“Had a great experience at Benihana. Mo was our server, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing dinner. The new restaurant is beautiful (we hadn’t been since the renovation) and everyone was so kind there from the check in staff to the awesome chef. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to dairy allergyKid-friendliness: So great with the kids -special kids menus, crayons for them at table, and special water cups for the kids with lids on them. Plus the chef put on a great show for the kids“
“You guys will have a gastronomical orgasm here. From the sushi to the dessert I wanted to cry tears of joy with each bite. You guys remember when the restaurant critic had a bite of Remy’s ratatouille and it took him back to his childhood when he was just a lad, that’s what will happen to you here.“
“Nice bustling atmosphere in the heart of Miami’s design district. While the sushi bar doesn’t have the aesthetic of an upscale sushi joint, the sushi itself is exceptionally good. A nice, relaxed, vibe, with no pretentiousness. Just quality sushi.“
“Such an incredible atmosphere of being sat by the river. The staff was extremely attentive in the food came out very quickly. I was blown away by the quality and presentation. Everything was its own unique experience, including a wasabi and pineapple martini a must try. Ming will take care of you!“
“Nice culinary experience, the exquisite seafood Chaufa and the crazy classic Peruvian ceviche, with affordable prices and a comfortable and cozy place, very good service. Super recommended for when we are away from home for a few days and have a good seafood with all its toys“
“Delicious Omakaze experience with a wide variety of sashimi and rolls. My fave was the shiitake rolls. And I was obsessed with the wasabi oil they gave us for the hand roll. The service was amazing and the itamaes the best, we even got to try a very fluffy matcha biscuit and the shaved ice with mint and lemony taste was amazing!“
“The food here was incredible and the customer service was fantastic. I truly enjoyed the braised mushroom dish, and the vegan sushi rolls. The bartender made me a custom drink with yuzu and mezcal that was vibrant and fresh. This is a great place for vegans and vegetarians, and also has options for meat eaters. I had wonderful conversations with the bar staff and Brian, and look forward to returning to Azabu.“
“The experience was above and beyond the expectations. The sushi quality and presentation was Japan level and the attention to detail by everyone was amazing. Even the presentation of the sushi ordered to go was incredible.The experience exceeded expectations. The quality and presentation of the sushi was on par with Japan and the attention to detail from everyone was incredible. Even the presentation of the sushi ordered to go was amazing.“
“As always, the service food and ambience I always make this place when I come to Miami for anything. They are open until 5 AM and at midnight I had pork to Ramen at midnight meal! My server, Henry was cordial, professional, and allowed me to have my privacy, uninterrupted, for my single dinner. Highly Recommended!Dietary restrictions: I appreciate it that the waiter asked me if I had any allergies although my meal didn’t have anything that could be allergen. That was conscientious. A good thing“
“Ceviche is always good.Sushi is always bad (do not get the spicy tuna roll). Service is always mediocre.I’ve been here maybe 10x in the last 2 years. Look at this spicy tuna roll. Worse than gas station sushi.Parking: Free parking lot with a couple of spaces, usually not full“
“I recently enjoyed dining again at Sushi Bichi, a casual culinary experience that exceeded all my expectations. The outdoor atmosphere and festive diners perfectly combined for an early Saturday dinner. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the visit. The sushi at Sushi Bichi is nothing short of spectacular. Each piece is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The freshness of the fish is evident in every bite, and the skill of the sushi chefs is truly impressive. Whether traditional or creative rolls, each dish is a delightful surprise for the taste buds. I enjoyed the yellowtail and the crispy rice, which were more than enough to fill me up. In addition to the fantastic sushi, Sushi Bichi's drink selection was excellent. The Watermelon cocktail is delicious (and packs a punch). The sake menu was extensive, offering a variety of choices to complement the meal perfectly if that is your thing. I particularly enjoyed the recommendations from the knowledgeable staff, who were attentive and friendly throughout the evening. The bar was very busy and lively at 5 pm, so I would recommend it for post-beach (which is within walking distance) or after-work cocktails. Overall, my two experiences at Sushi Bichi were flawless. The combination of exceptional sushi, excellent drinks, and top-notch service makes this restaurant a true gem in Japanese cuisine. The locals love this place, so give it a try. I highly recommend Sushi Bichi to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. This is a place for casual fun and excellent sushi, whether you're alone or with a group. You will feel welcomed and make sure to come hungry. Reservations recommended.“
