“Stunning restaurant in Brickell Restaurant. My husband and I love good food and the sexy fish did not disappoint. A little too crowded for my liking but that’s just a preference thing. The atmosphere was very upbeat and presentation of each meal was perfect. 10/10 recommend. If you’re looking for a luxurious Asian experience then this is it! The female restroom seems to be the place where all the ladies go to take selfies 😂 Proceed with caution lol ⛔️ ⚠️“

“Fantastic spot- the food is AMAZING and the prices super reasonable. The south beach sushi bar is very cool and chic. I usually order takeaway (very cute sushi boxes), but been lately coming to the restaurant - big shout out to Sabrina who served us our last time there! :)“

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

“My Review to INTIMO: It's simply put one of the best restaurants in Miami. Any angle you look at it: food quality, taste and presentation; service impeccable; cocktails far from average & usual - interesting, full flavor, gorgeously presented. The dishes and cups. The edible bright flowers that bring life and color to the plate. The waiters! Knowledgeable, delicate, with a sense of humor. Violinist - modernistic rap music that sounds like Bach. Ambiance. The light low key table lamps that look like candles. Beautiful photography and chachkas on the walls. One of the main courses we ordered - polenta with crab meat. I could just do this polenta alone like a dessert cream brûlée. It's a place to return to. Thanks to the chef Juan Chipoco, thanks to every person working at INTIMO who helped to create THE experience. Isabel Levin“

“Authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi bar in the center of Miami.

The yellowtail and chu-toro sashimi were the freshest we have tasted so far in South Florida. We went early and we're the only ones so we had all the attention of the waitress and the chef. Our dishes were prepared right in front of us.

Portions seemed small yet we were full by the time we were done with desert. It was yet another perfect lunch.

Omakase is also available but only during the week at 6om and advanced reservation is required.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had a very enjoyable time at Omakai in Miami this weekend. The restaurant is beautiful and the food and service is excellent. I recommend it highly.“

“Todo como su comida y su personal de es excelente. Gracias“

“the pork egg rolls are amazing!! bad surprise on the hand roll sushi tho! didnt expect we had to do this ourselves. and we didnt ask for utensils so they just dont include them which we definitely needed!“

“I had a great time at this restaurant, the meat is delicious and the service is great. Although the tables are a little bit small when you are getting so many platters“

“Fantastic service. Very thoughtful staff and ready to accommodate any requests. The food was nothing short of fantastic as well, freshness of the fish and precision of flavors, don't expect futile torch shows and tons of spicy mayo, this place of for the initiated.“

“Great service. Excellent food (I’m a Chef so very picky). Sat at the sushi bar. Highly recommended“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“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!“

“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“

“Always wonderful! Great sushi!“

“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 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.“

“My boyfriend and l arrived here at 10 ish pm and we were instantly greeted. All of the staff was extremely kind and helpful. My boyfriend and I each ordered individual rolls and then had some wagyu ramen which was all delicious. The servers were extremely understanding when we asked to switch to a booth, and made it feel like no issue at all.
Our server Roland, was extremely attentive and caring. Food was amazing & the overall vibe of the place was nice as well. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“One of my favourite poke experiences ever!! Travelling with my son, quick trip down Collins Avenue and came across this amazing gem. Have eaten at many poke places across North America, this is one of the best. Super fresh seafood, friendly staff and fascinating sauce blends. Loved it.“

“I had a wonderful time at Japón last night! After seeing some negative reviews I was a little worried as I can be picky. The team did a wonderful job at giving us a great meal! The food came out in perfect timing, the raw fish dishes were high quality. The miso cod was cooked perfectly. They even brought us an off menu dish my friend requested. ❤️ We were treated like guests in a home and didn’t have to ask a waiter for assistance as they were checking on us right when we needed something. I want to give my biggest thanks to Alberto who was making sure everything ran smoothly for our group. He was once of the best service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Thanks so much Japón team!“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this place after getting off our cruise. We will be back! The service was awesome. The vibes were high, and the food was delicious. The chef even thanked us for the high praise. The staff offered samples and gave us some history on how they got started. They need better street advertising, but IYKYK. Look for the sign and follow the vibes. You won't be sorry.“

“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“
