Rios Bistro Sushi - Reviews

As a devoted fan of Brazilian sushi from Sao Paulo, my expectations are always high. This was my second visit to this restaurant while in Orlando, and I truly wish they would open a location in Jacksonville. Last Saturday night, my sister and I dined here, and everything was absolutely delicious. The hostess was a sweetheart, and our server did an amazing job. They were very efficient and quick, yet maintained a friendly and welcoming demeanor, which is a rare find. I unfortunately forgot her name, but I believe it's Angela or Angelina – a beautiful, brunette, Brazilian-looking server. I will definitely be returning every time I visit Orlando.

It's a great place, but be prepared to take your time as the process is slow. Go with good company to have quality time and good conversation. The food will come, and you can order more. It's a nice place, I just don't like it when the music is too loud; it's too annoying not to be able to talk. The food is excellent, and the service, while slow, is attentive enough. The atmosphere can be a bit much with loud music, but the overall experience is positive.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The place is cozy, which was a pleasant atmosphere. However, the food was not good, and the prices were expensive. On a positive note, the service was good, and they offer Wi-Fi.

The food was delicious! Everything we ordered arrived quickly. Nathalia, who served us, was super kind and attentive the whole time, even giving us menu suggestions! I love that they have an outdoor area and accept dogs, I highly recommend!

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food was wonderful and well-prepared, with a good quantity. The place itself is comfortable and pleasant, and the attendants were very friendly. We also found the price to be good, with a promotion for two people costing only 59.

The food was good, but the portions were very small for an all-you-can-eat (rodízio). However, something very unpleasant happened at the end of the service that left me extremely dissatisfied. When we asked for the bill, the attendant told us we had to eat the 3 remaining pieces of food. She didn't give us the option to pay a waste fee, which we could have easily afforded. I found the treatment very inappropriate, especially since she practically "forced" us to eat in front of her before closing our bill. Furthermore, other restaurants I've been to, where I didn't eat (much more than) 3 small pieces, did not consider it waste. I don't judge the professional, because I don't know if the instruction comes from the restaurant itself, but it wasn't a pleasant experience as advertised.

My experience at this restaurant was AMAZING! The food was great, the service was great, and the atmosphere was great! The only minor thing I would love to be added is soda/tea with refills. I definitely recommend going there!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best sushi in Orlando. The attendants, Ângela and Renata, were incredibly attentive. I absolutely loved the service and the food ❤️. I highly recommend it!

If you're considering this restaurant for rodizio and sushi based on their Instagram feed advertising "All You Can Eat, " I strongly advise against it. Several dishes, including those highlighted in the caption, were not included. To make matters worse, the staff explicitly stated they used the "All You Can Eat" claim solely for attention, meaning you will be successfully deceived. The service was terrible, with a super unprofessional waitress. They missed an opportunity to rectify their mistake.

The place had all the potential to be great. The location was incredible, and it was beautiful and well-decorated. It also gave a feeling of being very clean and hygienic. The appetizers were good, but the sushi itself felt very similar to the all-you-can-eat sushi we've had in American places (in terms of flavor and size), where we paid half the price. I didn't feel it had a distinct Brazilian sushi differential like other Brazilian rodízios we're accustomed to in Orlando. I also found the way the waiters look at us when we asked for more food unpleasant – it's an all-you-can-eat, and they seemed to be judging the quantity the whole time. They brought the food, but it felt like they were doing it reluctantly or with pity. Furthermore, my friend ordered 2 rolls, and they didn't bring them. Suddenly, they arrived with a huge fried temaki to try and substitute the order (because temaki is large and more filling) – I didn't think that was a good move, and of course, he didn't accept it, lol. Overall, I found it expensive for what it offers.
