Nood is the city’s spot where you can find excellent Asian fusion food. The restaurant is based on a modern canteen layout and all dishes are created with different types of Asian ingredients. The motto here is “Food for your soul” – they claim one can not leave the restaurant without a smile on their face.
You can choose from a wide selection of appetizers – don’t forget to try out the duck gyosas or tori kare age. The classic sushi and sashimi are also on the menu, as well as a wide choice of yakisobas (Japanese pasta).
The juices are freshly squeezed and mix traditional fruits with uncommon ingredients, like mint, ginger or lime. The dessert department is constantly changing – new flavors and recipes are added on a regular basis (do ask what the day specials are).
If you are just up for a cocktail or a long drink, Nood has a cosy lounge area with great couches to relax after work or start a night out with friends! (Happy hour from 18:00 to 20:00)
The restaurant area is quite big, and that mixed with the table layout can make it quite noisy (or…lively 
– so if you are aiming for a calm dinner for 2, this is not the place to go!
Vee’s favorites: Chicken Yakisoba, Apple Crumble.
Rita’s favorites: Minto Juice, Gyosas, Nood Vanilla Ice cream (with Chocolate topping and wasabi)

Thanks for the support João
I still think it is a great combo, and the spiciness is perfectly noticeable, from my point of taste lol
@Karam: Nood is not a specialized sushi restaurant, and if you noticed it, we don’t recomend any sushi dishes in our favourites (this doesn’t mean it is bad, but there are other options which are better!)
In what concerns the wasabi ice cream, I totally have to disagree with you, as the dessert is described as it is on the menu, so you won’t be surprised to have powder wasabi on top of the chocolate fudge instead of a wasabi-flavoured icecream
I stick to that being a great dessert and Nood being a great spot!
not sure why we are doing this in english, but hey…; dude, overpriced franchise? you can argue about the canteen style, food quality, but over priced? what holes do you eat at in the UK? Waga, and Nood at that, are cheap as chips, yet have decent food.
Karam, what point are you making? “great funky place”, “great service”, “great people watching”, “crunchy vegies”, “mediocre Haagen daz ice cream”….maybe your standards are a little high?
Veronica, completely agree with you. love the place.
Just ate at Nood, and will probably not return. I was looking forward to trying some sushi in Lisbon since I have seen so many Japanese restaurants around the city but will probably stick with Portuguese food from now on.
Pros: Pretty decent prices, definitely not over the top since you get a funky hip little setting and the combos include dessert, but not cheap by any means. Average amount of food. The service was great, young enthusiastic waiters and waitresses, and an incredibly friendly bartender. Veggies in the yakisoba had a great crunch of freshness. The noodles were not drenched in oil, like I have experienced in other restaurants. Great people watching in the lounge, and very suitable for a group of stylish young adults just trying to hang out, not caring about the food.
Cons: Food was meh, if you have eaten Japanese in any other major metropolitan city, it tastes like it came out of a box. The sushi, specifically, tasted like it came out of one of those plastic containers you buy from the supermarket. My BIGGEST complaint was the dessert. Got the Ice cream with “wasabi chocolate sauce” terrible. It was very mediocre vanilla ice cream (probably haagen daz) with fake chocolate sauce, and a little wasabi powder. The wasabi powder was simply dusted on top, not infused with the ice cream or chocolate sauce at all, and could not even be tasted. I tried packing as much of it into one bite as I could, and even when I tasted it with the ice cream, it merely tasted like bland powder. Purely a novelty dessert so customers could say, “I’ve eaten wasabi ice-cream.”
Overall I agree with ‘dude’. Eat somewhere else, yeah there are some good looking young people, but it just felt so fake and forced in there that I would much rather enjoy another restaurant in the area.
If all the places in the world would be loved by everyone, then there would be no point in having choice of where to eat. Wagamama doesn’t exist in Portugal, and even if it did, it doesn’t have anything to do with Nood. I do love it here and the prices are very affordable taking in consideration the great good you get.
yeah its a pure imitation of wagamama. And lets be honest… who the hell would want to copy an already heartless and overpriced franchise anyway??
skip this place… honestly.. only ever eat there of you absolutely have to. Within a 5 minute walk there are lods of great, authentic, much cheaper places… with stuff mad witha little love put into it.
