Kaeru Sushi & Grill

An absolute hidden gem. In a city of mostly chain sushi joints this family owned and run restaurant is a godsend for local sushi lovers. The staff are all incredibly warm, friendly, and informative on their menu items. The quality of the fish they offer is always excellent with a focus on seasonal catches. So the menu items and specials will change on occasion depending on the time of year. Seating can be a bit limited due to the small size of the store but not cramped feeling, still recommend calling ahead. I personally enjoy my time best with two others sitting up at the sushi bar.

The best sushi you will ever have! The food is always fresh, the staff has the best recommendations and energy, and an overall great experience. We could eat here every day, if possible. Don’t look over this hole in the wall!

From the moment we walked in until the very last bite, everything about this restaurant was exceptional.

Jeremy, our server, welcomed us the second we walked in. We didn’t even have a reservation, but he took great care of us and sat us at the bar, which turned out to be the best spot in the house. From there, we had a front-row seat to watch the Chef (also the owner) work his magic. Every dish was treated like a piece of art carefully crafted, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. You could see how much love and attention went into every single bite.

The fish? So fresh it could’ve jumped off the plate. This isn’t your average sushi joint this is a little taste of Japan tucked right here in our backyard. My husband just got back from Japan and said the quality of the ingredients here rivals some of the best spots overseas. That says everything.

We ordered seven dishes, and every one of them blew us away. Jeremy kept us entertained with stories and explanations about the menu, and you could tell the whole team truly knows and loves what they’re doing. It’s not just food—it’s an experience.

Honestly, part of me doesn’t want to share this hidden gem because it feels like our secret. But on the other hand, this place deserves all the love. If you closed my eyes, drove me around for 40 minutes, and told me we ended up in one of Miami’s top restaurants, I’d believe you. Except this spot is just 10 minutes from home.

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Absolutely love it.

Definitely on the pricier side, but you’re absolutely paying for top-notch quality. The sushi was excellent, honestly some of the best I’ve had in South Florida. Everything had such clean, vibrant flavors and was clearly made with a lot of care and attention to detail. Also, shoutout to Julian who was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. I’d 100% come back!

I recently discovered Kaeru and wow!! I was blown away by the atmosphere, the service, and most especially- the food! It is clear to see that the people who work at Kaeru are passionate about the food they serve. There is a special attention to detail that I really appreciate. They treat their food like art. Also the drinks!! Incredible cocktails. Will be dining again :) thank you! Also highly recommend trying one of the staff created sushi rolls. They’re all so good.

A pricey sushi place that feels worth it. The sushi is by far the freshest sushi I’ve had in all of Miami. The rolls are both creative and super tasty. My favorite roll consisted of spicy tuna and kimchi. It was so tasty and had so much flavor. On top of that all the employees are very kind and helpful. Highly recommend for a special occasion or if you want some really good sushi in Miami.

I have been eating here for years and realized I have never done a review!

Throughout the years, one thing I say for certain is the dedication this team puts in giving great service, evolving ideas on the specialty menu, and quality ingredients.

The taste has always been consistent, even back when there weren’t as many customers. So I am happy to see they are still successful and busier than before, no one else deserves it more than these guys here!

For the quality and the price, no other izakaya or sushi restaurant can beat it in South Florida and that is a fact! Come in and see for yourself, a place that only uses bluefin tuna and many other fish sourced only from the best fisherman in Japan.

If you want a taste of Japan, come here, 10/10 recommended.
