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.

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.

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.
