If you're looking to skip the comida de rua though, I recommend heading to Tanka for their belly-filling buffet. To find the restaurant, look up, it's on the 2nd floor of what appears to be a hotel. There's a balcony where people may be eating, so that should give it away. While I'm not a buffet person, the spread here is pretty amazing and fresh. You can enjoy savory noodles, sushi, meat skewers, fried rice, desserts (hello, mochi and froyo). There's plenty to fill up on, especially if you have a hankering for carbohydrates.

For those of you that are looking for a decent place to fill your stomach, i would definitely…read moresuggest that you visit Tanka. It is located smack in the middle of Liberdade, right across Liberdade Square (Praça da Liberdade) and the Liberdade Metrô Station (Line 1-Blue). It is actually located on the second floor of a hotel, but out on the front of the building is a noticeable sign that explains the pricing of the buffet. It is an Asian buffet (a mix of Chinese, Korean and Japanese offerings), complete with a whole variety of textures and styles. There is even a section dedicated for fried/skewered foods and a noodle bar (udon/ramen) Along with the food, there is also a dessert bar which is included in the price. Another welcome feature of this place is that you can pay about R$8 (around US $2.55 in today's conversion rate) for unlimited drink refills (soft drinks and ice tea). Those of you that have been in Brasil know that drink refills are not the norm here, so it is a relief that you won't have to keep spending money on more drinks The place is pretty big: there is the main dining area, an outdoor patio and a separate indoor area for a more private setting. Even so, you can definitely expect a huge crowd at almost any hour which you might visit Most of us that have experience with Asian buffets in the States may have come across those that are dirty or something off. To me, Tanka is pretty clean, well-run and the most important part... the food didn't seem funky and overdone. i actually went tonight to eat with a friend and there was this Chinese dish made with squid, peapods and carrots. Oh man, it was pretty fresh, lightly seasoned and with crunchy peapods... definitely my favourite offering of the night Tanka may not be cheap and perhaps not the best buffet in São Paulo, but i have nothing really to complain about here

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.

I'm guessing a lot of their family members have left reviews here. It's not a good place guys…read more They charge around 400 reais ($80) for 3 meals which is exorbitant in Brazil. You'd think they could get better proteins for that price. The proteins are substandard, stringy and full of cartilage and connective tissue. The cuts of meat that they use require low and slow heating, but they get the rapid, high heat wok treatment instead. The worst part is they use styrofoam containers for their delivery service and they pour the dish into the styrofoam while it's boiling hot. The styrofoam melts and becomes part of your meal which is evidenced by little white dots suspended in your meal once it cools. Imagino que muitos familiares deles deixaram avaliações aqui. Não é um bom lugar, pessoal. Eles cobram cerca de 400 reais (US$ 80) por 3 refeições, o que é exorbitante no Brasil. Você pensaria que eles conseguiriam proteínas melhores por esse preço. As proteínas são de baixa qualidade, fibrosas e cheias de cartilagem e tecido conjuntivo. Os cortes de carne que eles usam precisam de aquecimento baixo e lento, mas recebem o tratamento wok rápido e em alta temperatura. A pior parte é que eles usam recipientes de isopor para o serviço de entrega e despejam o prato no isopor enquanto está fervendo. O isopor derrete e passa a fazer parte da sua refeição, o que fica evidente por pequenos pontos brancos suspensos na refeição quando ela esfria

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.

We were brought a bunch of items we didn't really want, so sort of wasteful. I ordered salmon and tuna nigiri and was brought salmon nigiri and a weak tuna roll.

After their investigation through Internet and a kind of survey with other Koreans living in the country, they finally concluded that this was the best Korean restaurant in São Paulo and so far, I agree with them. In the heart of the traditional Korean town of Bom Retiro, as other restaurants of similar cuisine, one issue that needs to be adapted to local customs is their working hours: specially at night, they close quite early for Brazilian standard. Apart from that, the dishes are very well executed. If you are a beginner on Korean cuisine, better try "Seok Joung Combinado" which can be individual or for sharing by two. It comes with a little bit of each traditional dish, including soup, rice, Korean style sashimi and others that may vary daily. And the price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity. If you know a little more about Korean food, then try the other dishes in the menu with no fear. A Korean to be called authentic.
