50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Miami

“We opted for the somakase tasting menu.

Our waiter Dan did a phenomenal job in guiding us kindly, patiently and with a lot of knowledge through the various options of the menu. We basically told him what we like and what we don’t and he created a perfect menu for us with every plate being an exceptional experience.
The Uchi salad, the wagyu nigiri, the halibut and so many other dishes in our menu were just unbelievably good.
This restaurant ticks all the boxes regarding food quality, quality of service and a very nice setting and atmosphere.“

“Came into town for business, so glad we had the chance to try Hiyakawa tonight! We tried the tasting menu and it was amazing. The service, food and atmosphere were absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and inviting it made for a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back on my next business trip!“

“Made a great meal with vegan options. Delicious food, nice people!“

“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!“

Our waitress, Reyni, was incredibly friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured our glasses were always full. Her warm hospitality made us feel right at home!“

“I wasn’t expecting to have such a great Japanese Kaiseki style starters, sushi in Miami. Dobinmushi soup with Matsutake mushrooms was so delicious and muskmelon sherbet was so refreshing.
Everyone is so attentive and I felt l’m in my favorite restaurant I always go in Japan.“

“especialidad en sushi.super bueno“

“It was a great and enjoyable experience. The workers there were very nice and had great manners. Everything was perfect and I would love to go again.“

“Sushi was ok for this restaurant format, portions were on the smaller side but tasty enough to compensate. The service was friendly and with an ok speed for pickup considerin there were many orders from 3Ps. Atmosphere is fine for a non-commercial area so could be an option to consider when looking for something more low key.“

“Es un lugar que superó mis expectativas!!! Vale mucho la pena!!! La comida es deliciosa, el servicio es maravilloso y todo el personal es muy amable. Su único defecto es que solo te dan hora y media para estar estar ahí aunque sigas consumiendo, sin embargo, es entendible porque tienen demasiadas reservaciones.“

“awesome rolls!!! very nice place“

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

“My partner and I are regular customers at Tanuki River, we love the atmosphere, the service and the food. Majo is a very attentive, helpful and respectful person. Right now she works as a runner in the restaurant, however she has all the qualities to be a waitress!“

“I first came to this restaurant in my neighborhood and my first impression was that it was a rather expensive lunch. What an idiot I was because frankly, it is perfectly priced for the supreme quality here.

This place is beyond superb. The food is so fresh and so flavorful that it pops awe in your mouth. Sadly, now I'm addicted to the Wasabi Bowl (with soba noodles and multigrains for the base) and have been ordering it for takeout with too much frequency. I love everything from the friendly and helpful staff to the tranquility of the restaurant, but it's the incredible food that truly shines.

I could not find a single flaw with this place other than, in an abundance of caution, they wrap their sauces in little plastic containers with tight-fitting lids in MORE plastic wrap to prevent leakage during takeout/delivery. I don't know why but it bugs me.

And if that's this restaurant's biggest flaw, you need to experience it for yourself. It is GREAT! ❤️“

“Providing quality service and a comfortable atmosphere“

“I had the Omakase experience and it was just amazing!!!!“

“PHENOMENAL FOOD & fantastic service. We cannot wait to come back!“

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

“The fish here is incredibly fresh and of high quality. Each bite of tuna, snapper, and salmon melts in your mouth. The rice is perfectly cooked, a true testament to their precision. If you're looking for authenticity, this is the place to visit!“

“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!“

“Everything was spectacular. The server was very punctual and ensured no one was missing a drink at any given time. The chef, Bruce, made the night unforgettable and super memorable. The entire table was fully engaged with the chef's antics, jokes, we're non-stop engaging and funny. I would definitely return solely for the exceptional experience Bruce offered.

To add, the manager was great at assisting the entire staff and helped ensure everyone's night was memorable. The teamwork in this restaurant was unmatched.“

“My bestfriend and I’s favorite restaurant. We are regulars. I love the food, service and atmosphere. Uros is the most incredible server, and the chefs are great. I highly recommend this place for date nights, solo dinners or girls' night out.“

“This has not been my first time dining at sushi Maki in Dadeland. I actually go quite often and take my parents with me. Today is my parents 58th wedding anniversary and they both wanted to go to sushi maki to celebrate for lunch. As always we were greeted with friendly hand waves. Leo was our waiter and gave us the incredible service that we are used to. We told him we were there to celebrate my parents anniversary and at the end of our meal he brought out an assortment of dessert treats on the house. I will say it again this is the best sushi maki with the best employees and the best service! Thank you Leo for making it so special.“
