“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.“

“Food was phenomenal. Highly recommend“

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

“We came in for dinner and had a great experience. We ordered the Jungle and Crazy Ebi rolls, and they were both ridiculously good!

This isn't your average sushi spot—it’s a definitely a unique find with a Latin twist. I noticed most of the rolls come with cream cheese, but I prefer mine without; I asked them to accommodate and they did so without any issues. So good!“

“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!“

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

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

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

“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“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“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.“

“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!“

“Yet another spectacular surprise on the culinary map! I consider myself incredibly fortunate to experience meals of this caliber, especially while collaborating with such phenomenal clients on exciting new projects.

Architecturally, the venue is a triumph. The design framework is visually arresting and creates an immediate sense of place.

The front-of-house execution was flawless. The staff were radiant, exceptionally attentive, and possessed a deep technical knowledge of the menu. Service pacing was immaculate—anticipatory rather than reactive.

From a menu-engineering standpoint, the balance between land and sea protein is brilliantly executed. It is inclusive enough to satisfy a discerning palate while remaining accessible to more conservative diners.

Engrossed in high-level conversation, we surrendered ordering autonomy to our server and requested a bespoke, multi-course selection. She delivered a masterclass in curation.

While the visuals speak volumes, they only hint at the palate's reality. The flavor profiles and execution were exceptional. Each dish demonstrated meticulous presentation and a level of finesse that beautifully matched the flavors. Portion scaling was precise, allowing a party of six to share comfortably with enough for a second bite.

The standout of the night was undeniably the Chilean sea bass. It was executed to absolute succulent perfection, bound by a savory glaze that masterfully elevated—rather than masked—the pristine, inherent profile of the fish.

On my next visit, I plan to explore the raw bar and precision sushi rolls. A technical note for the finish: do not skip dessert. The donuts are decadently elite.

Kuro delivers on every metric. If you stop by the bar for a high-proof, well-crafted cocktail, say hello to Marcos and let him know Nick sent you.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere with fabulous food and service. Our server knew the intricacies of the menu and was very helpful in our selections.
The cocktail menu is also very unique and delicious. They have a DJ who kept the atmosphere very modern and fun.
Love this place and would recommend. Very much a Michelin type experienc.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We found this sushi place while looking for something to eat. We came around 6 PM and were seated right away with no wait.
The sushi was fresh, which is a big deal for us because if my boyfriend and I eat sushi that isn’t fresh, we usually end up with upset stomachs. Everything we had tasted fresh and we had no issues.
If you don’t see the sushi you want ,you can always order directly from the menu. It’s much faster, you get exactly what you want without waiting and no one will cut you off take you plate. 🤣“

“Very fresh fast and delicious!!!“

“sashimi, Thai soup, duck soup, lucky wanton soup“

(I’m not a big review person so I hope that says something about this place!)“

He checked on us regularly without being overbearing, had a great attitude, and made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. The service was prompt, and he took great care of us from start to finish. We really appreciated his excellent customer service and will definitely be back. Thanks, Bronson!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Ke-uH Restaurant at Acqualina Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant is elegant, cozy, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious! I especially enjoyed the Salmon Pizza, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Tuna Tartare was outstanding, and the sushi was some of the best I've had—beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. Everything about our evening was enjoyable, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere.“

“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. 💯💯💯❤️🙏“

“***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.“

“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.“

“I cannot begin to explain how amazing this place is. Not only was the sushi the freshest I've had, but it was also the most delicious. Sonia and Rosa were absolutely amazing, not only did they provide excellent service, but they were also incredibly kind and thoughtful.

Temaki is the perfect combination of a small, family business and an absolutely stellar dining experience. My girlfriend and I absolutely loved it.

I cannot wait to come back!!“

“Excellent service, food choices, food & desserts ❤️❤️❤️“

“A wonderful find during our stay in Miami, and the music and cocktails were perfect for a great evening with friends. A big thank you to Anas for his warm welcome and excellent service from start to finish.
This should be part of your plan if you visit Miami !“

“Restaurant is trendy and cozy, customer service was great and quick. Every dishes were delicious and fresh. We’ll be back soon!“

“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.“

“VARIOUS SUSHI ROLLS, BASIL FRIED RICE, & VARIOUS NOODLE BOWLS!!! THAI DRINKS! SAM IS SO SO GREAT 👍👍“

“Great food, they served amazing sushi 🍱 and delicious Thai food and when it comes to Thai, the best of all it’s that you can choose from 6 different types of sauces from mild to hot 🥵….impeccable service and nice atmosphere!“

“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!“
