Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Bay Harbor Islands

"Since it debuted in early 2018, the Miami Beach outpost of this Michelin-starred New York City concept by the acclaimed Japanese hospitality group, Plan Do See, has been a hit among both locals and tourists. Their main menu features incredible options like succulent sea scallops from Hokkaido paired with creamy, rich uni, shichimi pepper, shisho, yuzu, and ponzu; Japanese wagyu tataki seared to perfection and drizzled with rich truffle oil; crispy golden lobster tempura served with spicy mayo and bubu rice crackers; and all kinds of delectable robata favorites, like Nagoya-style chicken wings with caramelized spice teriyaki sauce, and bonito BBQ pork belly skewers with bubu arare, chile, and lime. You can also choose from a broad assortment of sushi, sashimi and nigiri offerings, oysters on the half shell with Japanese mignonette, and a toro sampler, as well as a range of tempting rice dishes."

"This New York City import boasts a “hidden” sushi counter inside its main restaurant, which serves omakase using local and imported seafood from the top fish markets in Japan. Wash it back with one of the 40 imported whiskeys on hand. Keep an eye on its social media channels for announcements about a wide variety of interesting collaboration dinners with local chefs and purveyors."

"Restaurants Japanese South Beach. Pubbelly Group’s runaway sushi hit—with locations in South Beach, Brickell, Dadeland and Aventura—takes the gastropub concept into Japanese territory. Expect bold Latin flavors and surprise ingredient combinations."

"This sushi comes from the award-winning Pubbelly boys, so guests can expect a menu of classic sushi dishes with their signature twist. Items like tuna pizza, bigeye tuna rolls, and miso bread pudding fill the menu, while the can’t-miss crab roll served with yuzu butter is as delicious as it is Instagram-worthy."

"This petite eatery, on a residential street in SoBe’s western reaches, still attracts the who’s who of beach socialites, hipsters, and the occasional...Read More"

"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. Open daily for lunch and dinner, dusk tends to be the prime time for the public to partake in crudo, chardonnay, and waterfront selfies."

"A post shared by Izakaya Restaurant (@izakaya_restaurant) on Oct 17, 2017 at 7:19pm PDT. Su-Shin Izakaya in Coral Gables is one of those “If you know, you know” places. It doesn’t really promote itself, and the place has barely any social media presence; we found out about it through word of mouth."

"Izakayas – Japanese bars serving small plates that tend to go well with drinking – seem to be the latest trend. But Su Shin Izakaya, which opened in 1992, was way ahead of the curve. The lengthy menu ranges from sushi to ramen with lots of stops in between."

"Adding the freshest sushi and sashimi to a roster that already includes prime beef at Gotham Steak, gourmet Asian fare at Hakkasan, and savory rustic … […]"

"The scene inside Pubbelly Sushi’s brick-walled dining room in Sunset Harbour is hip and casual, and there's outdoor sidewalk seating as well. Here, the perfect order might include the bigeye tuna roll on a crispy, sticky rice cake with truffle oil; the snow crab roll with clarified butter; the Wagyu beef tartare roll; rock shrimp tempura; and Shishito peppers. Keep an open mind, too, because these “deconstructed” sushi rolls don't resemble anything you’ve seen before."

"Any place that features pork as the star of its menu has a place in the heart of The New Tropic’s meat lovers. This gastropub serves up mouth watering, Asian-inspired dishes and its craft beer and wine menu will have the hipster in you itching to post an Insta against the exposed brick walls. Plates are small so take a big group and share all the little things (or hit up Pubbelly Sushi right next door for a second course)."

"Pubbelly is an Asian inspired gastropub serving delicious Asian-fusion dishes. Expect to find dishes like pork belly and scallion dumplings, udon carbonara and barbequed pork belly. This is a unique restaurant that serves light bites, main dishes and also beers from breweries in Asia, Europe and the Americas."

"Review: Friendly servers, fun atmosphere, flavorful flights of beers. Dogfish Head Miami opened its doors when Concrete Beach Brewery closed its social hall. This vibrant and creative brewery has a cult following in Delaware (and you can join their Off-Centered Society, a rewards program that’s kind of like a secret society!)."

"Located in the Dorsey Riverbend Community, Orchestrated Minds Brewing offers a selection of hot-forward IPAs, stouts, and sours on rotation using locally sourced ingredients. Orchestrated Minds is a community-minded brewery partners with other small businesses in the area, making it a must-visit for those wanting to truly travel like a local."

"Review: Guava Wheat beer is phenomenal, unique industrial area surroundings. A large, beautiful brewery located in Hialeah. Unbranded Brewing Co. is a fascinating space with overhanging plants, outdoor seating, and lovely outdoor murals."

"Jackson Soul Food is a restaurant with deep roots in the Overtown community, a historically black neighborhood just west of Downtown Miami. The area has a complicated past, full of highs and lows, and it’s a history that’s essential reading for any Miami resident. You can feel a bit of the neighborhood’s past inside Jackson Soul Food, but you can also enjoy some of the best Southern and soul food dishes you’ll find in town."

"The outdoor seating area is walled off by hedges dripping with pink and purple flowers, giving your meal a garden party vibe. This Midtown restaurant is currently one of the most popular brunch destinations in Miami. So make sure to make a reservation to get your table."
