“awesome rolls!!! very nice place“

“Muy rica la comida y satisfecha con la atención brindada por Yani. Pronto volveremos . Excelente servicio!!!“

“Yes, yes, yes! I have been meaning to try Hiyakawa and after this visit I am so sorry I didn't come sooner. Everything was not only delicious, fresh and authentic, but the service was more than impecable, it was like meeting new friends you can't wait to hang out with again.

I want to emphasize the authentic flavors and freshness of the product. It did feel I was back in Japan having a meal.

We chose the omakase option and it was divine, and after praising its deliciousness, I was told it changed monthly! Yay!

But I also want to come back and try many of the items in their regular a la carte menu.

The sake options were wonderful and the wonderful couple sitting next to us shared their wine list will not disappoint.

I want to apologize for not having any food pics. I will definitely will update with those on my next visit and there will definitely be many more.
I am adding one the staff hilariously and graciously posed with me and my new friends. Yes, it was as fun as it looks. Come, you will wonder like me why didn't you sooner.“

“Providing quality service and a comfortable atmosphere“

“💯🍣 excelente comida, servicio y la decoración 🪴🌱🎋🪵“

“Loved 107 Taste! Cindy is amazing, and the Pad Thai was sooo good, full of flavor, and cooked just right. Highly recommend! (Don’t forget the donuts!)“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“Fantastic overall experience. They don’t have a lot of variety in the dishes so I can see how others can be upset about that, but for me every dish was amazing.

The only flaw was there was zero explanation of the dishes, origins of the fish, flavor profiles, etc. they just made the dishes and gave it to you. For those who have been to other omakases, there is usually a detailed presentation behind every dish which makes the experience so much better because you actually get to understand what makes the dish special.“

“I had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, but what really stood out was the service. Fabiola was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire visit.

And I especially have to highlight LUISA — her drinks were AMAZING. You can really tell how much talent and dedication she puts into every cocktail. Every drink was perfectly made, with incredible flavor and presentation. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Luisa truly made the experience even more special, and I would definitely come back mainly for her drinks. Highly recommend trying anything made by her.“

“Excelente la atención de German y la comida demasiado buena.. Lo recomiendo 👍“

“What a great experience! Right in South Miami! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! Very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu and drinks. She recommended the Omakase Signature to share. It comes with a variety of sushi. Compliments to the chef, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. 100% recommend coming down and seeing Karen and enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere!“

“Queen Miami Beach is a premier restaurant that seamlessly blends top-tier Japanese cuisine with a luxurious ambiance, offering an experience akin to a lavish artistic feast“

“A delicious experience, amazing Ramen and really unique rolls“

“My friend and I had such an amazing experience here. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The chef was absolutely amazing and made the experience feel extra special. Gwen was also incredible, so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“the place is excelent and the waitress Maria is very professional and friendly“

“We had an incredible experience at Pari Pari for my birthday celebration with our family. Everything was perfect, starting with the ambience to the service to the food. The hand rolls were absolutely delicious and we will 100% be back! Particular shout out to the service from Xander, Malcolm, Shirley and others“

“I’m not one to leave a bunch of reviews. Double Knot was something the Ave desperately needed. The atmosphere and welcome are second to none. We sat at the bar and Nikki took the best care of us we have had in years. She was also running service bar for the whole restaurant. Absolutely crushed it! The manager Nicole was more than accommodating. She was attentive and I basically let her order my entire meal. There were no misses. From the tuna tartar to the wagyu bavette steak, everything came out quick and presented perfectly and delicious. Edamame dumplings were incredible. All the nigiri and small plates as well. Probably the most unlikely star of the show was their soft serve ice cream. Basically had everything on the menu and already planning my next visit. What an awesome experience. 10/10“

“Execellente servicios de todo el personal. En especial de Sandra, atenta desde el primer momento. La comida exquisita ??. 100% recomendado“

“Dining at ELYU was such an incredible experience. Walking in you are greeted by the most friendly staff, immediately making you feel at home. Chef Reiji is a visionary carefully crafting each dish to perfection. Overall delicious and a lot of fun. An experience I will never forget and will be back soon.“