“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!“
“After a long day of traveling, I used Uber Eats to order dinner and have it delivered to my hotel late on Wednesday, 04-03-24. I ordered the mimo roll and harumaki. The order was delivered a little earlier than promised, which was greatly appreciated.Being hungry, the more of the mimo roll I ate, the better it tasted. It was very filling. There were 3 of the harumaki. I shared some and had some for breakfast. This was one of the few options that were available for late night delivery. I'd definitely order again when in the area.“
“Bali a cafe has been open for 25yrs and I can’t believe we just discovered it around the block from our place downtown. The food was exquisite and the service made us feel right at home. Ask for recommendations on the Indonesian dishes, we were very pleasantly surprised by the flavors and quality of the food. Portion sizes are generous, the presentation was great and the value was incredible at under $20 a dish. We’re adding this spot to our list of downtown staples.“
“We went to the Moshi in South Beach and had an excellent experience. Our waitress, Andreína, was fantastic and gave us excellent recommendations for both food and drink based on our tastes. They lived up to her guidance and we were very grateful! We ate the Kampachi Tiradito, mimo roll, red dragon, pork gyoza broccolini and edamame. For the price, it was a delish and quick dinner for two. Would come again!“
“I have never before had a culinary experience like my time at Hiyakawa. From the moment you walk in you’ll be greeted by Amber and taken to your table, where you’re family. If you’re having trouble deciding on what to order, ask Miguel to give you the Miguelito special, your taste buds with thank you. Don’t sleep on the premier sushi/omakase experience in Miami!“
“Faux-makase! (Fake omakase) is exactly what it is. Self proclaimed “non traditional omakase.” Also know as slow-makase. Nossa deserves a noose-a. I was recommended this restaurant by my hotel concierge. Had a horrible experience here. Should have known since they require pre-payment online via tock which actually codes as professional services and not a restaurant so they avoid the credit card fees. By the way, they will ask you to pay a ridiculous and mandatory 20% service charge plus tax after your “meal.” After payment, you will receive an email which says “The day of your reservation you will receive an email with instructions to access to the speakeasy bar.” However, I never received any email. I put nossa into google and it took me to the filthy, run down Hyatt centric hotel. I went inside and asked where the restaurant was and they took me through a stinky alley next to the hotel trash room said to knock the door. This made me extremely uncomfortable and almost decided to just leave. Little did I know the horror I was about to experience. I knocked the door and a lady asked for the password so I gave my last name on the reservation. She didn’t open and kept asking for a password. I demanded she open the door and gave my last name on the reservation. She said I should have received instructions on a paper from another restaurant on the other side of the street which I was not informed of. She said I was late and that they already started so she showed me to my seat. The room felt like a sewer with too many people crammed around a dirty scratched up bar. I was in group 11 which means there were at least 20 guests there. The music was horrendous and unbearable. The ambiance was very creepy. The staff smelled really bad. I was offered a welcome drink which I opted for a sparking water which was not sparking at all as it was flat without bubbles so they brought me a bottle instead. They didn’t ask about any allergies and handed me the first course which I had to spit out because it contained alcohol which I don’t drink. The chef kept inaudibly shouting out the descriptions of the dishes for each course towards different corners of the room in an attempt for everyone to hear but you only hear and understand the words which were said in your direction. All the ingredients were old and not fresh. The food did not taste good. The portions were tiny so don’t think you’ll be full when you leave here by any means. The place is extremely unsanitary. The chef even wipes your plates using the same towel as the previous groups one after another. I was absolutely disgusted. Finally the last course came and again I was served alcohol without being told what it was. Luckily the chef caught it before I could drink it and replaced it with iced tea. I asked if we’re were finished and she said yes. The experience was a complete waste of time so we were happy to walk out and leave. The lady chased us on our way out and said there was an additional payment to be made for gratuity and tax. I asked if this was mandatory and she answered yes. Mind you this was never communicated before. She also said she didn’t have a wireless credit card machine so I gave her my physical card to go swipe and come back. The chef came out, handed me my receipt and credit card then asked: “Is there a reason why you’re unhappy.” I answered: Yes, I didn’t enjoy the experience. He shrugged his shoulders and replied: “I’m sorry but unfortunately not everybody does, I guess” I was shocked and just stormed out. Exit left next to the trash room, literally.“

