50 Best Japanese Restaurants near West Miami

“I recently visited Miami and I'm so glad I ate here. This was the best sushi I've had in years. it was so fresh, and delicious. I had the tuna tataki which was amazing. Unlike a lot of restaurants that use a lot of fillers like tempura flakes in their tataki, the tataki here was full of fish and the tobiko. I keep thinking about it! it also had so much fish that this, one order of salmon sushi and a miso soup was all I needed. This will 100% be one of my first stops anytime I'm in the area.“

“A+ on food through service and everything in between.“

“Made a great meal with vegan options. Delicious food, nice people!“

“El mejor sushi de Miami! Siempre que voy pido el Suntory y el Blue Bird roll. A mis hijos les encantan los postres, uno mejor que el otro!“

“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.“

“Muy rica la comida y satisfecha con la atención brindada por Yani. Pronto volveremos . Excelente servicio!!!“

“Providing quality service and a comfortable atmosphere“

“Loved 107 Taste! Cindy is amazing, and the Pad Thai was sooo good, full of flavor, and cooked just right. Highly recommend! (Don’t forget the donuts!)“

“Food was delicious. Staff was overly accommodating. Environment was fun and modern. Would love to visit this restaurant again. I might go again tomorrow. Yummm!“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“Fantastic overall experience. They don’t have a lot of variety in the dishes so I can see how others can be upset about that, but for me every dish was amazing.

The only flaw was there was zero explanation of the dishes, origins of the fish, flavor profiles, etc. they just made the dishes and gave it to you. For those who have been to other omakases, there is usually a detailed presentation behind every dish which makes the experience so much better because you actually get to understand what makes the dish special.“

“Such a hidden gem! The food is incredible and Fabiola provided excellent service. The smoked truffle tuna tartar was a show stopper. Also, if you have someone in your party who is not a fan of sushi, they offer extremely creative and delicious burgers. Do not sleep on Nuvo Fusion. 10 stars!“

“Excelente la atención de German y la comida demasiado buena.. Lo recomiendo 👍“

“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!“

“What a great experience! Right in South Miami! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! Very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu and drinks. She recommended the Omakase Signature to share. It comes with a variety of sushi. Compliments to the chef, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. 100% recommend coming down and seeing Karen and enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere!“

“A delicious experience, amazing Ramen and really unique rolls“

“This place is amazing, but my favorite part was Dillan’s service, it’s hard to find that type of service now a days, he’s knowledgeable, funny, kind, and so attentive, it makes every part of the experience so much more amazing, also the octopus is a must!“

“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!“

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

“Went with some friends for Miami Spice and had SUCH a great experience. Our server April was an absolute sweetheart; so goodhumored, funny and attentive. She brought such a positive energy every time she came to check on our table, and had great referrals for us between the drinks and menus too. We LOVED all the appetizers: the chicharrones are SO good/addictive but the egg custard/onion soup fusion was a delightful surprise favorite for all of us. Our steaks were cooked to absolute PERFECTION 👌🏾 and while I was a fan of the chocolate tart, that carrot cake was a fantastic creation to enjoy. 100/10 Loved it!“

“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 fish selection was just okay—nothing particularly special. I’d rate it 6/10. The presentation was much better at 8/10, and the service was a 7/10.

Overall, I don’t think the experience was worth the price. They also seemed to push drinks quite heavily, which made it feel like they were trying to encourage guests to spend more.

I’m glad we tried it so we could form our own opinion, but unfortunately, based on our experience, it’s not a place we would recommend to our friends.“

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

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

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

“Awesome service.Elena was our server and she did a fantastic job with the customer service ! I took my nephew there to try sushi for the first time and he also rates it a 5/5! The restaurant was also extremely clean and well put together!I will definitely be coming again!“

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

“Excellent. Fully recommended. Everything we ordered was fantastic, different, tasty. You must try!“

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

“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.“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“The whole experience was amazing, we had a big party for a friend’s birthday dinner and Dario was so attentive, the food was amazing and we got to experience a few items off the Miami Spice menu.

10/10 would most definitely be coming back and recommending this spot.“

“Elena served us and the whole time she was very attentive and caring towards our whole party of 7. Jordan made our hibachi dinner and it was so delicious. We were all very happy with our experience at Japan inn and it was a great place to celebrate together“

“Girls
Guys

I’m not gonna pretend and say it’s the best BECAUSE I can’t lie

It’s the best sushi - that is IF you want traditional and actually appropriate it. You have to know the Japanese cuisine - it comes with a huge respect to everything and everyone“

“We went there for my birthday and we loved it! The restaurant's ambience was so inviting and upscale, food was very interesting and delicious, and drinks were pretty! We loved crispy rice spicy tuna- very crispy, and rock shrimps were great which made us order rock shrimp roll( my favorite)! Drinks were a little strange- fortune teller was very specific, i was expecting more whisky flavor, but it tasted more sour. The restaurant is very beautiful, love it that it's outside but feels like you are in Japanese garden! We will be back!!!“

“This is a wonderdul place..The Sushi is spectular...I highly recomend..“

“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.“

“We love this place! It’s our second time already and our fan favorite for girls night. Great selection of food and drinks. Ask for Mariana, she’s the best guide in what to select but definitely get the hamachi crudo for an appetizer, it’s FANTASTIC!!! Our favorite selection.“

“El mejor sushi de Miami. This is the only sushi in Miami area that’s actually filling and delicious. The food comes out fast and always the best quality. I’ve come here multiple times and they have never disappointed me.“

“Great experience warm welcoming“

“First time at this location and everything was amazing the service, the speed, the atmosphere and obviously the food. I was helped by Sergay as soon as I stepped in the door and offered a beer to wait. Rich helped us at the table and he was amazing can’t wait to be back. Everyone else was also very attentive. The wait wasn’t even that long maybe 20-30 mins max“

“I've been meaning to try Sushi Corner after reading many reviews about how tasty and affordable this restaurant is, finding all these reviews to be completely true! This hole in the wall gem of West Kendall is well worth your time to try! I came in with my boyfriend last night to their small no frills location and was immediately greeted by our server who was very attentive throughout our whole meal. It's true that they do serve everything using plastic ware which to me doesn't matter at all. I care about the quality of food and the food is definitely top notch! My boyfriend and I decided to order various menu items to share. I started with a hot bowl of Miso Soup $2 which was good; loved the portion which I felt was more than most places. Next we had the Rainbow Roll $10 (California roll topped w/various fish) which was glaringly fresh and came out beautifully. The Sexy Roll $10 (fish tempura, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, rolled w/soy paper, tempura flakes, eel sauce, spicy mayo) was by far my favorite just because of all the incredible flavors in it. The Florida Roll $9 (spicy conch, cucumber, masago) definitely surprised me with its spice level and amount of conch within it. Lastly, we ordered the Sushi Corner Fried Rice $8 (chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and masago) which ultimately surprised me in portion and tastiness. The fried rice isn't over done with soy sauce so it remains tasting light though its also savory because of a smoky flavor. So tasty! Can't wait to try your other roles and highly recommend to anyone in the area as I think they also deliver!“

“Delicious food, many options, well worth it.“

“La comida excelente la atención súper buena El ambiente muy familiar“

“Miami has not had good ramen since covid. (RIP Ramen Ya) So I was thrilled to check out Yume. Excellent house made broth, perfect jammy eggs, springy noodles……I had the black garlic tonkotsu and it was amazing. Service was fast and friendly, and they have a large selection of bubble teas as well.“
