Just came back from dinner with business colleagues. Had no issues with service, interior is beautiful, and the food was amazing. We had the 7-course tasting menu plus dessert. My (well-traveled) colleagues thought their non-veg selections were excellent. I was very pleased that the restaurant was able to make me a separate all-vegetarian / customized tasting menu that was delicious.... More

The service in this place was absolutely terrible. When you are paying the most expensive amount for sushi you expect the very best and we got the opposite. Sushi was handed over the counter on no plate. Towels were left dirty on our table. Our order was wrong and then to top it all off no thank you or formalities... More

The fish as this Japanese restaurant is as good as any I have had in Sao Paulo. The staff is tremendously friendly and engaging. I wasn't impressed by the tempura and cooked dishes. Sat at the Sushi Bar and was provided with a very good Omakase experience. In hindsight- I would have ordered nothing but sashimi and a bit of... More

Me and my wife went to celebrate her birthday and our anniversary a few weeks ago. Service is "top of class" with very well educated and trained waiters, and sushimen. We had mostly salmon sushi and sashimi, but I tried their eel and can say it was the best I had in my life! Will definitely save this restaurant for... More

I asked the concierge of the hotel I was staying for a good japanese restaurant and she suggested Kinoshita. The place is nice, the service is attentive (but I went early and the restaurant was almost empty) and the food was good but overpriced. I ordered some mixed sushi (7 pieces), temaki maguro, seared tuna in miso paste a mango... More

This is a very special place for japanese food.Salmon and tuna were fresh.Delicate and tasteful sauce on each place.we had the so called "banquet" that offered 5 different dishes but I think that next time I will pick the dishes separately from the menu. There is a special drink called Kinoshita with tequila,cranberry juice with small Sake jellies. Prices are... More

Delicious and fresh sushi. Sashimi is great, it melts in your mouth literally. Sushi is very good and they have a special rice, ask for it. Be prepared to pay since it is very expensive.

We tried this restaurant after the recommendation of friends, but unfortunately the place did not convince us. The restaurant has a nice, lean athmosphere and quite good service. It was the food that was a bit disappointment, and certainly for those prices. The sushi was fresh, but nothing special. My duck was very plain, missed something. The kind of risotto... More

Well, we just love it. Go for the sushi bar, relax and literally enjoy. Keep in mind that we are foodies; Kinoshita reminds us, somehow, our NY favourite Sushi Yasuda Restaurant as a whole; also the focus on food and the classic Japanese touch of the sushis made us dream of our beloved Sukiyabashi Jiro Bar/Restaurant. You can't get better... More

This restaurant came highly recommended by local friends. I took a couple there for lunch – we had some sushi and sashimi, and between the three of us two glasses of sake and a small bottle of Sapporo. The bill for three persons came to nearly 500 US dollars. Sushi and sashimi were of high quality, but there was no... More
