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.

A special shoutout to Zander, who took incredible care of us. He was attentive without ever being intrusive, knew the menu inside and out, and gave us some excellent recommendations that made the meal even better. It’s always a great sign when you return to a restaurant and leave even more impressed than you were the first time.

Pari Pari has quickly become one of my Miami favorites. Already looking forward to visit number three!“

“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.“

“Awesome service.Elena was our server and she did a fantastic job with the customer service ! I took my nephew there to try sushi for the first time and he also rates it a 5/5! The restaurant was also extremely clean and well put together!I will definitely be coming again!“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“Ogawa is easily one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had in Miami.

I went with two of my best friends on a Wednesday night, and we somehow got lucky enough to be the only guests there. It basically turned into a private omakase experience, which made an already special meal even more memorable.

The chef was fantastic—interesting, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful about every dish. You could tell how much intention went into each course, and everything was beautifully executed. The sake selection was also incredible and complemented the meal perfectly. We even added a few extra pieces at the end because we weren’t quite ready for it to be over.

Obviously, Ogawa is not an inexpensive night out, but this is one of those meals where you walk away feeling like it was absolutely worth it. For a special occasion or if you simply love great sushi, I could not recommend Ogawa more. One of Miami’s very best.“

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

“I really enjoyed my to-go order from Blue Ginger.

We ordered 1 JB Roll 1 JB Tempura Roll 2 Tuna Crispy Rice and a bowl of tofu & vegetable pad Thai.

Service: The service was impeccable. The woman we spoke to on the phone to put in the order was so kind. She gave us her recommendations and she even added a side of spring rolls to our order for free! When we asked for extra sides of soy sauce, eel sauce, and spicy mayo she gave us like four of each!

Food: The food was delicious. I love trying every restaurant's version of Tuna crispy rice, and theirs was very unique. They had a whole circular bed of crispy rice, and big scoop of spicy tuna, avocado, and masago on top. It was the perfect amount of spicy and crispy.

The sushi rolls were really good too. I accidentally got my JB roll regular vs. Inside out which I normally do because the seaweed tastes too fishy and for once, this one didn't.

Ambiance: I didn't go inside because it was a to-go order and I waited in the car, but I'm sure it's really nice inside and I can't wait to go again.“

“every thing was delicious from the ramen to there fried rice and ending with there Flowerpot Cake“

“El mejor sushi de Miami. This is the only sushi in Miami area that’s actually filling and delicious. The food comes out fast and always the best quality. I’ve come here multiple times and they have never disappointed me.“

“I work near this restaurant and I eat here often for lunch or after an event. Service is fast. Very nice atmosphere. Food and drinks are great. I love how they serve your food in these cute, creative ways. My top three sushi spot!!!“

“Food is always delicious, I highly recommended“

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

“La comida excelente la atención súper buena El ambiente muy familiar“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“This hidden treasure destroys your stereotype that the food quality at revolving sushi places (like Kuro) are generally mid. Each piece of fish is fresh and well prepared. You will notice it with your first bite. They had blue fin tuna specials and the otoro and a kami was worth every penny! You can also order their kitchen food, which is also very high quality. Their udon noodle is a must try, because you can tell their broth is specially made in house. The one downfall was the atmosphere. This place is packed so make a reservation or get there early. An hour wait is nothing. It is also obviously a local hotspot because it seemed the staff knew most of the customers on a first name basis. As a traveler passing by, I was pretty much waiting int eh corner watching everyone be friendly and feeling ignored. Locals were offered to order drinks while they wait, while not a word was spoken to me up until I was getting close to getting a table. But, still a 5-star in my opinion because of the food quality and the price.“

“Excellent restaurant the best sushi“

“Amazing food and atmosphere!! Christina was very attentive and nice!“

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

“Great customer service by Christian! Delicious sushi - the tuna tartar was my favorite!!! Two thumbs up! 👍 👍 Highly recommend it!“

“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“

“Great food. The edamame is amazing“

“Looove Kuro! Not only is the food amazing but the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable in their dishes. We had Luis as our waiter and he made the difference in our experience as he led us through deciding what to order based on our interests. Their chefs are not only incredibly talented, but they make their dishes memorable (at least for me the short rib) 🥹

Few must have recs: Chilean, sea bass, beef short rib, Wagyu tacos

Will definitely come back again! Also recommend to make reservations in case they get full“

“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.“

“como quien dice que llegamos por casualidad a este restaurante, el sushi está delicioso, los precios muy buenos y las personas muy amables, creo que eso es lo que buscamos cuando vamos a un restaurante, continuaremos yendo a este lugar. me encanta la ensalada de aguacate con cangrejo y todo lo demás también ja ja“

“The food is excellent always fresh. I literally order it three times a week if not more! The first time I tried, it was in their Hollywood location, which was also stellar! Always, Fresh, and the prices are amazing! Definitely check it out!“

“The food was amazing!! The omakase choices of each and every dish were absolutely very tasty and each flavor was more rich and fresh than the other: A real feast for your palate! The setting was intimate and yet the vibes were energetic and the atmosphere really pleasant. The service was defined by one word:impeccable Mel was unbelievably courteous and was there for our very need. Julian and Natchira also helped make our dining experience a memorable one. We will definitely be back for more :)“

“The hostess was a little rude when we called to make a reservation but other than that, the service was spectacular. The rooftop was very vibey which was very cool. The view was better over near the bathrooms but still a great experience. The food was amazing - make sure you try the kimchi bowl and tuna rolls. They have amazing coffee as well.“

“We had an amazing experience at Kamiko! The service was excellent from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The sushi and poke bowl exceeded our expectations. Everything was full of flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great sushi and outstanding service!“

“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.“
