Jun Sakamoto - João Pessoa - PB

Experiência incrível. O restaurante possui um ticket médio um pouco elevado, porém, vale muito a experiência. Atendimento impecável, todas os pratos que pedimos estavam deliciosos e com sabores muito equilibrados. É notória a alta qualidade dos peixes. Os drinks também são muito bons! O garçom nos deu algumas recomendações de pratos e drinks e acertou todos, vale a pena o voto de confiança.

Uma experiência super agradável. Ambiente bonito e acolhedor, pessoal simpático. Escolhemos o menu com entrada, prato principal e sobremesa, todos muito bons. O destaque vai para o tartare de atum, ou de salmão com ovas, uma delícia. Depois no prato principal, o atum com crosta de gergelim estava divino e por último, uma surpresa: o sorvete de maçã verde, nunca pensei que fosse tão bom, amei. Éramos três, pagamos 300 reais por toda essa refeição, acompanhada de sucos deliciosos, no jantar. Para finalizar, só quero dizer que valeu imensamente a pena e recomendo

Maravilhoso. Sushi de primeira, os pratos excelente. Atendimento muito bom. Super recomendo. Um prato mais delicioso que o outro. Ambiente aconchegante. Dica: Se você for para o restaurante você pode utilizar o serviço de VIP Valet Parking gratuito no Manaira Shopping pagando apenas o estacionamento.

Diferenciado demais! Desde a entrada até a sobremesa dá pra perceber porque é um dos mais renomados restaurantes japoneses do Brasil! Ambiente lindo, atendimento impecável e todos os pratos excelentes. Destaque do dia: yakissoba de costela e sorvete de maçã verde com gelatina de sakê. Tudo muito saboroso! Nota 10!

Fui pela primeira vez, em uma tarde de sábado, para almoço. Achei os peixes do sushis de boa qualidade, frescos, de bom sabor e tamanho. O arroz do sushi de sabor suave, que não atrapalha o sabor dos peixes. Os tamanhos das peças são bons, para sushis a la carter. O yakissoba de carne suína é gostoso, macarrão muito bom e tempero meio agridoce, talvez por ser o de carne suína. Não sei se os outros também são agridoce. Tem pratos executivos para almoço, de preço bem em conta, por 65,00, mas só de segunda a sexta-feira. O sorvete de maçã verde com gelatina de sakê é bem gostoso e leve para sobremesa. Um almoço para duas pessoas no final de semana, para comer bem, gira em torno de 250 reais.

Melhor experiência que tive em restaurante japonês até hoje. Os peixes são muito frescos, a execução dos pratos é próxima da perfeição e os sabores são maravilhosos. Pedimos uma entrada que vinha com spicy tuna, ceviche e tempurá de legumes, uma combinação inusitada, porém que combina 100%. Também pedimos meia porção do baterá misto, e todos estavam deliciosos. Os sushis e sashimis são perfeitos e se for lá não deixe de pedir, mesmo que seja só um para experimentar, e os valores são muito condizentes com a qualidade. Com certeza voltarei quando estiver em João Pessoa novamente.

Before you ask why I did not give this restaurant a higher rating, I’ll tell you: Jun Sakamoto is the only chef of a Japanese restaurant in Brazil that has a Michelin Star. Because of this, I was expecting sooooo much more than what we experienced here for lunch. Was this better than another sushi restaurant in the mall? Yes, but I expected that it should be. But not much better. Their products are superior (when they are not 86’d from the menu—without telling the customers). But the presentation was not nearly the quality that it should be (in this aspect, it was only slightly better than a Japanese restaurant you’d find in a Shopping mall). Let me explain our dining experience, keeping in mind that they’ve only been open for about 2 weeks (which doesn’t excuse anything). Their menu was only available by QR code (for sanitary reasons); we ordered a bottle of sake, and there the problems began. The waitress’s menu on her device was different than what was shown on their online menu (what we wanted was unavailable, but wasn’t updated on the online menu; what was available was completely different). Our server, Faby, did the best she could with the training she had, which was inadequate (she was a wonderful waitress, trying the best she could under the circumstances). When it came to the food, at least 3 dishes had revisions that were not advised nor marked on the menu (we did not know that there were changes to the items we ordered until they came to the table in a different shape than was described on their menu, which is inexcusable; for example, their spice shisso was unavailaible; their 3-mushroom in butter dish arrived at the table with 2 types of mushrooms and no explanation or apology; our Manaira Combo (30 pieces) was described as having 3 different types of fish, but arrived at the table with only 2 types of fish, also with no explanation and no apology. Sadly, the fish that was missing (the white fish) is my wife’s favorite, so unhappy wife, unhappy client. We ordered a few pieces of sushi and sashimi à la carte, including 2 pieces of tuna sushi with foie-gras. The sushi chefs first sent the tuna without the foie gras on top, then, when corrected, sent the skimpiest, tiny pieces of foie gras on the sushi as to almost be a joke; not to mention that they forgot to completely torch them. This is either because of lack of training, lack of understanding of their menu or lack of caring. I considered ordering some other pieces of sushi or sashimi, but my wife called me back to my senses, reminding me how everything thus far had been a disappointment. Our waitress invited the manager to our table to discuss our displeasure, and the manager was apologetic and grateful for the feedback, so I give them credit for that. The manager listened attentively and was happy to hear our critiques, but his explanation that they have trouble with their suppliers is completely irrelevant to a customer. Oh, another thing: their website is useless. They don’t have their menu on it, nor their hours, nor any other useful information. While deserving of only 1-star, I give this restaurant 2-stars in the hope that all these errors are because of their recent opening and will be corrected. We will surely be back to try their food again and sincerely hope that the fact that this restaurant bears the name of a Michelin-starred chef, that he will be too protective of his reputation and too embarrassed by the shortcomings that he has left to occur here to continue. Update to come.

This place recently gained a Michelin. Eduardo the Italian - Brasilian waiter and his charme was equivalent of Fred Siriex. Teishoku Jun Sakamoto & Teishoku Manaíra are full of fresh tasty bites. The Edamame is on point. The green tea panna cotta is delicious. The best Japanese restaurant I've visited in all Brasil.
