To start I loved the fact that they had such a variety of Sushi and the service was great. The Ambiance was nice too. Clean and inviting as well. Since this was a long time ago review. I may not remember the dishes I ordered, but I do appreciate the memories and the fact that everything taste good. I hope one day I'll be able to return and eat at this establishment again. Enjoy!!! obrigado

One of the better sushi restaurants in Curitiba. The sushi is fresh. The cool thing with Azuki is…read morethat it is a rodizo of sushi on a conveyor belt. So you just sit at your table and the sushi passes your table on the belt. If you like it, then you take the plate. If you don't like it, then just leave it on the belt and someone else can take it. The rodizo is a little less than R$70. If you come in during lunch, then you have the option of choosing to do the rodizo by plate or an all you can eat at a fixed price. However, if you're a big eater, there's no way you're going to pay R$6.70 / plate. What I also like about Azuki (besides the fact that they have free wifi ... Just ask them for the password) is that if you want to specifically order something, you can and don't have to wait. Sometimes, the chef will put the food on the conveyor belt so you have to pray that nobody else takes it before it reaches you. Other times, the waiters will directly bring you the plate. I wanted some wasabi so the chef put a plate of wasabi on the conveyor belt for me but I didn't see it so the waiter actually pointed at the wasabi as it was passing so that I could grab Azuki has a fenced off parking right next to the restaurant and they have a guy who they pay to watch over the cars. This isn't really a valet service where you have to pay the guy but if the lot is full, you can give him your keys and he will park it. Just remember to tip him because he is a struggling student composer. Seriously, he is. but he's super friendly so I gave him some money to help him out.

Best restaurant in Curtibia - they serve Japanese food with a Peruvian twist. Beautiful atmosphere…read more Awesome cocktails - the Nou and the Pisco Passion were my two personal favorites. I highly recommend the ceviche and nigiri samplers. I wish they had the omakase, many items on the menu were no longer available. Next time I go, I want to try some of the scallop dishes which looked pretty interesting. It's better to arrive early, once it gets packed the food can take a very long time. Only complaints: Wifi didn't work. It seemed like they seared nigiri with a blowtorch which gave a slightly gassy flavor. Dessert took a very long time to arrive, but they remediated the situation.

Everything was really good, until the dessert came - a green tea and passion fruit verrine, that didn't taste at all like green tea and had an extremely acid passion fruit kind of syrup. It's plating was on point, but the taste ruined it all, which was really disappointing. The price was OK, expected for a Japanese restaurant. It would be fair if the dessert wasn't so hard to eat.

Came here with a group of people and thought the food was mediocre (but keep in mind, I am a sushi…read moresnob - I've had omakase numberous of times at very authentic Japanese restaurants and I have yet to find something in Curitiba that matches up). Not the best Japanese food in the area but the service was good as well as the presentation of the food. They have a wide variety of items on the menu - so for people that don't eat seafood - there's still a lot of options for you :) The ambiance is pretty nice - it's got a cozy feel to it. We ordered sushi, sashimi and some kitchen items. I would say the hot roll (which is a cooked roll) was my favorite.. typically I like raw fish better but this definitely hit the spot and we ordered more. I thought the shrimp tempura was a little too fried and doughy. The dessert was good - I ordered my favorite while I'm in Brazil, which would be the Papaya Cream.

I will start with the fact that it is difficult dining out when you don't speak the language, but…read morefood is all about the flavor. Although this was one of the better sushi places I've been to in Brazil (3 and counting), I can say that I enjoyed my meal, but it wasn't the best In that the maguro sashimi still had a lot of gristly stringy fiber trailing one end. I'm sure it is just the way it was cut, but not appetizing to see on what should be a fresh cut piece of raw tuna. I've noticed Salmon seems to be the common choice here in Brazil. I'm not sure if the white sashimi was ahi or not, but it did have a not as fresh as can be flavor. As much as this review sound negative, I would go back and try other dishes or even more sushi. It could of been the day I went, but overall I enjoyed my meal. The presentation was nice and I appreciated the service I received from servers, who were being patient with my lack of the local language.
