We sat outside on the front patio. After ordering some sake and a Brazilian beer, I went with the chicken kaarage. This classic dish always delivers and it didn't disappoint at Pabu. It was served with a nice dipping sauce. While not a large portion, it was a yummy dish. Service was standard. If you're looking for some Japanese fare in Rio, check out Pabu!

My friend recommended me this place so I had good expectations. I went on a Wednesday and…read moresurprisingly it was really crowded. The hostess was not friendly! We had to check with her several times if our table was ready, but she just kept saying that it wasn't without justifying what could be happening. It took us approximately one hour and half to finally get a table. At least they placed us in a really nice spot, almost like a private space, so we kind of forgave the delay, but not the hostess attitude. The food was really good!! I'm a vegetarian and there were a lot of options for me there, surprisingly very tasty. My friends ate the normal "rodizio" and were very pleased. The waiters were also very friendly, so I think I would come back.

We also had left our sunglasses at the restaurant and they were honest and gave them back to us the next day! Maybe the fist/meat dishes are better!

I ordered vegetable tempura and it was shredded carrot and onion battered and dropped in the fryer. It came out as a feast sticky ball. I showed them a picture of tempura on Google images and they said it was because I ordered a combo, so I didn't get the "real" tempura. Also got some greasy fried rolls that had CHEESE in them. Japanese cheese rolls? Miso soup was way too salty. Hotel desk staff recommended Satyricon for Japanese . I would have assumed Italian.

I was waiting for a friend and didn't flag anyone over so I'll give them that. Once we sat down inside it took some asking to get another menu and quite a while to get our order in. The waiter looked like a new and young guy who didn't know what he was doing and didn't offer us an drink options. Lunch is a smaller menu then dinner. It comes with a few special commemorative dishes for their 10 yr anniversary. They also offer sushi sets and a few options for entradas (appetizers), principais (main course) and sobremesas (desserts). You can choose a entrada and principais or a principais and sobremesa or all three of you're hungry. The salmon tartare entrada is delicious, lightly seasoned with sesame seeds, in the top of a martini glass on a layer of white cream. It's quite filling and of generous size. I had the crispy shrimp in a gorgeous presentation around a mound of coconut rice. It was very tasty. The shrimp had their shells on but where crispy like soft crab. It was accompanied by a mild but complimentary cocktail sauce. My friend tried the pad Thai and said it was decent, which is sometimes hard to find around here. For dessert I tried the bananas flambé and it was a great presentation when she lit the alcohol on fire (see video). The caramelized sugar was delicious. It took a while to get our bill and even longer to get change! But all in all, if you have some time to spare the food is excellent if you can be patient with the service.

Togu is a small Japanese restaurant in the heart of the gastronomic area of Leblon neighbourhood,…read morein Rio de Janeiro. Dias Ferreira is a street packed with good options in terms of high end restaurants. Nevertheless, if you fancy a good all you can eat Japanese menu, or fancy a small meal, this could be the place for you (do not go for the all you can eat meal, choosing a la carte choices since there are really nice dishes to choose as well). If you love sushi and cannot stop eating them, go for the all you can eat option (rodízio in Portuguese). Sashimis are really fresh as it would be expected for a high end restaurant like Togu. Quality of hot Philadelphia is superb. For those who are not familiar with this warm sushi with salmon and cream cheese, try this one, with the crusty outside simply perfect. After eating so much I could barely speak, I was presented with the included desert: a delicious apple and cinnamon harumaki with cinnamon ice cream. Absolutely spot on. The only downsides are the high price, which is expected for that area and sort of quality anyway, and the exclusion of the all you can eat menu of all the pieces containing any sort of roe.
