An elevated dining experience where every staff member involved is always anticipating your needs - the service was truly phenomenal. The toro and scallop were two of my favorite pieces but they were all incredible, and at $175 for 17 courses it’s truly the best value and quality of sushi.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this sushi restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The sushi was the best I’ve ever had in my life – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was exceptional, with personalized attention that made the evening even more special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an outstanding sushi experience.

Absolutely excellent experience, the fish were superb and we truly enjoyed interacting with the chefs. So many amazing combinations of temperature, texture and taste. While i did read the low reviews before going i did notice that the sake options and extra pieces of fish that were offered did not mention exactly how much the extra options were. Most of the best restaurants always provide the price right after they present an options that’s not on the menu. It’ll save your guest the surprise of the bill later or the awkwardness of having to ask in-front of other people. I think it shows considerations for peoples circumstances and the respect for them to chose what they want 🙃

I want to say that the food was really good and fresh. The quality of the food was also very good. The service was perfect, not too pushy! The price was good for the amount and taste of the food and I call BS on the other reviews about the price. You pay for what you consume. The prices of the alcohol drinks are literaly in front of you. Simple, but exquisite! We will come back to try another menu. Note: I did not like the chairs very uncomfortable and at the end your hands smell like fish, they should add a towel for the end.

What an experience! Amazing food, sake, service, and atmosphere. The chefs were amazing and created 17 expertly made pieces of sushi to go with our sake flights. Even the pickles to cleanse your pallet in between the courses were amazing. Go experience this for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Everything was absolutely great. The greeting was great, the chefs were amazing and the food was phenomenal. Definitely recommend

Visited yesterday for a date night with Madame and thought it was a great dining experience. It is definitely a fine dining omakase experience and not just a sushi joint, and for these type of experiences you pay more, because of the quality of staff, the sourcing of the food and alcohol and general ambiance. The food was prepared very delicately and out of the 17 courses there were definitely some better than others. The most unique and delicious pieces for me personally were the escolar (Korea) fish and the wild big glory bay (NZ) salmon, the madai was spectacular as well. I am more of a purist when it comes to omakase (ie: just a brush of soy), sushi for scratch gets creative with their ingredients, some interesting (beetroot) others more difficult for me (mixing soy and ponzu). The bar tender (she was definitely sommelier level) was very knowledgeable as well, she made a great sake recommendation. Overall i would highly recommend, expect to pay $250-400 pp with alcohol, service and tax. Totally worth the experience.

Amazing experience in Miami. The staff is impressionable and friendly, the small seating provides an intimate but inviting space to have dinner with loved ones and new friends.

Absolutely loved the experience here. I’ve been to all the omakase spots in Miami and this one is definitely a stand out. The food is creative and it’s a non-traditional experience which I appreciated. Staff was friendly, service was great. Highly recommend.

One of the best omakase experiences I’ve had. Fish was fresh and the flavors were unique. The chef was friendly as was the staff and a very unique environment. Just very very expensive.

A must try for any true Omakase lover. The menu is 100% nigiri and excellent from start to finish. The staff is friendly and attentive. I would return in a heartbeat.

Top quality sushi, amazing service , great time and fair price. Will definitely be back.

Sushi was bomb - comparable to any NYC or SF spot. I would recommend they say that the extra roll at the end is $25 given all the other rolls are $11. Being transparent about pricing will help people make an informed decision and avoid the “bait and switch” feel.

This place is unreal. The service was great from everyone Kevin, Jason and Brian. I will definitely be coming back here !!

World class omakase. Very unique. Incredible selection of Japanese fish prepared in creative ways. Friendly and skilled chefs. So glad miami now has something of this caliber. Had a beautiful anniversary dinner. Thank you.

Everything was delicious and the chefs are great!

Amazing experience. Really great sushi!

Super interesting omakase spot with unexpected flavor combinations and excellent atmosphere. Very accommodating for dietary restrictions and friendly service. Definitely recommend!

Really wonderful Omakase with some wildly wonderful dishes. The negative reviews are clearly uneducated and inexperienced with Omakase. Ignore them. Pricing is very fair and above board. Staff is excellent.

This was amazing ! I visited on a Monday February 13th at 9:30pm and wow the sushi was by far the best I’ve ever tried. Chef Kevin was amazing with the food and customer service. I will definitely be back !

