Our faves were the Jim Bean Mango, Lychee with Basil, the Kobe Tataki, and the Uramaki Ebitem Special - if i'm ever back i would go again and would hope to see Fernando again!

They were sold out of absolutely everything (that you'd want to order anyway) when we came. None of the good cuts of fatty tuna, no toro, no churro, no sea urchin, etc. All of our first choices from the menu were unavailable, which they only let us know while we were ordering. They didn't even have wasabi (which they charge you for anyway), how on Earth does a Sushi restaurant run out of wasabi???How can they properly make any sushi without a key ingredient? From what they did have: the salmon belly, tamago, and scallop were just OK. The Kobe dumplings were not good at all, tasted like cheap meat. No way they're actually made with Kobe beef. Cocktails were decent though, and a bit boozy. Prices were OK for the neighborhood. Might've been 2/5 but I'm guessing I caught them on a bad day, and I'm inclined towards generosity.

For those wandering along the beach, looking for a spot to grab a drink or bite to eat after sunset, this corner spot is a great option. And because they're connected to a hotel, they're often open when many other restaurants are closed. My favorite part is that you can sit outside on a cushioned bench (same side of the bench for the romantic ones) and still see the water and the mountains off in the distance (during the daylight). I've gone for dinner and lunch and while the menu never changes, it's a solid, convenient spot for those in Leblon. My friend and I went for dinner and enjoyed a caipivodka (I recommend the caipiruby if you like berries). The meal was sashimi, niguiri, and temaki but for those of you craving un-Japanese items, there's a full and totally opposite menu for you to enjoy (hamburgers are great, I hear). Go because it's convenient and beautifully located, but don't go expecting a busy scene or anything like that.

While I wouldn't recommend a long taxi ride to enjoy this place, it's great for anyone in the Leblon neighborhood and is casual and good enough to enjoy a few times a week. I typically order the tuna nigiri along with the tuna temaki. You won't find creative rolls here, but the basics are fully covered. They also have hot ones like the crunchy salmon Philadelphia roll; but that's about as creative as it gets. Go with a friend, order some sake (or a capisake) and sit outdoors or inside the (air-conditioned) petite restaurant.
