What customers say?

“ Zero complaints. The 30-piece combo for two is well worth it and delicious (especially the sushi), and the shiitake and shimeji mushrooms we ordered separately are already in my top 5 Japanese restaurants. The house sake is also wonderful. Review @samferrymusic ”

“ A super charming Asian restaurant in Barra, with delicious food. It's a recent opening, so it's recommended to make a reservation for dinner, and I highly recommend the 1st floor, which has a kind of cozy cave-like decor. We ordered the Truffled Salmon Usuzukuri with 10 slices (R$57), the salmon tartare (R$51), and the pork Donburi (R$65). To drink, we ordered a glass of white wine (R$38) and the sake tasting (R$42). The service was quite rushed because it was very crowded, but the manager was attentive and present at all tables. It was a great experience, and I recommend it. ”

“ I went on February 1st, 2025 for an anniversary dinner at 8 PM. I reserved a table at the counter and received impeccable service. The restaurant's chef was responsible for taking all our orders during the experience. Furthermore, all the fish pieces and everything we ordered was extremely fresh. It was the first time I tried uni (sea urchin) and it was wonderful. A highlight was the "omakase experience," which surprised with its flavors, especially the pieces with langoustine, and the gyoza, which had the most delicious filling I've ever tasted. The most flavorful sushi was the snapper (especially recommended by the chef, one of the three white fish options of the day). Note: The espresso is from the Orfeu brand and comes with meringue. ”

“ I started lunch with a delicious lime caipisake (photo 1). For starters, I ordered excellent shrimp popcorn (photo 2) and some salmon skin sashimi, which was very good (photo 3). I ordered a Yujo combo (photo 4). It was good, but one of the octopus sashimi pieces literally had the consistency of a shoe sole, impossible to chew. For dessert, I had the namelaka, a white chocolate sphere filled with white mousse and fruit (photo 5). It was reasonably good. The chocolate sphere is quite rigid, difficult to break and chew. I finished with a good coffee with a small meringue (photo 6), just like at Yusha. The service is very kind and attentive. The place is very beautiful and pleasant (photos 7 to 10). The location is privileged (other photos). It's at the end of a dead-end street that ends in a small square with a fountain. It even reminds me of Urca! I was going to give it four stars, since some of the lunch items didn't appeal to me much, but the positive points made me give it five. Interesting fact: I arrived at 12:30 pm and the restaurant was empty. I left around 2 pm and it was still empty, on a Saturday! Could it be the location? Yujo is very good and deserves to be frequented. ”
