    enjoy the ramen and gyoza this is definitely a good place to visit when you are in São Paulo... The soup base is wonderful... 很棒的拉麵和餃子 湯頭味美 很棒的地方 值得光顧

    This is the cheapest ramen I have ever had out of all Japanese ramen shops outside of Japan! It beats the prices of ramen shops in Dusseldorf, Germany or New York! So it's really great value for money! The ramen taste though authentic enough, could be a little better, but as I said, the prices are so cheap!!! I love this shop! Go early though it you would have to wait quite a while!

    I'm currently in São Paulo visiting my friends. I travelled here from New York City and there's a lot of Ramen shops. But I feel like compare it to NYC ramen places is not a fair comparison so I like to compare it to Japans fast food chain Ichiran. I would have to say for a ramen place in Brazil knowing that there's a big population is not up to my expectation. But being in Latin America for so long having some Japanese comfort food is really warming. They offer 3 soup bases. I ordered the Tonkatsu. The pork is good and soft, all the extra ingredients are not bad either. But the soup broth is lacking a bit. But in a good ramen the soup base is the key ingredient. So I'm giving this a full 3stars and I'll say other then the soup base the noodle texture is good but you choose your own firmness. You could however add additional items. They only have Gyoza for appetizers. Overall good selection for Brazil!!

    Yummy gyoza! Dont miss it!

    Very good. Wait at 12:30pm on a Sat in February was about 45 min for a party of 3. Unlike the rest of the restaurants in Brazil this restaurant turns tables very quickly. If you're a small party expect to sit at a table with another small party. Gyoza very good. Ramen too. I will return.

    Long line for lunch

    An Izakaya is first and foremost a neighborhood bar that serves drinks and bar food. This place did…read morea great job making me feel welcome, offering me a menu in English as we greeted. There were certainly plenty of Japanese speaking customers mixed in with Portuguese. And I, the odd tourist, felt right at home. The bamboo shoot and shitake mushroom appetizers were delectable. The chicken broth ramen was insipid. The Gyukatsu Kare (breaded fried beef with curry sauce over rice) was better, but not the ultra crispy panko planks I've had in some places. Maybe it was because I ordered it at the end of the night. The Brazilian brewed cold sake was really good. Could hardly tell the difference from Japanese sake. But, the highlight of the dinner of Sanma Shio--grilled pike mackerel with sea salt. Inexpensive for Sanma, uber fresh, grilled crispy so that you could crunch up the head and tail! The service was prompt, efficient and very warm. Even the owner came by to chat several times. Arigato gozaimasu! Obrigado! Thank you.

    It's not bad... We went here at night and to be totally honest we didn't feel that great about the…read morerelative safety of the neighborhood we were in. It felt a bit sketchy. Something to keep in mind if you're considering going here and you're a visitor. Other than that, the food is pretty standard izakaya fare- not that much of a Brazilian influence from what we could tell. And we're very familiar with the genre (tons of these in the NYC) so we knew what to expect. The food is pretty tasty and the service was pretty good. The restaurant kinda feels like you walked into someone's kitchen which is pretty interesting. But overall we've actually had much better Japanese food. So there's that. But not a bad option if you're looking for something completely different in São Paulo.

    Was craving ramen because of an Anime I watched the other day so I ended up skipping the gua bao,…read moreeven though it looked great. My brother had the wanton ramen and his lady had hers with taiwanese sausage. I ordered shio ramen with pork belly and wheat noodles (you can get harussame or ho fun instead) and braised pork belly as a topping. We ordered fried squid and gyoza for the table. The gyoza dough was a little thicker than that of the other Taiwanese restaurants nearby, the filling rich in Chinese leeks and umami served unremarkable sweet and sour sauce on the side. The squid was crunchy and light without being too chewy. Unlike most restaurants in this area, the hot tea was not complimentary and they didn't have any green tea so we went with a cup of oolong each. There's something about the pepper in Taiwanese and Chinese restaurants. It's usually very strong although it doesn't overpower the flavors of the food. We sat upstairs as the few table downstairs were full. Pity the table next to us was very loud, with one guy practicing his monologue about whatever. Other than having a douche ranting for a soundtrack, our experience was pretty enjoyable.

    Great new Taiwanese restaurant in Liberdade. The speciality is pork buns and they are smashing. I…read morehaven't tried the other food on the menu - fried chicken/squid or the noodles. Though if the pork bun is enough to go by then I have high hopes. The pork bun is a meal by itself so you probably won't be needing another plate. The pork is juicy and tender and the bread is soft, however sadly not as pure as other pork buns I've tried. Albeit at 14 reais it's a great bargain for a quick dinner.
