Huto

From the moment we sat at the counter at Huto Sushi, we knew we were in for something special. Chef Sergio Miyai guided us through an extraordinary omakase journey that showcased the very best of Japanese cuisine with impeccable Brazilian ingredients. Each course was a masterpiece — from perfectly aged toro to melt-in-your-mouth uni, every bite highlighted Chef Sergio’s precision and passion. The progression of flavors was thoughtful and balanced, keeping us excited and surprised throughout the meal. Beyond the incredible sushi, the service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. The staff took the time to explain each dish and sake pairing, adding depth to the experience. The ambiance of the sushi bar is intimate and elegant, making it perfect for a special night out. Huto Sushi is easily one of the best omakase experiences in São Paulo. Chef Sergio Miyai’s skill and creativity make every visit unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor world-class sushi.

Tasting menu and omakase experience was amazing! New flavours and excellent quality. Locals say this is the best in town.

The service did really stand out. The food was really good, but in my opinion not spectacular for the price point. That being said, some of the dishes were unique and inventive. If you have had sushi at great restaurants abroad you might not be impressed by the food, but the service and ambiance would still make this a place worth going at least once.

Definitely not deserving of a Michelin star. I am from San Francisco, so my standards are high, but the sushi and other dishes from the kitchen at Huto are not up to world class standards. The quality of the fish was very good, but not excellent. Many of the sauces were heavy-handed and over-seasoned. The pacing was off (too fast), although the wait staff was professional and polite. Overall, the food was no better than any of the dozens of mid-range Japanese restaurants in San Francisco that don't have Michelin stars, and nowhere near as good as the truly high end Japanese restaurants whose prices Huto matches. If you're going to charge Michelin star prices, you better deliver Michelin star quality, and Huto doesn't.

Huto offers a unique experience, especially if you enjoy sitting at the sushi bar — it's fun to watch the chefs work up close. While there’s no English-speaking staff, it’s not an issue since you're in a non-English-speaking country. The service was friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience overall. We opted for the omakase, and while the food was good, the portions were smaller than expected, especially for the price. The dishes were tasty, but not particularly unique or memorable. Unfortunately, the dessert was a letdown, as it didn’t quite hit the mark. It’s a nice place for a special occasion, but given the price point and the overall experience, I’m not sure I’d return unless there were a new menu or a special reason to.

Food is amazing, but for Michelin I was expecting smth more. (It was like 4 out of 12 dishes with Michelin level) Service is 5/5 (they don't speak English, but always explain every dish with translator) Many vegan options (but nothing special) Really pricy, even for Michelin star place, we paid about R$1250 ($250) for 2 persons, regular and vegan dinner + wine + desert. Staff was super nice and it was an good experience.

I have tried and tried to find a good omakase option in São Paulo which has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan and no luck. Every restaurant was just mediocre… till last night. Huto has a Michelin star and it is certainly well deserved .. lots of sushi servings for the omakase and comparable to the sushi in Tokyo.

I’m astonished that this restaurant has earned a Michelin star. Let’s start with having to ask for water refills twice - they don’t pick up the hint the first time we had been without and had to ask. But that really pales in comparison to the quality of the food, flavors and even presentation. Huto fell short on all three and I’m struggling to understand the food scene in Sao Paulo. My local sushi place in Atlanta runs circles around this place. The nigiri was all nondescript in flavors and the texture of the fish was borderline edible. The chefs and Michelin panelists should both be embarrassed.

I reserved a spot for dinner in advance and sat at the bar in front of the chefs. The omakase was delicious and great value for the price. They don't speak English but the waiters help translate and explain the difference between the two omakase options. Service was really great and the fish quality was fresh. Luckily street parking here is open (no Zona Azul required) and the restaurant lived up to its 1 Michelin star. Thanks Huto!

Truly some of the best sushi i've ever had! I've been to multiple michelin star spots in the US but its safe to say that this far exceeded those. The quality of the fish was one of a kind. And the omakase served fish that i've never personally tried before but were still remarkable. Each piece melted in my mouth. Truly a breathtaking meal!

Such an incredible experience! I had been eager to try this Michelin star spot, and it did not disappoint. The ambience is wonderful, especially at the sushi bar. We came and had the omakase (insanely priced at only ~$60 per person, unheard of in the states) and it was a parade of flavor. The kitchen surprise dishes were all delicious and creative, and the sushi portions were amazingly fresh. The entree was an intriguing Japanese pumpkin soup of sorts with crayfish, and was absolutely delightful. Dessert was ice cream, the perfect sweet ending. Can't recommend enough, definitely make a reservation and enjoy!

Slightly off the usual "beaten tracks" of Itaim, Jardims or Pinheiros, this little gem serves creative and delicate Japanese-inspired sea food and sushi. Great decor and friendly service makes the overall experience memorable. Make sure you book.
