Gardens Sushi & Bar By Bushido

I really enjoyed Gardens Sushi & Bar by Bushido. Starting with the space itself, which is very pleasant, the service, which stands out for its friendliness and flexibility with regard to customer options or restrictions, the décor, and the meal itself. More specifically, regarding this last point, the fried food is some of the best I've ever had. They're perfectly cooked, crispy, and delicious—I highly recommend the tempura mix. The menu offered an excellent variety of items, for all tastes, and the food has a fresh and intense flavor. A very good experience!

There are restaurants that stay in our memories not only for their flavor, but also for the way we're welcomed, the calm with which the meal unfolds, and the feeling of having made a good choice. Gardens Sushi & Bar by Bushido is undoubtedly one of those places. For those seeking quality at a fair price, especially in the (sometimes treacherous) world of sushi, this beachfront restaurant is a true gem here in the North. It's not a rodízio like the others; in fact, technically, it can't even be called a rodízio. The concept is a chef's selection, designed to provide a tasting experience. And perhaps that's what makes it so special: the lack of rushing, the absence of forced dishes just to fill our stomachs, and the constant care taken in the selection of the pieces. It all starts with a well-made, comforting miso soup with that classic yet balanced flavor. Next comes a pair of vegetable crepes with a sweet and sour sauce, crispy and addictive, paving the way for what really brings us there: the sushi. And here, Gardens stands out. There are no unnecessary Chinese-style mixes, no excessive rice to disguise the fish, no hot dishes piled high just to prolong the meal. The sushi arrives at the table early and is treated as the protagonist it deserves. The pieces are visually appealing, but more than that, they have flavor. There's one in particular, curious and unexpected, that looks like a small bale of straw. It's not, at first glance, the prettiest on the platter, but the texture and flavor are simply stunning. Crunchy, intense, memorable. I've been there more than once and never felt any attempt to limit the food. On the contrary: I've been with large groups, and whenever we asked for seconds of our favorite pieces, they brought exactly that, with friendliness and without hesitation. The service is warm, attentive, and makes us feel at home. The atmosphere is another highlight. On sunny days, it's the perfect place for a relaxed late afternoon. But even on winter afternoons, with rain beating against the windows and the sound of the sea in the background, Gardens has that cozy charm that makes us want to stay a little longer. The decor is thoughtful and elegant, and the space, while not very large, is well-distributed and comfortable. At its core, Gardens Sushi & Bar by Bushido is just that: a place where you eat well, are treated well, and where every visit is an experience you want to repeat. And that's why, every time I think of quality sushi, with a good atmosphere and unhurried service, their name immediately comes to mind. I recommend it without hesitation.

The best temaki I've ever had: crispy seaweed, large, and in the bushido version, the combination is excellent. A diverse, tasty combination, with the fun of a pair of salmon roasting in a flambé broth. Oceanfront, large windows, but no elaborate decor. A huge children's playground right behind, good for families.

It was a big surprise to find such good Japanese food in Porto. We ordered a platter, and every piece was very exquisite and tasted delicious! The restaurant environment is also very good, and you can also see the sea view indoors. The service attitude is also very attentive and good, very good 👍🏻

Great place to eat good sushi near the beach, with a good atmosphere. Definitely coming back 😊
