About

Arigato is a one-chef sushi spot in Jacó run by a Japanese chef who often has tuna caught that same morning. Because it's just him, rolls take a while — fans say don't come starving — but the payoff is worth it: standout ramen with the Tonkotsu drawing comparisons to Japan, a much-loved katsu curry, and sushi people call the best in town. Ask about the gluten-free soy sauce and options.

Absolute perfection. Japanese chef. It’s only him so rolls take a while (really, not rec if you’re starving) The katsu curry came by in like 20 mins. Delicious is not even enough to describe it. Dad said sushi was really good too, but I was about done when he got it

BEST ramen I've had since being in Japan a year ago 😭 I got the Tonkotsu. Also got the spicy crunchy tuna sushi roll and it was AMAZING. Both were also delicious as leftovers the next day. 10/10 recommend.
