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. The décor is tasteful and classically charming. Their prices are very, very reasonable for the quality of their food creations. I would say that Sushi Yoshi is one of the top 2 or 3 sushi restaurants in the Northeast of Brazil, so it goes without saying that I highly recommend this restaurant.

We came here for dinner and had a very nice time! The restaurant is sparsely decorated, like many…read moreJapanese restaurants, but still has a cozy feel. The upstairs dining room is larger, but I ate downstairs so I could watch the sushi chefs (which is part of the fun for me of eating sushi). The sushi we had was not only beautifully served (see the photos), but very fresh and delicious. 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.

Excellent! This restaurante is in fact creative. We ordered a hot starter and the temperature was…read moreadequate also the sauce was very suitable. Then, we ordered 2 salmon combos with 21 peaches that were diverse, delicious, and very satisfying. The localization is also great, there is a private parking the place has 2 environments (indoors and outdoors) which makes it very cozy! I'd say it is a good option for couples and small group of friends: for large groups and long meals Id recommend something else, this is a place to appreciate the food!

We came back here last weekend to give HAO another try and I am glad that we did. The crowd was…read morenot big for a Saturday night, but it wasn't empty either. The food and service were back to the standard that I had hoped to find the last time we ate here. Our waiter Giovanni was excellent--the service was attentive and he made suggestions as we ordered. We enjoyed all the dishes we tried and we didn't have to wait long for them to be served. They serve a type of Asian-Brazilian fusion. The place is very attractively decorated; they have valet parking, but I had no trouble finding a parking spot on my own. They told me that after 11 PM, that they push the tables back and it becomes a club (but I didn't stick around for that). After our latest experience, I won't wait so long to dine here again.
