“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!“

“We had a fantastic evening at Hiyakawa—warm hospitality, generous portions, and an omakase that reminded us why this place is so special. Chef Royce’s talent really shines in the precision and balance of each course.

The shrimp nigiri was the standout for us—cooked to perfection—closely followed by the otoro with caviar, which was a wonderfully generous touch and beautifully balanced. My friend loved the monkfish liver, and I was especially impressed by the baby eel nigiri.

Chef Jaimie’s dishes were also memorable—especially the steamed tofu, which was incredibly silky and tasty, with a delicate, well-balanced flavor. The perfectly fried shrimp head was a treat, and the refreshing dessert ended the meal on a light, clean note.

Overall, an excellent experience and one we’re still savoring—highly recommended.“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience dining at this sushi restaurant with our family. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and felt very welcome. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, perfect for a family dinner. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — truly some of the best we’ve ever had. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. Thank you for making our family dinner so special — we’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“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 felt very othered here when I came to celebrate a milestone. I don’t want to make it racial, but as the only person to lower their voice as the only black person in the restaurant, it felt very jarring to see everyone else speaking at a louder volume than I was and any it wasn’t a problem. Delicious food but shitty vibes. Especially for what I was paying. Won’t be back. If black I guess beware.“

“Tiffany was wonderfu and a ray of sunshine! I brought some clients out for lunch and she very patiently explained the options available and even helped us order some dishes to go. Very fast service and wonderful food, I had the chicken Katsu and it was amazing!“

“I celebrated my Mom’s 89th Birthday at Japan Inn located in Doral with a Hibachi Lunch and everything turned out great! From the time we made the reservation for our party of 20 they were very accommodating and helpful. We were allowed to take our own cake, some balloons for decor and the ambiance was super! From the Servers to the Hibachi Chefs … everyone was pleasant, the food yummy and the service outstanding. Everyone in our party was happy and satisfied with the experience and our celebration…especially the birthday girl, my Mom. I highly recommend Japan Inn in Doral for any occasion. There’s ample parking, the restaurant is clean and the spacious setting is very nice. Plus Roger, the Manager, is very professional as well as the whole team who work there. We look forward to returning soon and wish to express our gratitude for the service and attention given to our party.“

“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!)“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a wonderdul place..The Sushi is spectular...I highly recomend..“

“Very careful with the servers at the time of payment, they explain everything to you so as not to give you a receipt, and they themselves take care of taking their tip.If it's about sushi, I don't think it's a bad choice, from the presentation to the flavor.“

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“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 ⛔️ ⚠️“

“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.“

Also got the salmon onigiri which was spectacular. Back again tonight to try something else and the owner was super helpful with suggestions. Will report back!“

“We had a very enjoyable time at Omakai in Miami this weekend. The restaurant is beautiful and the food and service is excellent. I recommend it highly.“

“Great Hibachi Find in Kendall, Miami Dade. Delicious hibachi and abundant portions at an affordable price which was $24.

We ordered two plates of steaks and shrimps. They came with mushroom soup, salad, house ginger and carrots dressing.

The steaks were tender and the portions were large. The shrimps were 6 large and juicy pieces. The yum yum sauce was delicious.

The restaurant is located in a shopping center off of Kendall Drive with Plenty of free parking spaces.

The restaurant was clean and cozy. The decor was simple but well balanced. The staff were friendly and polite.

We enjoyed the food extremely and we plan to return with the rest of our large family. I highly recommend it to family and friends.“

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

“Sakura is where I, as a 7 or 8 year old kid, tasted my first piece of sashimi. It was Hamachi, and it changed my life. Over the past 40 ish years, Sakura has remained a constant in our lives. From working lunches to family and friend dinners, celebrations, and everyday weeknight dinners, Sakura has been a favorite. It has not changed much, and that is a very good thing. Wonderful people sharing their wonderful food with South Florida for that long says something amazing about the food and the family here. Thank you, Sakura, for being in my heart (and my stomach!) for 40 years. どうもありがとうございます“

They have something on the menu for everyone, so you dont have to love sushi. They have a deserts the fried ice cream and donuts are soooo good. This is the best authentic sushi in the area not fusion just good traditional sushi.“

“We are regulars here for over a decade and a staff is always great along with the food. Place is always very clean, but every once in a while they play like some club music in the background which I could do without but other than that I have no complaints. I love the place“
