Somente por reserva. Uma grande surpresa tudo. Melhor comida REALMENTE JAPONESA tradicional do RJ! Meu Deus que presente, que alegria que foi vivenciar essa experiência toda. Amei amei ameeeei infinitamente absolutamente tudo: bateras, carpaccio de salmão SURREAL, missoshiro, tempuras, sushis, O SASHIMI de salmão foi um dos melhores e mais cremosos que comi. Amei gente! Já virei cliente de carteirinha. A sobremesa de canudinhos doce foi a cereja do bolo hahhahaha

Impecável. Peças todas absurdamente fresquinhas, até peixe branco que eu não costumo gostar muito estava delicioso. Local agradável. Não é um japonês pra milhões de variedades, terá pouco o rodízio, porém a qualidade é especial. Aqui aquela Máxima da qualidade x quantidade é perfeita pra ilustrar.

Gostei muito do Taiyo. O restaurante não possui muitas opções na cartela de rodízio como em outros restaurantes, mas o que eles servem é muito bem feito. Me impressionou como o arroz das peças é macio. As peças são pequenas, o que me agrada. A equipe é bastante atenciosa e o ambiente é calmo, sem muito barulho. Meus pratos preferidos foram os baterás, tempurá de camarão, sushi de camarão e carpaccio
