Maybe the best Korean restaurant I have been in the World…read more The place, with young modern vibes, is simple, in a dodgy, off the beaten track area, but people behind the counters are extraordinary and know what they are doing. From the cocktails to the desserts, everything we tasted was just amazing. Service is attentive and super helpful. From a small menu,Traditional Korean dishes are prepared with little twists that give crunchiness and enhance the flavors. Portions are satisfying and beautifully presented. If you like Korean food, this is a must go in Sao Paulo.

4.6 | this was my first Michelin Star experience and it was fantastic. we ordered the special five…read morecourse to share among four, and then the japchae and the dolsot bibimbap. It was an incredible experience. there wasn't a bad dish at all. the star for me was the sesame dessert, the pork belly, and the kalbi. I am floored by their ability to hold to traditional Korean dish elements, like the banchan, and the essence and flavours, but still being such a refreshing and unique approach to the dishes. the pork belly almost knocked me out of my chair. the intensity of the flavour, coupled with the tenderness was just magical. I appreciated the kimchi rice and egg because the egg added such a soft and delicate balance to the meal without being over powering or tasting like egg. such a big fan of the desserts, both were so different. we got the sesame and the merengue. it was a beautiful balance of flavours. I would say the sesame took the cake [pun intended], because the flavours were so perfectly balanced. not too sweet, not too savory, just a nice expression of the sesame through intentional flavours. their drinks were also quite delightful. the "only and" was my favourite. this spot is listed on many "must" lists in São Paulo, and of course just very pleased to be visiting these incredibly awarded Michelin star restaurants while here. one a day for five days straight, so I'll keep sharing as we visit more.

All the staff are from Peru; what makes the experience even more credible! The place is simple, loud and it's not about cozy, comfortable and beauty, only taste! Price is another great point: extremely honest. Believe. A con is that it's always extremely full and have line to seat. Just be aware about it. I've tried many dishes and You must choose the classic Ceviche. Also all the plates with rice and do not get out there without trying the homemade Alfajor. It's a must.

This review was pre-COVID (Nov/2020)…read more This was the best experience I've ever had eating sushi. Omakase is an experience in itself but Jun makes it remarkable. I've been to Michelin restaurants before and I have never talked to the head chef as much as I did when dinning at his restaurant. He is extremely friendly, personable and funny - and obviously very knowledgeable about what he does. Also, please keep in mind this is a Michelin restaurant. Jun has worked his a** off and made his name for a reason. Quality comes with a price. Excellence comes with an even higher price. Remember you're paying for all that. I will definitely come back not only for the food - we knew that would be amazing - but Jun makes it an experience you won't forget. Parabéns Jun!

An Izakaya is first and foremost a neighborhood bar that serves drinks and bar food. This place did…read morea great job making me feel welcome, offering me a menu in English as we greeted. There were certainly plenty of Japanese speaking customers mixed in with Portuguese. And I, the odd tourist, felt right at home. The bamboo shoot and shitake mushroom appetizers were delectable. The chicken broth ramen was insipid. The Gyukatsu Kare (breaded fried beef with curry sauce over rice) was better, but not the ultra crispy panko planks I've had in some places. Maybe it was because I ordered it at the end of the night. The Brazilian brewed cold sake was really good. Could hardly tell the difference from Japanese sake. But, the highlight of the dinner of Sanma Shio--grilled pike mackerel with sea salt. Inexpensive for Sanma, uber fresh, grilled crispy so that you could crunch up the head and tail! The service was prompt, efficient and very warm. Even the owner came by to chat several times. Arigato gozaimasu! Obrigado! Thank you.

It's not bad... We went here at night and to be totally honest we didn't feel that great about the…read morerelative safety of the neighborhood we were in. It felt a bit sketchy. Something to keep in mind if you're considering going here and you're a visitor. Other than that, the food is pretty standard izakaya fare- not that much of a Brazilian influence from what we could tell. And we're very familiar with the genre (tons of these in the NYC) so we knew what to expect. The food is pretty tasty and the service was pretty good. The restaurant kinda feels like you walked into someone's kitchen which is pretty interesting. But overall we've actually had much better Japanese food. So there's that. But not a bad option if you're looking for something completely different in São Paulo.

Everything from kimchee to tofu and more. The spacious restaurant is equipped with BBQ tables - the kind that allow you to cook your meat tabletop and while we opted for the already prepared galbi, next time I'l order the meat to cook ourselves. The Doenjang Jjigae soup we ordered was also good and paired nicely with the soju and beer (sadly they don't have Korean beer). I'll certainly be back.
