Sushi Samba Rio Restaurant Review:
Bright, vibrant and attractive are just some words that will pop into your head as soon as you see the glowing sign at the front of the restaurant. It is known for its splash of bold flavors, impeccable service and the attitude and passion to create and serve the best cuisine possible. Sushi Samba Rio borrows a little from the three distinctive cultures of Japan, Peru and Brazil to create a potpourri of culinary delights. This passion to create a fusion stems from the historic fact that thousands of Japanese emigrants traveled to South American in the early 20th century in the hope of earning fortunes. Therefore, an integration of cultures resulted in the creation of a variety of amazing delicacies that belonged a little to each of the three countries.
The SushiSamba Rio restaurant offers the same creative explosion of culinary flavors, aromas and tastes with their unique, distinctive and extensive menu. Seaweed salad and seared otoro kobe beef are popular choice of cold appetizers while miso soup, salt and pepper squid and jumbo lump crab cake are the favorites under hot appetizers.
