10According to my girlfriend the outstanding dish was the scallop for me the K.O.B Gunkan as this was an exploration of different tried to not go into the sushi but saw the Combo preparation and looked like something to try next time. The only real complaint was the noise level and loud music. Otherwise perfect. Thank you
Yakuza by Olivier - Lisboa • Owner
Dear Diogo Santos, Thank you ever so much for your thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that both you and your girlfriend enjoyed the dishes. The scallop and the K.O.B Gunkan are indeed among our most celebrated creations. It's wonderful to know that our culinary explorations resonated with you, and we do hope you'll have the chance to try the Combo preparation on your next visit. We appreciate your note regarding the noise level and music. While we aim to create a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, we understand that comfort is paramount. Your feedback will be shared with our team so we can strike a better balance moving forward. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon for another memorable experience.

7.5/10excellent food, but I've never been charged the full price of 2 gin tonics for a double shot. The waiter was very passive aggressive and rude plus I don't appreciate adding a "suggestion" gratuity fee to the bill directly without even mentioning it, there's no tipping culture in Portugal, this just rubbed me off the wrong way. The food was amazing though.
Yakuza by Olivier - Lisboa • Owner
Dear Mr Tavares, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly pleased to hear that you found the food exceptional. It's a cornerstone of what we strive to deliver. We regret that the service did not meet your expectations on this occasion. Regarding the gratuity, it is presented on the bill as a suggested amount, and it is the responsibility of our staff to explain this clearly. Should any guest choose not to include it, there is absolutely no issue, it is entirely optional. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will address the points you've raised with our team to ensure a more transparent and welcoming experience in future. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a visit more in line with our standards. Warm regards, Yakuza by Olivier – Guest Relations

9/10Overpriced but it’s a nice experience. Don’t expect to spend less than 100€ per person. You can get better food for the same amount of money at places like omakase wa and kabuki.

8.5/10as always, everything excellent beside the music, completely inappropriate for a place like that
Yakuza by Olivier - Lisboa • Owner
Dear Giuseppe Berlanda, Thank you for your continued trust and for sharing your impressions with us. We’re delighted to know that, as always, everything was excellent. Your loyalty and appreciation mean a great deal to our team. Regarding your comment on the music, we’d like to share that the current selection is part of the restaurant’s conceptual identity, designed to contrast tradition with a contemporary, That said, we fully understand that musical taste and volume can influence the overall dining experience. We will certainly pass your feedback along to our music curator so we can continue refining the balance between ambiance and atmosphere, ensuring it complements the elegance of the space. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another memorable evening. Warm regards, Team Yakuza Lisbon

Very sexy restaurant, Some of the food was outstanding, scallop appetizer w a Asian beurre blanc, and some fell a bit short of the mark, buttery shiitake mushrooms that were soggy and rubbery. All dishes were artfully presented. The sushi was fantastic and the Uni some of the best I’ve yet had.

10/10
Yakuza by Olivier completely exceeded my expectations. From the outside, the restaurant is tucked inside a nondescript hotel building — normally not my thing — but the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a completely different world. The design is stylish, with a lively, club-like atmosphere that only grows as the night goes on. We sat at the sushi bar and had an amazing table for two. Highly recommend ordering the dry ice sampler plate — the presentation is fascinating, cocktails were excellent, and the food was just outstanding. The scallops in particular were a highlight (trust me, you’ll want two). What I loved most was the pace. We spent four hours there, never felt rushed, and just enjoyed every moment. Later in the evening, around 11:00–11:30, the music picked up and the place turned into more of a party vibe — people dancing, energy buzzing, so much fun. Overall: fantastic food, unforgettable atmosphere, and an experience I’d highly recommend. Thumbs up to Yakuza —

8/10Food could definitely be better for the price and the place feels soul less. Also I don’t understand: tries to be a zuma but without the party? Anyways the place is beautiful and service is good I guess for many people could work
Yakuza by Olivier - Lisboa • Owner
Dear Francesco Allegra, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for the positive rating. We’re glad you appreciated the beauty of the space and the service, though we understand the experience didn’t fully resonate with you.

9.5/10The food was literally amazing, in particular the salad with onion sauce and sushi - perfection! Service was great, just a little slow to respond - had to ask for soy sauce 3 times before it was brought to the table. Desserts - off the chart, the kit kat one was spectacular and the banana bread so fun (we think it had pop rocks on top!).
Yakuza by Olivier - Lisboa • Owner
Dear Jacqueline Sweeney Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you loved the food, especially the salad, sushi, and those unforgettable desserts. Your kind words mean a lot.
