“We had a fantastic evening at Hiyakawa—warm hospitality, generous portions, and an omakase that reminded us why this place is so special. Chef Royce’s talent really shines in the precision and balance of each course.

The shrimp nigiri was the standout for us—cooked to perfection—closely followed by the otoro with caviar, which was a wonderfully generous touch and beautifully balanced. My friend loved the monkfish liver, and I was especially impressed by the baby eel nigiri.

Chef Jaimie’s dishes were also memorable—especially the steamed tofu, which was incredibly silky and tasty, with a delicate, well-balanced flavor. The perfectly fried shrimp head was a treat, and the refreshing dessert ended the meal on a light, clean note.

Overall, an excellent experience and one we’re still savoring—highly recommended.“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“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!“

“Todo como su comida y su personal de es excelente. Gracias“

“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 !!!!“

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

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“I celebrated my Mom’s 89th Birthday at Japan Inn located in Doral with a Hibachi Lunch and everything turned out great! From the time we made the reservation for our party of 20 they were very accommodating and helpful. We were allowed to take our own cake, some balloons for decor and the ambiance was super! From the Servers to the Hibachi Chefs … everyone was pleasant, the food yummy and the service outstanding. Everyone in our party was happy and satisfied with the experience and our celebration…especially the birthday girl, my Mom. I highly recommend Japan Inn in Doral for any occasion. There’s ample parking, the restaurant is clean and the spacious setting is very nice. Plus Roger, the Manager, is very professional as well as the whole team who work there. We look forward to returning soon and wish to express our gratitude for the service and attention given to our party.“

“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 chefs special sashimi was so fresh. Texture was very delicate and melted in the mouth. The toro hand roll was filled with delicious fatty tuna and had the right amount of bite. Loved seeing the two talented sushi masters upfront working their craft, precisely cutting the fish, into vibrant work of arts.

Service was wonderful too would come again! The handroll was so good I ordered an additional toro and salmon roll.“

“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!“

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

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

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

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

“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!!!“

“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 new sushi spot in South Miami! The space is beautiful and cozy, the sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and their creative signature rolls were a highlight. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Fresh sushi, fast service & always clean. Owner/ sushi chef is cool.“

“There is a reason this plave has been around forever and will continue to do so. The food is good and fresh, just what you want at a sushi place. They have something on the menu for everyone, so you dont have to love sushi. They have a deserts the fried ice cream and donuts are soooo good. This is the best authentic sushi in the area not fusion just good traditional sushi.“

“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 are regulars here for over a decade and a staff is always great along with the food. Place is always very clean, but every once in a while they play like some club music in the background which I could do without but other than that I have no complaints. I love the place“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is excellent! Great service, I recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 🤣“

Perfect for a business lunch or a relaxed break during the workday. The service is efficient and friendly, so you can enjoy a quality meal even if you’re short on time. Definitely one of the best weekday lunch options in the area.“
