“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!“

“I cannot stop talking about Hiyakawa!
I had the best fish here since I’ve moved to Miami.
They will give you options of glasses for your sake (if ordered) that they buy from Japan.
The fish also comes from Japan and they had fishes I’ve never heard of before.
I was very excited to try new flavors and our server explained everything we needed to know from the taste of the fish to how it is prepared.
I would come here every week and not get tired of it. Highly recommend!“

“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 !!!!“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Sushi Sake Miami Springs with my wife and another couple, who are also friends and Miami Springs residents. Everything was excellent, the food, the service, and the overall value.

Marianna took great care of us and made the experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. The servings were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food was outstanding. I am always especially careful when eating raw fish, but everything we ordered tasted fresh, well prepared, and of excellent quality.

We are lucky to have a place like Sushi Sake right here in Miami Springs, so close to home. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Delicious food. Great attention. Beautiful new renovated restaurant.“

“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 🙏🏼“

“All north Miami Beach favorite place Cheap Great Food 🍱 Great attention Perfect location“

“Excelente la atención de German y la comida demasiado buena.. Lo recomiendo 👍“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“It's rare for me to give 5 stars in every category in a review, but they've earned it. They have, hands-down, the best sushi in Miami. I don't even care that they're first-come-first-served and don't do reservations; if you aren't willing to wait 40 mins to an hour while having a drink at Bob's next door, maybe you don't deserve to enjoy the best sushi in Miami.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10 Experience!) 
Kuro – Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood
This restaurant is absolutely amazing in every way—stylish, upscale, and unforgettable. But what truly made our experience exceptional was Cisame—hands down the best employee by far.
She went above and beyond with her sushi recommendations and completely knocked it out of the park. We even asked her to surprise us—and WOW—every dish she chose was perfect. You can tell she is incredibly seasoned at her craft. She doesn’t just serve food, she creates an experience.
Cisame has a rare gift. She makes you feel welcomed, valued, and excited about every course. Her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I write reviews often, but this one takes the sushi! 🍣😂
She is not only an outstanding server but also a teacher—guiding us through the menu effortlessly. You can also tell she leads by example with the team around her. She is truly an alpha in the restaurant industry—a diamond 💎.
To management and anyone in leadership—please recognize her. She is something special.
To Cisame: you are appreciated more than you know. My wife and I will absolutely be requesting you every time we return.
Shoutout as well to the bussers and support staff—great teamwork all around.
Amazing food, incredible service—we will definitely be back! 🙏🍣
Guido Is also Phenomenal At his craft as well Ty“

“Had a wonderful experience tonight. We had Carlos as our server and he was absolutely on top of everything. Was always checking on us without being annoying if you know what I mean.. Great sushi rolls and my daughter had a wonderful red curry with shrimp. Will definitely be back! Carlos, you're the best!!!!“

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

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“How do I begin? Miami is lucky to have a place like this. It truly feels like a portal to Japan. My wife and I dined here on Friday, May 15 at 9PM, and it was hands down one of the best omakase experiences we’ve ever had (and we've had dozens in America and Japan). From the moment we walked in, we were thoroughly impressed and ended the night with one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. If you love sushi, this is absolutely the place to be.

Everything about the restaurant feels intentional and immersive. From the wall art and intimate counter seating to the peaceful Japanese garden in the back, every detail adds to the atmosphere. Even the train passing nearby somehow makes it feel like you’re sitting in a hidden sushi counter in Tokyo. It’s a must-try experience and worth every penny.

The chef was warm, welcoming, and incredibly personable, a truly gracious host who made the evening feel special from start to finish. Watching the chefs work up close highlighted the level of craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail behind every course served.

One of the things that stood out most was how refined and balanced the entire omakase felt. Every dish showcased restraint and confidence rather than relying on gimmicks. The wagyu beef was the best bite of A5 weve had anywhere. The seafood quality was exceptional across the board. The shrimp nigiri was unbelievably sweet and delicate, the silver-skinned fish had perfect texture and knife work, and the fatty tuna courses completely melted in your mouth. The uni, caviar pairings, and layered flavors throughout the meal felt luxurious without ever becoming overwhelming.

The pacing of the courses was also flawless. The warm dishes, broths, tempura, and composed plates broke up the nigiri beautifully and made the experience feel thoughtful and complete rather than repetitive. Even something as simple as the tamago had remarkable texture and flavor. Every course genuinely felt like edible art 🍣

This is the kind of omakase that reminds you why traditional sushi craftsmanship matters. Elegant, balanced, immersive, and genuinely unforgettable. Easily a top-tier omakase experience and one we cannot wait to return to.

We are Grateful and thankful to have been able to try this restaraunt. Were counting down the days that we can return to Ogawa. A big thank you to the Chef and Staff from the bottom of our hearts. I cant even put it into words how amazing the food here is. Its incredibly exceptional.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful experience and Maya made it even more special. She was incredibly kind, attentive, professional and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My mom and I felt genuinely taken care of throughout the entire evening. Her recommendations were great and she always made sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. The service was exceptional and helped make our night on a Miami rooftop truly memorable.

P.S : the cocktails were absolutely perfect“

“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 had an amazing experience at The Blind Tiger! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was beautifully presented—including the desserts. What really made the evening special was our waitress, Seda. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Her recommendations were great, she checked on us at just the right times, and her positive attitude made the entire experience memorable. Exceptional service like hers is hard to find. We can’t wait to come back and will definitely be asking for Seda again. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!)“

“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.“

“***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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is a great luxury dining option in Miami Beach. Took 10 friends here for my bachelorette (had to split them in two groups of 5 or you are forced to stay in a private dining room) and everyone LOVED it! The acrobatics and contortion acts are incredible. The vibe is just SO Miami! Beautiful surroundings and we loved everything we ate & drank!“

“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.“

“G7 Restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The food was fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The restaurant has a unique setup with stunning views that make the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in a beautiful atmosphere, I highly recommend G7. Great food, amazing service, breathtaking views, and a wonderful taste of Japanese culture. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sushi Màs continues to be one of the best sushi spots in the area. The food is consistently fresh, the presentation is excellent, and the service always makes the experience enjoyable.

Manny, who is new to the team, did a fantastic job. Friendly, attentive, and eager to help, he made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Ximena deserves recognition as well for managing the restaurant so professionally. The operation runs smoothly, the staff is attentive, and the atmosphere is always inviting.

One thing several regular customers have noticed lately is that we haven't seen Luis around. He was always very welcoming, knew many customers by name, and brought a great energy to the restaurant. While the team continues to do an excellent job, his presence is definitely missed.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for great sushi, excellent service, and a friendly atmosphere.“

“The sushi was fresh and delicious. Incredibly friendly and fast service, restaurant is clean. I walked in drenched from the rain and my server Dany made sure I sat somewhere away from the AC which I appreciated so much. He is very attentive and prompt. All of the employees are kind and welcoming. I will be back.“

“Very fresh fast and delicious!!!“

“My family and I tried this restaurant and it by far exceeded all expectation. the sushi was the freshest I've had in years, the combinations were great and unique and everything tasted great. we will definitely be a repeat customer“

“a veranda with a beautiful view of the ocean ,a children's room and very tasty food , I recommend visiting this restaurant ????“