Friendly staff, good pace on the food, & good flavors. 3rd scratch I’ve been to, all have been great.

the most amazing experience. brought my son who goes to you, Miami and it was even better than we expected.

We had an extraordinary meal here last night. The food was excellent. Many ingredients and sushi that I knew but put together in different and interesting ways. I like a place that tries new combinations between sushi, flavorings and drinks. I don’t have to love everything, as I want to experiment and learn. Of course, when they find that magical combination. The drink pairings were lovely. My wife had the sake flight, and I did the sake and cocktails paring. The cocktails were delightful – hard to beat lime and ginger as flavors. What made the evening, beyond the food was the three taking care of us. Sometimes you go to dinner to talk with just your friends. We were early and so the restaurant was not crowded, and we got a lot of attention and education from everyone. A truly delightful meal. Definitely a top 10 over all the years.

Best dining experience I’ve had in Miami, bar none. Incredible omakase and exploratory whiskey pairing was only only outdone by the incredible chefs that night. Go soon and go often.

A once in a lifetime experience. From the moment you walk in, the hostess make you feel welcome and was very attentive. The chef’s and bartender in the Omakase room were extremely knowledgeable, fun, professional, and great entertainers. The food.. the food was amazing, fresh, simple yet amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for this experience in Miami. Definitely would go again.

Daniel, zoey, Kevin and Claudia they deserve more than 5 stars. I’ve been in so many restaurants in the world, but the hospitality of this team was so professional and charming. I had the best omakase experience ever! Incredible hospitality, exquisite flavors, and an unforgettable dining journey. Can’t wait to come back!

One of the most incredible dining experiences I’ve had by far. Everything was delicious. The setting was perfectly intimate. Loved the ability to chat with the amazing chefs who were warm and friendly. And yet, it still felt like a boujee elegant night. Worth every penny.

If you’re looking for the best Omakase experience, Sushi by Scratch is an absolute must-visit! Kevin, Carlos, Ana, and Zoey went above and beyond to make the evening unforgettable. From start to finish, they were super attentive, ensuring every moment felt personalized and special. The attention to detail in each dish was incredible, and the flavors were out of this world. But what truly set this experience apart was the warm, homey vibe they created. It felt less like dining out and more like being welcomed into someone’s home for an extraordinary meal. This wasn’t just a dinner—it was an experience, and one I’ll be raving about for a long time. Huge thanks to the team for such an amazing night. I can’t wait to return! thank you again.

Brian the bartender, king of the bar, Knows your drink order before you’re too far. A wink, a shake, a clink of the glass, He serves you your troubles, then kicks them to pass. He’s part-time therapist, full-time charmer, Laugh so smooth, you don’t need armor. Knows when to talk, when to let you brood, And somehow remembers everyone’s mood. He’s got stories that twist, pour, and bend, But he’ll swear, “I’m just here to tend.” Yet everyone knows when Brian’s around— The best kind of spirits aren’t just in the brown.

Excellent service and the sushi was delicious. We had a great experience

Great experience. I was very surprised by the quality of food and the expertise of the chef.

My husband and I recently enjoyed an outstanding omakase experience at Sushi by Scratch. The team—Carlos, Victor, Chris, and Kevin—provided exceptional service and crafted an unforgettable meal. Each dish was a perfect blend of fresh ingredients and artistic presentation, creating a delightful culinary journey. The intimate setting and personal interactions with the chefs made our evening even more special. The bartending was top-notch, with expertly paired drinks enhancing the flavors of the dishes. We highly recommend Sushi by Scratch for an exceptional dining experience. We can't wait to return!

Amazing experience, food and people! Love that it’s very engaging and not just us sitting there and watching food being cooked like other omakase restaurants

The epitome of an American omakase, intimate, inventive, and honestly, it doesn’t get much better than this... a guaranteed impression

WOW! What an experience from start to finish! Sushi by Scratch is truly AMAZING! The Omakase is expertly crafted and executed by top tier chefs. Each bite is exquisite and unique. To get some sushi you've never could have of imagined, you must visit! The spice that is on Shimi Aji...incredible!

Exquisite experience! The omakase experience is a 17-course tasting menu with some of the finest fish and meat from across the globe. The quality of the food was SUPERB, and the added beverage pairing was a treat. Come for the experience of the taste, not to fill up on a meal. It was costly, but worth every penny to my wife and me. We love tasting menu experiences, and this introduced us to subtleties and combinations we have never had before! (Special shoutout to Chef Chris for his professionalism, humor, and willingness to answer our constant questions!)

