“Honestly a really good hibachi spot that needs more recognition. We were a party of 3 and got sat right away. Our chef was alejandro and he was the best, super funny and made our food amazingly. Our server was Taylor and she always made sure we had everything we needed. The manager on duty, Franz, was also very welcoming and made sure everything was made to our satisfaction. We had an amazing time, it was also very good pricing for hibachi. The drinks we had were also amazing. If you want good hibachi then please check this place out!“

“Always fresh food friendly service“

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

“Was one of the best. Food 110% !!“

“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.“

“A+ on food through service and everything in between.“

“Very nice person. She greeted us and gave us details of the menu. We felt like at home with her personality“

“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 !!!!“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“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.“

“Great time at Kuro once again with the amazing staff. Our server, Luis, and the handsome sushi chef, Chef Jin, beautifully designed our menu mapping with elite staple menu items such as the tuna crispy rice, hamachi pepper, and wagyu tacos. We greatly enjoyed our drinks from the bar as well. I recommend the ichigo and haku.“

“Eclectic little sushi place! Very reasonably priced, interesting items on menu. Japanese library too?lol A woman owned one man show!“

“excellent decoration, comida delicious 😋, buen menu de comida de mar“

“This is a great addition to the kosher miami food scene!
The atmosphere is chic and the food is sick!(in a good way)
I came here right before Passover and tried their Tongue appetizer, lamb chops and espresso martini

Tongue— was good but a bit boring and forgettable

Lamb chops— was EXCELLENT, absolutely fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection!!

Espresso Martini— was very good, although a bit too sweet for my liking

All in all this is a GREAT SPOT! In two words…

CULINARY EXCELLENCE‼️“

“Ke-uH Restaurant at the Aqualina Resort in Sunny Isles offers an exceptional dining experience. Our server, Pedro, provided excellent table service, and both the cocktails and food were of high quality. The atmosphere is spectacular, making it ideal for business meetings or a visit with friends. Valet parking is available at a good price. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.“

“Amazing experience all the staff were super kind, they didn't even let us pour our own water😅 they insisted on them doing it amazing staff and the food was amazing. They also gave us the seats we requested but unfortunately the sun didn't set where we expected but they still put us where we asked with an AMAZING view and away from the crowd. Food was amazing we got the chicken kazarage and the pot both were amazing and the truffle fries were amazing. To drink we got a dragons code and a margarita frozen (don't remember the name) very good experience would recommend to all! Our waiter was also amazing she was great“

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

“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.“

“Best Omakase we have had in the US. Chef Erik brings new meaning to the experience — the creativity of his preparation and flavors he brings to every bite is like no other. I don't like Uni and i loved it here for the first time. Talented, great personality and made my husband's birthday really special. We will be back. This is by the way a soace that holds 6 seats and it was just the 2 of us that night. Sake selection is also impressive.“

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

“My first time trying today and I am pleased to inform you all that this place is beyond the hype they get on tik tok. The staff super kind, helpful, and efficient. While I waited in my car checking my emails one of the guys came to bring me the food to my car!!!! Needed a late night bite after a movie and wow im so thoroughly pleased i came to write a review!!!!!!! I’m going back for the lamb chops!!!!! (I’m not a big review person so I hope that says something about this place!)“

“It's been a while since I've had top-level sushi. Fitting it was at Chef David's other restaurant, Sushi By Bou. This omakase was a very relaxed 2 hour seating, with remarkable views of the ocean and the north Miami skyline. I found myself thrown back in my chair with the incredible layered flavors of the almost never-ending fresh fish. The cocktails were nuanced, and the atmosphere was filled with pure happiness. I'll definitely find myself coming back here often!“

“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.“

“I would not just recommend this place I would come out of my way again in a heartbeat. It is so relieving to actually find a place that has great service again. I feel after the pandemic, it's really changed the service force. It was such a fresh breath of air to have such an amazing time and service! I had a party of 11 of us for my birthday, and we were treated with smiles, and taken care of like kings. The food was phenomenal! Some of the most beautiful, fresh seafood I have ever had in my entire life. I've been traveling seven years full-time, and I will definitely be coming back just to eat here! The patio is absolutely gorgeous! It will soon be right on the ocean once they are finishing some construction! Thank you again for such a exhilarating time and a restaurant memory I will never forget and can't wait to see you soon! Best of luck to you all.:-) Brad“

