“Very fresh fast and delicious!!!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Ke-uH Restaurant at Acqualina Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant is elegant, cozy, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious! I especially enjoyed the Salmon Pizza, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Tuna Tartare was outstanding, and the sushi was some of the best I've had—beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. Everything about our evening was enjoyable, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Very nice person. She greeted us and gave us details of the menu. We felt like at home with her personality“

“We had an incredible experience at Pari Pari for my birthday celebration with our family. Everything was perfect, starting with the ambience to the service to the food. The hand rolls were absolutely delicious and we will 100% be back! Particular shout out to the service from Xander, Malcolm, Shirley and others“

“I’m not one to leave a bunch of reviews. Double Knot was something the Ave desperately needed. The atmosphere and welcome are second to none. We sat at the bar and Nikki took the best care of us we have had in years. She was also running service bar for the whole restaurant. Absolutely crushed it! The manager Nicole was more than accommodating. She was attentive and I basically let her order my entire meal. There were no misses. From the tuna tartar to the wagyu bavette steak, everything came out quick and presented perfectly and delicious. Edamame dumplings were incredible. All the nigiri and small plates as well. Probably the most unlikely star of the show was their soft serve ice cream. Basically had everything on the menu and already planning my next visit. What an awesome experience. 10/10“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“The food was amazing!! The omakase choices of each and every dish were absolutely very tasty and each flavor was more rich and fresh than the other: A real feast for your palate! The setting was intimate and yet the vibes were energetic and the atmosphere really pleasant. The service was defined by one word:impeccable Mel was unbelievably courteous and was there for our very need. Julian and Natchira also helped make our dining experience a memorable one. We will definitely be back for more :)“

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

“Yet another spectacular surprise on the culinary map! I consider myself incredibly fortunate to experience meals of this caliber, especially while collaborating with such phenomenal clients on exciting new projects.

Architecturally, the venue is a triumph. The design framework is visually arresting and creates an immediate sense of place.

The front-of-house execution was flawless. The staff were radiant, exceptionally attentive, and possessed a deep technical knowledge of the menu. Service pacing was immaculate—anticipatory rather than reactive.

From a menu-engineering standpoint, the balance between land and sea protein is brilliantly executed. It is inclusive enough to satisfy a discerning palate while remaining accessible to more conservative diners.

Engrossed in high-level conversation, we surrendered ordering autonomy to our server and requested a bespoke, multi-course selection. She delivered a masterclass in curation.

While the visuals speak volumes, they only hint at the palate's reality. The flavor profiles and execution were exceptional. Each dish demonstrated meticulous presentation and a level of finesse that beautifully matched the flavors. Portion scaling was precise, allowing a party of six to share comfortably with enough for a second bite.

The standout of the night was undeniably the Chilean sea bass. It was executed to absolute succulent perfection, bound by a savory glaze that masterfully elevated—rather than masked—the pristine, inherent profile of the fish.

On my next visit, I plan to explore the raw bar and precision sushi rolls. A technical note for the finish: do not skip dessert. The donuts are decadently elite.

Kuro delivers on every metric. If you stop by the bar for a high-proof, well-crafted cocktail, say hello to Marcos and let him know Nick sent you.“

“I love this place, I’ve been eating here for years. The sushi is always delicious and the staff is always friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: My fiance is in crutches and was able to enter and sit in this restaurant comfortably!“

“The food was absolutely incredible! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Dani provided five-star service from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. It was my first time here, and I already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!“

“I had an amazing experience at Hikari! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service made the night even better. Our waiter, Moses, was absolutely incredible—so friendly, attentive, and super helpful with recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. He truly went above and beyond and made our experience so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back and hope to have Moses as our waiter again!“

“We found this sushi place while looking for something to eat. We came around 6 PM and were seated right away with no wait.
The sushi was fresh, which is a big deal for us because if my boyfriend and I eat sushi that isn’t fresh, we usually end up with upset stomachs. Everything we had tasted fresh and we had no issues.
If you don’t see the sushi you want ,you can always order directly from the menu. It’s much faster, you get exactly what you want without waiting and no one will cut you off take you plate. 🤣“

“This place is a true hidden gem. I’m always surprised by the warmth and kindness of everyone who works here, and the calm, comfortable atmosphere makes every visit feel special.
I’ve tried more than seven dishes so far, and every single one has been fantastic — fresh ingredients, flavor combinations that make you close your eyes, and vegetables that actually taste delicious.
The desserts are perfectly portioned for those of us who enjoy sweetness in moderation, without losing any of the flavor. Highly recommended.“

“excellent decoration, comida delicious 😋, buen menu de comida de mar“

“Had a wonderful experience tonight. We had Carlos as our server and he was absolutely on top of everything. Was always checking on us without being annoying if you know what I mean.. Great sushi rolls and my daughter had a wonderful red curry with shrimp. Will definitely be back! Carlos, you're the best!!!!“

