Sushi Vaz

I came across this place by accident and walked in on their planned Omakase seating (they had a space and welcomed me). Let me set the scene, this is a tiny place with I believe only eight seats at most. You sit around the chef's counter and the sushi chefs put on a tremendous 15 plus course sushi and sashimi tasting menu. It was nothing short of spectacular and in line with what I have experienced in Asia. You can tell that the chefs are trained in the formal sushi chef Style and the food is prepared right before your eyes with surgical precision. I would suggest you secure a reservation (do not do what I did and just walk in lol). You clearly need to make reservations, and trust me it is worth it. This is the kind of rare fine and Gem that Anthony Bourdain would have loved on his travels, the setting isn't fancy rather it is functional and cool (utilizing the small space), it has amazing food, is not pretentious, and the dedicated team is on point with respect to service and presentation. As I left my seating (full and in awe of the cool place I had found), there was another group of people patiently waiting outside who were only admitted to the restaurant once everyone else from the previous seating had left. Bottom line, it was truly an amazing experience and I cannot recommend it highly enough, in fact if you love really good sushi with amazing fresh fish prepared in the traditional style, this is the place to go and you will feel you have found one of those places that has yet to be discovered. Also, the serving and presentation style is as attentive as it is beautiful. Omakase is $R500+pp plus saki and/or wine tasting, but there is also an a la carte option if you prefer.

Very easy to locate it. SMALL cosy Japanese restaurant. Only bar sitting available. Surprisingly is quite good cusines and friendly Chef. He dedicated to the good he served. Good serving. OMAKASE or your choice of sushi and sashimi. Asked the Cheft recommended. Should TRY it yourself. No for big group. One to two.

Incredible Omakase experience in São Paulo. Chef Breno and Chef Lucas and Pedrinho always deliver and never disappoint. The fish is always fresh and delicious. You will not regret coming here for a meal.

SP surprisingly has very good Sushi. And that beats many other cities. This place is quintessential omakase place with skilled chef who chooses his fishes from daily market. The varieties seemed little less than other places but the items presented on plate were superb. Highly recommended.

Best omakase experience in São Paulo. Fresh fish, great variety of food, experienced crew, cozy and personal atmosphere, great sake options, well located. You should make a reservation beforehand, the restaurante is small and have just a few seats every night.

The food was incredible (very high quality fish), and the atmosphere very cozy & welcoming (feels just like a sushi bar in Japan). I don’t speak Portuguese but the staff kindly translated everything for me & still made me feel very welcome. I’ll definitely come back again!

It's no news you can have great Japanese food in São Paulo. It is after all the largest Japanese community outside of Japan. But this little hole in the corner blew our minds! The rice was perfect, the fish the freshest, and the overall experience was thoughtful and remarkable! Craziest part was that our siblings had to make a reservation over two months ago so Drew Tappan and I could experience it in one of the four prime spots in front of the chef. Thank you SUSHI VAZ for a meal that was perfect in every way! We hope to see you soon on @netflix Chef's Table!

This cozy alleyway sushi bar was simple but fantastic. I would recommend just getting the omakasse which has a variety of 16 nigiris. You can really sense that the owner Vaz makes the sushi with love and passion. His family work alongside him. This place is small and popular so you might have to wait a little. This is one of my favourite sushi's in Sao Paulo.
