“***Seriously Good Sushi***
The tuna here is incredibly fresh and the sushi rolls taste super authentic and made to order. The cilantro mayo is a standout too, it adds a really unique flavor that makes the rolls even better.

The atmosphere is fun with a nice authentic vibe. The staff is very friendly and attentive the whole time.

If you love sushi, I definitely recommend Fuji Hana. Also don’t miss the chicken katsu, wonton soup, and the gyoza dumplings…definitely some standout dishes.“

“We had an amazing experience at The Blind Tiger! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was beautifully presented—including the desserts. What really made the evening special was our waitress, Seda. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Her recommendations were great, she checked on us at just the right times, and her positive attitude made the entire experience memorable. Exceptional service like hers is hard to find. We can’t wait to come back and will definitely be asking for Seda again. Highly recommend!“

“The best Japanese restaurant around“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sushi Màs continues to be one of the best sushi spots in the area. The food is consistently fresh, the presentation is excellent, and the service always makes the experience enjoyable.

Manny, who is new to the team, did a fantastic job. Friendly, attentive, and eager to help, he made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Ximena deserves recognition as well for managing the restaurant so professionally. The operation runs smoothly, the staff is attentive, and the atmosphere is always inviting.

One thing several regular customers have noticed lately is that we haven't seen Luis around. He was always very welcoming, knew many customers by name, and brought a great energy to the restaurant. While the team continues to do an excellent job, his presence is definitely missed.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for great sushi, excellent service, and a friendly atmosphere.“

“Как всегда невероятно вкусно. Наши праздники всегда проходят с Sushi_ZeY и всегда радует внимание ребят. Вовремя и с любовью! Рекомендую!“

“Amazing nigiri with fresh and warm Shari of very high quality. Fresh and very well cut and done fish. Elegant food but with a casual environment. Our server Vicky gave us amazing choices so we could have a true Oma experience. Very kind and thoughtful.“

“This was a unique kosher dining experience. The vibe and ambiance was amazing. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive and helpful, not hovering but there as soon as you need them. Cocktails were uniquely presented, original and delicious. The food, where do I start. It is obvious that the chef(s) take a lot of pride in their food. From presentation to the complex and delicious flavors. The turkey wrapped dates were out of this world. I have read other reviews and don’t understand the complaints about portion size and price. The portion sizes were perfect not too much where you are full after one dish and not too small leaving you craving more. Kudos to all of the staff. This is not a cheap family restaurant but you are definitely getting value in the food and experience. Excited to come back and taste more of the incredible menu.“

“Been there in several occasions and it's always been a great experience! Food and service deserves a 5 star! Excellent place for group gatherings and friends or family celebrations! 😋 🤩👍“

“Made a great meal with vegan options. Delicious food, nice people!“

“Very nice person. She greeted us and gave us details of the menu. We felt like at home with her personality“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Sushi Sake Miami Springs with my wife and another couple, who are also friends and Miami Springs residents. Everything was excellent, the food, the service, and the overall value.

Marianna took great care of us and made the experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. The servings were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food was outstanding. I am always especially careful when eating raw fish, but everything we ordered tasted fresh, well prepared, and of excellent quality.

We are lucky to have a place like Sushi Sake right here in Miami Springs, so close to home. We will definitely be back!“

“Delicious food. Great attention. Beautiful new renovated restaurant.“

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

“All north Miami Beach favorite place Cheap Great Food 🍱 Great attention Perfect location“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“It's rare for me to give 5 stars in every category in a review, but they've earned it. They have, hands-down, the best sushi in Miami. I don't even care that they're first-come-first-served and don't do reservations; if you aren't willing to wait 40 mins to an hour while having a drink at Bob's next door, maybe you don't deserve to enjoy the best sushi in Miami.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10 Experience!) 
Kuro – Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood
This restaurant is absolutely amazing in every way—stylish, upscale, and unforgettable. But what truly made our experience exceptional was Cisame—hands down the best employee by far.
She went above and beyond with her sushi recommendations and completely knocked it out of the park. We even asked her to surprise us—and WOW—every dish she chose was perfect. You can tell she is incredibly seasoned at her craft. She doesn’t just serve food, she creates an experience.
Cisame has a rare gift. She makes you feel welcomed, valued, and excited about every course. Her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I write reviews often, but this one takes the sushi! 🍣😂
She is not only an outstanding server but also a teacher—guiding us through the menu effortlessly. You can also tell she leads by example with the team around her. She is truly an alpha in the restaurant industry—a diamond 💎.
To management and anyone in leadership—please recognize her. She is something special.
To Cisame: you are appreciated more than you know. My wife and I will absolutely be requesting you every time we return.
Shoutout as well to the bussers and support staff—great teamwork all around.
Amazing food, incredible service—we will definitely be back! 🙏🍣
Guido Is also Phenomenal At his craft as well Ty“

