29 Best Japanese Restaurants in Miami Beach

“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.“

“Faux-makase! (Fake omakase) is exactly what it is. Self proclaimed “non traditional omakase.” Also know as slow-makase. Nossa deserves a noose-a. I was recommended this restaurant by my hotel concierge. Had a horrible experience here. Should have known since they require pre-payment online via tock which actually codes as professional services and not a restaurant so they avoid the credit card fees. By the way, they will ask you to pay a ridiculous and mandatory 20% service charge plus tax after your “meal.” After payment, you will receive an email which says “The day of your reservation you will receive an email with instructions to access to the speakeasy bar.” However, I never received any email. I put nossa into google and it took me to the filthy, run down Hyatt centric hotel. I went inside and asked where the restaurant was and they took me through a stinky alley next to the hotel trash room said to knock the door. This made me extremely uncomfortable and almost decided to just leave. Little did I know the horror I was about to experience. I knocked the door and a lady asked for the password so I gave my last name on the reservation. She didn’t open and kept asking for a password. I demanded she open the door and gave my last name on the reservation. She said I should have received instructions on a paper from another restaurant on the other side of the street which I was not informed of. She said I was late and that they already started so she showed me to my seat. The room felt like a sewer with too many people crammed around a dirty scratched up bar. I was in group 11 which means there were at least 20 guests there. The music was horrendous and unbearable. The ambiance was very creepy. The staff smelled really bad. I was offered a welcome drink which I opted for a sparking water which was not sparking at all as it was flat without bubbles so they brought me a bottle instead. They didn’t ask about any allergies and handed me the first course which I had to spit out because it contained alcohol which I don’t drink. The chef kept inaudibly shouting out the descriptions of the dishes for each course towards different corners of the room in an attempt for everyone to hear but you only hear and understand the words which were said in your direction. All the ingredients were old and not fresh. The food did not taste good. The portions were tiny so don’t think you’ll be full when you leave here by any means. The place is extremely unsanitary. The chef even wipes your plates using the same towel as the previous groups one after another. I was absolutely disgusted. Finally the last course came and again I was served alcohol without being told what it was. Luckily the chef caught it before I could drink it and replaced it with iced tea. I asked if we’re were finished and she said yes. The experience was a complete waste of time so we were happy to walk out and leave. The lady chased us on our way out and said there was an additional payment to be made for gratuity and tax. I asked if this was mandatory and she answered yes. Mind you this was never communicated before. She also said she didn’t have a wireless credit card machine so I gave her my physical card to go swipe and come back. The chef came out, handed me my receipt and credit card then asked: “Is there a reason why you’re unhappy.” I answered: Yes, I didn’t enjoy the experience. He shrugged his shoulders and replied: “I’m sorry but unfortunately not everybody does, I guess” I was shocked and just stormed out. Exit left next to the trash room, literally.“

“Was one of the best. Food 110% !!“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“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..“

“My Review to INTIMO: It's simply put one of the best restaurants in Miami. Any angle you look at it: food quality, taste and presentation; service impeccable; cocktails far from average & usual - interesting, full flavor, gorgeously presented. The dishes and cups. The edible bright flowers that bring life and color to the plate. The waiters! Knowledgeable, delicate, with a sense of humor. Violinist - modernistic rap music that sounds like Bach. Ambiance. The light low key table lamps that look like candles. Beautiful photography and chachkas on the walls. One of the main courses we ordered - polenta with crab meat. I could just do this polenta alone like a dessert cream brûlée. It's a place to return to. Thanks to the chef Juan Chipoco, thanks to every person working at INTIMO who helped to create THE experience. Isabel Levin“

I definitely recommend this place for any sushi lover looking for an authentic dining experience in a pleasant setting. I'll be back soon!“

“Queen Miami Beach is a premier restaurant that seamlessly blends top-tier Japanese cuisine with a luxurious ambiance, offering an experience akin to a lavish artistic feast“

“I recently tried their chicken gyoza and lychee salmon sushi, and I have to say, both were absolutely delicious. The pricing was also quite reasonable, especially compared to other restaurants in Miami. The ambiance was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. Overall, it was worth every dollar!“

“The best sushi dinner experience I've ever had. Exclusive speak easy tucked away in a secret corridor of the hotel. We had the server, manager, sommelier, and 2 chefs all to ourselves for the service. We felt like royalty in our anniversary. All dishes are a work of art and taste like heaven. Highly recommend for a special dinner or date with a special someone.“

“I had a wonderful time at Japón last night! After seeing some negative reviews I was a little worried as I can be picky. The team did a wonderful job at giving us a great meal! The food came out in perfect timing, the raw fish dishes were high quality. The miso cod was cooked perfectly. They even brought us an off menu dish my friend requested. ❤️ We were treated like guests in a home and didn’t have to ask a waiter for assistance as they were checking on us right when we needed something. I want to give my biggest thanks to Alberto who was making sure everything ran smoothly for our group. He was once of the best service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Thanks so much Japón team!“

“I love it 🍽 So Delicious 🥂“

“This place is absolutely unbelievable. My friends and I stumbled upon it almost a year ago when we were looking for a new sushi spot and we have been obsessed ever since. The food is divine and consistently delicious. The service and atmosphere is always fantastic. The staff is so friendly and the manager, Hayes, brings amazing energy to this spot! If there’s any place your looking to go out to eat, it should be Sushi Bichi!! I really could not recommend it more.“

“the pork egg rolls are amazing!! bad surprise on the hand roll sushi tho! didnt expect we had to do this ourselves. and we didnt ask for utensils so they just dont include them which we definitely needed!“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“I was here in September. My reservation was at 6:30pm, and I’ll tell you, it’s the best time because this restaurant is on the rooftop, and it’s very beautiful. By the time you take a few pictures, they’ll bring your food, and you can enjoy an incredible meal during the sunset. I had the spicy tuna roll and chicken dumplings, and it was unbelievably delicious. The ingredients are high-quality, and the dishes are prepared to perfection. Thank you to the staff for the excellent service—I’m impressed! I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. You’re the best, and I wish you continued success! Thank you for being here!

Parking: The cost of parking $50 but if you make a validation it’s gonna be $30“

“This restaurant featured an authentic Japanese menu and was beautifully appointed. This place would be great for romantic dates- the waitstaff was friendly, nice, and courteous with our questions and helped us make the best choices from the menu. The cocktail list included many combinations we had not had before and was fun to explore. We loved this place and would definitely include it in our travel plans next year.“

“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!“
