Suysei Japanese Buffet

Some of the best food in Manaus, if you can believe it, is at a little Japanese restaurant called Suysei. The façade is rather unassuming, and you have to ring the doorbell for them to open the security gate, but once you are inside, it is a comfy atmosphere. Suysei is run by an elderly Japanese couple and they serve up a homestyle buffet for R$35 (about $18) which includes sashimi, octopus and cucumber tsukemono, a hot dish such as grilled fish or tempura, and a steamed dish such as gyoza (pot-stickers) or oden veggies in broth, not to mention miso soup and steamed white rice. And it's all-you-can eat!
I swear I ate the food sitting right-side-up so I have no idea why this picture uploads sideways.
