Falando neles, o serviço é bem fraco, boa sorte tentando conseguir a atenção de um deles. E os 10% já vem incluso mesmo assim. Recomendo pular esse estabelecimento.

Solid Ramen restaurant in the Liberdade (Japantown) neighborhood of São Paulo. All the Ramens we…read moregot had a good balance of savory and salty flavors except the E.A.K. Shoyu Tonkotsu, which was too salty. Gyozas were on the smaller side but were quite tasty and crunchy. Service was reasonably paced and everything we ordered came out piping hot.

You can easily get full for less than $20 USD!

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.

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.

The wait to get seated was a bit longer than I expected…read more When I saw on the menu, I went straight for the tsukemen. I asked for the noodles to be undercooked and a bit hard when served. The noodles were undercooked a little, but not quite al dente, the broth was rich without being heavy, but could have been a bit hotter and the portion felt just right. In all, a very good meal, but not quite great enough for that 5th star in my mind. The place stayed busy and a bit noisy, but the service never strayed from being friendly and efficient. With drink, the total was just over R$100

My brother had the wanton ramen and his lady had hers with taiwanese sausage. I ordered shio ramen with pork belly and wheat noodles (you can get harussame or ho fun instead) and braised pork belly as a topping. We ordered fried squid and gyoza for the table. The gyoza dough was a little thicker than that of the other Taiwanese restaurants nearby, the filling rich in Chinese leeks and umami served unremarkable sweet and sour sauce on the side. The squid was crunchy and light without being too chewy. Unlike most restaurants in this area, the hot tea was not complimentary and they didn't have any green tea so we went with a cup of oolong each. There's something about the pepper in Taiwanese and Chinese restaurants. It's usually very strong although it doesn't overpower the flavors of the food. We sat upstairs as the few table downstairs were full. Pity the table next to us was very loud, with one guy practicing his monologue about whatever. Other than having a douche ranting for a soundtrack, our experience was pretty enjoyable.

Though if the pork bun is enough to go by then I have high hopes. The pork bun is a meal by itself so you probably won't be needing another plate. The pork is juicy and tender and the bread is soft, however sadly not as pure as other pork buns I've tried. Albeit at 14 reais it's a great bargain for a quick dinner.