“Don't hesitate to book a table at this gem of a restaurant—it's quickly become my top choice for sticky rice and omakase dining in the area. It is located in a vibrant area with a spacious courtyard and various shops, and it offers the perfect opportunity for a post-meal exploration or dancing. The 16-course omakase experience here is a standout, especially for someone accustomed to the sushi scenes in NYC. It competes strongly on both quality and price.From the outset, the hostess Caroline set the tone with her warm, attentive service, ensuring my water glass was never empty and making my solo dining experience far from lonely through engaging conversations. The chef, with her Laotian heritage, masterfully prepared each dish, from the hand rolls to the sticky rice selections, adding a personal touch that enhances the dining experience. The variety of dishes was impressive, with the Japanese scallops, the A5 Wagyu hotplate, and the hand rolls being my personal highlights. To finished off the evening, the hostess surprised me with an early birthday desert treat. This, was truly the highlight of my food trip in Miami.Every time I find myself in Miami, this will undoubtedly be my chosen spot for an exceptional dining experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant and space has a ramp to enter the space.“
“Fresh and delicious sushi, salads, tempura, desserts, sangria and many more. Great place to have a meeting, enjoy time with family and friends. A perfect spot for a date. The atmosphere is pleasant and amazing service with smile. I highly recommend it!“
“dali helped me at my dining tonight and must i said what a survive she asked me if i like everything i ate which i thought was a very good survive we definitely will be coming back also i asked what an ingredient was in the tuna tataki which is great by the way and she told me exactly what that ingredient was“
“Came here with two friends on a Wednesday night to celebrate a birthday and new job. This place is pricey and generally requires a reservation weeks in advance, but it's a really nice experience! The space is beautiful, food is delicious, and service is excellent. Since we were a group of 3 they sat us at the end of the table, so we didn't really get to see the food being prepared which was a bit of a disappointment. I'd say keep that in mind if you plan on going in a group. Shingo isn't a place I necessarily need to come back to, but I'm happy I got to try it and I think it's worth a visit if you enjoy sushi.“
“Not sure there are enough words to describe this epic experience. The hospitality, the atmosphere, the vibe are so unique , but legendary Chef Franco Antonio creates his unique Shushi magic and his gorgeous wife share their love of food and drinks in an intimate unforgettable evening.“
“High-quality sushi, delicious but not very big, a little on the pricey side but very good. Service was very attentive and on point. Had several dishes not seen on other sushi Thai restaurants. My wife had a fried chicken dish. Chicken was a little dry and not too much sauce to help it out. Overall, it was very good.“
“Amazing service. The food got delivered very fast to the table. The Atlantic roll and Mango tango is a must, very delicious. The portion of the sushi is very good for the price. Thanks to the waiter Ann, she was very sweet and gave us suggestions about different rolls.“
“Had amazing experience at this restaurant! The food really exceeded my expectations, especially for being in the middle of Wynwood, I personally haven't had many good dining experiences here. My favorite were the Rock n Roll tempura and the Hoshi Dragon rolls, which were their signature dishes. The fish was fresh, and the dishes were all visually appealing. The service was also excellent, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and pleasant. I will definitely be coming back!“
“We've frequented here for special occasions, it never disappoints. Always wows us. The creativity in the menu is unmatched to other omakase experiences. This spot even rivals some omakase experiences I've had in Japan. Amazing service, which is rare anywhere in Miami. Do yourself a favor and book the reservations!“
