“Every visit to Umaimon is consistently exceptional. The service is always top-notch, and Angelina truly stands out—she’s not only incredibly kind but also provides attentive, professional service that enhances the entire dining experience.

The food is absolutely amazing, with every dish crafted to perfection. One of the highlights is the mango ice cream—an unforgettable dessert and a must-try for anyone visiting. Additionally, Umaimon offers a sake flight (sampler of three sakes), and Angelina’s recommendations are always spot on, making it a great way to explore different flavors.

If you’re looking for delicious food, outstanding service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Umaimon is the place to go.“

“The BEST white fish ceviche I have EVER had! It was so good, we ordered a “to-go” and ate it today right before our flight back to Texas! This team is doing it RIGHT!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!! I will be back! 💕 A Texas Ceviche Snob 🤣“

“I've been meaning to try Sushi Corner after reading many reviews about how tasty and affordable this restaurant is, finding all these reviews to be completely true! This hole in the wall gem of West Kendall is well worth your time to try! I came in with my boyfriend last night to their small no frills location and was immediately greeted by our server who was very attentive throughout our whole meal. It's true that they do serve everything using plastic ware which to me doesn't matter at all. I care about the quality of food and the food is definitely top notch! My boyfriend and I decided to order various menu items to share. I started with a hot bowl of Miso Soup $2 which was good; loved the portion which I felt was more than most places. Next we had the Rainbow Roll $10 (California roll topped w/various fish) which was glaringly fresh and came out beautifully. The Sexy Roll $10 (fish tempura, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, rolled w/soy paper, tempura flakes, eel sauce, spicy mayo) was by far my favorite just because of all the incredible flavors in it. The Florida Roll $9 (spicy conch, cucumber, masago) definitely surprised me with its spice level and amount of conch within it. Lastly, we ordered the Sushi Corner Fried Rice $8 (chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and masago) which ultimately surprised me in portion and tastiness. The fried rice isn't over done with soy sauce so it remains tasting light though its also savory because of a smoky flavor. So tasty! Can't wait to try your other roles and highly recommend to anyone in the area as I think they also deliver!“

“Food was really good, sadly the service is terrible, you have to be on top of the waitresses asking for the food, we were 3, and di not serve us on time, one was waiting the other 2 watching, then the appetizers came after the main course, too disorganized. The environment is family and friends oriented. Waiting time for the food to start serving was about 43 min. I always have a timer so I can see how long does it take to get served.“

“My expectations were truly exceeded. This is not your typical sushi joint. The chef there definitely is building their dishes with love and care. They seem to use real crab meat wherever you would normally have “sea leg” and every single item in our order was delicious, super fresh, prepared uniquely, and reasonably priced. And it’s delivered! Super bonus. Do it, you won’t regret it. Awesome place. Welcome to the neighborhood.“

“Delicious food, many options, well worth it.“

“Greatj time , lovely special time with my kids“

“Authentic Peruvian fusion cuisine with amazing atmosphere and outstanding service. A true gem In Pinecrest. The ceviche is the best in town with real fresh fish. My favorite is the Apaltado 1111 Ceviche with the amazing leche de Tigre and avocados !! The sticky shrimps are a must. 1111 has a fabulous Pisco sour selection and imported drinks. Don’t leave without finishing with a sweet bite of the dreamy suspiro limeño it will literally take your breath away. The Friday life music was fantastic too. May I also add that the home delivery service is fantastic, the food will arrive quickly, in perfect presentation and fresh, same quality as in the restaurant. I just plated it and had a gorgeous and delicious dinner party at home.“

“Very good customer service, great food ❤️❤️“

“This has not been my first time dining at sushi Maki in Dadeland. I actually go quite often and take my parents with me. Today is my parents 58th wedding anniversary and they both wanted to go to sushi maki to celebrate for lunch. As always we were greeted with friendly hand waves. Leo was our waiter and gave us the incredible service that we are used to. We told him we were there to celebrate my parents anniversary and at the end of our meal he brought out an assortment of dessert treats on the house. I will say it again this is the best sushi maki with the best employees and the best service! Thank you Leo for making it so special.“

“Fresh sushi, fast service & always clean. Owner/ sushi chef is cool.“

“Sister mentioned this place and heard they make their own eel sauce so had to judge.

Food was absolutely delicious and I adored the eel sauce! Very small though. Max 6 people can sit in this place so don't bring to big group.

Try Alex #2 Sushi, was absolutely so good.“

“The food is excellent! Great service, I recommend.“

“It was a great and enjoyable experience. The workers there were very nice and had great manners. Everything was perfect and I would love to go again.“

“The service and the highest quality of sushi 🍣. Always fresh and Amazing! The Best in South Miami, highly recommend.“

“Usually order pick up or Uber eats. They have never gotten my order wrong and date pretty open with any requests depending on the employee. I go here mainly for the beef tataki and the amount they give for the price. And they are pretty good and serving it thinly sliced just how we love it.“

“Best sushi in town. Everything is so fresh. Definitely a place to check out.“

“10/10 service is amazing/ staff is very professional and help with any doubts we had , love this place
would definitely recommend friendly people all around great vibes and amazing place to spend time with friends and family love it“

“Since my first visit, I’ve had the pleasure of dining at sushi sake , and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and the service only continued to impress throughout the evening.

