Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Doryo Sushi

🍣 Doryo Sushi: São Paulo's Sleek Omakase Spot Where Portions Overwhelm (But Aesthetics Shine) Tucked in Itaim Bibi, this modern sushi den serves up Instagram-worthy decor and hefty omakase portions—here’s why skipping the set menu might be your best bet for a satisfying meal: ❌ The Overkill: 10-Course Omakase Premium (R$529/person) Portion Shock: Quantity Over Quality? 10 courses including 6 types of sashimi, 4 nigiri, and a hot dish—enough to feed two average eaters. 🍣 Problem: Flavors blurred together after course 5, with some fish (like tuna) lacking the expected melt-in-mouth texture. Japanese-Sized Servings? Rice balls in nigiri were densely packed, more like Brazilian-style sushi than delicate Japanese portions. 🍚 Pro tip: Ask for "half rice" to pace yourself. 🌟 Saving Graces: Aesthetics & Standout Bites Space Age Meets Japan Decor Glossy black surfaces, neon blue accents, and open kitchen—perfect for minimalist food photography. 📸 No need for filters here. A La Carte Winners (If You Skip Omakase) Scallop Carpaccio: Thinly sliced with yuzu dressing, refreshing and light. 🦪 Wagyu Tataki: Seared beef with truffle oil, a safe bet for non-sushi eaters. 🥩 💡 Dining Strategies for First-Timers Avoid the Omakase Trap Opt for 2–3 a la carte dishes (e.g., sashimi platter + roll) to avoid food coma. 📝 Timing Is Everything Lunch omakase is cheaper (R$399), but portions are still massive—come hungry or bring a doggy bag. Photo Ops Galore Sit at the bar for prime chef-action shots, or by the window for natural light. 🌟 Final Verdict: Style Over Substance (and Portions) Go if: You need a sleek backdrop for date night photos You’re a big eater who loves value-for-money (even if quality suffers) You want to try Brazilian-style "super-sized" sushi Skip if: You crave authentic, delicate omakase You dislike feeling stuffed to the brim You prioritize flavor complexity over portion size Doryo Sushi nails the vibe but misses the mark on finesse. Come for the Instagram likes, stay for a la carte bites, and avoid the omakase unless you’re training for a sushi-eating contest. 🍱✨ 📍 Address: Rua Clodomiro Amazonas, 660 - Itaim Bibi, São Paulo 💸 Price: R$100–529/person (omakase premium is a splurge) 📸 Tag someone who’d tackle that 10-course omakase with you! #Brazil #SushiRestaurant #ItaimBibi #OmakaseReview
