“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.“

“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!“

“Kata is always an amazing experience. The food is incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—every dish is outstanding. The service is exceptional, especially thanks to Mika, who always takes such great care of us. We truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism. We will keep coming back always — the Toro & Akami guys!“

“We had a lovely evening, so much so I actually tipped over the 19% mandatory service charge. Chicken gyoza and pork buns followed by spicy crunch tuna rolls and watr rolls (snow crab, avocado). We left happy and full. Special salute to our server Dwayne.“

“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“

“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.“

“Went for breakfast late last week and had three eggs and chicken absolutely delicious highly recommend had a shot of espresso and win again this morning and had three eggs and tuna highly recommend with a shot of espresso great service great atmosphere absolutely a pleasure will be back again tomorrow“

“Everything is great about Toni’s, the food is excellent, the service, cleanliness, I’ll go there every chance I get, love it, servers are the best..“

“We arrived at 9:30 pm and were the only patrons ? which was slightly worrying. But the staff seemed pretty relaxed about it so we thought... maybe this is a really late night place? And we were right! After 45 minutes more people started coming in and we felt less awkward. All that is to say: book a late sitting! Service was great. We're frequent restaurant patrons and know good food... and this food was seriously good. We hadn't expected such excellent food in this ‘clubstaurant' atmosphere but honestly some of the best food we've had in south beach (we live here). Overall, a bit of a weird start being totally alone in a restaurant on a Saturday night, but if you book for 10:00 or later you're in for a great night!“

“Walked in and the front desk staff were friendly and happy to greet us.
Sat at the bar with Robbie highly recommend the service with him as he makes you feel right at home and takes care of you throughout the night - food and bar service. Great conversations, great recommendations on cocktails and knows the menu inside and out.
They gifted us a memorable night, perfect for ladies night, date night, boys night.
Great vibe!
Sushi rolls were so so. Mushy. Though Flavourful.
Yellowtail with orange under cold dish was delicious.
Wagyu dumplings were tasty.
Hot rock Beef on the hot plate - must try. Cook it yourself.
Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable.
Easy to talk with your guests. Perfect lighting to set a relax chill mood.“

“Fresh and tasty sushi in South Beach. I liked the bar seating, the staff is nice and recommend the right flavor from their sake list. I had a couple of appetizers and cold sake, the Usuzukuri had a tasty dressing and the nigiri was fresh and tasty as well.“

“The food was hit, fresh, and cooked just like I ask. plus they gave us alot. we definitely go back again. And highly recommend this spot. 👌“

“Delicious food that made my taste buds search for hidden gems“

“The service in this place is incredible and ppl here are kind. After long day at work I went to pick up my order and as soon as I stepped out the door the wind blew hard enough to rip the take out bag and the food was on the floor. Mario rushed out and helped me, picked up the food and take it back and made everything from scratch without extra cost. I couldn’t be grateful enough“

“We arrived to find that expedia had canceled our reservation for our long awaited bachelotette trip. The manager, Chamise stepped in and was very understanding and accomodating. She made sure that our group of 12 was accomodated with rooms and continued to work on the issue to get us in the designsted rooms for the bride and guests. The extra assistance provided allowed us to continue our vacation seamlessly. Definitely recommend Nobu Miami Hotel!“
