Kiichi, Japanese restaurant in Jardins district, São Paulo, Brazil
Kiichi is a Japanese restaurant in the Jardim Paulista neighborhood of São Paulo, serving sushi, sashimi, tempura, and other classic dishes from Japanese cooking. The space has several dining areas and the food is prepared fresh each day by chefs trained in Japanese techniques.
The restaurant opened in São Paulo around 17 years ago and grew over time to operate in several locations across the city. From the start, the owners focused on keeping the same preparation standards at every branch.
Kiichi is one of the few Japanese restaurants in São Paulo to offer a rodízio format, a Brazilian style of service where dishes keep coming to the table until the guest is satisfied. This mix of Japanese food and Brazilian dining culture gives the experience a local character that you would not find in Japan.
Guests can choose between ordering à la carte, set menus, or a rodízio service with around 56 Japanese specialties. The restaurant also has its own delivery service for those who prefer to eat at home.
The restaurant handles over 6,000 delivery orders per month through its own app, which is unusual for a Japanese restaurant in São Paulo. Many regular customers order from home and still come in to eat at the table as well.
