4 of the Best Japanese Restaurants in Miami
"Where else can you dine on Michelin-starred Japanese cuisine right by the ocean?. Azabu Miami Beach serves killer fish (think salmon tataki, miso black cod and spicy tuna crispy rice) with a view of the water. Just make sure to reserve a table on the restaurant’s outdoor patio in advance."
"This Michelin-starred concept from NYC is split between an elegant dining room, a chic cocktail bar and an 11-seat secluded sushi den inspired by a Tokyo izakaya. In any setting, you’ll sup on some unforgettable fish. We’re big fans of the salmon tataki drizzled in a kelp dashi dressing."
"Did not expect the interior to resemble the lobby of a Courtyard Inn, so we asked to sit outside which made up for the lack of ambiance."
"Eighteen stories above 1 Hotel South Beach’s private beach, Watr At The 1 Rooftop serves up Peruvian and Japanese seafood with a heavy dose of atmosphere with waterfront views and city views from its chic rooftop.

"Ready for some of the most stunning unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean?. Sitting at 18 stories, WATR at 1 Hotel Rooftop has you covered. Whether you are staying at the Miami hotel or planning a visit to have some cocktails with views of Miami Beach, you will not be disappointed."
"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."
"Sleek, white-walled eatery for Peruvian- & Japanese-influenced sushi, fish bowls & ceviches. Address: 140 NE 39th St #136, Miami, FL 33137, United States Phone: +1 305-631-2664 Website: http://www.itamaemiami.com/ Store Hours: Sunday: 12-6pm| Monday: 12-8pm| Tuesday: 12-8pm| Wednesday: 12-8pm| Thursday: 12-8pm| Friday: 12-8pm| Saturday: 12-8pm"
"On the spectrum of $200-per-person omakase dinners and that place nearby that does surprisingly good rolls for under $10, you’ll find Blue Ribbon just about in the middle, tilted slightly towards the fancier side of the scale. They serve high-quality fish and the space fits in well with the art deco-style of the cute little hotel that it’s housed in. Come here to eat any roll with fatty tuna and great fried chicken while nodding your head to censored hip-hop songs."
"Restaurants Japanese South Beach. One of the original New York imports to find a home in South Beach (there are many now), Blue Ribbon is a solid choice in the neighborhood. It’s small but offers outdoor seating by the pool (it’s inside the Plymouth Hotel) and a comfortable sushi counter where you can watch the pros go to work on your rolls."
"Hidden behind Koa Restaurant on South Beach, guests are escorted through a dark corridor that opens up into a theater-like den dining room where they’ll dine on a 16- to 18-course dinner created by executive chef Max Kamakura. The menu rotates often with show-stopping dishes highlighting Kamakura’s Brazilian roots and Japanese training like lobster sashimi, uni with black truffle on crispy rice, A5 wagyu nigiri, and otoro uni truffle temaki. Reservations are required, and once booked, guests will receive special instructions on how to access the restaurant."
"We were excited to go since we live in Miami and we had never tried it. For some reason our waiter Lucas thought it was necessary to tell us 15 minutes i..."
"This tiny, classic dining room in Pinecrest feels like you’re in actual Japan, and we don’t mean fast-paced and sophisticated Tokyo. If you were to get on a train from Kyoto to a remote village half an hour away and stumble upon a small restaurant amongst hills and green fields, this would absolutely remind you of Sakura. This shopping center restaurant is easy to miss, but you’ll be glad you found it."
"1111 SW 1st Avenue, MiamiA former El Bulli employee, and recognized as one of the most talented chefs in the world, Diego Muñoz, has created one of the most interesting new restaurants in Miami, in the innovative 1111 Peruvian Bistro. Chef Muñoz travelled the world for work and for inspiration. This inspiration manifests itself food that hints of his global view, his mentors, and the places he has lived."
"Open for curbside pickup, Gran Paris Bakery’s menu is full of cakes, cupcakes, macaroons, specialty pastries, and more. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Gran Paris Bakery (@granparisbakery) on Apr 16, 2020 at 3:19pm PDT"
"Miami has not been immune to the "new Asian fusion" trend, and one of the city's best exponents is Sakaya Kitchen. The combination of bold flavours, local, organic ingredients and in-house preparations is a winning formula, while fast-food style counter service and minimalist decor help keep prices low. Don't miss the banh mi buns with kurobuta pork belly, pâté, house-made mayo and pickles; the chunk'd cheesy tater tots topped with chopped kalbi beef and spicy gochujang sauce; or the honey and orange glazed baby back ribs, served with gingered Brussels sprouts and jasmine rice."
"Restaurants Chinese Midtown. Chef and restaurant owner Richard Hales serves modern, Chinese Sichuan cuisine at this casual but inviting restaurant in Midtown. He sources ingredients locally and isn’t afraid to push the envelope when it comes to proteins, like the gong bao rabbit, and preparations, including handmaking the noodles you’ll inevitably find yourself slurping."
"crystal shrimp dumplings, chicken siu mei, cumin-lamb dumplings and barbecued pork buns. Noodles are made in-house for dishes... Air Date: 10-06-2017"
"This fashionable Chinese bistro chain gets high marks with South Dade's trendier diners, who are all about the contemporary interior and eclectic menu. Start off with do-it-yourself lettuce wraps–these babies alone are worth the trip. Afterwards, go any route you like, from Szechwan or Hunan to Cantonese or Shanghai."
"Arrive at the de la Cruz Collection ready to learn and explore the expanses of the visual arts. The museum, owned by Cuba natives Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz, is rife with thought-provoking exhibits like the current “Progressive Praxis,” which delves into the implications of technology on contemporary art. The de la Cruz Collection is pleasing to both visitors’ artistic curiosities and their wallets--admission is completely free of charge!"
"The Perez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science are both near Brickell, and they’re adjacent to the sprawling Museum Park. If you opt for the science museum, don’t miss the planetarium show!. Afterward, relax at Museum Park, and watch the cruise ships sail away between 4 pm and 6 pm."
"Not far from that is the superb Pérez Art Museum. I highly recommend the guided architecture tour. It's free, it takes about half and hour, and it gives you a great explanation of the architects' work. It's stunning, a beautiful mix between green and concrete."
"More of a cultural center than a museum, the space is both a comforting reminder for Haitian expats of their country’s art, history, music, movies, and literature and a fascinating look into a Caribbean nation that too few have been able to visit. Opened in 2004 to commemorate Haiti’s Bicentennial, the 60,000-square-foot museum is a one-of-a-kind experience just steps from Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a location that makes it even more immersive ($10/adult).
