Japanese Restaurants near Key Biscayne

“Paper Crane is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Miami. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and modern, with just the right balance of upscale and cozy. The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.

The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The sushi was fresh and perfectly crafted, and the Pad Thai had just the right amount of Teriyaki Sauce. The JB Tempura Sushi Roll is a standout—soft, flavorful, and completely addictive.

Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a special dinner, Paper Crane delivers on every level. It’s clear that a lot of care and creativity goes into everything they serve. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves bold, fresh Asian cuisine . Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great food and exceptional service !!!“

“Sushi Siam delivers delicious food with a wide-ranging menu that covers both Thai and Japanese favorites.
Dishes come out as they're ready, so don’t expect everything to arrive at once. In a modern twist, food is delivered by a robot, which is fun to watch but means minimal interaction with staff. An 18% tip is automatically included in the bill, so keep that in mind when settling up.“

“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.“

“A+ on food through service and everything in between.“

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

“El mejor sushi de Miami! Siempre que voy pido el Suntory y el Blue Bird roll. A mis hijos les encantan los postres, uno mejor que el otro!“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“As a Japanese, this is the only place I would call authentic in Miami. The balance between sushi rice and fish, is beyond amazing. For their service and quality, it makes sense that the price range is higher but its Miami so compare here to others, it definitely worth it!“

“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!“

“You will not get better sushi in the United States and I’d go as far to say as the world. Chef Shingo and Chef Yuta are world class and their Michelin star speaks for itself. They are serving the highest quality fish. I’ve had Michelin star omakase in Tokyo and this is just as good if not better. The service is bar none spectacular. This is my 2nd time visiting and it won’t be my last!“

“Always amazing food (always the freshest sushi!) , service (friendly and helpful) and atmosphere. Luisa was amazing and attentive! Outside is lovely, inside you may need a sweater! I’m so happy to have this jewel of Miami Springs so close to my home!“

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

“Incredible birthday experience. Chef Masa was lovely and answered all of our questions while we delighted ourselves with the dinner. The servers were extremely attentive and kind. Food was exquisite, and the ambience too. My only feedback would be to change the music to something more elegant and perhaps traditional, rather than pop-ish music.“

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

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

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

“This is what Miami needed! An actual handroll bar that knows what it is doing!

The staff is attentive and have an amazing vibe.
The restaurant is chic with a speakeasy vibe that makes you want to stay all night.
The HANDROLLS - WOW! You can tell their quality is superior and for the pricing, you might as well call it happy hour all night!

Thank you for an amazing experience!“

“I love the hand rolls, drinks, and deserts here! The happy hour is incredible value for such great quality food. The lobster hand roll and wagyu hand rolls are the absolute best. Sabrina and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind as well.

Update: Scoob is the absolute best. So happy every time we get to see him when we visit for the sushi Sunday happy hour!“

“The chefs special sashimi was so fresh. Texture was very delicate and melted in the mouth. The toro hand roll was filled with delicious fatty tuna and had the right amount of bite. Loved seeing the two talented sushi masters upfront working their craft, precisely cutting the fish, into vibrant work of arts.

Service was wonderful too would come again! The handroll was so good I ordered an additional toro and salmon roll.“

“This is a wonderdul place..The Sushi is spectular...I highly recomend..“

“Stunning restaurant in Brickell Restaurant. My husband and I love good food and the sexy fish did not disappoint. A little too crowded for my liking but that’s just a preference thing. The atmosphere was very upbeat and presentation of each meal was perfect. 10/10 recommend. If you’re looking for a luxurious Asian experience then this is it! The female restroom seems to be the place where all the ladies go to take selfies 😂 Proceed with caution lol ⛔️ ⚠️“

“Best restaurant in Brickell 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.“

“Shokudo is one of my go-to spots for Japanese food. Their nigiri is always fresh and delicious, and the tempura shrimp is perfectly crispy without being heavy. Every time we come here, the food is consistently good.

It’s also a great value for money—you get high quality without breaking the bank. We come often and it’s become one of our favorite regular spots.“

“Celebrated my birthday at the spa with my husband, and afterward we headed to Watr for lunch - wow, what a beautiful spot! The service was incredible thanks to our server, Gano. The sushi was fabulous (I had two rolls and shared a third with my husband), and the espresso martini was just as good.\n\nMy husband ordered the burger, and we both loved the overall vibe. The DJ was amazing - he played all my favorite house music tracks, and it made the whole experience even better. I could’ve stayed at Watr all day. It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy the gorgeous weather, and soak in the great music.\n\nThe customer service was truly exceptional from beginning to end, and Gano was especially delightful and attentive. I’ll definitely be back with a bigger group to stay even longer next time!\nThank you for an unforgettable birthday celebration -I had the best time. And the DJ is a keeper!“

“Amazing experience that will inspire you to elevate your food senses and completely takes dining to another level. Truly unique food creations from beginning to end that will satisfy your appetite for world class curated food based on your own menu and created by a terrific chef.“

“Best Omakase we have had in the US. Chef Erik brings new meaning to the experience — the creativity of his preparation and flavors he brings to every bite is like no other. I don't like Uni and i loved it here for the first time. Talented, great personality and made my husband's birthday really special. We will be back. This is by the way a soace that holds 6 seats and it was just the 2 of us that night. Sake selection is also impressive.“

“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.“
