The thing with craving Japanese food in Almada is that your appetite does a full tour of the menu. One minute you’re dreaming of a delicate sashimi platter, the next you’re eyeing a sizzling teppanyaki grill. You want to graze through flavors—a bit of this, a bit of that—without feeling anchored to one dish. You essentially want a culinary adventure, plate by plate. Here are the spots that deliver exactly that.
Modjo Sushi – Bar Almada
There are many Japanese restaurants in Almada that serve fresh fish and do it well – but Modjo Sushi – Bar Almada might just be the best of them all. Be it expertly sliced sashimi, a platter of nigiri, or just some really perfect tuna rolls – the concise menu is always a delightful experience to leisurely enjoy. The cozy atmosphere and fast, efficient service from the attentive Guilherme make every visit comfortable and satisfying.
Restaurante Japonês – TANAKA SUSHI (Tanaka Sushi)
Tanaka Sushi is a straightforward little Almada spot that serves seriously excellent all-you-can-eat sushi which definitely constitutes a bit of this, bit of that situation. That being said, when the Philadelphia cheese sushi alone is so good that you’ll consider changing your name to Wasabi Mayo, it’s quite hard to not ‘accidentally’ keep on ordering. After all, you don’t want your plate of fresh sashimi to get lonely on its own, do you?
Sabor de Amor
The ultimate crowd-pleaser, Sabor de Amor is your go-to for a feast that satisfies everyone. This spacious buffet spot in Almada is all about variety. We’re talking Chinese stir-fries, Japanese sushi, and grilled meats. You should try a bit of everything, partly because the price-quality ratio is excellent, but mostly because you’ll want to linger in the comfortable setting with its pleasant atmosphere. Don’t skip the aquarium either. Because, kids.
Sushisan Almada
Almada’s most legendary Japanese restaurants are still very much 10/10 spots to cosplay being in a more refined, less hurried, and authentically Japanese dining experience. The Almada location is a great spot for as many rolls and plates as you like.
Soul Sushi (Restaurante Japonês – SOUL SUSHI)
Picture this: you’re in Almada, it’s a crisp evening, you’ve got a glass of sake in one hand and a piece of nigiri in the other, your companion has just requested another round of salmon rolls – because why not – and you glance at the menu and see two words: lunch special. That’s Soul Sushi.
Hanami Sushi (Hanami Sushi Almada Forum)
Hanami Sushi is one of those reliable restaurants that’s always there for you on your worst days (when you’re craving sushi but your wallet’s feeling thin) and your best days (it’s Friday night, you’ve got a movie queued up, and my god, look how that sashimi glistens under the soft lighting). In Almada Forum, you can always count on this place for quality Japanese cuisine that arrives fresh and flavorful. That’s solid.
Kamikaze
At Kamikaze your spirit animal will quickly become a shrimp with a taste for sushi and many many sauces. Odds are your cozy (our fingers are crossed) Almada date-night table will be overflowing with sashimi and sushi rolls as well. So don’t be polite, reach across, and get a bit of everything.
Sushi In The House – Almada
Ordinarily, a sushi spot in Almada offers the same rolls, nigiri, and every variation of maki you can imagine. Let us be clear: we never don’t endorse that. But if you’re after something a little more expertly crafted on the south bank, then go to Sushi In The House. The sushi is simple but well-prepared, it’s always delicious, and you’ll settle in for hours thanks to the attentive service from Larissa and the love Mr. João puts into every piece.
Tomasushi
You can probably guess from the name, but Tomasushi serves, well, sushi and Japanese classics. A wonderfully straightforward spot in Almada, the vibe is always reliable-and-cozy comfortable, and the food is genuinely excellent. On the right relaxed evening, we recommend you gather a few hungry friends and indulge in our cherished ritual of ‘sharing generous plates of exceptional carvery while making the most of the reasonable prices’.
Sushicome Almada
Everyone knows that Japanese cuisine and a relaxed evening are ~chef’s kiss~. What everyone doesn’t know is that Japanese cuisine, a relaxed evening, and a cozy table in Almada is also the perfect dining equation. Fresh sushi, flavorful rolls, and impressive plating are all part of the experience at Sushicome Almada. As is an affordable price point and a comfortable, kid-friendly atmosphere.
