Temakeria

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 En passant for this mall to satisfy our hunger, when we encounter this gem out of sudden. We well know the Temakeria, quite widespread in our hometown São Paulo and we gave it a go. Rodrigo, the owner, super nice and friendly, reintroduced us to this unique Japanese-Brazilian style. I tried the spic...

Glass Sushi Boutique

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I always try to stop by for sushi when I’m in the shore! It’s always been quite busy, long line out the door usually. I really like that everything is easily bite-able, it doesn’t seem to fall apart as much as other sushi places for me. Price range is slightly on the higher side depending on what s...

Koiya Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Almost too good to be true! Really lovely friendly staff, affordable prices, central location, good atmosphere, delicious food. You can’t go wrong.

DoDo Sushi & Donburi

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Love it, love it, love it. I know that everyone is a bit different and likes different things when they eat, but for me this ticks all the boxes.

iiko Sando

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 EGGPLANT SANDO - A must have dish here. The eggplant was deep fried and then seasoned with a sweet soy flavour. The bread was super soft and the flavours were perfect. The key to this place's fresh delicious flavour is that they make your sando to order, unlike other places that tend to make it in...

Poke Poke

Restaurant

👍👍 Wonderful Poke spot!! Have been to a few poke places now and I'd happily recommend this one as one of the better ones. There isn't a whole lot of places to sit but the beach is nearby so you can easily take away and wander over on a good day. The protein portion is good and they do discounts if you...

Miku Asian Eatery

Asian restaurant

🫤 Feeling disappointed for the new menu, I agree the portion was downsized compare to what it used to be. It’s used to be one of my pocket list for Korean/Japanese restaurant in Mission bay. We missed the fried chicken, Sushi and Tempura used to be more yum and worthy. I wish the new team and chef...