“WOW! I can not tell you how long I have waited to try this place. We are from out of state (NC) and were suppose to go last May. Thankfully we finally made it here. The dishes were fantastic. The best Asian American food I have had - and I'm Asian. The server was so nice and we even talked about some Asian culture while we dined. We will definitely make this our spot when in Fort Lauderdale!“

“Had a wonderful experience tonight. We had Carlos as our server and he was absolutely on top of everything. Was always checking on us without being annoying if you know what I mean.. Great sushi rolls and my daughter had a wonderful red curry with shrimp. Will definitely be back! Carlos, you're the best!!!!“

“I love this place, I’ve been eating here for years. The sushi is always delicious and the staff is always friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: My fiance is in crutches and was able to enter and sit in this restaurant comfortably!“

“How do I begin? Miami is lucky to have a place like this. It truly feels like a portal to Japan. My wife and I dined here on Friday, May 15 at 9PM, and it was hands down one of the best omakase experiences we’ve ever had (and we've had dozens in America and Japan). From the moment we walked in, we were thoroughly impressed and ended the night with one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. If you love sushi, this is absolutely the place to be.

Everything about the restaurant feels intentional and immersive. From the wall art and intimate counter seating to the peaceful Japanese garden in the back, every detail adds to the atmosphere. Even the train passing nearby somehow makes it feel like you’re sitting in a hidden sushi counter in Tokyo. It’s a must-try experience and worth every penny.

The chef was warm, welcoming, and incredibly personable, a truly gracious host who made the evening feel special from start to finish. Watching the chefs work up close highlighted the level of craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail behind every course served.

One of the things that stood out most was how refined and balanced the entire omakase felt. Every dish showcased restraint and confidence rather than relying on gimmicks. The wagyu beef was the best bite of A5 weve had anywhere. The seafood quality was exceptional across the board. The shrimp nigiri was unbelievably sweet and delicate, the silver-skinned fish had perfect texture and knife work, and the fatty tuna courses completely melted in your mouth. The uni, caviar pairings, and layered flavors throughout the meal felt luxurious without ever becoming overwhelming.

The pacing of the courses was also flawless. The warm dishes, broths, tempura, and composed plates broke up the nigiri beautifully and made the experience feel thoughtful and complete rather than repetitive. Even something as simple as the tamago had remarkable texture and flavor. Every course genuinely felt like edible art 🍣

This is the kind of omakase that reminds you why traditional sushi craftsmanship matters. Elegant, balanced, immersive, and genuinely unforgettable. Easily a top-tier omakase experience and one we cannot wait to return to.

We are Grateful and thankful to have been able to try this restaraunt. Were counting down the days that we can return to Ogawa. A big thank you to the Chef and Staff from the bottom of our hearts. I cant even put it into words how amazing the food here is. Its incredibly exceptional.“

“Eclectic little sushi place! Very reasonably priced, interesting items on menu. Japanese library too?lol A woman owned one man show!“

“I had an amazing experience at Hikari! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service made the night even better. Our waiter, Moses, was absolutely incredible—so friendly, attentive, and super helpful with recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. He truly went above and beyond and made our experience so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back and hope to have Moses as our waiter again!“

“excellent decoration, comida delicious 😋, buen menu de comida de mar“

“Ke-uH Restaurant at the Aqualina Resort in Sunny Isles offers an exceptional dining experience. Our server, Pedro, provided excellent table service, and both the cocktails and food were of high quality. The atmosphere is spectacular, making it ideal for business meetings or a visit with friends. Valet parking is available at a good price. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.“

“My first time trying today and I am pleased to inform you all that this place is beyond the hype they get on tik tok. The staff super kind, helpful, and efficient. While I waited in my car checking my emails one of the guys came to bring me the food to my car!!!! Needed a late night bite after a movie and wow im so thoroughly pleased i came to write a review!!!!!!! I’m going back for the lamb chops!!!!! (I’m not a big review person so I hope that says something about this place!)“

“Matsuyoi easily ranks as the best omakase experiences my partner and I have ever had. Beyond the incredible freshness and flavor of every course, what really sets this place apart is the attention to detail at every touchpoint of the guest experience.

From the personalized welcome card to the intimate setting, the perfectly curated playlist, and the thoughtful gift at the end — everything feels intentional and beautifully executed. The chefs and staff are engaging, fun, and make you feel like you’re part of something special rather than just dining at a restaurant.

