(I’m not a big review person so I hope that says something about this place!)“

“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!“

“You will not get better sushi in the United States and I’d go as far to say as the world. Chef Shingo and Chef Yuta are world class and their Michelin star speaks for itself. They are serving the highest quality fish. I’ve had Michelin star omakase in Tokyo and this is just as good if not better. The service is bar none spectacular. This is my 2nd time visiting and it won’t be my last!“

“Always amazing food (always the freshest sushi!) , service (friendly and helpful) and atmosphere. Luisa was amazing and attentive! Outside is lovely, inside you may need a sweater! I’m so happy to have this jewel of Miami Springs so close to my home!“

“Incredible birthday experience. Chef Masa was lovely and answered all of our questions while we delighted ourselves with the dinner. The servers were extremely attentive and kind. Food was exquisite, and the ambience too. My only feedback would be to change the music to something more elegant and perhaps traditional, rather than pop-ish music.“

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

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

“I love the hand rolls, drinks, and deserts here! The happy hour is incredible value for such great quality food. The lobster hand roll and wagyu hand rolls are the absolute best. Sabrina and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind as well.

Update: Scoob is the absolute best. So happy every time we get to see him when we visit for the sushi Sunday happy hour!“

“Finally, an authentic Japanese spot in Brickell. Momi Market is the opposite of all the pretentious, overpriced, and noisy restaurants around here.

The fish is flown in from Japan, made by a talented Japanese chef, and you can taste the difference right away. Simple, genuine, and worth every visit — it’s now my regular go-to in Miami.“

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

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“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 ⛔️ ⚠️“

We will keep coming back always — the Toro & Akami guys!“

“Shokudo is one of my go-to spots for Japanese food. Their nigiri is always fresh and delicious, and the tempura shrimp is perfectly crispy without being heavy. Every time we come here, the food is consistently good.

It’s also a great value for money—you get high quality without breaking the bank. We come often and it’s become one of our favorite regular spots.“

Wheelchair accessibility: My fiance is in crutches and was able to enter and sit in this restaurant comfortably!“

“Celebrated my birthday at the spa with my husband, and afterward we headed to Watr for lunch - wow, what a beautiful spot! The service was incredible thanks to our server, Gano. The sushi was fabulous (I had two rolls and shared a third with my husband), and the espresso martini was just as good.\n\nMy husband ordered the burger, and we both loved the overall vibe. The DJ was amazing - he played all my favorite house music tracks, and it made the whole experience even better. I could’ve stayed at Watr all day. It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy the gorgeous weather, and soak in the great music.\n\nThe customer service was truly exceptional from beginning to end, and Gano was especially delightful and attentive. I’ll definitely be back with a bigger group to stay even longer next time!\nThank you for an unforgettable birthday celebration -I had the best time. And the DJ is a keeper!“

“the pork egg rolls are amazing!! bad surprise on the hand roll sushi tho! didnt expect we had to do this ourselves. and we didnt ask for utensils so they just dont include them which we definitely needed!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at this sushi restaurant! The service was top-notch - the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel like royalty. The chic decor added to the ambiance, making it a perfect spot for a night out. But the real stars of the show were the dishes! The watermelon pork belly appetizer was OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. And the truffle rainbow roll? Perfect in every way. 🍣👌 We'll definitely be back again to try more of their delicious offerings. If you're a sushi lover, add this place to your must-visit list! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! P.s and i am that kind of person who never leaves reviews unless its something really amazing“

“Yummy Japanese food and kid friendly !!“

“The first time I went to Ogawa, it was on a fluke at the suggestion of a friend of mine who had been there before. I had no idea what to expect. I walked into a very petite intimate restaurant with only. 11 seats. The experience from start to finish was extraordinary. As a New Yorker, who is also in the hospitality business, I have high standards especially around sushi and Japanese cuisine. The food, wine and sake pairings and attention to detail were outstanding. Each course was better than the next. We met the sushi chef, the culinary chef and the owner. They were so lovely and made our experience so special. I look forward to my next visit.“

“Excellent restaurant the best sushi“

“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.“

“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 love the food. Ike is the best sushi chef and karen is awesome“

“Went for breakfast late last week and had three eggs and chicken absolutely delicious highly recommend had a shot of espresso and win again this morning and had three eggs and tuna highly recommend with a shot of espresso great service great atmosphere absolutely a pleasure will be back again tomorrow“

“This is by far the best fusion sushi spot in all of Miami!
I’ve tried countless places, but I always end up coming back to Kamiko. Their Truffle Crunch roll is absolutely phenomenal, and the Salmon Delight is next-level insane.
A true hidden Miami gem that locals are lucky to enjoy!! can't wait to go there again soon!“
