“Hiyakawa went above and beyond what was expected. My husband is a huge sushi lover, and me, not as much; but it was a nice date night for him, so I figured I’d get some gyoza and the wagyu and egg nigiri and be perfectly happy. Well, I was about to be SO impressed. We were sat at the sushi bar, and had the most amazing service from one of the sushi chefs. After we put in our order he overheard my husband thanking me for bringing him and the sushi chef realized I wasn’t much of a raw fish gal… he made it his goal to have me try something new that he thought would help bridge the gap. He absolutely astounded. I LOVED the nigiri he had me try so much and was overall so impressed with the passion and love that goes into the craft there. My husband said it has ruined all other sushi for him, lol. Amazing and so grateful we chose this place in a city full of excellent restaurants.“

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

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

“I had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, but what really stood out was the service. Fabiola was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire visit.

And I especially have to highlight LUISA — her drinks were AMAZING. You can really tell how much talent and dedication she puts into every cocktail. Every drink was perfectly made, with incredible flavor and presentation. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Luisa truly made the experience even more special, and I would definitely come back mainly for her drinks. Highly recommend trying anything made by her.“

“Alex, thank you so much for your hospitality.

I came with a friend, and it was our first time seeing each other in awhile. He made our reunion so special. We asked him to help course out and choose our meals. Everything was SPECTACULAR. The food was so fresh and flavorful. I am so grateful for his recommendations. He even was able to educate us on the tiers of Sake.

So much fun and delicious food. We will come back !!!!“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Sushi Sake Miami Springs with my wife and another couple, who are also friends and Miami Springs residents. Everything was excellent, the food, the service, and the overall value.

Marianna took great care of us and made the experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. The servings were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food was outstanding. I am always especially careful when eating raw fish, but everything we ordered tasted fresh, well prepared, and of excellent quality.

We are lucky to have a place like Sushi Sake right here in Miami Springs, so close to home. We will definitely be back!“

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

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

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

“Incredible atmosphere and interior design! The happy house is probably the best deal in Miami. Edamame dumplings are insane! Staff, particularly Nick and Colin, were both super hospitable. Highly recommend to anyone craving Asian food or who just want a nice night out 🙏🏼“

“Josue did our hibachi for my husband and I and it was his first day and he was AMAZING & very entertaining!! This was my husband and I second time here and they NEVER miss!! We love love love it here!! Our server Tiana was also AMAZING!! Omg!! She had recently started serving here and was on point with everything!!! I can not wait to come for the 3rd time!! Loll a must go!!“

“I absolutely love Blue Ginger and go almost once a week. I truly enjoy the bar concept with the floating sushi boats. It’s such a fun way to try a variety of sushi instead of ordering one plate of the same thing. I’ve been coming here for years and they never disappoint.

A few days ago, I placed a catering order for a small get-together at my house. I ordered a platter where I could choose the sushi, and they had so many great options. I was blown away by how beautiful the tray was. The presentation was colorful, fresh, and top of the line.

Thank you, Blue Ginger, for always providing great service, whether dining in or ordering to go. You guys are amazing!“

“I don’t write reviews much at all. But upon trying this place for the first time and being a quarter into my meal I just had to write one. The presentation (especially getting it delivered for takeout) went above and beyond. My picture I’ll provide probably won’t do it justice. I ordered the 30 piece Dragon Tempura, Tori, and Heaven rolls. All of them were excellent. All in all an 11/10 would definitely recommend to a sushi lover. Great job guys“

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

“Food is always delicious, I highly recommended“

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

“I honestly have no words to describe this place. This is by far my favorite sushi restaurant in Miami!!!!!!!!

Everything was exceptional, from the service to the quality of every dish. The owner personally came to check in, which made the experience feel even more special.

The kampachi sashimi was hands down my number one favorite, absolutely out of this world. We also loved the tempura shrimp, and the fresh wasabi prepared at the table really shows the level of care and quality.

We finished with a matcha cake, and honestly, I couldn’t pick a favorite because everything was incredible. The price was also more than fair for the quality.

Already excited to come back. If you’re in Miami and love sushi, this place is a must. 100% recommend🤤🤤😍😍❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“Execellente servicios de todo el personal. En especial de Sandra, atenta desde el primer momento. La comida exquisita ??. 100% recomendado“

