Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Miami-Dade County

"A Michelin-starred concept from New York City, Sushi Azabu offers sushi in several different areas, but sushi lovers should check out "The Den," a hidden sushi counter behind the kitchen. The 11-seat bar, which requires reservations, offers omakase-style dining with seafood flown in from Japan. If you prefer to dine at home, Azabu has launched Bubusan, a delivery-only offshoot that delivers omakase boxes of sushi (including a vegan offering) in exquisite packaging."

"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."

"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."

"With locations throughout Miami (as well as one outpost in Aventura), Pubbelly Sushi is a local favorite in the city since 2011. The restaurant uses fresh ingredients to craft inventive rolls, like the Araña and the Heat, as well as delectable Latin fusion items like tostones con ceviche and Korean bravas (a Spanish potato dish updated with kimchi, cilantro aioli and crispy garlic). Cocktails are strong here and the dessert menu is creative, though we won’t judge if you just go for the traditional mochi ice cream."

"The Pubbelly, located on South Miami Avenue, strives to put a fresh spin on sushi at their foray into Japanese cuisine. Jose Mendin, chef and co-owner, introduces unexpected ingred..."

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

"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."

"The wooden bar and Polynesian inspired rooftop make water a must-visit place to come. Enjoy great nightlife that you usually don’t get in the usual clubs because the soundtrack is fantastic. The stunning ocean view, drinks, and Zen vibes will also let you feel that you are in a spa."

"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."

"Pubbelly is an essential South Beach spot and a great place to sit outside with some cocktails and small plates while you judge the neon paint jobs on passing Ferraris. Sushi takes up the bulk of the menu - just don’t forget to put in an order for the butter krab roll, which is really just an efficient delivery system for warm clarified butter."

"The ideal place to hang out with friends, Pubbelly is known for its rustic pub scene, generous beer list and an Asian-fusion menu loaded with small and large plates designed to share."

"At Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill, they say ‘Kick Back, Eat Well and Stay Awhile,’ and they make it easy for customers to do so. Three distinct culinary hubs: robata grill, hot kitchen and raw bar, unite at Sugarchane, resulting in what Food & Wine Editor-in-Chief Dana Cowin called ‘a greatest hits of delicious dishes.’ Inside, Suragarcane’s signature tropical fans, soaring ceilings, sultry interior bar and dining space create a ‘come one, come all’ attitude loved by both regulars and newcomers."

"The Sugarcane is located between two of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods, the Design District and Wynwood. The Sugarcane is known for its Rum Cocktails. The place has the largest selection of rums and a solid wine list too."

"After shutting down his spot on Sunny Isles, sushi chef Kevin Cory relocated his acclaimed Name to Brickell Key, and he hasn’t missed a beat. While not an inexpensive meal by any means, the tiny, eight-seat Naoe offers one of the best sushi experiences in Miami, always fresh and never disappointing. The meticulous meal rotates daily, with no substitutions permitted, with dishes like stone crab nigiri, fresh uni marinated in salt water, unagi two ways, and a mystery ice cream served at the end of the meal."

"If you want a high-end dining experience that’s fit for A-list celebrities, all you have to do is step through the doors of Naoe. One of Miami’s best-kept secrets, Naoe is the tiniest of the Japanese restaurants that can only hold eight people at a time—no wonder getting a reservation is so tough here!. However, once you finally manage to get a table, you’re in for a culinary experience that’ll stay with you for a lifetime."

"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."

"Kosushi is a many-time Michelin star-rated world-renowned tailor of Brazil-based Japanese cuisine, located in the heart of South Pointe. Ingredients are handpicked by head chef George Koshoji who has extensive experience in multicultural Japanese cuisine, which highlights the focus of the eatery. Koshoji has honed his collective wisdom to bring South Beach an expertly refined exposure of Sao Paolo’s flavor."

"Internationally acclaimed sushi spot Kosushi has made its way to South of Fifth. The Brazil-based concept has brought with it a number of appetizing options for diners. These options include king crab truffle, salmon aji Amarillo with caviar, and wagyu gyoza."

"James Beard Foundation Award-winner Michael Schwartz is one of Miami’s most-coveted chefs. Whatever he touches turns delicious, including pizza at Harry’s Pizzeria, farm-to-table gastropub fare on a cruise ship, sushi, breakfast food and plenty of other concepts, including his beloved namesake, Michael’s Genuine. Set within the SLS Brickell, Schwartz’s Fi’lia specializes in vivacious Italian, including pies, house-made pastas, comforting mains (think: chicken parm and wood-grilled leg of lamb) as well as a tableside Caesar for which servers grill fresh bread for croutons."

"Many tourists mark this restaurant as the best Italian restaurant in Miami, and for good reason. Fi’lia invites its visitors to taste authentic Italian pizza from a wood-fired oven or pamper themselves with stracciatella with truffle honey. You will plunge into a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, and the friendly staff will help you choose a dish based on your preferences."

"Italians are known for their stellar wood-fired pizzas, and Fi’lia is no exception. Starters like the stracciatella with truffle honey or the meatballs with whipped ricotta are great to open the appetite. Pies like spicy soppressatta or cauliflower and fontina cheese are hits, or opt for spaghetti carbonara or the wood-grilled sirloin skirt steak."

"If you’re really looking to spice it up, Yardie’s your target. With Jamaican and Haitian delicacies to choose from, jerk chicken is just the beginning. We recommend you try the goat curry."

"Looking for some local small restaurants, this place came up on my search. They are open until 8pm but don't wait too long to…”more"

"Cushioned in couture, Politan Row (formerly known as St. Roch Market) is the Design District’s answer to traditional retail dining. From a vegan bakery to a fried chicken stand, this laid-back emporium holds space for an eclectic group of food entrepreneurs to show off their knife skills."