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an omakase dinner at Sushi by Scratch, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The freshness and taste of the sushi were unparalleled, making every bite a delightful experience for the palate. The chef’s expertise was evident in each meticulously crafted piece, showcasing the high quality and freshness of the ingredients. From the melt-in-your-mouth toro to the perfectly seasoned uni, every dish was a testament to their dedication to perfection. Service was another highlight of the evening. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the culinary journey they were guiding us through. They provided insightful explanations about each course and were more than happy to accommodate any preferences or dietary restrictions. The ambiance of the restaurant was intimate and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Sushi by Scratch truly elevates the omakase experience with its exceptional food and outstanding service.

Chris, Kevin, and Nick were our chefs, and honestly they must be the best sushi chefs in Miami. Even at the end of our meal when they went off menu (costs extra, and only available since we had extra time left) they created some of the most amazing food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. Ana was our bartender, she was warm and inviting, and our experience would not have been complete without her amazing curation of drinks and cocktails to pair with our food. Everything was fantastic and Sushi by Scratch deserves all the accolades and praise they’ve received. Thank you all for a wonderful experience, and we’d love to come back!

What an experience. You need to understand what your paying for to appreciate it. If you’re thinking you’re going to a regular sushi restaurant. You’ll be mistaken. But happily surprised. Consider this more like dinner theater with incredibly sourced fish you will have a hard time tasting anywhere in the world—yet alone all together in the same evening. I went for a date night with my husband. And we both left on cloud nine. It was the best tasting of fish we have ever had. And the experience was amazing. So intimate. We also learned so much about what we were eating. And conversed with some incredible chefs, and the other patrons. We didn’t partake in the additionally priced sake tastings or cocktails, but they also looked incredible. We will happily return.

Amazing dinner and once in a lifetime sushi experience. Highly recommend! I see a lot of low reviews complaining about the cost, but they were super transparent. We had four glasses of wine and they pointed out that a bottle would have cost less so we switched.

Wow. We’ve eaten any many ultra high end omakase restaurants but this place is a gem amongst gems. Really cannot say enough fabulous things about sushi by scratch. The expert preparation, the creativity, the unique atmosphere- what a genuinely special evening. We will be back!

Food was absolutely incredible! Without a doubt the best sushi experience I’ve had by far. Place is definitely pricy but nothing should catch you out of surprise as this is definitely a unique experience. I was initially worried because of the prior comments in regards to the prices but All prices are clearly displayed prior to you ordering anything additional. 100% recommend and would 100% go back!

Excellent quality fish, the bone marrow parts are absolute highlights of the day and the fish used in the nigiri melt in your mouth so it’s definitely worth doing if you don’t care about the money too much, although the whole process is a bit overdone. They use quality ingredients so it tastes yummy as it would if they just served you the raw fish, but if you’re doing a big thing out of the meal in order to charge that much, you should probably teach your head chef how to pronounce the japanese words you’re trying to impress people with and the sous-chef to use the knife

This was a wonderful experience. The staff was very welcoming and the food was incredible. The escolar and mackerel were top notch. I was apprehensive about going after reading the reviews but I can say that the staff were all very transparent about pricing. We were offered additional food at the end of our dinner experience but they were upfront about it being extra $$. I am assuming they have taken the feedback and gone out of their way to ensure there’s no ambiguity about the bill for customers.

This was my first stop for celebrating my 30th birthday. I’ve been wanting to visit for so long and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. Every bite was complex and each flavor shined through. My favorite bites of the night were the Toro, Albacore, and Shima Aji. I only got a few photos and videos because I truly wanted to be present during all of it. The chefs were great to chat with as I had the entire room to myself 😂 this spot is definitely top three for me in Miami and I’ve visited a ton of places here

Great dining experience. The chefs and bartender were all fantastic and the sushi was top notch. As far as pricing, everything was stated to us clearly. As long as you don’t expect to get any extras for free, you won’t have any problems. Would love to go back.

Top 3 Omakase experience for me. I’ve been here twice now and loved it even more the 2nd time. I feel they give you the biggest pieces of sushi out of any omakase I’ve been to and everything is so amazingly fresh. Great place to entertain family & friends from out of town. Will definitely keep returning!

Best omakase in Miami! Highly recommended. The chefs were incredibly friendly and welcoming — and the second time was even better than the first, which says a lot.

