31 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“

“I'm from New York and I can honestly say this place has great Sushi for a very reasonable price. Very authentic, whole in the wall in the best way possible. The boats with the sushi gives it a very unique experience. The place was super busy on a Wednesday and the wait was about 40 minutes. We went next door for beers while we waited and it was worth the wait. Food was delicious, the ginger and wasabi was fresh as well as all the sushi. Service was tough love with lots of smiles, because they are so busy ! Over all 10/10 amazing experience!“

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

“Yummy Japanese food and kid friendly !!“

“This is my fav sushi spot and one of my fav spots in Miami. Food is quality and gives an authentic take on signature pieces. My FAVORITE picks that I always order when I go no matter what : 1. Crunchy sushi 🍣 (chef’s kiss), chicken potstickers 🥟 (chef’s kiss twice), jalepeño hamachi roll with rice paper (the rice paper replaces the seaweed and allows you to enjoy more of the flavors). Attentive and friendly staff make it a space that feels like your friends home.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I wasn’t expecting to have such a great Japanese Kaiseki style starters, sushi in Miami. Dobinmushi soup with Matsutake mushrooms was so delicious and muskmelon sherbet was so refreshing.
Everyone is so attentive and I felt l’m in my favorite restaurant I always go in Japan.“

“We've been to El Secreto 5x over a few years and each time it is simply spectacular in every way. Chef Eric and Chef Carlos are exceptional chef's and human beings. It's so fun to chat with them in such a personal/intimate setting while they prepare each dish and to hear them explain the details of each course. Simply spectacular - highly recommend and we cannot wait to be back again for another omakase.“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“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“

“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!)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing little spot feels so welcoming, and the food was soooo fresh. I had salmon all around, and it was the freshest I've had by far... you can visit after the beach or on a fancy date it is just so versatile definitely will visit again. The prices match the service and quality of the food. Absolutely loved it ❤️

Vegetarian options: They offer a variety and will customize your food to fit your liking

Parking: Plenty of additional parking in the rear of the restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking available right next to ramp for easy access“

“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“
