We ordered takeout version of their executive lunch which was very reasonably priced at $15 for meals for 2 people (app, entree, dessert). The quality of the fish was not as high as higher end sushi restaurants in Brazil, but I really enjoyed their creative fusion offerings, such as a spring roll with shrimp and cheese (delicious), a dolce de leche dessert spring roll (tastes like a churro), and a mushroom cheese fried sushi roll (and this is coming from a girl who does not generally eat cheese or fried foods). The poke bowl was fresh and healthy.

Great sushi! I had…read moreno idea what to expect of sushi here but generally I was impressed. I'm not a sushi snob but everything I had I liked it a lot.

I would not recommend this restaurant. I asked the owner lady if she had scallops as I didn't see…read moreit on the menu - she replied yes so I order 4 pieces of scallop nigri and one scallop sashimi. The sashimi was one piece cut in the 4 thin slices - very tasty but very small. The nigri came cooked to my surprise. when I asked the owner, she said it is not fresh so we need to sear it for safety. I was not impressed to be told this. moreover, the rice had a bite and inedible. when the bill came, this was the biggest shock. She charged me the equivalent of £25 for ONE piece of scallop sashimi on the basis that it came from Canada. She did not warn me of the price when I ordered and further dos lot share that the nigiri scallops would be defrosted. why can Sushi Leblon down the road served 100 times fresher and better sushi and sashimi for a fraction of the price? My advice is DON'T go to Azumi unless you want inferior food for exorbitant prices. The owner is very dishonerable. I paid, left and will never return.

The place is not that big, I would recommend you to eat directly at the bar table with the sushiman preparing your meal. I would recommend also to order just sashimi & niguiri, the rolls were not that good. The service was not so good, they only speak Portuguese so it was quite difficult to understand them. Anyway, you must come if you are visiting Rio! Lugar de Sushi auténtico japonés. Los chefs son japoneses lo cual te da una primera buena impresión de buen lugar para este tipo de comida! Y así fue. Gran selección de pescados: pez limón, lubina, atún rojo entre otros. El lugar no es muy grande, te recomiendo que comas directo en la barra con el sushiman que te prepara tu comida. También que ordenes solo sashimi & niguiris porque los rolls no son tan buenos. El servicio deja mucho que desear, solo hablan portugués así que es difícil entenderse. De todos modos, tenes que venir si estás de visita en Río!

It's expanded and has a nice bright enclosed patio with skylights to let in the natural light. Unfortunately in the process of making the restaurant bigger they had to make the grocery store a little smaller. Somehow it seems like they don't quite carry all the same items. I hadn't tried the restaurant out before so we have it a go. I had two nigiri pieces of salmon and salmon skin. The salmon was fine, nothing special (neither amazingly fresh or tentatively old). The salmon skin was a little less impressive. I would have liked it to be crispier like deep fried and crunchy but it was a little greasy and soft. Next was the gyoza (dumplings), which again I prefer to be slightly pan fried and crispy on the outside. They provided very little sauce to dip them in. The yakisoba was quite salty and the sauce was really heavy. We couldn't eat much of it. I would suggest to stick with the udon, which was in a decent broth and the tempura was crispy and tasty. This is probably the best dish we got. Overall the restaurant was average. The grocery store portion looked nice in presentation but probably has the same selection as many of the casa vita stores.
