Our faves were the Jim Bean Mango, Lychee with Basil, the Kobe Tataki, and the Uramaki Ebitem Special - if i'm ever back i would go again and would hope to see Fernando again!

The place looks really cool…read moreand appears to have an authentic dry aging fridge for the fish (which first made me think this place would offer high quality and authentic food). They were sold out of absolutely everything (that you'd want to order anyway) when we came. None of the good cuts of fatty tuna, no toro, no churro, no sea urchin, etc. All of our first choices from the menu were unavailable, which they only let us know while we were ordering. They didn't even have wasabi (which they charge you for anyway), how on Earth does a Sushi restaurant run out of wasabi???How can they properly make any sushi without a key ingredient? From what they did have: the salmon belly, tamago, and scallop were just OK. The Kobe dumplings were not good at all, tasted like cheap meat. No way they're actually made with Kobe beef. Cocktails were decent though, and a bit boozy. Prices were OK for the neighborhood. Might've been 2/5 but I'm guessing I caught them on a bad day, and I'm inclined towards generosity.

Found this spot right across the street from Venga and couldn't find it on yelp. We had to go check…read moreit out. It was a Japanese restaurant that serves sushi and izakaya. The sushi was delicious, so if you can't get that reservation at sushi Leblon, there's two solid fallback restaurants (this and Togu) both just down the street. The presentation was excellent and the taste was great. We got the duplo of unagi (eel) and a specialty roll. We also ordered the salmon tartare which had a great presentation- a small column covered with roe and accompanied with crispy cassava chips. The yakisoba was a little disappointing and came with a over grilled dry and salty chicken fillet which was tough to eat. The worst part here unfortunately was the service. We had ordered a small 120mL bottle of sake for R$26 but the waitress brought it upon herself to open a bigger bottle since there were two of us. When we confronted her about it, she made it seem like the bottle was already opened. The bill came out to R$80 bottle, which was rather sneaky, since that wasn't what we ordered. I think the worst part of thee service was that it took her nearly 30 minutes for her to bring us the check after we asked. Too bad, I thought this place could have potential. Guess next time we'll just have it delivered.

We had to check with her several times if our table was ready, but she just kept saying that it wasn't without justifying what could be happening. It took us approximately one hour and half to finally get a table. At least they placed us in a really nice spot, almost like a private space, so we kind of forgave the delay, but not the hostess attitude. The food was really good!! I'm a vegetarian and there were a lot of options for me there, surprisingly very tasty. My friends ate the normal "rodizio" and were very pleased. The waiters were also very friendly, so I think I would come back.

We also had left our sunglasses at the restaurant and they were honest and gave them back to us the next day! Maybe the fist/meat dishes are better!
