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.

Great atmosphere and really fresh tasting sashimi. The staff was really welcoming and were willing…read moreto give explanations about every plate. The prices were a little too salty but definitely worth it! A must go in Rio!

We, my wife and I, visited Benkei on a Sunday afternoon to enjoy their sushi buffet. The offerings…read moreinclude a variety of fresh sushi, rolls, hot dishes, and salads. We had salmon sashimi brought to the table. Everything seemed fresh, and was tasty, but nothing was extraordinary - after all this is, for the most part, a buffet. Whenever we visit Rio, we try to make it stop at one of the Benkei restaurants. Prices are more than fair and the menu is ample. This one in Shopping Metropolitano stands out because of the restaurant itself. It has more space than the other Benkei restaurants, and offers seating on a really nice outdoor terrace. It's a good place to come if you want a sushi fix and you're really hungry.

Great sushi restaurant in my hotel…read more The sushi is very fresh and the majority of it had great flavors. All of the salmon that we ordered had a strong lemon taste like it had been bathed in lemon juice. Our server was attentive but a little pushy with suggestions. I wanted a Vodka and Soda and he insisted on adding sugar to it to make it like a Tom Collin's. Will definitely there again during my trip.

As we had sushi last night we didn't really look for another Jap place. But the look and the feel of Gurumê was extremely tempting. We finally decided to give it a try. We agreed to just order little beat of everything and share all of it together. We started with wagu plate and fish of the day with jalapeños. Follow by sushi plate wit 6 dishes. The food was absolutely wonderful and fresh. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was great. The place made u feel inside but out. Great concept. The jalapeño daily fish was so so so wonderful we have decided to have another plate. All of it was finished by wonderful desert (browny with vanilla ice cream). Overall this was extremely memorable experience of Rio for me. I would recommend this place to all. We will be back next year for sure.
