50 Best Sushi Bars near Coconut Grove

“Brian the bartender, king of the bar,
Knows your drink order before you’re too far.
A wink, a shake, a clink of the glass,
He serves you your troubles, then kicks them to pass.

He’s part-time therapist, full-time charmer,
Laugh so smooth, you don’t need armor.
Knows when to talk, when to let you brood,
And somehow remembers everyone’s mood.

He’s got stories that twist, pour, and bend,
But he’ll swear, “I’m just here to tend.”
Yet everyone knows when Brian’s around—
The best kind of spirits aren’t just in the brown.“

“I wasn’t expecting to have such a great Japanese Kaiseki style starters, sushi in Miami. Dobinmushi soup with Matsutake mushrooms was so delicious and muskmelon sherbet was so refreshing.
Everyone is so attentive and I felt l’m in my favorite restaurant I always go in Japan.“

My boyfriend and I each ordered individual rolls and then had some wagyu ramen which was all delicious. The servers were extremely understanding when we asked to switch to a booth, and made it feel like no issue at all.
Our server Roland, was extremely attentive and caring. Food was amazing & the overall vibe of the place was nice as well. Will definitely be back.“

“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“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience dining at this sushi restaurant with our family. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and felt very welcome. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, perfect for a family dinner. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — truly some of the best we’ve ever had. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. Thank you for making our family dinner so special — we’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“This sushi restaurant is located in the food court of a high-end mall and offers ``omakase'' meals, so it was easy to visit even with children.
The price was quite reasonable for an "omakase" menu, but it was the most delicious sushi I've ever had in America. The staff at the store were friendly and the service was good.
I will definitely visit again if I go to Miami.“

“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.“

“We ate at the chefs counter and had the “off the menu” omakase which included an appetizer, a selection of nigiri, miso soup and a dessert. There’s no official sake pairing but the chef does give a recommendation. We love omakase and have it regularly. Chef Tomo is a delight and truly passionate about his menu. The nigiri was very fresh and was not served “plain”, but was topped with various ingredients or flame broiled. This gave some new flavors we had not been exposed to, some may say this is less traditional. However, it was delicious. The appetizer was so good, topped with uni, need I say more. The food and chef counter vibe were 5 stars no doubt. The front of house leaves a lot to be desired. They were on their phones most of the time, had no clue what sake was on the menu or what to recommend, unable to name the fish, weren’t working in a way that seems “high end” or with superior service, in fact they don’t seem to care about this job or restaurant at all which is sad since they are essentially the face of the place. There’s so much potential here.“

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

“LOOOOOOVE. The BEST omakase I’ve ever been to… and I’ve been to a few! All the sushi is like an explosion in your mouth. The chefs Jeremiah and John are so nice and creative and explain everything. The host Julio went above and beyond for me. Pricey but so worth it“

“Faux-makase! (Fake omakase) is exactly what it is. Self proclaimed “non traditional omakase.” Also know as slow-makase. Nossa deserves a noose-a. I was recommended this restaurant by my hotel concierge. Had a horrible experience here. Should have known since they require pre-payment online via tock which actually codes as professional services and not a restaurant so they avoid the credit card fees. By the way, they will ask you to pay a ridiculous and mandatory 20% service charge plus tax after your “meal.” After payment, you will receive an email which says “The day of your reservation you will receive an email with instructions to access to the speakeasy bar.” However, I never received any email. I put nossa into google and it took me to the filthy, run down Hyatt centric hotel. I went inside and asked where the restaurant was and they took me through a stinky alley next to the hotel trash room said to knock the door. This made me extremely uncomfortable and almost decided to just leave. Little did I know the horror I was about to experience. I knocked the door and a lady asked for the password so I gave my last name on the reservation. She didn’t open and kept asking for a password. I demanded she open the door and gave my last name on the reservation. She said I should have received instructions on a paper from another restaurant on the other side of the street which I was not informed of. She said I was late and that they already started so she showed me to my seat. The room felt like a sewer with too many people crammed around a dirty scratched up bar. I was in group 11 which means there were at least 20 guests there. The music was horrendous and unbearable. The ambiance was very creepy. The staff smelled really bad. I was offered a welcome drink which I opted for a sparking water which was not sparking at all as it was flat without bubbles so they brought me a bottle instead. They didn’t ask about any allergies and handed me the first course which I had to spit out because it contained alcohol which I don’t drink. The chef kept inaudibly shouting out the descriptions of the dishes for each course towards different corners of the room in an attempt for everyone to hear but you only hear and understand the words which were said in your direction. All the ingredients were old and not fresh. The food did not taste good. The portions were tiny so don’t think you’ll be full when you leave here by any means. The place is extremely unsanitary. The chef even wipes your plates using the same towel as the previous groups one after another. I was absolutely disgusted. Finally the last course came and again I was served alcohol without being told what it was. Luckily the chef caught it before I could drink it and replaced it with iced tea. I asked if we’re were finished and she said yes. The experience was a complete waste of time so we were happy to walk out and leave. The lady chased us on our way out and said there was an additional payment to be made for gratuity and tax. I asked if this was mandatory and she answered yes. Mind you this was never communicated before. She also said she didn’t have a wireless credit card machine so I gave her my physical card to go swipe and come back. The chef came out, handed me my receipt and credit card then asked: “Is there a reason why you’re unhappy.” I answered: Yes, I didn’t enjoy the experience. He shrugged his shoulders and replied: “I’m sorry but unfortunately not everybody does, I guess” I was shocked and just stormed out. Exit left next to the trash room, literally.“