“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.“

“Как всегда невероятно вкусно. Наши праздники всегда проходят с Sushi_ZeY и всегда радует внимание ребят. Вовремя и с любовью! Рекомендую!“

“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!)“

“Our server, Ladi, was great. We had no complaints and were 100% satisfied. High quality, well seasoned food. High energy and good vibes from the dj. Not to mention the aesthetics gave luxury vibes. We’ll definitely return each trip to Miami.“

“Amazing nigiri with fresh and warm Shari of very high quality. Fresh and very well cut and done fish. Elegant food but with a casual environment. Our server Vicky gave us amazing choices so we could have a true Oma experience. Very kind and thoughtful.“

“Matsuyoi easily ranks as the best omakase experiences my partner and I have ever had. Beyond the incredible freshness and flavor of every course, what really sets this place apart is the attention to detail at every touchpoint of the guest experience.

From the personalized welcome card to the intimate setting, the perfectly curated playlist, and the thoughtful gift at the end — everything feels intentional and beautifully executed. The chefs and staff are engaging, fun, and make you feel like you’re part of something special rather than just dining at a restaurant.

We also did the wine pairing and every dish was mouthwatering to say the LEAST. The creativity of each bit, from the rolls to the soup to dessert and everything in between, made for a dining experience that had us anticipating what was next, but also savoring every moment and not wanting that course to end.

We got to chat with our seat neighbors and truly had a wonderful time. Very different from a traditional Omakase experience in that regard as well. The speakeasy type setup also made it feel exclusive and like a premium experience. It just felt sexy and fun!

If I lived in Miami, I’d come here a hundred times over. For now, it’s firmly on our must-visit list every time we’re back in the city. Truly unforgettable.“

“Best Thai food ever ! The food is so good we had to go back for more next day. Everyone who works there was so nice and welcoming, they listened and answered our questions and even googled pictures to show us. The price is very reasonable. The care and quality with which the food is made is top notch. The food looks, smells and tastes amazing! Wow Wow ! Seriously you are missing out on the experience of your life. It’s very difficult to find great tasting food made with high quality ingredients and served with love in Miami so go to See Thai because it’s simply the best food in town.“

“Taiko Sushi deserves every star possible. Their service is excellent, and they handled our event with impressive professionalism. Even when we had miscommunication on our side, they stepped in, fixed the order without hesitation, and still made the party happen. They went beyond what anyone could expect. The food was fresh, the presentation was clean, and their team stayed calm, friendly, and solution focused the entire time. Taiko Sushi is the kind of business you trust for important moments. I highly recommend them. 💯💯💯❤️🙏“

“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.“

“Fuji Hana exceeded all expectations for my wife’s birthday dinner! The food was absolutely outstanding, the service was exceptional, and every detail made for a memorable evening. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended!“

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

“Sushi Siam is an absolute hidden gem. Their menu is extensive, featuring a mix of Thai and Japanese dishes, so there’s something for everyone.

The sushi is fresh, beautifully presented, and expertly prepared — it’s as much a treat for the eyes as it is for your taste buds. Beyond sushi, they also serve fantastic Pad Thai and Tom Kha Kai soup that are definitely worth trying.

What’s unique about this spot is that it’s almost always empty, likely because most of their business is takeout. But I actually loved the solitude — it feels like a private dining experience.

The building itself is definitely dated, giving off some serious Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom vibes (you’ll get the reference once you go). But honestly, that throwback vintage sushi restaurant vibe adds to its charm and makes the experience feel special.

If you’re looking for high-quality sushi and Thai food in a relaxed, low-key environment, Sushi Siam is a must-try.“

“This site is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. Whenever I feel like having a good dinner, this is the place that comes first to my head. very good and food and a large list of dishes.great staff, and pleasant atmosphere. Also important, the pay is reasonable. I praise this spot with no doubt.“

“Excellent. Enjoyed my food.“

“The best Japanese restaurant around“

“VARIOUS SUSHI ROLLS, BASIL FRIED RICE, & VARIOUS NOODLE BOWLS!!! THAI DRINKS! SAM IS SO SO GREAT 👍👍“

“A wonderful find during our stay in Miami, and the music and cocktails were perfect for a great evening with friends. A big thank you to Anas for his warm welcome and excellent service from start to finish.
This should be part of your plan if you visit Miami !“

“Caroline the red head made sure to make my experience here always a 10/10. she’s always very accompanying and always so welcoming. she was extremely attentive the entire time, food came out quick and was excellent!! she had such a welcoming smile and was always always making sure we had everything we need. Also abraham and louis adding an even better touch behind the bar with their talent. i came back already three times this week and made sure she was my server and will continue that way.“

“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.“
