“My expectations were truly exceeded. This is not your typical sushi joint. The chef there definitely is building their dishes with love and care. They seem to use real crab meat wherever you would normally have “sea leg” and every single item in our order was delicious, super fresh, prepared uniquely, and reasonably priced. And it’s delivered! Super bonus. Do it, you won’t regret it. Awesome place. Welcome to the neighborhood.“

“The Shingo team presents an extraordinarily well thought-out progression of flavors and themes. Every detail is mindfully curated, and the result is an elevated Omakase experience that somehow feels effortless. I highly recommend the premium pairing selections. My highest compliments to Chef Shingo and his knowledgeable service team.“

“Without a doubt, this is my absolute favorite sushi spot in Miami. Tonight's meal was incredible! The Tiradito appetizer was a revelation – the fresh salmon, tuna, and white fish, simply dressed in lime juice with a hint of salt and seeds, were melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The sushi pizza? An addictive fusion of Latin flavors that's impossible to resist. I also tried two new items: the Kiss Me Twice Roll with roasted bell peppers and the Dubai Crepe, both instant favorites. The atmosphere and food presentations is fantastic, and the service is top-notch. Every visit brings new and exciting flavors, ensuring I'll be a regular for a long time. Thank you Sushi Kong“

“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!“

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

“Authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi bar in the center of Miami.

The yellowtail and chu-toro sashimi were the freshest we have tasted so far in South Florida. We went early and we're the only ones so we had all the attention of the waitress and the chef. Our dishes were prepared right in front of us.

Portions seemed small yet we were full by the time we were done with desert. It was yet another perfect lunch.

Omakase is also available but only during the week at 6om and advanced reservation is required.“

“I've been meaning to try Sushi Corner after reading many reviews about how tasty and affordable this restaurant is, finding all these reviews to be completely true! This hole in the wall gem of West Kendall is well worth your time to try! I came in with my boyfriend last night to their small no frills location and was immediately greeted by our server who was very attentive throughout our whole meal. It's true that they do serve everything using plastic ware which to me doesn't matter at all. I care about the quality of food and the food is definitely top notch! My boyfriend and I decided to order various menu items to share. I started with a hot bowl of Miso Soup $2 which was good; loved the portion which I felt was more than most places. Next we had the Rainbow Roll $10 (California roll topped w/various fish) which was glaringly fresh and came out beautifully. The Sexy Roll $10 (fish tempura, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, rolled w/soy paper, tempura flakes, eel sauce, spicy mayo) was by far my favorite just because of all the incredible flavors in it. The Florida Roll $9 (spicy conch, cucumber, masago) definitely surprised me with its spice level and amount of conch within it. Lastly, we ordered the Sushi Corner Fried Rice $8 (chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and masago) which ultimately surprised me in portion and tastiness. The fried rice isn't over done with soy sauce so it remains tasting light though its also savory because of a smoky flavor. So tasty! Can't wait to try your other roles and highly recommend to anyone in the area as I think they also deliver!“

“Authentic Peruvian fusion cuisine with amazing atmosphere and outstanding service. A true gem In Pinecrest. The ceviche is the best in town with real fresh fish. My favorite is the Apaltado 1111 Ceviche with the amazing leche de Tigre and avocados !! The sticky shrimps are a must. 1111 has a fabulous Pisco sour selection and imported drinks. Don’t leave without finishing with a sweet bite of the dreamy suspiro limeño it will literally take your breath away. The Friday life music was fantastic too. May I also add that the home delivery service is fantastic, the food will arrive quickly, in perfect presentation and fresh, same quality as in the restaurant. I just plated it and had a gorgeous and delicious dinner party at home.“

“My “go to” local sushi spot for when I’m craving some sush. They’re always quick when ordering take out and the quality is usually very good. Some rolls are better than others, the classics are usually always great. Kampai roll, zombie roll, and the pad Thai are my faves.“

“Everything was delicious and the staff is very welcoming, I loved my experience here and will definitely be back soon. I visited Japan back in April of this year and can honestly say that Umaimon has some of the best authentic Japanese food in Miami! The Japanese shaved ice is a must!!!“

“The BEST white fish ceviche I have EVER had! It was so good, we ordered a “to-go” and ate it today right before our flight back to Texas! This team is doing it RIGHT!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!! I will be back! 💕 A Texas Ceviche Snob 🤣“

“This has not been my first time dining at sushi Maki in Dadeland. I actually go quite often and take my parents with me. Today is my parents 58th wedding anniversary and they both wanted to go to sushi maki to celebrate for lunch. As always we were greeted with friendly hand waves. Leo was our waiter and gave us the incredible service that we are used to. We told him we were there to celebrate my parents anniversary and at the end of our meal he brought out an assortment of dessert treats on the house. I will say it again this is the best sushi maki with the best employees and the best service! Thank you Leo for making it so special.“

“It was a great and enjoyable experience. The workers there were very nice and had great manners. Everything was perfect and I would love to go again.“

“Very good food and friendly waitress“

“Good price and great quality food!“

“The fact that I’m here taking my time to write a review is enough to say how good I think the food here is. I DONT EVEN LIKE SUSHI!!! But when I tried the spicy tuna roll…it was very good lol and the rice. It felt as if Sanji himself had served me a bowl of fried rice. Portions were good, service was great, TASTE speaks for itself the staff know what they’re doing!“

“Recently, I enjoyed a spectacular experience at the place called Suchi Sake UM. The variety of sushi they offer is exceptional, with fresh flavors and impeccable presentation that really highlights the quality of the ingredients.

What really elevated the experience was Yailen's exceptional service. His in-depth knowledge of different types of sushi and his ability to recommend the perfect pairing was impressive. Yailen suggested the ceviche rolls, and I must say it was one of the best recommendations I have ever received. The freshness of the ingredients and the combination of flavors perfectly complemented our experience.

In short, if you are looking for a memorable dining experience, don't hesitate to try the sushi at UM's Suchi Sake and order the ceviche rolls recommended by Yailen. Their warmth and professionalism make the visit even more special. I will definitely come back!“

“Service was pretty decent.But when I asked for soy sauce, they told me they had none, even though there was a bottle of it sitting on the bar, so I had to point that out to them. Seafood soup had way too much soy sauce. It needs to be improved. Sushi was pretty decent
and tasted fresh and the sushi chef was very pleasant. Overall, it's a decent restaurant with good service, and the food is somewhat above average, and the prices are very good“

“Came for the food… Stayed for Jenny…. Then came back for Jenny….and food. But mostly Jenny. She’s the best person ever. We have our Sunday family time with her in Coral Gables. But, she’s sometimes at Brickell. Cheers!“

“Sushi was ok for this restaurant format, portions were on the smaller side but tasty enough to compensate. The service was friendly and with an ok speed for pickup considerin there were many orders from 3Ps. Atmosphere is fine for a non-commercial area so could be an option to consider when looking for something more low key.“

“The quality of the food is by far the reason to come here alongside it's wide array of selections to choose from.Personally, I ordered fried calamari for the table (I'm talking about freshly breaded and cooked to order .. of perfection existed in this category of have to say .. Perfect.You just gotta go. Enough said. You're welcome ? readers.Paul Asencio