“We went there for my birthday and we loved it! The restaurant's ambience was so inviting and upscale, food was very interesting and delicious, and drinks were pretty! We loved crispy rice spicy tuna- very crispy, and rock shrimps were great which made us order rock shrimp roll( my favorite)! Drinks were a little strange- fortune teller was very specific, i was expecting more whisky flavor, but it tasted more sour. The restaurant is very beautiful, love it that it's outside but feels like you are in Japanese garden! We will be back!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10 Experience!) 
Kuro – Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood
This restaurant is absolutely amazing in every way—stylish, upscale, and unforgettable. But what truly made our experience exceptional was Cisame—hands down the best employee by far.
She went above and beyond with her sushi recommendations and completely knocked it out of the park. We even asked her to surprise us—and WOW—every dish she chose was perfect. You can tell she is incredibly seasoned at her craft. She doesn’t just serve food, she creates an experience.
Cisame has a rare gift. She makes you feel welcomed, valued, and excited about every course. Her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I write reviews often, but this one takes the sushi! 🍣😂
She is not only an outstanding server but also a teacher—guiding us through the menu effortlessly. You can also tell she leads by example with the team around her. She is truly an alpha in the restaurant industry—a diamond 💎.
To management and anyone in leadership—please recognize her. She is something special.
To Cisame: you are appreciated more than you know. My wife and I will absolutely be requesting you every time we return.
Shoutout as well to the bussers and support staff—great teamwork all around.
Amazing food, incredible service—we will definitely be back! 🙏🍣
Guido Is also Phenomenal At his craft as well Ty“

“Had a wonderful experience tonight. We had Carlos as our server and he was absolutely on top of everything. Was always checking on us without being annoying if you know what I mean.. Great sushi rolls and my daughter had a wonderful red curry with shrimp. Will definitely be back! Carlos, you're the best!!!!“

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“Excelente la atención de German y la comida demasiado buena.. Lo recomiendo 👍“

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

“A delicious experience, amazing Ramen and really unique rolls“

“The food was excellent and the service, efficient and friendly! I would definitely return!“

“Kamiko is hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in Doral. The fish is always incredibly fresh, the rolls are creative and generously sized, and every dish is beautifully presented. The Japanese-Peruvian fusion flavors make the menu unique and memorable. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Whether you’re a sushi lover or trying it for the first time, Kamiko never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for outstanding food, great value, and a fantastic dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“the place is excelent and the waitress Maria is very professional and friendly“

“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.“

“We love the food. Ike is the best sushi chef and karen is awesome“

“My first time trying today and I am pleased to inform you all that this place is beyond the hype they get on tik tok. The staff super kind, helpful, and efficient. While I waited in my car checking my emails one of the guys came to bring me the food to my car!!!! Needed a late night bite after a movie and wow im so thoroughly pleased i came to write a review!!!!!!! I’m going back for the lamb chops!!!!! (I’m not a big review person so I hope that says something about this place!)“

“Matsuyoi easily ranks as the best omakase experiences my partner and I have ever had. Beyond the incredible freshness and flavor of every course, what really sets this place apart is the attention to detail at every touchpoint of the guest experience.

From the personalized welcome card to the intimate setting, the perfectly curated playlist, and the thoughtful gift at the end — everything feels intentional and beautifully executed. The chefs and staff are engaging, fun, and make you feel like you’re part of something special rather than just dining at a restaurant.

We also did the wine pairing and every dish was mouthwatering to say the LEAST. The creativity of each bit, from the rolls to the soup to dessert and everything in between, made for a dining experience that had us anticipating what was next, but also savoring every moment and not wanting that course to end.

We got to chat with our seat neighbors and truly had a wonderful time. Very different from a traditional Omakase experience in that regard as well. The speakeasy type setup also made it feel exclusive and like a premium experience. It just felt sexy and fun!

If I lived in Miami, I’d come here a hundred times over. For now, it’s firmly on our must-visit list every time we’re back in the city. Truly unforgettable.“

“Lo Recomendo 👌🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️👉“

“We had such a beautiful experience at Novikov Miami. The atmosphere was stunning, the food was fresh and delicious, and every detail felt elevated and luxurious.

A special thank you to Isabel for the amazing service — she was incredibly attentive, warm, and professional throughout the entire evening. She made us feel truly welcomed and took such great care of us. Service like this is what makes people want to come back again and again.

Definitely a 5-star experience and one of our favorite dinners in Miami. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Ogawa in Miami is one of the few places in the city that truly feels authentically Japanese, not just in ingredients and technique, but in the discipline behind the pacing, the restraint in seasoning, and the respect for balance.

As someone who’s married into Japanese culture (and is honestly very picky about Japanese food), I pay attention to the details: rice temperature and texture, knife work, the way each bite finishes, and whether the flavors stay clean instead of relying on heavy sauces. Ogawa gets it right. Everything feels intentional, elegant, precise, and quietly luxurious.

The experience is polished without feeling stiff: thoughtful service, a calm, refined atmosphere, and food that speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a Japanese restaurant in Miami that’s genuinely high level and not “Japanese-inspired,” Ogawa is an easy recommendation.“

“Excellent restaurant the best sushi“

“I really liked the concept of this restaurant. You get to choose your dishes by picking plates from the tiny river running through the middle, which makes the whole experience fun and unique. The prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the food was amazing. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this good, but it definitely exceeded my expectations.“

“The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. Today we had the pleasure of being assisted by Genesis, who was extremely kind and helped us a lot in choosing dishes according to our tastes. There is a great variety of options, and the prices are very reasonable. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.“
