“awesome rolls!!! very nice place“

“Muy rica la comida y satisfecha con la atención brindada por Yani. Pronto volveremos . Excelente servicio!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!!!“

“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 🙏🏼“

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

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!!“

“Loved 107 Taste! Cindy is amazing, and the Pad Thai was sooo good, full of flavor, and cooked just right. Highly recommend! (Don’t forget the donuts!)“

“This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the US. I’ve lived in NYC, LA, Miami and this is the closest you’ll get to an authentic Japanese experience and setting. I lived in Brickell and find myself here once a week. Chef Takashi is an accomplished chef who prefers to operate in an intimate setting. He procures his Salmon from Scotland and his Tuna from Japan. No bad cuts, rice is perfect always. Every dish is excellent - sushi but also the salads and the hot dishes (gyu don, curry chicken, salmon belly). The setting feels like a small Japanese market where you’re surrounded by Japanese snacks and food supplies.“

“I've been meaning to try Sushi Corner after reading many reviews about how tasty and affordable this restaurant is, finding all these reviews to be completely true! This hole in the wall gem of West Kendall is well worth your time to try! I came in with my boyfriend last night to their small no frills location and was immediately greeted by our server who was very attentive throughout our whole meal. It's true that they do serve everything using plastic ware which to me doesn't matter at all. I care about the quality of food and the food is definitely top notch! My boyfriend and I decided to order various menu items to share. I started with a hot bowl of Miso Soup $2 which was good; loved the portion which I felt was more than most places. Next we had the Rainbow Roll $10 (California roll topped w/various fish) which was glaringly fresh and came out beautifully. The Sexy Roll $10 (fish tempura, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, rolled w/soy paper, tempura flakes, eel sauce, spicy mayo) was by far my favorite just because of all the incredible flavors in it. The Florida Roll $9 (spicy conch, cucumber, masago) definitely surprised me with its spice level and amount of conch within it. Lastly, we ordered the Sushi Corner Fried Rice $8 (chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and masago) which ultimately surprised me in portion and tastiness. The fried rice isn't over done with soy sauce so it remains tasting light though its also savory because of a smoky flavor. So tasty! Can't wait to try your other roles and highly recommend to anyone in the area as I think they also deliver!“

“Food was delicious. Staff was overly accommodating. Environment was fun and modern. Would love to visit this restaurant again. I might go again tomorrow. Yummm!“

“Delicious food, many options, well worth it.“

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

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

“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🤤🤤😍😍❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“First time coming, place is fabulous, environment is so nice and the decor around makes it so cozy. The boss is super friendly, take his word for whatever he suggests. The food was so goooodd and very affordable. Boss also gave us a free sample of the dessert which was very kind of him. I will be coming back love this restaurant, highly suggest for all to visit AT LEAST once.“

“Omg love this place the vibe is great the lady at the front Shen is soo cute…also she got me hip on that passion fruit tea(bruh I don’t even like passion fruit but this tea is sooo bomb) yea come on in and get this teriyaki bowl with fried rice too !!!!“

“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!!!“

“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!!!!“

“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 ⛔️ ⚠️“

“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.“

“Amazing restaurant for anytime of the week. My friends and I visit on Wednesday nights just to see our girl, Gail. She’s amazing so fun and funny and give excellent service. Kopkunka Gail! You’re awesome. Gonna come visit you next Wednesday. Thanks for everything and making our Wednesdays so special.

The food is so good. Their zombie roll and cracker tuna are delicious. Have not been let down by an item. Great place for celebrating.

Wednesday nights have become our favorite tradition thanks to Gail! She’s like a mother bird, making sure everyone is fed, happy, and taken care of. She’s also spicy like wasabi, a little saucy, and always brings so much energy and personality to the experience. We genuinely look forward to seeing her every Wednesday.

The food is consistently delicious and fresh. The cracker tuna is absolutely outstanding and a must-order. The sushi is great quality, beautifully prepared, and always tastes fresh.

This place has become our little watering hole—a welcoming spot where great food and hospitality come together. Kop kun ka (thank you) for the wonderful service and warm hospitality. Itadakimasu! We always leave happy, full, and looking forward to our next visit.

Thank you, Gail, and the entire team, for making us feel so welcome every week! ❤️🍣🙏“

“I have been coming to this location since it was Canton and Teddy is what continues to bring us back. We love him and have looked forward to going to this location because of him from childhood to now. Thanks to Teddy we chose to cater sushi maki at our 250 person wedding and the guests were ranting and raving about it. Teddy, thank you for being the highlight of our experience for two decades now!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Sister mentioned this place and heard they make their own eel sauce so had to judge.

Food was absolutely delicious and I adored the eel sauce! Very small though. Max 6 people can sit in this place so don't bring to big group.

Try Alex #2 Sushi, was absolutely so good.“

“Lo Recomendo 👌🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️👉“
