Yum! We had the sushi 46 platter. A great variety of all the popular sushi. Having lived in Japan before, we really loved the feel of the restaurant, the staff, and the way they prepared the sushi. It’s not the best sushi we’ve ever had. Compared to Japan: 7 of 10. Compared to most other sushi places: 8 of 10. They should offer more wasabi with the sushi that is served. The food came out quickly, and they did great at busing the tables as you finished each cup and plate of food. They even offer a small two roll appetizer as you wait for your food. Always nice when you’re hungry. Bathrooms were clean, and with true Japanese style, have toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathroom. The caipivodka I had was great, with maracujá: wish they had one or two better choices for drinks like Kettle One or Captain Morgan. All they offered was Absolute for vodka. They accept credit cards. Thumbs up.

Very impressed with the high quality of the food and service! Definitely a great choice, if not the best one in the area!!!

No sé porqué este lugar está tan lleno. La verdad que bastante decepcionado con la calidad y la variedad de la propuesta. Ni hablar con el servicio que fue desprolijo(casi que un roll nos lo trajeron después del postre!) No es caro, pero tampoco me parece que vale el precio que pagás. No tienen tampoco buenas variedades de pescados. Honestamente, probaría otras opciones

Fastest sushi ever. Can’t believe how fast it came out. Quality is high. English is not spoken, but with pictures and a patient staff, no problem. Roll and sashimi menu is limited. Interesting variety of items. I really enjoyed the stay and it is a great place to Go. A bit different than what we are use to in the states, but excellent. I recommend it

Sushi quality is fine but the real attraction is their creativity! I have now been back three times to rio this past year and always stop by to enjoy a nice meal

Comida excelente. Muito caro. Muito caro mesmo. Atendimento muito ruim. Garçons mal humorados, esnobes, nada atenciosos… Contraditório ao preço. A comida é muito boa mesmo, mas não vale a pena voltar pelo mal atendimento.

In hopes of expanding user-rated restaurant ratings(so that I can facilitate and also find good places to eat when I’m abroad), here’s my first Brazilian Unilocal review! I really liked Manekineko! We were originally going to go to Sushi Leblon but were redirected here when we got there before it opened. Sushi is super fresh, well-presented, and the flavors can be unique. I particularly remember the ginger-wasabi salmon sashimi fondly.

Excelente restaurante de comida japonês, com opção de rodizio. Chega ao grau de qualidade e serviço encontrado nos melhores japoneses de São Paulo(mas por um preço bem salgado). Não deixe de experimentar os drinques de la, são criações muito originais. Esse restaurante também participa da 11a Restaurant Week( )

Finding good Japanese restaurants in Rio is not an easy task. Manekineko is one of the popular spots to get some Asian food, but they put on a modern twist. If you are looking for some udon, ramen or teishoku set meals this is not your place. They have a rodizio option everyday(R$ 70ish weekdays R$ 86 on weekends) Pick what you want from their list of options. From appetizer options to entrees and dessert, which allows you to try snippets of their menu. I found their yakisobas a tad salty and the coating of their tempura heavy — not light and crispy. Their salmon skin was good — but we made sure to tell them Crispy salmon skin! Tuna was also good. A suggestion the restaurant should do is once you submit your list to the waiter, they should print out what you order and leave a copy on your table so that you can keep track of what is coming and help you remember what you may want to order more.
