Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Golden Isles

"We understand the insanity of telling you to go out to dinner just to take a picture of your dessert, but hear us out, because the Raindrop Cake at Azabu Miami Beach is Instagram legend. A glass-like confection made of water with pearl agar, kinako (roasted soybean powder) and Japanese black sugar syrup, it is both bewildering and inspiring. You will see it and immediately understand why it has its own hashtag."

"Azabu was first opened in New York city as a Michelin-star restaurant and later opened another location in South Beach. Located inside the Stanton you will find Azabu serving some of the best sushi in South Beach. The restaurant is open daily from 6 pm to 11 pm."

"Bars Lounges Allapattah. Watr owns its stunning view of the ocean with a Peruvian-inspired rooftop restaurant and bar decked in reclaimed wood. The soundtrack is more akin to breaking waves than the usual club bangers you hear in these parts."

"Nothing like a soft sea breeze, white, pillowy couches and some delicious Peruvian-influenced Japanese cuisine to make us feel like we’re on vacation right here at home. 2341 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-604-6580 or 1hotels.com. View this post on Instagram"

"Residing at the beautiful Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa, 3030 Ocean is a clear departure from the stereotypical seafood room, as this restaurant's interior is cloaked in rich colors and classy dark woods. The menu changes frequently and emphasizes organic ingredients.

"When I heard Itamae, an excellent Nikkei spot that initially debuted in a Design District food hall, was going to open its own restaurant, I was way too excited. I probably checked their Instagram page on a weekly basis for updates. I even ended up interviewing Nando and Val Chang about the process of opening during a pandemic, which sounded like a planetary-size headache."

"Peruvian-Japanese food in Miami. This Nikkei restaurant from the Chang Gang (Papa Fernando Chang, Son Nando and Daughter Valerie) who make the most delicious makis and ceviches in Miami. I'm looking forward a lot for the opening of their new location.". Itame140 NE 39th St #136Miami, United States"

"Last but not least, there's Sushi Song, over in Flamingo Lummus, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 201 reviews on Yelp. You can find the sushi bar, which also offers desserts, salads and more, at 1239 Washington Ave. Named the best sushi restaurant in Fort Lauderdale Daily's Best of Fort Lauderdale: Restaurants, Bars, Gyms and More, Sushi Song offers dishes like the Maine Lobster Volcano Roll, made with baked lobster served on top of a shrimp tempura roll, and the Spiderman Roll, soft shell crab tempura topped with a spicy tuna tartar and eel sauce."

"Dining at this five-star, 10-year-old restaurant on Brickell Key is a treat. Specializing in natural Japanese cuisine, NAOE switches up the menu nightly and charges $220 plus a 20 percent gratuity per person and you can’t eat in a rush here. One meal takes two to three hours to complete and Chef Kevin Cory, who studied the art of Japanese food extensively in Kyoto and then Toyama, prepares it with care from start to finish (if you have dietary restrictions you must let the restaurant know 10 days in advance)."

"Kevin Cory is your host and sushi chef at this intimate restaurant named on Forbes Travel Guide's "Five-Star" list. This reservation-only spot serves omakase dinners using fish flown in overnight from Japan. The chef's-choice menu ($250 per person plus 20 percent service charge and sales tax) takes two to three hours to savor, and people allergic to mushrooms, eggs, seaweed, fish, shellfish, rice, raw foods, vinegar, smoked foods, alcohol, salt, sugar, legumes, nuts, seeds, or gluten cannot be accommodated."

"The high-end tasting menu at this exclusive Brickell Key spot will set you back $220 per person, minimum. The tiny restaurant holds only eight diners at a time and offers two seatings per night. Each meal starts with the most decadent bento box you’ve ever seen, followed by a never-ending procession of traditional nigiri."

"I've eaten a lot of sushi, it is literally better than Nobu. Toshi is the kindest soul in the whole entire unive..."

"Head to this Instagrammable natural-food cafe for its stellar açaí bowls laid-back surfer vibes (even if you’ve never been on a board yourself).

Our choice combo is an oat milk latte with a PB Energy bowl: an açaí bowl with banana, peanut butter, strawberries, granola, goji berries, almonds and cacao nibs."

"You may be deemed basic if you head over to Pura Vida for an acai bowl, but haters gonna hate, and acai bowls are still gonna thrive. They’re yummy, they’re “healthy,” they’re everything a basic betch loves."
