    This is supposedly one of the best ramen houses in São Paulo, and because of that, this place gets…read morefilled up pretty quickly. Be prepared to wait or come early! Upon walking in, the establishment is bright and smartly decorated. Behind the bar, you can see the ramen chefs working their magic into each bowl. The ramen itself is decently priced (definitely cheaper than the US!), though I was a little disappointed that their tonkotsu ramen wasn't really made from tonkotsu broth, but rather, it was salt or soy based. That being said, it was more than enough to satisfy my ramen craving.

    The best way to cure a São Paolo cachaça ressaca is to brave a ride on the metro to Liberdade.

Note the "oh, this is gonna be good" vibe when you enter for the first time. It's been a family-run Liberdade staple for many years and is usually packed with locals at most times of the day. At lunch there may be a wait, however the Maitre-D flips tables fast. Aska serves up big bowls of delicious Ramen and Beef/vegetarian gyozi. Food comes fast, and udon noodle refills are often necessary. Chimchi, cold pickled vegetable salad is also tasty. Goes along well with an agua com gas or Guarana Antarctica. Prices are reasonable for what you get. "Ressaca? Que ressaca??" - Brazilian you

    Everybody knows that Sao Paulo is the best city to eat great Japanese food outside Japan. I always…read morehad great experiences eating at Izakaya Issa, one of the best Japanese food I have already had (different from te sushi-sashimi we are use to). I have never been in Japan, but I heard that Izakaya Issa is very authentic and traditional. The ladies working there are always very friendly, and Dona Margarida Haraguchi, the owner, is so sweet and conversationist! The star dishes from the place is the octopus balls (really creamy and well-flavored) and the ramen!

    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.

    Was craving ramen because of an Anime I watched the other day so I ended up skipping the gua bao,…read moreeven though it looked great. 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.

    Great new Taiwanese restaurant in Liberdade. The speciality is pork buns and they are smashing. I…read morehaven't tried the other food on the menu - fried chicken/squid or the noodles. 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.
