“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 !!“

“Down right amazing, hibachi was great and the sushi was perfect“

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

“El mejor sushi de Miami! Siempre que voy pido el Suntory y el Blue Bird roll. A mis hijos les encantan los postres, uno mejor que el otro!“

“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% !!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

“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 !!!!“

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

“The food prepared by the chefs was second to none. The care, freshness, and authenticity was reflected in every piece of sushi served. That being said, the drink service provided by the restaurant staff was vastly lacking. My wife and I received our drinks during the last course of the meal, after receiving two rounds of drinks that were wrong orders. Fortunately the sushi and chefs made up for the dehydration.“

“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!“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“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 🙏🏼“

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“Fantastic! This restaurant checks all the boxes! The food is phenomenal, the ambiance, service and attention to detail were on point; all and everyone of the dishes were delicious and beautiful works of art, not too many that make you feel stuffed but more than enough so you leave satisfied. We had such a special night and felt the love in every dish, we felt as we were invited to the chefs home for dinner.
We had a wonderful time ! Definitely will come back ! Can foresee some stars coming ( much better than starred restaurants we visited before ) wishing you the best of luck and positive energy !“

“This is my favorite sushi restaurant in the US. I’ve lived in NYC, LA, Miami and this is the closest you’ll get to an authentic Japanese experience and setting. I lived in Brickell and find myself here once a week. Chef Takashi is an accomplished chef who prefers to operate in an intimate setting. He procures his Salmon from Scotland and his Tuna from Japan. No bad cuts, rice is perfect always. Every dish is excellent - sushi but also the salads and the hot dishes (gyu don, curry chicken, salmon belly). The setting feels like a small Japanese market where you’re surrounded by Japanese snacks and food supplies.“

“This is more than a restaurant, its a culinary art exhibition. You will experience unique spins on classic dishes, foreign flavor combos you wont find elsewhere, and just damn good food. Great food, great ambience, great value. Would give it 6 stars if i could“

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

“Grand opening Delicious food“

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

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

“I honestly have no words to describe this place. This is by far my favorite sushi restaurant in Miami!!!!!!!!

Everything was exceptional, from the service to the quality of every dish. The owner personally came to check in, which made the experience feel even more special.

The kampachi sashimi was hands down my number one favorite, absolutely out of this world. We also loved the tempura shrimp, and the fresh wasabi prepared at the table really shows the level of care and quality.

We finished with a matcha cake, and honestly, I couldn’t pick a favorite because everything was incredible. The price was also more than fair for the quality.

Already excited to come back. If you’re in Miami and love sushi, this place is a must. 100% recommend🤤🤤😍😍❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“I love the sushi, 🍣 the variety, freshness and the service 🌹“

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

“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!!!!“

“I love this place, I’ve been eating here for years. The sushi is always delicious and the staff is always friendly.

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

“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 ⛔️ ⚠️“

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

“Food and service was amazing!“

“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“

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

“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‼️“

“This is truly the best sushi restaurant in town! Every visit is a wonderful experience. The sushi is incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious.

What really makes this place special is the outstanding service. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and appreciated.

If you love sushi or are simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended! Thank you, Ximena for such a wonderful service“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
