50 Best Japanese Restaurants near North Miami

“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!)“

“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.“

“I came in here with my 4 kids on a Sunday evening for our very first time and i had the best experience! My waitress Bella was very attentive she explained the way it works very well, she was very catering to my kids and carried on with a beautiful smile. She made sure that my kids were seated correctly on the kids booster and created a bond with them. The food was SO delicious i love everything on their menu, the atmosphere is very Instagram friendly, cozy, and perfect for date night or family dinner. The restaurant is super clean, fresh and well presented. Over all i would most definitely come back !!“

“💯🍣 excelente comida, servicio y la decoración 🪴🌱🎋🪵“

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

“Great omakase by a skilled Japanese Itamae. Everything was fresh and delicious. Choices were well thought out to provide a range of tastes snd textures. Service was diligent and attentive. A rare experience in this part of the world.“

“Was one of the best. Food 110% !!“

“A great izakaya with an excellent selection of sake and very good sushi. We started with the oysters, which were absolutely incredible, and then ordered the moriawase — everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious.

The service was also outstanding, very attentive and friendly. A great experience overall and definitely a place I would recommend.“

“Providing quality service and a comfortable atmosphere“

“Fantastic overall experience. They don’t have a lot of variety in the dishes so I can see how others can be upset about that, but for me every dish was amazing.

The only flaw was there was zero explanation of the dishes, origins of the fish, flavor profiles, etc. they just made the dishes and gave it to you. For those who have been to other omakases, there is usually a detailed presentation behind every dish which makes the experience so much better because you actually get to understand what makes the dish special.“

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

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

“Love⚡️It I Will Be Back Alex Is Outstanding Very Friendly I Highly Recommended Him At The Bar Side Along With🏆All The Staff,Management Cheers 🥂“

“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!“

“Second time at Pari Pari, and somehow it was even better than the first. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the level of service really makes the experience.

A special shoutout to Zander, who took incredible care of us. He was attentive without ever being intrusive, knew the menu inside and out, and gave us some excellent recommendations that made the meal even better. It’s always a great sign when you return to a restaurant and leave even more impressed than you were the first time.

Pari Pari has quickly become one of my Miami favorites. Already looking forward to visit number three!“

“Queen Miami Beach is a premier restaurant that seamlessly blends top-tier Japanese cuisine with a luxurious ambiance, offering an experience akin to a lavish artistic feast“

“My friend and I had such an amazing experience here. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The chef was absolutely amazing and made the experience feel extra special. Gwen was also incredible, so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

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

“This is the spot! We went to Double Knot for Happy hour, and I absolutely loved it! The quality of the food and service and the pricing are just phenomenal. I wanted to give a thank you to Anori & Christian for their amazing hospitality and service. I also was surprised with how fast everything came out. I will definitely be back!“

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

“Went with some friends for Miami Spice and had SUCH a great experience. Our server April was an absolute sweetheart; so goodhumored, funny and attentive. She brought such a positive energy every time she came to check on our table, and had great referrals for us between the drinks and menus too. We LOVED all the appetizers: the chicharrones are SO good/addictive but the egg custard/onion soup fusion was a delightful surprise favorite for all of us. Our steaks were cooked to absolute PERFECTION 👌🏾 and while I was a fan of the chocolate tart, that carrot cake was a fantastic creation to enjoy. 100/10 Loved it!“

“The fish selection was just okay—nothing particularly special. I’d rate it 6/10. The presentation was much better at 8/10, and the service was a 7/10.

Overall, I don’t think the experience was worth the price. They also seemed to push drinks quite heavily, which made it feel like they were trying to encourage guests to spend more.

I’m glad we tried it so we could form our own opinion, but unfortunately, based on our experience, it’s not a place we would recommend to our friends.“

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

“Awesome service.Elena was our server and she did a fantastic job with the customer service ! I took my nephew there to try sushi for the first time and he also rates it a 5/5! The restaurant was also extremely clean and well put together!I will definitely be coming again!“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

“Ogawa is easily one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had in Miami.

I went with two of my best friends on a Wednesday night, and we somehow got lucky enough to be the only guests there. It basically turned into a private omakase experience, which made an already special meal even more memorable.

The chef was fantastic—interesting, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful about every dish. You could tell how much intention went into each course, and everything was beautifully executed. The sake selection was also incredible and complemented the meal perfectly. We even added a few extra pieces at the end because we weren’t quite ready for it to be over.

Obviously, Ogawa is not an inexpensive night out, but this is one of those meals where you walk away feeling like it was absolutely worth it. For a special occasion or if you simply love great sushi, I could not recommend Ogawa more. One of Miami’s very best.“

“Ate there this evening from out of town or server was Noel. Everything we had was absolutely incredible.Warm mushrooms, crab fried eyes, the sushi ceviche, absolutely hands down I will be back!“

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

“Absolutely loved this experience! We normally don’t eat raw fish, so we honestly didn’t know what to expect, but somehow we ended up enjoying every single bite. The food was seriously next level and completely won us over. Our server also deserves a huge shoutout for being knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely excited about the menu. He made great recommendations and helped turn the meal into something really memorable. We left impressed and happy with the whole experience. Definitely a place worth trying!“

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“Great experience warm welcoming“

“We went there for my birthday and we loved it! The restaurant's ambience was so inviting and upscale, food was very interesting and delicious, and drinks were pretty! We loved crispy rice spicy tuna- very crispy, and rock shrimps were great which made us order rock shrimp roll( my favorite)! Drinks were a little strange- fortune teller was very specific, i was expecting more whisky flavor, but it tasted more sour. The restaurant is very beautiful, love it that it's outside but feels like you are in Japanese garden! We will be back!!!“

“Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The attention to detail, drinks refills, sake knowledge and explanation was fantastic. The food met and surpassed my expectations. It was out first time Omakase experience, and really left us very impressed.“

“First time at this location and everything was amazing the service, the speed, the atmosphere and obviously the food. I was helped by Sergay as soon as I stepped in the door and offered a beer to wait. Rich helped us at the table and he was amazing can’t wait to be back. Everyone else was also very attentive. The wait wasn’t even that long maybe 20-30 mins max“

“Excellent restaurant the best sushi“

“The sushi was really good. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was well prepared, and the flavors were balanced without being overwhelming. Everything was presented nicely, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great sushi experience with quality ingredients“

“Amazing food and atmosphere!! Christina was very attentive and nice!“

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

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

“Such an amazing experience at Ikigai! The location in Brickell Key is beautiful and the atmosphere is perfect. We tried their Miami Spice menu and everything was absolutely delicious. From the appetizers and drinks to the omakase and desserts, every single dish was incredible. The quality and presentation of the food were a 10/10, and the service was great as well. Definitely a hidden gem in Miami and a place I would come back to. Highly recommend!“

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

“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“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“Loved 107 Taste! Cindy is amazing, and the Pad Thai was sooo good, full of flavor, and cooked just right. Highly recommend! (Don’t forget the donuts!)“

“I was a bit disappointed with my lunch at SuViche. The ceviche tasted quite bland and was missing the bright citrus flavor that really makes ceviche stand out. Had it been dressed with a bit more citrus I think I would have enjoyed it much more. I ordered the lunch special with sushi and ceviche but I found the sushi had a bit too much mayonnaise. The flan was also denser than I expected and wasn’t my favorite. At $27 including the automatic 18% gratuity I didn’t feel it was a good value especially since I’ve had much better lunches elsewhere for less. Overall I’d give it 4 stars because the location is convenient. Unfortunately the food didn’t quite meet my expectations especially for the price.“