What really made this experience special, though, was the service. Angel, the manager, was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and taken care of. As he always does. He even took the time to personally recommend some of the restaurant's best-selling dishes, which was a thoughtful touch. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available without being intrusive.“

“We ended up getting the gyoza as an appetizer. Omg they were cooked perfectly! And the sauce was delicious!
We got 2 hibachi orders too. One chicken and scallops and one steak and chicken. The yum yum sauce was amazing and the food was delicious! I'm definitely going back.

Ended up spending about $65 on the appetizer and 2x combo platters which isn't bad for the amount and the mix.

I'm glad a good hibachi spot is around. Go check them out!“

“This place is a hidden gem in west Kendall. My girlfriend and I fell in love since the first visit. Hot sake and cold beer is a must! The sushi comes out on point and delicious. Staff is friendly, funny, and super attentive. Shout out to my bartenders Mike & Mike! (Yes, there’s two lol). And can’t not mention my guy Eddie, that man is awesome! All being said though the only dark spot in this bright establishment is Siri (obviously not the apple version). I’ve been to this place a ton of times and have witnessed her mistreating the staff. She needs to go.“

“This restaurant is family. Not to mention the food is amazing and the service is family. Been coming here for years. If you have not tried Bangkok Cuisine in Homestead STOP MISSING OUT. Try out the Shushi bar.“

“Great food..Siam Chicken my choice. Many choices to meet your desires. Consistently delicious, fresh and large portions. You will not leave hungry! ❤️🍷“

“✨ A First-Time Hibachi Experience We’ll Never Forget! ✨

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Samurai in Miami, and let me tell you—it was a feast for the senses from start to finish! 💫

From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm, welcoming, and full of excitement. We were lucky enough to have Sergio as our Hibachi Chef, and WOW—he was phenomenal! His charisma, skill, and showmanship turned dinner into a performance we’ll be talking about for weeks. Every sizzle, flip, and flame was pure joy 🔥🍤.

And our server? Though I didn’t catch his name, I know he’s the best in the house—short hair, two-toned, glasses, and a heart of gold. His kindness and attention to detail made us feel so cared for. Truly the kind of service that elevates a meal into a memory 💖.

The food itself? A visual masterpiece and an explosion of flavor. Every bite was crafted with care, and the presentation was stunning. It was our first Hibachi experience, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.

We left so happy, full of delicious food and even fuller hearts. I’d recommend Samurai without hesitation—and we’re already dreaming of our next visit. Thank you for making our night unforgettable!“

“Down right amazing, hibachi was great and the sushi was perfect“

“Por mi cumpleaños la doctora compró lunch en este restaurante y nos encanto muy buen sabor,rapidez y customer service divino,disfrutamos mucho volveremos a comprar de seguro.lo recomiendo 💯 %5 🌟“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Sushi Maki thanks to our server, Mateo! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome with her friendly personality and genuine attentiveness. She was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations (the sushi rolls she suggested were absolutely delicious), and made sure everything came out perfectly timed.

What stood out most was how attentive she was without being overbearing—always checking in at the right moments and making sure our drinks were never empty. Mateo’s professionalism and warm attitude really elevated the dining experience and made the night feel special.

Sushi Maki already has great food, but service like Mateo’s is what makes me want to keep coming back. Highly recommend asking for her if you visit!“

“I would say this is good Chinese food. Depends on what you order though. Portions are great for the $. Chicken Broccoli and the fried rice are solid. Never let me down yet. Gave 5 stars because I ordered a few minutes before closing and they took good care of me. My fault for not reading the hours right and the guy was super cool about it.“

“The best Avocado salad ever the presentation alone is gourmet Also I love when you ask for your California Roll cut into ten pieces extra Ginger Great Service“

“We were out for a walk in the Gables and decided to stop for sushi. We ordered 2 rolls—both were prepared decently and the fish tasted fresh. There was only one other table of guests at 12:30 but it looked like busy take out orders. Maybe that’s why the service was really lackadaisical—had to ask for drink refills, were handed a box for our remaining pieces without any service or ginger or sauce as would find in a take out order and we had the equivalent of a full roll left.“

“I am a big favorite of gyoza and Iron Sushi’s doesn’t disappoint. I also liked the eel roll. They make it with the rice on the outside and topped with masago. The dynamite roll is so thick so it’s hard to get it in your mouth. Very tasty! I finally figured out the best way to eat it is from the dynamite first after you dip it in soy sauce. The service is lightning fast and very friendly, And the prices are not too high either.“

“been eating here for years. great food,quality and selection.“

“Went here for the first time and it instantly became one of my favorite spots in Miami. Our server Jasmine was very friendly and very knowledgeable on the menu, she recommended some killer sake and some of the best sushi I have ever had. The service was beyond my expectations and I will definitely be coming more often.“
