29 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“

“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.“

“Yummy Japanese food and kid friendly !!“

“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!“

“I had an unforgettable dining experience at this fine restaurant! Our waiter was exceptional, providing attentive and friendly service that made us feel truly valued. The manager went above and beyond, ensuring that everything was perfect for our celebration, and their hospitality was nothing short of amazing. The service overall was spectacular, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it was simply superb—each dish was a delightful masterpiece that tantalized our taste buds. I couldn't have asked for a better evening!“

“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.“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 ❤️

“A diamond in the ruff. The place smelled delicious, it made me salivate, not like some other places the smell like fish or greese. I had the shrimp tempura roll, and it was amazing. I also had the beef bento box, the portion was generous and the taste was great. Look forward to trying new items on their menu.“

“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.“

“Great service and food! The ambiance is wonderful, we came for a networking event and it was a great venue.“
