“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“

“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!)“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“Food was delicious. Staff was overly accommodating. Environment was fun and modern. Would love to visit this restaurant again. I might go again tomorrow. Yummm!“

“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.“

“I had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, but what really stood out was the service. Fabiola was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire visit.

And I especially have to highlight LUISA — her drinks were AMAZING. You can really tell how much talent and dedication she puts into every cocktail. Every drink was perfectly made, with incredible flavor and presentation. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Luisa truly made the experience even more special, and I would definitely come back mainly for her drinks. Highly recommend trying anything made by her.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“A delicious experience, amazing Ramen and really unique rolls“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 place is excelent and the waitress Maria is very professional and friendly“

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

“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 love this restaurant . 😍“

“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!“

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

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“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.“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“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.“

“The whole experience was amazing, we had a big party for a friend’s birthday dinner and Dario was so attentive, the food was amazing and we got to experience a few items off the Miami Spice menu.

10/10 would most definitely be coming back and recommending this spot.“

“Elena served us and the whole time she was very attentive and caring towards our whole party of 7. Jordan made our hibachi dinner and it was so delicious. We were all very happy with our experience at Japan inn and it was a great place to celebrate together“

“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!!!“

“Great experience warm welcoming“

“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.“

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

“I don’t write reviews much at all. But upon trying this place for the first time and being a quarter into my meal I just had to write one. The presentation (especially getting it delivered for takeout) went above and beyond. My picture I’ll provide probably won’t do it justice. I ordered the 30 piece Dragon Tempura, Tori, and Heaven rolls. All of them were excellent. All in all an 11/10 would definitely recommend to a sushi lover. Great job guys“

“Miami has not had good ramen since covid. (RIP Ramen Ya) So I was thrilled to check out Yume. Excellent house made broth, perfect jammy eggs, springy noodles……I had the black garlic tonkotsu and it was amazing. Service was fast and friendly, and they have a large selection of bubble teas as well.“

“Delicious food, many options, well worth it.“

“That salmon looks like it melts on contact. Perfect dice, perfect shine. The sesame on top is such a good touch — adds crunch without hiding the fish.Fresh, clean, not overdressed. 10/10
And kristine was so nice we love her“

“La comida excelente la atención súper buena El ambiente muy familiar“

“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!“
