“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!“

“Second time at Pari Pari, and somehow it was even better than the first. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the level of service really makes the experience.

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!“

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

“This place is amazing, but my favorite part was Dillan’s service, it’s hard to find that type of service now a days, he’s knowledgeable, funny, kind, and so attentive, it makes every part of the experience so much more amazing, also the octopus is a must!“

“This is the spot! We went to Double Knot for Happy hour, and I absolutely loved it! The quality of the food and service and the pricing are just phenomenal. I wanted to give a thank you to Anori & Christian for their amazing hospitality and service. I also was surprised with how fast everything came out. I will definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ordered the lunch omakase at Carlos’s (my waiter) Suggestion. Came for lunch as this One of my son’s favorite sushi places. He has been eating sushi since he was 15 months old and really love it here..
Everything was super fresh and delicious. I love how they do the seared Wagyu and salmon.!! Will definitely be back!“

“Girls
Guys

I’m not gonna pretend and say it’s the best BECAUSE I can’t lie

It’s the best sushi - that is IF you want traditional and actually appropriate it. You have to know the Japanese cuisine - it comes with a huge respect to everything and everyone“

“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!!!“

“The BEST white fish ceviche I have EVER had! It was so good, we ordered a “to-go” and ate it today right before our flight back to Texas! This team is doing it RIGHT!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!! I will be back! 💕 A Texas Ceviche Snob 🤣“

“We had a very enjoyable time at Omakai in Miami this weekend. The restaurant is beautiful and the food and service is excellent. I recommend it highly.“

“Excellent restaurant the best sushi“

“Overall the food was good and the Chef done a good job entertaining our children while he was cooking. His skit while cooking was the same as every other skit I have seen at any other hibachi grill, not much originality.

The food was really good, we only had the chicken teriyaki and hibachi chicken. Food was on the higher end of price and while the food was good it was not worth that price. Just for food and drinks it was over $200 for a family of 5.“

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

“First time at this location and everything was amazing the service, the speed, the atmosphere and obviously the food. I was helped by Sergay as soon as I stepped in the door and offered a beer to wait. Rich helped us at the table and he was amazing can’t wait to be back. Everyone else was also very attentive. The wait wasn’t even that long maybe 20-30 mins max“

“Miami has not had good ramen since covid. (RIP Ramen Ya) So I was thrilled to check out Yume. Excellent house made broth, perfect jammy eggs, springy noodles……I had the black garlic tonkotsu and it was amazing. Service was fast and friendly, and they have a large selection of bubble teas as well.“

“Such an amazing experience at Ikigai! The location in Brickell Key is beautiful and the atmosphere is perfect. We tried their Miami Spice menu and everything was absolutely delicious. From the appetizers and drinks to the omakase and desserts, every single dish was incredible. The quality and presentation of the food were a 10/10, and the service was great as well. Definitely a hidden gem in Miami and a place I would come back to. Highly recommend!“

“Tucked into Pinecrest at 9030 SW 72nd Pl, Umaimon by Anaba feels like a small slice of Tokyo dropped into South Florida. The space is cozy and warm, with traditional Japanese decor that sets the tone before the first bite arrives. 513effd4

Ramen is the star here, and for good reason. The Tonkotsu Black comes out rich, deeply flavorful, and full of umami without the salt-bomb punch you get at some Americanized spots. Noodles are perfectly cooked, the broth clings, and the soft egg is seasoned just right. If you lean sushi, the Tokyo Rush Combo and Sugar Daddy roll are frequent favorites, with diners calling the fish “incredibly fresh” and plating “beautiful”. Small plates round it out: takoyaki, shrimp onigiri, gyoza, and tarako onigiri all get shout-outs. For dessert, the Strawberry Shaved Ice and Tiramisu Shaved Ice are light, refreshing, and big enough to share. They even do a sake flight if you want to taste through three pours.

Staff are consistently described as attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. It’s kid-friendly, good for dates, and works for a casual weeknight or a small celebration. Many guests call it a “hidden gem” for authentic Japanese in Miami.

Reviews are mostly glowing at 4.5-4.7 stars, but a few mention dense, sticky sushi rice on basic rolls and longer waits during peak hours.

If you’re craving ramen with real depth, thoughtfully made sushi, and desserts you won’t find at every Japanese spot, Umaimon delivers. Pricing is reasonable for the quality, portions are generous, and the experience feels both authentic and welcoming. It’s become a go-to for locals who want Japanese done right without the pretense.“

“I’ve been coming here for years because the food is flavorful, and the staff is always warm and attentive. Overall, it’s still a great spot, but I was a bit disappointed during my last visit. The spider roll lacked its usual crunch and tasted rather soggy, and the tuna in the hand roll was minimal. Still love this place, just hoping it was an off day for those two rolls!“

“Greatj time , lovely special time with my kids“

“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!)“

“The sushi was really good. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was well prepared, and the flavors were balanced without being overwhelming. Everything was presented nicely, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great sushi experience with quality ingredients“

“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 ⛔️ ⚠️“

“During a car show in Miami i had a Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl and it was excellent. extremely well made and delicious.“

“PERFECT! The food was delicious and the staff were so nice to us!
I came here because it was my birthday & I love Peruvian food and it was the best choice I could’ve make since I arrived in Miami. The staff was so nice to us, one of them even went to 7 eleven to pick a candle for me, unfortunately they didn’t have one. But they offered me the dessert and even wrote a “Happy birthday” with chocolate sauce on it 🥹
Because of them, I had a wonderful experience that I won’t forget for my 25th birthday.
I totally recommend this place!
Thank you Sherlyn (our waitress) and the whole staff of Suviche 🫶“
