SUSHI YOSHI (Recife) The thing I really like about Recife is…read morethat there are some really great sushi restaurants here. This was our first time dining here, but I was so impressed, that it certainly won't be my last. Unlike most sushi restaurants, the first thing I noticed was that the sushi is not "jumbo" sized, but properly bite-sized. The presentation of their platters is artistic and they have some beautiful creations that I've never encountered elsewhere. The service is professional, but not overly fawning.

I also had a cooked dish of swordfish ("meca" in Portuguese), and while it was attractive, the fish was so overcooked that it was dry and tough, despite the fact that I asked the server to make sure the fish was on the underdone side. If not for this plate, I would've given the restaurant a better score. This isn't the best Japanese restaurant in Recife, but it's still pretty good--just stick with the sushi.

Worst gioza we've ever had. Quality of the fish was not impressive either. Overly priced for…read moremediocre or straight up bad food.