This place was phenomenal and I highly recommend for those who appreciate a delicious omakase experience. The fish selection was exquisite & deliciously fresh, the chefs were wonderful to watch, this place should be a 4.9+ rating.

I thought the food and service was excellent. It is pricey but the quality of the fish is top notch. We celebrated my fiance’s 30th birthday here and had a wonderful dining experience.The bone marrow is a showstopper. Thank you to Washington and Havanna for your hospitality! We will absolutely be back.

Worth every penny, even better with the pairings. Chef Julian and Chef Kevin made us feel at home and elevated each bite to perfection. Delicious

As a chef I can easily say this is an outstanding experience, my favorite piece and also a dish I am sure I’ll always remember was foie gras torched and shaved truffles on top , definitely a must try , team was great we are so happy that Christopher explained us every dish and all the sake knowledge of the team was great too . We will be back

In my opinion, currently the best omakase sushi place in Miami. Great job guys! The sushi preparation stories with each piece really adds to the debt of the experience. Highly recommended!

Definitely a must if you want to splurge in a fancy sushi meal! The chef explains every piece they serve in a fun way. I would say it’s worth the high price.

The place is great. Very private and cozy atmosphere, and the food is world-class. Every bite is tasty and like a meal in your mouth. I highly recommend it.

Starting off, we had the whole omakase experience for me and my girlfriend. Basically the restaurant to ourself. This was amazing for the experience. The chef explained everything too us very clearly and nicely. The way he mixed different dressings on the fish…. Waooo so so good! Flavors of different fish from different countries. AMAZED! Totally worth it!! All the bites are written in the wall so you can follow easily the fish and its cuts. My girlfriend didn’t like the bone marrow but that is just a thing of textures for her. I liked EVERYTHING.

Best omakase of Miami by far. Be ready to be amazed. Each nigiri has its own unique twist. Strongly recommend to try it!

I absolutely loved this experience! The food was amazing, the bartender was incredibly knowledgeable, and the overall experience is truly unforgettable. I’m very happy I went, and i’ll definitely return once they open their permanent location in Miami :)

John, Jacob, Jingleheimer, and Schmidt do a fantastic job of creating a flavor experience in a personal setting. They will educate you on what you're eating and drinking while being fun to chat with. Overall it can be as fun or tame as you want it to be. The flavor journey is memorable and the uni in particular is a standout. The only criticism I have is that some of it felt a tad bit corporate in a setting that is otherwise very personal. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion.

Food was pretty good but the chefs aren’t even Chinese 🤷‍♂️. Would go back

We had amazing experience. Chef Carlos was outstanding. We loved the mini bar seating of only 10, it was very intimate and absolutely delicious.

Amazing experience! Very fresh fish. I wish they changed the menu from time to time.

Amazing experience! The entire team was a delight! From the Chef to the sous chefs and the sommelier! Thank you for giving us an unforgettable meal and Making by husband’s birthday so special!

Tomas and Jason, best experience ever. Thank you so much. Recommend Hamachi and Toro!

Miami needed such an amazing Omakaze experience. Quality of the fish is TOP. Setting is perfect. Such an intimate and perfect experience!!

An absolutely incredible omakase experience at Sushi by Scratch. Every single bite was exquisite—thoughtfully crafted, perfectly balanced, and clearly the result of serious attention to detail. You can tell that each course is carefully designed to highlight the ingredients and elevate the flavors in a way that feels both creative and authentic. Chef Jason, Chef Daniel, and Chef David were phenomenal. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They created such a welcoming atmosphere that it truly felt like being invited into their home for dinner. Rachel, who handled the wine and whisky program, was equally amazing. Her pairings and recommendations were spot on and really elevated the entire experience. Between the food, the hospitality, and the overall vibe, Sushi by Scratch delivered an unforgettable night. Easily one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend Follow @hackingthemenu on instagram

Although my wife and I have not yet had the chance to experience Sushi by Scratch, I felt compelled to leave a review because of the exceptional professionalism and kindness shown by their staff. I made a reservation for my wife and myself as a Christmas gift, something I was genuinely looking forward to. Unfortunately, due to my military lifestyle and unexpected deployment-related schedule changes, I had to move the reservation twice and ultimately cancel until I can lock in a more stable schedule. Throughout the entire process, the team was incredibly polite, understanding, and professional. They helped me immediately every time I reached out and went above and beyond by fully refunding my deposit without hesitation. That level of customer service says a lot about the values of this restaurant. I truly appreciate the respect and understanding shown toward my situation, and I’m very much looking forward to finally experiencing Sushi by Scratch with my wife once I’m back and able to plan properly. Based on the service alone, I have no doubt it will be worth the wait.

