If you want a sushi place, that's the point. But watch out if the restaurant is really what you are looking for: 1 - It costs between R$ (32 - 36) per person and you can eat all sushi you want. 2 - Drinks, and special orders (such as sashimy) is paid aside. 3 - On the weekends you usually have to wait almost one hour to get a table. 4 - When the restaurant is really crowded, sometimes the orders might take a while and it is hard to change table. That being said, that is one of the top sushi places in Recife, I love it. read more

Good Japanese restaurant. The all you can eat system is affordable and the menu is well designed and attractive. All portions are small and have a nice presentation. The food is nicely done but the overall menu is a little limited in comparison with other similar places that I've been and the sashimi is not included. Overall, recommended! read more

Top sushi place in Recife. Price is very good and the quality is great. Just be aware that you might wait to get a table.

Excellent Japanese/sushi restaurant in a nice neighborhood…read more The quality and service were both exceptional, with traditional and well-made sushi, hand rolls, gyoza and tempura, not to mention a nice wine/beer and sake menu. Quina is so far the best Japanese restaurant that I've eaten in here in Brazil. It is part of Associação dos Restaurantes da Boa Lembrança, which is a society of restaurants that emphasizes excellence in food and service; in addition, each of these restaurants features an entrée, that when purchased, you received a unique plate as a souvenir.

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 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 food. Terrible service. Terrible, terrible,…read moreterrible! Came in with a group of 8 on a Tuesday night and we all had rodízio. I can't really describe the awfulness of the service we received... from forgotten items, to slow and uninformed servers, to 45 minutes wait on a water bottle... everything was bad. Food was very good, fresh and great variety. Well worth the $79 bucks but the service made me never want to go back again. Up to you now.

All our dishes were delicious. The crab appetizer was presented properly, the portions were decent and the taste was just right. For a main course, I had a delicious seafood risotto with squid & crab. My wife had a filet mignon with puree and both were also great. I'm glad I came back, because now I see why they've been open since 1964.

My Brazilian friends took me to this place because I wanted some meat. We ordered Casquinho de Caranguejo, which is crab head shells filled with creamy stuff and crab meat, that was good. And we had one order of Filé Trifasisaco, a steak, for four people. This dish comes with two side-dishes that has some rice and fried bananas. The steak was tender and flavorful. For desert we had Top Hat, which is warm bananas topped with cinnamon and covered with sugar. We also had the caja juice, I have no idea what kind of fruit caja is but the juice is really tasty. The service was good and so was the ambience. Overall, I think this is an excellent restaurant and if you are fresh off the boat in Brazil, you might just like this place.
