AMBIANCE: Parking: It's generally rough in Niteroi so we just Ubered, otherwise good luck with street parking. Seating: Plenty of seating, mainly for groups. There's room for about 50 people in the spot. Feels: It's near downtown Niteroi so you're close to a popping spot with locals and tourist. It's a pretty well lit and organized spot. I dig the vibrant colors and the minimal Japanese art. What made it comforting on my end was the pop acoustic music like Ed Sheeran. Great place for Japanese food and in the need to feast especially all you can eat (read below) FOOD: All You Can Eat Now I can't remember everything we ate...but we ate a lot. Overall the fish was fresh and the selections were plentiful. What really hooked me was the passionfruit salmon sashimi. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly people! They followed up on us timely which was excellent! TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Plentiful selections, fresh food, and great service. I know when in Brazil, do Brazilian things but Brazilian-Japanese sushi counts. This place delivers so if you're in the area craving some sushi, this is your spot; I know I will. TIPS: * They run out of salmon skin so make sure you get some of that.

We ordered the veggie combo, which wasn't all that bad, but the kale dumplings were inedible! The cheese was so potent it ruined the flavors of everything else. I will say that the server was very very nice and helpful! He recommended great drinks and did his best to help us choose veggie options. 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!

The sandwich was okay, though I suspect there were ungodly amounts of mayo in there. The milkshake, I got out of novelty, since it's made with green corn flavoring. You can definitely taste the corn, but it was way too sweet for me. I prefer Girafas for fast food, but it was closed at the time.

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!

The buffet menu is all you can eat. The decor is not what I would say typical Japan resturant but it was comfortable even if not all the chairs matched. The staff were helpful with everything. I liked that you could see where your food was being prepared when you went up for salad. They have a good selection of wines,spirits and the Local beer selection was outstanding. I'm not a sushi fan but I have to say that the quality, price and service made me a fan of this Resturant. If I had time to eat here again I would. The only bug, no wifi, I'm a traveller in a foreign country I need some wifi to Yelp!!!!

It's expanded and has a nice bright enclosed patio with skylights to let in the natural light. Unfortunately in the process of making the restaurant bigger they had to make the grocery store a little smaller. Somehow it seems like they don't quite carry all the same items. I hadn't tried the restaurant out before so we have it a go. I had two nigiri pieces of salmon and salmon skin. The salmon was fine, nothing special (neither amazingly fresh or tentatively old). The salmon skin was a little less impressive. I would have liked it to be crispier like deep fried and crunchy but it was a little greasy and soft. Next was the gyoza (dumplings), which again I prefer to be slightly pan fried and crispy on the outside. They provided very little sauce to dip them in. The yakisoba was quite salty and the sauce was really heavy. We couldn't eat much of it. I would suggest to stick with the udon, which was in a decent broth and the tempura was crispy and tasty. This is probably the best dish we got. Overall the restaurant was average. The grocery store portion looked nice in presentation but probably has the same selection as many of the casa vita stores.

It was pretty busy and I didn't know what to expect with the mixed reviews. We ordered green tea, hot filadelfia, spicy tuna, California rainbow and creme de papaya com cassis.
