Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in South Miami Heights

"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 of Fifth. Azabu is for the discerning diner. The one who prefers their fish be flown straight from Japan and likes rice cooked in specialty equipment calibrated to the Miami heat and humidity."

"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."

"The scene inside Pubbelly Sushi's buzzing dining room is hip and casual, and there's outdoor seating as well. The perfect order includes the bigeye tuna roll on a crispy, sticky rice cake with truffle oil, the snow crab roll with clarified butter, wagyu beef tartare roll, rock shrimp tempura and shishito peppers. Think of it as deconstructed sushi because the rolls don't resemble anything you've seen before."

"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..."

"Excellent sushi, pan-Asian small plates and intriguing Asian-Latin fusion fare, all ideal for sharing, is the specialty of Pubbelly Sushi. The local chain, a collaboration between ..."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Run by Sergio Navarro and Jose Mendin – a James Beard Award nominee – Pubbelly Noodle Bar caters to pork lovers. At this Bayshore hotspot, bao buns are jammed with suckling pig, dumplings swell with pork belly and slabs of barbecue pork float in bowls of ramen. The space is polished and modern, filled with conversation and music."

"Satisfy those sushi cravings with Pubbelly Sushi’s creative rolls. Order up its popular butter krab roll or sashimi platters and get 10 percent off your order using code PUBBELLYLOVE. Plus, save the receipt and get a bartender’s choice cocktail when it reopens."

"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."

"Sugar Cane Raw Bar Grill is a garden of gastronomic delights. It is run by a renowned chef who has worked with famous faces, such as Emeril. Guests can enjoy meals such as sushi rolls, tapas, salads, oysters and other shellfish, and food prepared on the robata grill."

"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."

"This edgy Miami Beach restaurant is oozing with a cool and mysterious feel (maybe because the space used to be an auto garage). Whatever you do, don’t miss the fried rice stone pot, the tuna chicharrón roll, the toro sesame leaf taco and the chirashi, a gorgeous rainbow bowl of the Garage’s freshest fish of the day. 1784 West Ave., Miami Beach; 305-763-8355 orsushigarage.com"

"Restaurants Japanese South Beach. Sushi Garage’s gastronomic merits aren’t threatened by its cool, SoHo-meets-South-Beach vibe. In fact, the packs of models, tourists and other too-cool-types you’ll find here on any given night only add to its appeal."

"In terms of setting and ambiance, this is perhaps the edgiest restaurant on this list. Located in Miami Beach, Sushi Garage oozes with cool and mysterious vibes. That’s perhaps because the space was formerly an auto workshop."

"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."

"Try the Yellowtail Sashimi Seviche with ginger, garlic and soy, or a tiradito such as Tuna with lemon and fuji apple vinaigrette. Also from the sushi bar … […]"

"Think upscale hawker hall-meets-speakeasy and you have Miami’s first Asian-themed marketplace, 1-800-LUCKY. One of seven stalls sitting behind a record shop, Lotus + Cleaver serves some of the best Asian cheap eats in Miami, including Chinese barbecue and wok classics. The specialty here is Peking duck (which you can see hanging from the ceiling above the stand), so you can’t go wrong with any of the steamed bun options, particularly the duck buns decadently topped with foie gras."

"A post shared by Miami Food Porn (@miami_foodporn) on Jul 23, 2018 at 7:07pm PDT. Lotus + Cleaver takes on a modern twist to Chinese cuisine, particularly Chinese barbecue. Their lead dishes include the char siu pork shoulder, roast chicken with ginger scallion sauce, pork belly buns, and fire-roasted Peking duck."

"A post shared by 3 Chefs @ Brickell (@3chefsmiami) on Oct 17, 2015 at 1:30pm PDT. With several branches in Miami, 3 Chefs is a great option for those craving for some Asian food. Not only do they serve Chinese cuisine, but they also offer Vietnamese dishes as well."

"Hakkasan, located in the enormous Fontainbleau, has a breathtaking decor, walls carved out with oriental design and a waterfall at the bar. The menu is inspired by Chef Loo and includes small dishes with duck, noodle platters with homemade sauces, and an array of seafood, meat, and vegetarian entrees. The restaurant also offers an extensive wine and cocktail menu, perfect for the lounge atmosphere and relaxing for post-dinner drinks."

"With an aesthetic that feels more like a spa than a restaurant, Hakkasan delivers as much atmosphere as it does Cantonese cuisine. Chilean sea bass, crispy duck salad, and the dim sum lunch top the requisites list along with the Kowloon Cooler mocktail — prepared with berries, juice, lychee, and lemon-lime soda. Available for dine-in or takeout."

"A classy showcase for contemporary Chinese cuisine, Hakkasan delivers incredible Cantonese fare in chic nightclub-like surroundings that will make you want to stay until the early hours."
