Kinu

The worst Japanese food/​service I have had — period. The «shabu — shabu» on the menu should be avoided at ALL COST. They charge 88 Reais (44 USD) for a bowl of
soggy vegetables, 2 slices of low grade meat (don’t know what kind) and some udon noodles from a package in a tasteless broth loaded with MSG in some kind of fake Asian steel bowl. Basically worse than fast food udon noodle bowl served in a train station in Asia. The only thing worse was the tempura, which can only be described as — OLD. Table of three executives had 3 of the fake shabu shabu and tempura and 3 of us almost puked. MSG taste lingered all the way home.
After complaining about the incredibly bad non-​shabu shabu and tempura we were shocked to see that the parking «validation» was charged as well to the bill (10.00).
Kinu — you should be ashamed.
Owned by Hyatt group?

The sushi was good but there was something… about it that I just wasn’t feeling. Maybe it was different flavoring than I’m used to. The fish quality was good and the service excellent. The prices were crazy high, though. R$ 183 for one person… R$ 30 just for 2 pellegrinos.

Menu executivo nada mais que razoável, mas cuidado com as pegadinhas: água mineral R$ 15,00 e Nespresso R$ 10,00. Para não voltar.

KINU is situated on the premises of the Grand Hyatt in Sao Paulo, and every time I stop there, I eat at KINU. Service staff are attentive and friendly to a fault. And both the sushi and hot dishes are always absolutely delicious. Fantastic.

Ótimo Restaurante japonês, cuja direção é do famoso (mas muito competente), Adriano Kanashiro. Experimente o que ele sugerir, nao tem como errar… Obs: O Kinu é o Restaurante japonês que fica dentro do Hotel Grand Hyatt.