“Where do I even start ?! Absolutely incredible experience made a reservation online which is super easy thankfully not one of those complicated ones . Katrina was our server who was incredible explaining us the sake options and taking care of us the whole time super attentive & sweet . Rio our chef was awesome great conversation and endless laughs will definitely be booking again soon and recommending to every I know ! What a gem !“

“Excellent attention. I forgot the name of the young woman. But today, Thursday, November 14, an exceptional young woman attended us. We had a while since someone didn't serve us with such kindness, smile, always asking if we were okay, fast service. I would definitely return. The pizza roll was very good, the crab salad was delicious. The white Vine is excellent.“

“Food was delicious. We got the Santory, mango tango and Florida crunch rolls and they were so delicious. And besitos especiales.
Highly recommend the choco-Dubai.

Our server was also really attentive and helpful.“

“Great experience warm welcoming“

“El salmón está delicioso!!“

“If anyone has the chance come during miami spice for a delicious menu. The selection of food was so good, juicy and flavorful, no substitution needed. they even have sparkling or regular water . Def have to come back again for that short rib and pecking duck boa bun, the salmon tartar taquito, the rockshrimp tempura role, and finally that guava and passion fruit ice cream. (P.s even the music felt like a edc or ultra festival whoever was in charge of music that night 5 stars)“

“Sesame Asian is pretty far from me but I have been seeing promos so I took the leap and tried it. I arrived on Friday night and there was plenty of parking in the parking lot. I had friends who had already arrived so we met them in a booth. The con about this part - we didn't see a server for 20 minutes. We had a canteen of water on the table but no water glasses. My guest and I were pretty thirsty for these 20 minutes. We didn't see the original server my friends had seen so we just flagged someone.

Food - pretty impressive for the price. You get unlimited lobster, crab legs, raw oysters, sushi, hot food, dimsum and dessert. They did include a menu where each paying guest can choose one item out of the 4 items they had to be freshly cooked for your table. I went with the creamy udon pasta and my guest chose the lobster. We didn't like that the lobster on the buffet was a full lobster where we had to break it ourselves and that it was cold. When it's cold, the meat is a bit tougher. The oysters were delicious but they didn't have any vinaigrette to pair with. Sushi and sashimi was good. Dimsum were in heated bamboo trays and were decent. The hot food did have a few items that look interesting such as sesame chicken and bulgogi but these items looked overcooked sitting in a heater.

I would say I definitely got my money's worth with a full lobster and oysters. I also really loved the creamy udon pasta and would come back ASAP for that! I did appreciate the scissors and crackers they left next to the lobster because we needed that to break our lobster. It was a lot of work. Last, they brought dessert out to us. We received strawberry ice cream, passion fruit shaved ice, chocolate cheesecake and macarons. I don't think they necessarily go together but we split this and it was a sweet ending.“

“Dani was awesome!! Really great food, the hamachi was so fresh and the rolls are ginormous honestly. Loved it. 10/10 def coming again. Also everything came out so fast. Ever had a martini with sake? Delish here. Never would’ve known. Loved it.“

“Great omakase by a skilled Japanese Itamae. Everything was fresh and delicious. Choices were well thought out to provide a range of tastes snd textures. Service was diligent and attentive. A rare experience in this part of the world.“

“Comida excelente y muy buenas porciones“

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner here. Unassuming, intimate restaurant that easily accommodated our party of five. I asked for the vegan box listed on the menu, but was told they did not have all the ingredients to make the usual dishes, so the chef Kevin created a menu just for me. He was so creative, inventive, and excited about every dish he brought out of the kitchen, and each one was more delicious than the last. I am technically pescatarian, so a few of the dishes had fish sauce, but he would have easily accommodated me with a vegan or vegetarian menu as well. It was honestly one of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Miami/ Coral Gables area.“

“Omg.. this place was SO so good. We got the Tom and Jerry, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and spicy jalapeño. All those rolls came to just $50! Each and every one was super fresh, flavorful, and super filling. We ordered our food to go, and they took maybe less than 10 minutes to prepare and hand it to us. I couldn’t believe how quick it was! Customer service is really good too, we were greeted right away and the girl was super friendly. All in all, 10/10 and I will definitely be back :)“

“As a tourist, it was delicious. Good price and food!“

“Very inviting in a small corner restaurant with outdoor seating. Setup very elegant and great atmosphere! You get what you pay for and in my opinion quality food. Very generous with portions and ingredients...a must visit if you're in the area. Hostess was amazing and friendly by the name of Maria.

Parking: Parking along the street, in small part of the city...well worth trying the restaurant with little shops in the area.“

“THANK YOU ?? Io an Nick restored my faith in humanity. After a very long shift on my way home I google sushi saki homestead. However my phone used location and chose the sunset location. I got to the Homestead store and of course my order was not there. Well I called back and explained and asked what coul I do . IO was like let me speak to my Manager.
