“This place is awesome and serves legit Japanese food! The sushi was so fresh, it reminded me of the sushi place I've been to in Japan. I do wish they offered free hot Matcha like they do in Japan. Either way, their food was awesome and service was quick at the time we went. I was only able to take 📸 of the Matcha Ube dessert, but the sushi was so phenomenal we couldn't resist but to just dig in as soon as it was served! Kampai to more legit Asian restaurants in Miami!“

“How do I begin? Miami is lucky to have a place like this. It truly feels like a portal to Japan. My wife and I dined here on Friday, May 15 at 9PM, and it was hands down one of the best omakase experiences we’ve ever had (and we've had dozens in America and Japan). From the moment we walked in, we were thoroughly impressed and ended the night with one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. If you love sushi, this is absolutely the place to be.

Everything about the restaurant feels intentional and immersive. From the wall art and intimate counter seating to the peaceful Japanese garden in the back, every detail adds to the atmosphere. Even the train passing nearby somehow makes it feel like you’re sitting in a hidden sushi counter in Tokyo. It’s a must-try experience and worth every penny.

The chef was warm, welcoming, and incredibly personable, a truly gracious host who made the evening feel special from start to finish. Watching the chefs work up close highlighted the level of craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail behind every course served.

One of the things that stood out most was how refined and balanced the entire omakase felt. Every dish showcased restraint and confidence rather than relying on gimmicks. The wagyu beef was the best bite of A5 weve had anywhere. The seafood quality was exceptional across the board. The shrimp nigiri was unbelievably sweet and delicate, the silver-skinned fish had perfect texture and knife work, and the fatty tuna courses completely melted in your mouth. The uni, caviar pairings, and layered flavors throughout the meal felt luxurious without ever becoming overwhelming.

The pacing of the courses was also flawless. The warm dishes, broths, tempura, and composed plates broke up the nigiri beautifully and made the experience feel thoughtful and complete rather than repetitive. Even something as simple as the tamago had remarkable texture and flavor. Every course genuinely felt like edible art 🍣

This is the kind of omakase that reminds you why traditional sushi craftsmanship matters. Elegant, balanced, immersive, and genuinely unforgettable. Easily a top-tier omakase experience and one we cannot wait to return to.

We are Grateful and thankful to have been able to try this restaraunt. Were counting down the days that we can return to Ogawa. A big thank you to the Chef and Staff from the bottom of our hearts. I cant even put it into words how amazing the food here is. Its incredibly exceptional.“

“Providing quality service and a comfortable atmosphere“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“Ate there this evening from out of town or server was Noel. Everything we had was absolutely incredible.Warm mushrooms, crab fried eyes, the sushi ceviche, absolutely hands down I will be back!“

“Overall a great Omakase experience. Highly recommend it when in Miami.“

“Great experience warm welcoming“

“If you're looking for the ultimate omakase experience, this is it. Tucked away in an intimate, dimly lit space that practically begs for a date night, every seat feels special but the bar is where the magic happens.

Chef Tomo lights up this entire place. From the moment you sit down, he treats you like family warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about every piece he places in front of you. Sitting at the bar isn't just a meal; it's a front-row seat to an art form. He walks you through each plate with the kind of detail that makes a food connoisseur's heart sing where the caviar came from, why the fish is prepared that way, what to look for in texture and flavor.

Every bite was pristine. Thoughtful. Unforgettable.

For the quality, the intimacy, and the hospitality, this is a solid 10/10. Already planning my next visit.“

“We had an amazing experience at The Blind Tiger! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was beautifully presented—including the desserts. What really made the evening special was our waitress, Seda. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Her recommendations were great, she checked on us at just the right times, and her positive attitude made the entire experience memorable. Exceptional service like hers is hard to find. We can’t wait to come back and will definitely be asking for Seda again. Highly recommend!“

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

“Todo lo que comimos estuvo delicioso ,100% recomendando“

“The concept of this restaurant is fantastic, and it’s why I’ve come back twice. Also, it is very beautiful! It has all the potential to be a five-star experience.

The biggest missed opportunity is the chef interaction. Since they’re cooking directly in front of guests, a simple greeting or brief explanation of each dish would make the experience so much more engaging.

The service was also underwhelming. With gratuity already included, the staff didn’t seem very attentive or welcoming.

The food is filling, and most of the rolls are delicious, though some, like the crab mayo roll, were underwhelming.

A little more warmth and attention to hospitality would turn it into a restaurant people would be excited to return to.“

“was great“

“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.“

“LOOOOOOVE. The BEST omakase I’ve ever been to… and I’ve been to a few! All the sushi is like an explosion in your mouth. The chefs Jeremiah and John are so nice and creative and explain everything. The host Julio went above and beyond for me. Pricey but so worth it“

“Brianne absolutely made our Fourth of July! I came in feeling completely stressed and overwhelmed, and she turned my entire night around. From the moment she greeted us, she was so kind, attentive, upbeat, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Her positive energy was contagious, and by the end of the meal I was smiling, laughing, and actually enjoying the holiday. She went above and beyond with amazing service and deserves all the recognition. If you get Brianne as your server, you’re in for the best experience. Thank you for making my night so much better—Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆“

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

“the place is excelent and the waitress Maria is very professional and friendly“

“Great omakase by a skilled Japanese Itamae. Everything was fresh and delicious. Choices were well thought out to provide a range of tastes snd textures. Service was diligent and attentive. A rare experience in this part of the world.“

“I cannot stop talking about Hiyakawa!
I had the best fish here since I’ve moved to Miami.
They will give you options of glasses for your sake (if ordered) that they buy from Japan.
The fish also comes from Japan and they had fishes I’ve never heard of before.
I was very excited to try new flavors and our server explained everything we needed to know from the taste of the fish to how it is prepared.
I would come here every week and not get tired of it. Highly recommend!“

“El salmón está delicioso!!“

“The food was delicious, authentic Peruvian causa, and Japanese/Peruvian fusion for ceviche and sushi dishes. This place appears to cater to take out, so they have limited indoor seating and a small but nice, covered, outdoor seating area by the sidewalk.“

“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.“

“The sushi was fresh and delicious. Incredibly friendly and fast service, restaurant is clean. I walked in drenched from the rain and my server Dany made sure I sat somewhere away from the AC which I appreciated so much. He is very attentive and prompt. All of the employees are kind and welcoming. I will be back.“

A special thank you to Giulia, who truly made our visit memorable. She was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her hospitality was outstanding.

“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 had the Omakase experience and it was just amazing!!!!“

“My husband and I had the most amazing experience at this J&M Latin fusion food truck right by VOUS Church! From the moment we arrived, the energy and hospitality were unmatched. You can truly feel how much love they put into what they do.

The food… WOW. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious—dumplings, sushi, chicken kebabs—each dish was flavorful, fresh, and surprisingly light. You know it’s high-quality food when you wake up the next day still feeling great, and that was exactly our experience!

What really stood out to me was the service. They were so attentive, welcoming, and genuinely excited to serve us. They kept checking in, making sure everything was perfect, and made us feel so taken care of.

It’s rare to find both incredible food and heartfelt service in one place, but they truly delivered on both. I’m so grateful we found this gem, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Praying and believing they open their own restaurant very soon—they absolutely deserve it! 🙏✨“

“Amazing food, drinks and the team of Matteo is just great’ as a regular in the Negroni midtown I just can say : welcome to brickell !!!and can’t wait to be back! Manuel served us and he was great! Negroni fountain all day long! See you soon ps best place to see the World Cup“
