Tanka, Asian restaurant in Liberdade district, São Paulo, Brazil.
Tanka is an Asian restaurant on the first floor of the Kyoto Hotel in the Liberdade neighborhood of São Paulo, offering an unlimited buffet with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai dishes. The dining area brings together the cooking of several Asian countries in a single space, making it possible to sample a wide range of dishes in one sitting.
The Liberdade neighborhood, where the restaurant sits, was shaped by waves of Asian immigration to São Paulo that began in the early 20th century. Over the decades, it grew into the part of the city most closely associated with Asian food and culture.
The name of the restaurant refers to the Japanese tanka, a five-line poem that has been part of the imperial court tradition since the 7th century. Visitors move between dishes from several Asian countries while dining under a name rooted in classical Japanese poetry.
The restaurant is on Praça da Liberdade and easy to reach by subway, as the square sits directly next to a metro station. If you arrive by car, the hotel offers parking on site.
The restaurant has a separate VIP room that fits up to 62 people and is equipped with multimedia tools, bookable for private groups on certain evenings of the week. This room sits apart from the main dining area, so large events do not affect the rest of the guests.