“This place ranks number 1 for me at the moment. I’m a huge fan of Tuna Tataki - I’ve tried two versions that Arigatai offers; Sesame Tuna Delight and Tuna Explosion- both are fantastic.“

“The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. Today we had the pleasure of being assisted by Genesis, who was extremely kind and helped us a lot in choosing dishes according to our tastes. There is a great variety of options, and the prices are very reasonable. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“Food was amazing! I had no issues except when it came to dessert. We got the Almond Delirious. Before we ordered we asked the server to explain what it was. She stated it was an ice cream base with chocolate and almonds on top with a chocolate crust. However when we got the dessert it was not an ice cream base but chocolate mousse. In fact two layers of mousse and no ice cream whatsoever. That was very disappointing as I do not like mousse. So this kind of ruined the dessert portion for our first time there.“

“***Seriously Good Sushi***
The tuna here is incredibly fresh and the sushi rolls taste super authentic and made to order. The cilantro mayo is a standout too, it adds a really unique flavor that makes the rolls even better.

The atmosphere is fun with a nice authentic vibe. The staff is very friendly and attentive the whole time.

If you love sushi, I definitely recommend Fuji Hana. Also don’t miss the chicken katsu, wonton soup, and the gyoza dumplings…definitely some standout dishes.“

“The best Japanese restaurant around“

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

“Sushi Siam is an absolute hidden gem. Their menu is extensive, featuring a mix of Thai and Japanese dishes, so there’s something for everyone.

The sushi is fresh, beautifully presented, and expertly prepared — it’s as much a treat for the eyes as it is for your taste buds. Beyond sushi, they also serve fantastic Pad Thai and Tom Kha Kai soup that are definitely worth trying.

What’s unique about this spot is that it’s almost always empty, likely because most of their business is takeout. But I actually loved the solitude — it feels like a private dining experience.

The building itself is definitely dated, giving off some serious Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom vibes (you’ll get the reference once you go). But honestly, that throwback vintage sushi restaurant vibe adds to its charm and makes the experience feel special.

If you’re looking for high-quality sushi and Thai food in a relaxed, low-key environment, Sushi Siam is a must-try.“

“Great customer service by Christian! Delicious sushi - the tuna tartar was my favorite!!! Two thumbs up! 👍 👍 Highly recommend it!“

“First time at Japon and it was amazing! ✨ The food was cooked to perfection, the ambiance was beautiful, and the service was top tier. We were late due to Miami traffic, but they were still so accommodating and gracious. 10/10 experience definitely coming back! 🥂“

“G7 Rooftop is a fantastic kosher spot in Hollywood that delivers on every level. The food is consistently delicious, with beautifully prepared dishes and great flavors across the menu. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, making it perfect for a night out, a date, or dinner with friends.

The location couldn’t be better, right next to the Hard Rock Casino, which makes it an ideal stop before or after an evening out. The rooftop setting adds to the experience, giving the place a great vibe and energy.

If you’re looking for an upscale kosher restaurant with excellent food, a great scene, and an unbeatable location, G7 Rooftop is an incredible choice.“

“The food was great. Tried the Tonkotsu ramen, the Vibes Roll and the Truffle Salmon Roll. It was conveniently located right next to my hotel within walking distance and the prices weren't bad. It wasnt as busy as I would expect it to be either!“

“This site is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. Whenever I feel like having a good dinner, this is the place that comes first to my head. very good and food and a large list of dishes.great staff, and pleasant atmosphere. Also important, the pay is reasonable. I praise this spot with no doubt.“

“Decided to try this place on a weekday late at night. Service was slow, but that's because the one server that was there was taking care of multiple things, she was nice. Had a Cali and volcano roll, they were yummy! Also had shrimp tacos, they were just good, I felt it needed a bit more flavor so I added hot sauce. I will be coming back to try something new. Nice, laid back spot.“

“Great place! We came on a Tuesday night. It was nearly empty and that gave us pause - no need to worry. It was just a slow night, which was kind of great because we had really excellent service and very fresh sushi.

Loved the red curry, the rolls were gigantic, the edamame was piping hot, and the shrimp shumai were flavorful. We had a great time all in all.“

“Great atmosphere .. good food“
