Reviews Summary
ICONIKO offers a sophisticated Japanese dining experience with exceptionally fresh sashimi and unique craft cocktails like the standout 'Ikonico drink'. While the ambiance is praised, some guests found the sushi rolls did not meet high expectations and noted issues with slow service during peak times. Despite these criticisms, many find the overall experience, especially the rodizio, to be worth the upscale price for its quality and unique offerings.
"This place has amazing food. Thank you Alef our server. Everything here was delicious. The special was amazing. Everything from the service to the one of a kind dish was excellent. Highly recommend"
Breno Oliveira
"4 and not 5 stars because we had high expectations and the sushi (mostly rolls) didn’t live up to that. Sashimi was excellent but elaborated sushi rolls were not very good - we should have tried something more basic, as raw material was good ! Shrimp gohan tasted like smoked bbq and nowhere to be seen on the menu that it would be like that. We still dream about Ikonico drink, which we ordered three times - one of the best drinks we ever had in our lives!"
Benedetta Di Lupidio
"The food was outstanding. Many many options to choose from. From sashimi to rolls, pork belly to chicken, it was all outstanding. If you enjoy sushi, this is the place to go. The tuna as salmon sashimi was fresh and light. I cannot wait to go back."