“I usually don’t leave reviews but for this place I had to! The overall atmosphere and service was top notch and the only thing topping that was the food. The sake is amazing and the rolls are to die for. Tomo is awesome and Ray’s house made soy sauce was made to perfection. Matthew’s service made me feel as if I was part of a family. If you had a chance to visit one sushi spot in Miami this would Be the place to go 100%“
“A once in a lifetime experience. From the moment you walk in, the hostess make you feel welcome and was very attentive. The chef’s and bartender in the Omakase room were extremely knowledgeable, fun, professional, and great entertainers. The food.. the food was amazing, fresh, simple yet amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for this experience in Miami. Definitely would go again.“
“Im hesitant to post this because it’s truly a hidden gem right now but this restaurant/market and chef Takashi deserve their praise. It’s the best and most authentic sushi I have had in Miami. It’s the only nigiri I’ve had that has the proper size and freshness you would expect from good, high quality nigiri. By far the most similar to the nigiri I have had in Japan. No tiny pieces where they’re skimping you out on fish and loading it with rice and sprinkling truffle oil to make a sad piece of nigiri look appealing. This is the real deal and so worth it. Can’t wait to check it out in person“
“Just perfect!We went to try this place based on the reviews and I have to say that it was one of the best choices in Florida. From the moment we opened the door to enter the place until we left we enjoyed every minute.We ordered 3 types of sushi Arigatai Fuego Roll, Evi Roll and Tsunami Roll. All 3 were very TOP, a mix of textures and flavors that are worth trying.As for the service, it was equal to or better than the food. Ricardo, who served us, was very kind and helpful, always attentive, attentive and without overwhelming us, we just knew he was there but without overwhelming us. Thanks Richard! This type of customer service makes people want to return to places.The atmosphere is also spectacular, background music with the right volume, everything clean and well placed, beautiful decoration, in short, this place deserves not 5 but 10 stars.100% recommended. We will definitely return“
“We had an amazing experience ordering Taiko Sushi in our stay in Miami, the delivery was fast and the fish was very fresh, you can notice the quality of the food at a glance also, the presentation of the pieces were also very good and well organized in the “barco” I will definitely order it again in our next stay in Miami.“
“We had the best service I’ve ever had in Miami! Fish was fresh, food was carefully prepared and delicious.Was impressed with the entire experience and really enjoyed the new decor as well. Will make this a stable on my trips to this city. Thank you!“
“I ordered the dragonfly roll and spring rolls. I was pleasantly surprised. They were delicious! The sushi here is fresh and the customer service was great! I will be a repeat customer. Don’t hesitate just order! You won’t be disappointed.“
“Top secret! Happy hour all day (at the bar)Ask for Lucas or Frenchie (tell ‘em FLEX sent ya!)Be sure to tip well because of the deep discounts!!Georgios (who owns Santorini Greek Restaurant - south of fifth) took over this spot and is really making it shine again.Come check it out!“
“Such a cool spot! Tucked behind a taco joint, this place has a hidden door that can only be accessed with a code (which is sent to the day of your reservation)Hiden actually means ‘secret’ in Japanese100% worth the money! The food, service and ambiance were top notchThe quality of the fish and all of the ingredients for that matter was astounding. You can easily taste the differenceOUSTANDING!“
“Chef Kevin is the man! I wanted to try a new sushi place so l randomly found this one. Based on the pictures and reviews I decided to stop by, beyond happy that I did.Imagine not being able to make up your mind on what to order and then the chef himself comes to help you? Well that's exactly what happened haha.Chef Kevin helped me narrow down from all their delicious options and they were all pretty good. Yes, it tastes as good as it looks. I wish I could remember the names of the rolls right now but I can't ooops. Just show them the pics and they should be able to figure it out.It's located inside a condo/apartment complex in Miami Beach...not the place you'd think has amazing sushi but it does.Service was fast and professional. The restaurant is self was clean too and prices reasonable for the location.You can validate your parking ticket so you only pay about $3 for valet. Make sure to do it before leaving the restaurant.Overall such an awesome place and positive vibe. I loved my whole entire experience and can't wait to stop by again!“
“My favorite sushi place in Miami!!! Seriously tops every other restaurant. Freshest fish even when you get takeout. I am obsessed with this place I cannot recommend enough!! Spicy tuna crispy rice and all rolls/ nigiri are amazing. Great price for quality.“
