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!“

“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.“

“This is what Miami needed! An actual handroll bar that knows what it is doing!

The staff is attentive and have an amazing vibe.
The restaurant is chic with a speakeasy vibe that makes you want to stay all night.
The HANDROLLS - WOW! You can tell their quality is superior and for the pricing, you might as well call it happy hour all night!

Thank you for an amazing experience!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

“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 ⛔️ ⚠️“

The service is exceptional, especially thanks to Mika, who always takes such great care of us. We truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism. We will keep coming back always — the Toro & Akami guys!“

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

“We had a lovely evening, so much so I actually tipped over the 19% mandatory service charge. Chicken gyoza and pork buns followed by spicy crunch tuna rolls and watr rolls (snow crab, avocado). We left happy and full. Special salute to our server Dwayne.“

“Hands down, the best chicken and beef teriyaki I've ever had. This place is amazing, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. They make everything fresh and cook it to order every time. The spicy chicken teriyaki is next-level 🔥—the flavors are incredible. Thanks so much, I'll definitely be back soon!“

“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!“

“We have been here multiple times and LOVE the food. With that said, not sure what happened last night but it was top 5 worst serve we have ever had: waiter didn't come to the table for over 20 minute after we sat down, once we placed the order drink came 45 minutes later, brought the kids meals last (after over an hour), never brought out main courses, waiter never checked on us, the list goes on and on. We finally cancelled our main course and left after being there over 2 hours. Worst part is there was no acknowledgement of the horrible service and serve charge was purposely added so there is no accountability for poor service. Very disappointing to say the least.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“
