The order was very fresh & tasty .I was given a large piece of wasabi with ginger. This meal was 48 reals or $12.00 US dollars FYI all portions in Brasil are smaller than USA ...The sushi is half the size you find in America.Though the quality and taste are there... The service and folks were excellent.

Stop everything you're doing and order from here.

Sushi is creative, including the typical Brazilian fusion (hot rolls, i.e., sushi roll with cream cheese deep fried), but also including unique combos such as tamago (egg) sushi with a liquid quail egg that pops in your mouth. The fish roe were massive and delicious. The smoked white fish was also incredible - that was new for me, never seen in the US before. Love this place.

Here is my two cents on the food and chatter. I found this restaurant through Uber eats I was…read moresurprised that there was a brisket sandwich in Brazil. The sandwich and my potato salad were quite small as seen in the perspective of adding my glasses next to the two items. The brisket was very tender it has the caramelized onion as I requested for an additional for Real. I also requested barbecue sauce but was unable to add it even though I would've paid the extra 4 real for it. The potato salad was just basically mayonnaise some chives and small bits of potato just mediocre at best nothing to impress you with. The food was good for Brasil....as per Brasil, the portions were very small compared to the United States. Just something different to break up the small ole cuisine of Brasil.

They said come back at 7. So we walked toward south a few steps and saw a Spanish and Chinese restaurants. We picked the Spanish, oh how I would love to have paella. But the young maid said to me in a low voice: "just you know this is a Spanish, the Chinese is next door." So here we're, the unwanted guests -:) The location is excellent, on the second floor, looking out to the Copacabana Beach. A silver of Hotel Emile can be spotted from the windows. The decor is 1972, the year they started in business. The service is good, other than messed up order - my best guess is language barrier - me not speaking Portuguese. Does Irene speak anything at all? Not really We've pickled cucumbers, mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐and eggs with tomato 番茄炒鸡蛋. They totally forgot the cucumber and eggs tomatoes became eggs and ham. Their food is so much better than Canton. And this is the only meal that we finished everything, a small feast. They're kind enough to charge our phone - thank you.