“Todo como su comida y su personal de es excelente. Gracias“

“Private exclusive dining experience Excellent service and food And Luis was attentive and gracious We will be back“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“The food prepared by the chefs was second to none. The care, freshness, and authenticity was reflected in every piece of sushi served. That being said, the drink service provided by the restaurant staff was vastly lacking. My wife and I received our drinks during the last course of the meal, after receiving two rounds of drinks that were wrong orders. Fortunately the sushi and chefs made up for the dehydration.“

“Ate there this evening from out of town or server was Noel. Everything we had was absolutely incredible.Warm mushrooms, crab fried eyes, the sushi ceviche, absolutely hands down I will be back!“

“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.“

“Excellent. Fully recommended. Everything we ordered was fantastic, different, tasty. You must try!“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“If I could give this 6 stars, I would. Everything was phenomenal. The service. The food. The coziness in the restaurant. We ordered the chicharrones, broccolini, short rib and chicken. Everything came to perfection. Truly. Also I’m a carrot cake snob and that was by the far the best carrot cake I’ve had in Miami. It was so refreshing with the Greek yogurt cream and meringue slices on top. This is my new favorite restaurant in Miami! But seriously, if you’re reading this, you have to try the broccolini and chicharrones! You will not regret it.“

“Best quality high-quality food, amazing service, and the drink fantastic.

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“Excellent restaurant the best sushi“

“Went with a large group, International Police Association Southern Florida for group celebration service began immediately. We wete not rushed as we had drinks and was shortly joined by our chef. He was pleasent and put on a very good show. Even though he spoke no English we still managed to communicate our desires that was not easy with our large group. At finished eating, we sat around talking and enjoying each other and we were not rushed or pushed out.“

“We had a very enjoyable time at Omakai in Miami this weekend. The restaurant is beautiful and the food and service is excellent. I recommend it highly.“

“Great experience warm welcoming“

“I don’t write reviews much at all. But upon trying this place for the first time and being a quarter into my meal I just had to write one. The presentation (especially getting it delivered for takeout) went above and beyond. My picture I’ll provide probably won’t do it justice. I ordered the 30 piece Dragon Tempura, Tori, and Heaven rolls. All of them were excellent. All in all an 11/10 would definitely recommend to a sushi lover. Great job guys“

“This is my new sushi spot. Easiest 5 star I think I’ve reviewed. I love sushi and Tokyo Tuna has some of the freshest sashimi I’ve ever had specifically the tuna. The Avocado roll was pretty good and the nigiri was a perfect rice to fish ratio. The spicy octopus and gyoza were a great appetizer. And the lychee drink was a great addition to the overall meal. The Thai donuts were literally perfect, soft inside with some having nice layers and others being a nice ball of dough ( great server recommendation). The mochi was alright, definitely the worst part but when everything is on point something to be the worst. Our service was good, didn’t wait too long and we didn’t feel rushed. Will 100% be back to try other dishes.“

“That salmon looks like it melts on contact. Perfect dice, perfect shine. The sesame on top is such a good touch — adds crunch without hiding the fish.Fresh, clean, not overdressed. 10/10
And kristine was so nice we love her“

“La comida excelente la atención súper buena El ambiente muy familiar“

“Had a great experience! Lucas provided excellent service from start to finish friendly, attentive, and very professional. He made sure everything was perfect and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the customer service truly stood out. Highly recommend, and thank you Lucas for the amazing hospitality!“

“Yall. I left STUFFED after having this tasting menu from Belly Fish. I’m usually not willing to do tasting menus because of the lack of variety for the price and I usually also leave hungry, but not with this one. The pricing is great and the portions are fat! I got the red miso crab soup, yellowfin tuna tataki & chirashi bowl with everything. If I had ordered that off the normal menu it would have been $57 vs the $49. Save some money and eat great with this bomb tasting menu. The space is gorgeous, we didn’t have to wait for a table and our server was amazing. Ask for Dario when you go in!“