“I dine at Sushi Chef about every ten days, for good reason. It serves proper, correctly prepared Japanese food and has done so consistently for years. It is not a fancy place, but the food is extraordinarily good. Just delicious. And it is clean as a whistle, a rarity for Miami restaurants. Go there, you will not be disappointed.“
“Enzo is one of the most professional guy I have ever met. He’s always on a good mod , very respectful polite, smile on his face , proper clean uniform and ready for his customers, always knows and remembers what I order and never disappoints, food is excellent and environment absolutely awesome, I’ll recommend this please ? % . 10 stars ⭐️“

“Today I was at the Pipa Lounge restaurant for the first time. Our waiter was Ksenia. She is very responsive and friendly. She moved the table to a more comfortable place for us. The service was top notch??❤️, the food was simply divine. ??“
“This is one of our favorite omakase places in Miami. We have been to them all. Even the pop ups. Ahi is great, authentic Japanese omakase. If you like intimate small, causal setting with quality sushi / sashimi, I suggest this place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.“
“Delicious sushi, the Chef's preparation, I loved the superStarts roll, my favorite today, the service was very friendly and the place is nice, we celebrated birthdays and Delphina served us very nice and helpful.Vegetarian options: Rich and delicious !!“
“What an amazing little hole in the wall! We ordered a little bit of everything. Our boys ordered a ramen and a sushi while they played chess - they said it was the best they ever had! The Korean chicken was so delicious. 100% recommend this “
“This is in my opinion the best sushi place in Miami -as a Sushi lover I have been to some of the most fancy places in Miami (like Osaka) and the most humble ones and nothing beats Kae. Food is delicious and the ingredients fresh. It’s on the pricey side but the experience is totally worth it.“
“Incredible!Must show up to put your name down on a literal list. Wait can get long but it’s worth it!Sushi is extremely fresh and tastes fantastic. Pricing is very fair for quality of what you receive. Have been twice for 2 people and spent $75 both times un coincidentally (2 waters and just sushi).Highly recommend this place if you’re anywhere. 1 of 1 gem!Parking: Sometimes pay for street parking, sometimes free street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible“
“Osaka is like a masterclass in maximizing the creative potential of fusion cuisine. The dishes and cocktails are Peruvian-Japanese inspired and all an exciting experience in themselves. Our group of 6 went to Osaka with an open mind ready to try anything - our server Daniel made our experience, taking the time to personally curate a sampling of many of the highlights from Osaka. Essentially like a hand-picked omakase experience. He was thoughtful, attentive, and funny and gave us all the information on everything presented, checking in to see how we liked the various things chosen. Definitely want to recognize him for his service as he made our first-time experience exceptional!Some of the highlights of the food (that I can remember to describe accurately, at least!) included a tartare dish served on squid ink-infused nori crackers and sprinkled with gold leaf (the first dish chosen and a true show-stopper), the Japanese scallop nigiri (simple but incredibly flavorful and seared at our table), the Wagyu beef and crispy shrimp rolls topped with foie gras (also freshly seared at our table), the Japanese beef prepared table-side with quail eggs and a foie gras topping, the raw wagyu served with a hot stone for table-side searing along with a delicious side of crispy potatoes, and a very buttery soft fish dish (I think the black cod?).Aside from how delicious and fresh the food was, the presentation and preparation was a huge part of the experience. Many things as mentioned were seared at the table, prepared table-side, or allowed us to freshly cook our food. Also adding to the experience was the art of the cocktail presentation. Many of the cocktail were served very beautifully and they had exceptional flavor. Our party ordered their version of the Negroni that came presented in a smoking box. A couple of us also had the cocktail that had green tea/matcha (I don't remember the name :/) and it was also beautifully presented as a pour-over in a small bowl with crushed ice. Aside from presentation, both cocktails had expertly balanced flavors and definitely tasted as good as they looked. Osaka overall is an incredible experience and highly recommend! And a big thank you again to Daniel for being a big part making our experience amazing!“
“My GO TO spot for consistent and delicious quality sushi at great prices, Erika is masterful when it comes to flavor, I’ve been more times than I can count. I always leave full and satisfied. The staff is efficient and delightful, I’m always greeted with a smile and cheerful hello from everyone. Anytime a friend or family member comes to visit, we must go here !! Everyone I’ve brought loves it !“
