Boa-Bao was a great find while taking in the sights of Porto. In this city great seafood is easy to…read morecome by so it was a treat to the Asian flavors in Europe. Started with a sampler plate as we wanted to savor every little bite. Then we moved on to the main course. Opted for the Black Tiger Shrimp which was the star of this show. Flavors came together to make a great light meal before a night of adult beverages. Speaking of adult bevs, the drinks were also delicious and tasty. I went for the wine. It's a must in this city.

I am waiting to write this because it was so so. For Porto it's great. It's very touristy and the…read morefood was ok. This reminds me of fast food chains but just a bit more. Nothing stood out and because I'm writing this several months late, I can't remember if anything was good. It wasn't bad, but honestly at this point I can't remember. I think people came here more to drink. I'd have to go back to get a better assessment of this place. It's been so long, I have very little memory of it other than what I started to write and that didn't look promising.

Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a nice dinner in Porto…read more Has a very nice ambiance with options to choose space downstairs or upstairs. Their cocktails and foods were great! The service was good as well. Recommend making a reservation in advance - ceviche: a great appetizer. Refreshing yet flavorful - shrimp risotto: it was my husband's menu. Shrimp was very tender - octopus: well-paired with the risotto - dessert: we got one with peanut butter per our waiter's recommendation and we were satisfied

We had high hopes for this restaurant after it was recommended by our hotel.  I think the place…read moregets a lot of hotel-referred traffic as the side street located restaurant was full tourists.  The cramped quarters are fine and it will give you the NYC village feel. We liked the creativity of the menu and some of the chances they took with ingredients.  When service is slow and unsteady, it always impacts the experience and the way the food can be enjoyed.  Waiving down waiters for drinks is always a buzz kill before a buzz,  as is watching diners arrive later and get theirs first.   The tuna tartare was fresh and tasty when it did show up. I am not a big capers fan so i was pleasantly surprised when it had none.  The crunchy rice strings added some  texture and made the presentation at the table a photo shot (not shown here). I was slow before they mixed it table-side with a fresh quail egg.  I had high hopes for the shrimp dish.  The presentation was great but the tiny shrimp were overwhelmed by the crunchy, but oil soaked outside shell.  Maybe we drew a bad batch.  The sea bass was sad.  When a fish is served skin side up it needs to be crispy and ours was soggy and tasteless.  We love pasta so were hoping the tortelloni would save the dish. It did not but could have. One of them had unfolded and they were too al dente. The price to servicing size to quality were off balance.  There were other dishes that may have been better but we will not know since we would venture to other places before we returned.

Perfect sushi at a very reasonable price particularly the lunch menu. Went back for dinner as well…read moreit was so good. Recommend the gyosha and the marinated raw fish for starters and any of the freestyle sushi meals hits the spot. Has a non sushi menu (burgers/sandwiches etc) for the kids or the non sushi fans.

My husband and I have this habit of visiting Japanese restaurants while traveling, specially when…read morevisiting coastal cities. In Porto it wouldn't be any different. We followed trip advisors tip and loved it. The food was amazing, fish so fresh. Food presentation was beautiful - even felt sorry to mess my dish while eating. Service made the experience worth it as well. We know get that Porto is kind of expensive to eat - at least when comparing to Lisbon and other Portugal cities - but it was fare considering the quality. We went on a Tuesday, apparently not a busy day for them this time of the year. Overall, we strongly recommend Dixo's: we had a 22 pieces sushi combo, the passion spice scallops, tuna tataki spicy and king crab rolls - everything absolutely yummy!

Def recommend: Ceviche - this will live rent free in my head forever Salmon tataki- solid reco by Pedro and cuts were generous and oh so buttery Tuna akami roll - great cuts Unagi - nice and lightly seared Sashimi - nice cuts of tuna, salmon and yellowtail Turbot - interested in trying pieces we don't get in the states but this was not my fave The suggested wine for the night was funky and we loved it

As someone who never leaves a bad review, this was a very negative experience. The food was…read moreincredible however the service was so rude and not acceptable. After speaking up that we felt uncomfortable and unwanted, there was no action to rectify, apologize, or even ever speak to us again. Disappointing for such a great restaurant with a high quality of fish and menu selections. To have to ask if there is a problem, is a problem.

They are breaded and delicately crispy, with a juicy, tasty inside. Service was polite and efficient. Spoke great English. There's additional table seating and table service downstairs.

It was a pleasant surprise to find it...the food was OK - we found the service kind and helpful but the food not so authentic. Quite pricey. Beef noodle soup - tasted mostly like soy sauce base. Noodles were thin egg noodles but not the right kind. Felt like linguine lol. Beef was plentiful and tender though. Lu rou fan - decent for Asian food in Europe standards, could use much fatty pork belly, more sugar, star anise, and five spice powder. Was on the dry side and for some reason there were fried tempura flakes. Gua bao - seemed like their most authentic menu item with all the right ingredients, tasted pretty good. Overall it served our craving but wouldn't return or recommend it to friends.
