45 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sunny Isles Beach

“It's been a while since I've had top-level sushi. Fitting it was at Chef David's other restaurant, Sushi By Bou. This omakase was a very relaxed 2 hour seating, with remarkable views of the ocean and the north Miami skyline. I found myself thrown back in my chair with the incredible layered flavors of the almost never-ending fresh fish. The cocktails were nuanced, and the atmosphere was filled with pure happiness. I'll definitely find myself coming back here often!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at this sushi restaurant! The service was top-notch - the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel like royalty. The chic decor added to the ambiance, making it a perfect spot for a night out. But the real stars of the show were the dishes! The watermelon pork belly appetizer was OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. And the truffle rainbow roll? Perfect in every way. 🍣👌 We'll definitely be back again to try more of their delicious offerings. If you're a sushi lover, add this place to your must-visit list! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! P.s and i am that kind of person who never leaves reviews unless its something really amazing“

“Shokudo is one of my go-to spots for Japanese food. Their nigiri is always fresh and delicious, and the tempura shrimp is perfectly crispy without being heavy. Every time we come here, the food is consistently good.

It’s also a great value for money—you get high quality without breaking the bank. We come often and it’s become one of our favorite regular spots.“

The spicy chicken teriyaki is next-level 🔥—the flavors are incredible. Thanks so much, I'll definitely be back soon!“

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

“Kuro is truly a best-in-class restaurant where I had an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, our server Jeremy made us feel right at home with a warm welcome and attentive service that lasted throughout the evening.

Jeremy’s professionalism, knowledge of the menu, and polite demeanor were greatly appreciated. He provided excellent food recommendations, and every dish we tried was exceptional. The Chilean Sea Bass and Crispy Tuna in particular were standouts — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Dining at Kuru is an experience worth every penny. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for top-tier food, outstanding service, and a memorable night out.“

“The first time I went to Ogawa, it was on a fluke at the suggestion of a friend of mine who had been there before. I had no idea what to expect. I walked into a very petite intimate restaurant with only. 11 seats. The experience from start to finish was extraordinary. As a New Yorker, who is also in the hospitality business, I have high standards especially around sushi and Japanese cuisine. The food, wine and sake pairings and attention to detail were outstanding. Each course was better than the next. We met the sushi chef, the culinary chef and the owner. They were so lovely and made our experience so special. I look forward to my next visit.“

“Yummy Japanese food and kid friendly !!“

“Loved this place a lot! We came in for the atmosphere and loved the whole experience, our waiter Juan did an amazing job accommodatin our picky requests and to top it off gave us a complementary desert when they knew we were celebrating big news! The Chicken Gyoza and crazy shrimp noodles were my fav orders, along with all the rolls we ordered, I surely recommend it!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I would not just recommend this place I would come out of my way again in a heartbeat. It is so relieving to actually find a place that has great service again. I feel after the pandemic, it's really changed the service force. It was such a fresh breath of air to have such an amazing time and service! I had a party of 11 of us for my birthday, and we were treated with smiles, and taken care of like kings. The food was phenomenal! Some of the most beautiful, fresh seafood I have ever had in my entire life. I've been traveling seven years full-time, and I will definitely be coming back just to eat here! The patio is absolutely gorgeous! It will soon be right on the ocean once they are finishing some construction! Thank you again for such a exhilarating time and a restaurant memory I will never forget and can't wait to see you soon! Best of luck to you all.:-) Brad“

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

“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!)“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“Sushi Más is the place I always want to go when I’m in the Aventura area. The food is delicious, super fresh, and the portions are perfect. The service is outstanding, especially thanks to Ximena, who always makes you feel right at home. Thank you, Ximena!“

“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.“

“Maki-San? More like Make Me Come..... back for more Palate bending experiences. The menu is CLEARLY descriptive to the Flavor ride you're about to embark on. So make sure you're sitting down and not operating Heavy Machinery when you strap in. Almost a 4 star review because I wasn't aware my socks would LITERALLY fly off. Before I could even gather a single strand of yarn, the owner gave me his OWN SOCKS!!!! 4761 Rooted Stars this place gets.“

“Found this place while searching for a Japanese/Thai restaurant in the area, the restaurant looks kind of outdated, the food was good, the best for me was the vegetable fried rice, lots of flavor and crispy veggies, the yakisoba was just ok, not a lot of flavor and the shrimp was overcooked, hard , dry and lacking flavor. Server was friendly but did not come ti the table unless called. Mixed outcome, try it if you want.“

“Decided to try this place on a weekday late at night. Service was slow, but that's because the one server that was there was taking care of multiple things, she was nice. Had a Cali and volcano roll, they were yummy! Also had shrimp tacos, they were just good, I felt it needed a bit more flavor so I added hot sauce. I will be coming back to try something new. Nice, laid back spot.“

“The best Japanese restaurant around“

“This is truly a hidden gem in Miami. The best sushi I have had in this city has been this restaurant. I have came here twice and both times the sushi and service has been excellent. The quality is amazing and everything on the menu is refreshing and delicious. My favorite item is the spicy tuna crispy rice and I loved the spicy trio. The fried cheesecake was an amazing finish to the meal. Also the pad Thai I had on my second visit was amazing and I will definitely be coming back all the time. Definitely a must visit destination for anyone in Miami looking for good sushi“

“Great atmosphere .. good food“

“a veranda with a beautiful view of the ocean ,a children's room and very tasty food , I recommend visiting this restaurant ????“

“During a car show in Miami i had a Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl and it was excellent. extremely well made and delicious.“

“Excellent food and services“

“Great food. Always Fast and high quality.

I'd recommend the Combo 2. It's a large amount of sushi for a reasonable price. If you are hosting a date for 2 at home and want a lot that you can make 2 large plates from its exactly what I'd recommend.

For a group I'd get the larger Combo or 2 of the #2.“

“I love this place. the staff is very friendly and the food is always presented so beautifully and is so delicious. My fav is the curries but nothing on the menu is bad.“

“This was a unique kosher dining experience. The vibe and ambiance was amazing. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive and helpful, not hovering but there as soon as you need them. Cocktails were uniquely presented, original and delicious. The food, where do I start. It is obvious that the chef(s) take a lot of pride in their food. From presentation to the complex and delicious flavors. The turkey wrapped dates were out of this world. I have read other reviews and don’t understand the complaints about portion size and price. The portion sizes were perfect not too much where you are full after one dish and not too small leaving you craving more. Kudos to all of the staff. This is not a cheap family restaurant but you are definitely getting value in the food and experience. Excited to come back and taste more of the incredible menu.“
