After having Brazilian food for almost 2 weeks, my husband just felt like getting his sushi fix…read more This place was recommended by our Brazilian friends and someone we ran into at the hotel lounge. The sushi was very fresh according to my husband. At first, we had our doubts about how good the sushi could be in Brazil since it's not Asia. But after trying it, we wanted to go back! I had the pork bun and mushrooms and they were delicious! The service was good too. Our server was very patient with us using Google Translate since we don't speak Portuguese. The place was also very nice and trendy. Even the bathroom was fancy. They had a Japanese TOTO toilet!

My wife and I experienced Naga for the first time and LOVED it. Located in a super-upscale mall in…read moreBarra da Tijuca, this restaurant is really excellent. First off, this is the freshest fish we've had in Rio in the last 20 years. For me, this is the single biggest factor in a sushi spot. Also, the menu is ample - loads of hit and cool Japanese foods. We started with Hana Nira - garlic sprouts. Warm with lovely teriyaki-type sauce. Then, we had grilled octopus. It was really good...perhaps a bit chewy. Our main course was a Combinagi platter of sushi, sashimi, and rolls. Five types of fish were on this combo platter. Everything was tasty and terrific. Little to no wasabi on the sushi so you might request more wasabi if you really want that heat. For dessert, we had the creme brulee crepe with apples and ice cream. Amazing. The golden-buttery sauce was off the charts delicious.

As mentioned in other reviews, the way this place works is you get 10 courses. But it's really an…read moreall-you-can-eat place as they allow you to repeat any previous courses you liked before they finally bring you dessert. You don't really order off a menu, they just start you off by asking about any dietary restrictions and then they just serve whatever they're serving. After that, the food comes out *quick*. Except for a couple of pauses in the action, the courses are brought out almost on top of each other. I wouldn't say that this place is a Japanese place. It's more Japanese fusion. They start you off with plates of sushi and sashimi, but it eventually started to include dishes like fried boar, a collection of ceviches, and (post-meal) they offer a Brazilian favorite - fried shrimp skewers. My personal favorites were the boar, smoked squid sashimi, the octopus ceviche, and the banana brulee desert; but all of the food they brought out was top notch. As of this writing, our meal came out to R$ 100/person, which is like $28. Hachiko is a tremendous bargain. It's located in downtown Rio and away from the tourist area, so I'd advise having someone there that is at least somewhat comfortable communicating in Portuguese. But other than that, I'd definitely advise having dinner here for anyone traveling to Rio.