We also did the wine pairing and every dish was mouthwatering to say the LEAST. The creativity of each bit, from the rolls to the soup to dessert and everything in between, made for a dining experience that had us anticipating what was next, but also savoring every moment and not wanting that course to end.

We got to chat with our seat neighbors and truly had a wonderful time. Very different from a traditional Omakase experience in that regard as well. The speakeasy type setup also made it feel exclusive and like a premium experience. It just felt sexy and fun!

If I lived in Miami, I’d come here a hundred times over. For now, it’s firmly on our must-visit list every time we’re back in the city. Truly unforgettable.“

“Great customer service by Christian! Delicious sushi - the tuna tartar was my favorite!!! Two thumbs up! 👍 👍 Highly recommend it!“

“I would not just recommend this place I would come out of my way again in a heartbeat. It is so relieving to actually find a place that has great service again. I feel after the pandemic, it's really changed the service force. It was such a fresh breath of air to have such an amazing time and service! I had a party of 11 of us for my birthday, and we were treated with smiles, and taken care of like kings. The food was phenomenal! Some of the most beautiful, fresh seafood I have ever had in my entire life. I've been traveling seven years full-time, and I will definitely be coming back just to eat here! The patio is absolutely gorgeous! It will soon be right on the ocean once they are finishing some construction! Thank you again for such a exhilarating time and a restaurant memory I will never forget and can't wait to see you soon! Best of luck to you all.:-) Brad“

“This place ranks number 1 for me at the moment. I’m a huge fan of Tuna Tataki - I’ve tried two versions that Arigatai offers; Sesame Tuna Delight and Tuna Explosion- both are fantastic.“

“Sushi Siam is an absolute hidden gem. Their menu is extensive, featuring a mix of Thai and Japanese dishes, so there’s something for everyone.

The sushi is fresh, beautifully presented, and expertly prepared — it’s as much a treat for the eyes as it is for your taste buds. Beyond sushi, they also serve fantastic Pad Thai and Tom Kha Kai soup that are definitely worth trying.

What’s unique about this spot is that it’s almost always empty, likely because most of their business is takeout. But I actually loved the solitude — it feels like a private dining experience.

The building itself is definitely dated, giving off some serious Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom vibes (you’ll get the reference once you go). But honestly, that throwback vintage sushi restaurant vibe adds to its charm and makes the experience feel special.

If you’re looking for high-quality sushi and Thai food in a relaxed, low-key environment, Sushi Siam is a must-try.“

“During a car show in Miami i had a Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl and it was excellent. extremely well made and delicious.“

“This site is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. Whenever I feel like having a good dinner, this is the place that comes first to my head. very good and food and a large list of dishes.great staff, and pleasant atmosphere. Also important, the pay is reasonable. I praise this spot with no doubt.“

“G7 Restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The food was fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The restaurant has a unique setup with stunning views that make the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in a beautiful atmosphere, I highly recommend G7. Great food, amazing service, breathtaking views, and a wonderful taste of Japanese culture. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Very fresh fast and delicious!!!“

“This place is a true hidden gem. I’m always surprised by the warmth and kindness of everyone who works here, and the calm, comfortable atmosphere makes every visit feel special.
I’ve tried more than seven dishes so far, and every single one has been fantastic — fresh ingredients, flavor combinations that make you close your eyes, and vegetables that actually taste delicious.
The desserts are perfectly portioned for those of us who enjoy sweetness in moderation, without losing any of the flavor. Highly recommended.“

“a veranda with a beautiful view of the ocean ,a children's room and very tasty food , I recommend visiting this restaurant ????“

“Great atmosphere .. good food“

“Food was very delicious from the fried rice that was surprisingly more flavorful than i assumed with hibachi. The veggies gave aldente and crisp, and OMG the salmon was perfectly grilled juicy and hot. I LOVE IT ALL!! Before i even got a good wift of the yumminess i was digging in (hence the photo lol)“

“The music selection was perfect and really set the tone for the experience. Daniella was incredibly kind and attentive, offering thoughtful suggestions that enhanced our time. The drinks were expertly crafted and absolutely delicious. Overall, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend!“

“Taiko Sushi deserves every star possible. Their service is excellent, and they handled our event with impressive professionalism. Even when we had miscommunication on our side, they stepped in, fixed the order without hesitation, and still made the party happen. They went beyond what anyone could expect. The food was fresh, the presentation was clean, and their team stayed calm, friendly, and solution focused the entire time. Taiko Sushi is the kind of business you trust for important moments. I highly recommend them. 💯💯💯❤️🙏“
