KAE Sushi by Chef Landa

Small place with a relaxed vibe. The service was excellent and the food was very, very good. It’s on Giralda, in Coral Gables, FL, so you can expect parking to be difficult on a weekend. I started eating, and later remembered to take pics, so food is half eaten but you get the idea.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Diamond-Level Experience at KAE Sushi by Chef Landa

If I could give more than five stars, I would. We were visiting from Austin with time for one meal before our flight home. We picked KAE Sushi by Chef Landa in Coral Gables and it was the best decision of our Miami trip.

The fish was beyond fresh. We started with hamachi jalapeño appetizers and immediately ordered another round. The yellowtail was buttery with perfect heat from the jalapeño. The salmon tartare had incredible silky texture. Even the miso soup was exceptional.

We asked for Kirin Ichiban, our usual sushi beer, but they didn’t carry it. They recommended Belle Epoque 1900, a French beer, instead. We tried it and it was fantastic, pairing excellently with our food.

The Toro and Caviar Roll was phenomenally prepared with gold flakes and truffle oil. Every element balanced perfectly. The Miami Roll blew my mind with plantain on sushi. I’d never had it before and now I’m wishing for plantain on every roll. Chef Landa’s fusion of tropical sweetness with traditional sushi was genius.

My 10-year-old loves sushi and asked to sit at the counter to watch Chef Ibrahim work. Chef Ibrahim made special space for him and spent the entire meal teaching him about cuts and techniques. My son was over the moon watching the master at work.

Chef Ibrahim and his wife made us feel like family, but it wasn’t just them. The whole staff treated us like we belonged there. When my wife complimented our server’s perfume, the server brought over her personal bottle and shared a few spritzes with her. My wife was delighted. This genuine care for our experience that you rarely find anymore. This diamond-level service is what sets KAE apart.

We’re already planning our next Miami trip specifically to eat here again. To Chef Ibrahim, his wife, and the KAE team: thank you for making our Texas family’s last meal in Miami so special.

Go to KAE. You won’t regret it.

Best sushi restaurant in Coral Gables. You need to order the Salmon Sensation. This is one of the longest lasting restaurants on Giralda. This only happens for #1 reason. Make sure to ask for Katie, the owner!

An overlooked gem in the Gables, the quality of the sushi is 5/5, my daughter’s first time truly enjoying her sushi experience. The ambience was warm and inviting. Cathleen, the owner, who served us, was attentive and kind. Would come again.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, setting the perfect tone for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience.

Every dish was a work of art—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi was some of the best I’ve ever had—melt-in-your-mouth quality and bursting with authentic flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the skill behind every roll.

But what truly set this place apart was the service. Kathy was great!!!!! Eager to make our experience special.

If you’re looking for top-tier sushi with five-star service, this is the place. Highly recommend—it’s a true gem!

I recently had dinner at a restaurant in Coral Gables and honestly, it was a great experience. The sushi was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. Our server, Carlina, gave us some fantastic recommendations that really made a difference. The service overall was warm and attentive; everyone made us feel really welcome. I also appreciated that the manager or owner stopped by to check in and make sure we were enjoying everything. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. I’d definitely go back.
