The service was also outstanding, very attentive and friendly. A great experience overall and definitely a place I would recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Best sushi I ever had 🏆🏆🏆🏆“

“This hidden treasure destroys your stereotype that the food quality at revolving sushi places (like Kuro) are generally mid. Each piece of fish is fresh and well prepared. You will notice it with your first bite. They had blue fin tuna specials and the otoro and a kami was worth every penny! You can also order their kitchen food, which is also very high quality. Their udon noodle is a must try, because you can tell their broth is specially made in house. The one downfall was the atmosphere. This place is packed so make a reservation or get there early. An hour wait is nothing. It is also obviously a local hotspot because it seemed the staff knew most of the customers on a first name basis. As a traveler passing by, I was pretty much waiting int eh corner watching everyone be friendly and feeling ignored. Locals were offered to order drinks while they wait, while not a word was spoken to me up until I was getting close to getting a table. But, still a 5-star in my opinion because of the food quality and the price.“

“Great customer service by Christian! Delicious sushi - the tuna tartar was my favorite!!! Two thumbs up! 👍 👍 Highly recommend it!“

“Grand opening Delicious food“

“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.“

“All north Miami Beach favorite place Cheap Great Food 🍱 Great attention Perfect location“

“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 :)“

“Looove Kuro! Not only is the food amazing but the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable in their dishes. We had Luis as our waiter and he made the difference in our experience as he led us through deciding what to order based on our interests. Their chefs are not only incredibly talented, but they make their dishes memorable (at least for me the short rib) 🥹

Few must have recs: Chilean, sea bass, beef short rib, Wagyu tacos

Will definitely come back again! Also recommend to make reservations in case they get full“

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

“The food is excellent always fresh. I literally order it three times a week if not more! The first time I tried, it was in their Hollywood location, which was also stellar! Always, Fresh, and the prices are amazing! Definitely check it out!“

“The hostess was a little rude when we called to make a reservation but other than that, the service was spectacular. The rooftop was very vibey which was very cool. The view was better over near the bathrooms but still a great experience. The food was amazing - make sure you try the kimchi bowl and tuna rolls. They have amazing coffee as well.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend Hikari! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The waiters were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We really enjoyed everything and had such a great experience. Definitely a place I would recommend and come back to again!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!)“

“The best Japanese restaurant around“

“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.“

“Victoria our server was excellent, very sweet, professional and knowledgeable. The quality of the fish was outstanding, not fishy at all and buttery, you won’t need teeth lol. The atmosphere was good but didn’t love that the tables were very close together. Overall.we will be back for the food and service.“

“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. 💯💯💯❤️🙏“

“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.“

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

“An absolute GEM. Miami needs more restaurants like this. No hype, no smoking mirrors; Just a beautiful restaurant to come sit, have a delicious meal, and feel satisfied.
The menu is expansive- something for everyone.
The flavors of the Thai dishes we had were exceptional, and the portions were more than enough.
I will be back. This will be my go-to local restaurant.“

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

“Best sushi in town totally worth the drive“

“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.“

“As a Miami local, I look forward to trying new eats around the area. This place easily puts Benihana out of business. We paid $29 for the hibachi chicken AND rice, veggies, etc. Safe to say we had leftovers. The service is also great, very attentive and sweet. Would come back again.“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Oh have I been to restaurants. Nothing else to say except for, if you want to have an insane fun experience and love lights music great service and good food and vibes. You won’t be disappointed. 10/10. Mayer served us and was absolutely fantastic“
