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.

Great atmosphere and really fresh tasting sashimi. The staff was really welcoming and were willing…read moreto give explanations about every plate. The prices were a little too salty but definitely worth it! A must go in Rio!

After having Brazilian food for almost 2 weeks, my husband just felt like getting his sushi fix…read more This place was recommended by our Brazilian friends and someone we ran into at the hotel lounge. 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!

It was tough and not fresh. The pork belly bao was not even pork belly and instead was shredded dry pork with a chewy bao bun. The fried chicken appetizer was not good either. Every single thing we ate was bad! On top of that, the prices are very expensive! The only grace I can give this place is that the restaurant is cute and nicely designed.

The rice was mushy and almost inedible, the quality of the fish was as if they bought from a regular supermarket instead of a fish market. Overall, I was extremely disappointed and dissatisfied!

We had salmon sashimi brought to the table. Everything seemed fresh, and was tasty, but nothing was extraordinary - after all this is, for the most part, a buffet. Whenever we visit Rio, we try to make it stop at one of the Benkei restaurants. Prices are more than fair and the menu is ample. This one in Shopping Metropolitano stands out because of the restaurant itself. It has more space than the other Benkei restaurants, and offers seating on a really nice outdoor terrace. It's a good place to come if you want a sushi fix and you're really hungry.
