They have a long list of typical Japanese dishes, and at least most of them seem to be well prepared. Can be a bit pricey, but all and all it's worth it. Unfortunately they don't have many options for vegans.

Gosto bastante. Sempre peço yakissoba misto (carne com frango) e sempre me agrada. O frango agridoce é saboroso. Além disso o rolinho Romeu e Julieta é uma ótima pedida para sobremesa.

Não há como descrever a experiência de comer no Gendai Fátima. O ambiente é sempre muito limpo e organizado e a equipe (do sushiman/sushigirl aos garçons/garçonetes) são simpáticos, educados e prestativos. Me sinto entre amigos quando estou lá e os pratos, especialmente os sushis, são fenomenais!