Can’t imagine it getting any better than this. Sushi by scratch blows all the competition out of the water. Every piece was so intricate and unique. Just when you think you’ve had the best sushi ever, then you try the next piece and it’s even better. Can’t give this place more praise; from the speakeasy entrance, to the interactive staff. Special S/O to Tomas and Jason for making it a great engagement experience for my friend. Will be back!

Toda la experiencia es increíble, explican todo el proceso y cada plato es una experiencia diferente, las personas muy amables.

Primera vez que vivo la experiencia del Omakaze. Fuimos un grupo de personas, nos invitó nuestro jefe. Y la verdad que quedé encantado, fue una experiencia única, su comida, la calidad, el ambiente clandestino. Volvería a ir y lo recomiendo con los ojos cerrados

Explora Miami

100% recomendado, me encantó cada bocado, la calidad de los sabores y los contrastes fueron espectaculares. Los ingredientes se sentían muy frescos y la experiencia en sí un 10/10. Es un lugar muy bueno para darse un gusto, sin duda volveré 🫶🫶🫶 ya quiero volver 🤣🤣

Emiliana Perozo

Acabamos de salir de comer y aún estamos saboreándonos los nigiris. Sin palabras de verdad, que lugar tan espectacular. 100% recomendado y los chefs demasiado atentos y simpáticos. No duden en venir 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Bertha Jimenez

Tuvimos una cena extraordinaria, para recordar. Un nigiri mejor que otro. La atención del Cheff Carlos fue simplemente espectacular haciéndonos sentir en casa y elevando la experiencia a su máximo nivel, buena recomendación de bebidas por su parte y explicándonos todo con amabilidad. Sin duda volveremos!

It was a lovely experience, with super knowledgeable chefs and great quality fish. My only gripe is that several pieces had overly sweet garnishes, that took away from the integrity and flavor of the fish. Otherwise, I really appreciated most pieces- they were thoughtfully curated and I liked the creativity. There was also an option to order pieces after omakase concludes, each chef had a special creation. **management: Chef Daniel (or Danny???) made me a madai piece topped with green apple and other refreshing things that really deserves a spot on your regular menu :)

Don’t drink there makes the value less appealing - it was quirky and fun - chef was kind a jerk - condescending - would recommend trying it but not going back. Still a 4 star experience

Came here for a birthday dinner with friends, and we had an excellent time! It's 17 courses (with the option of adding a la carte items for an additional cost). The food was delicious, the chefs were talented, funny and personable and the vibes were immaculate. Upon arriving, you're treated to a complimentary cocktail in the lobby before being taken to the dining room. Once there, you can pair additional cocktails, sake or wine with your meal. The experience was around 1.5 hours and definitely meant for a special occasion as it is quite pricey. This restaurant is hidden on the side of Nave, so there's street parking nearby. If you're an adventurous eater, this spot is for you!

Their spin on omakase was creative and modern. The experience was cozy, especially the waiting lounge area with a bar with good cocktails outside the main room. However, the interaction and conversations were way too casual for the price point, taking away from the art of the experience of omakase.

My review is a combo of both the 5 starts & the 1 stars. We booked our 5pm reservation about a month prior. When we arrived we were greated by a very kind staff member who provided us with a welcome drink. To say it's a full drink would be a mislabel, it was more of A shot of Japanese whiskey and ginger. Delicious, but definitely nothing to write home about. Once you enter the sushi bar the seats will be labeled and parties grouped together. I did love the intimacy of the small dark room and mingling with just a few guests. The chefs are friendly and knowledgeable . The courses consist of one nigiri (16) and one dessert cube. The quality of the fish is unmatched. However with a dozen omakase opening in Miami they need to be a bit more edgy/competitively priced. Which leads me to my first true negative - the cocktails and beverages over all were wildly over priced. I'm used to Miami cocktails being $16+ but $18 for a 5oz simple cocktail seems insane. Second- we left hungry. 16 nigiris over an hour and a half may seem like a lot of food. But it's definitely not for the price. And on top of that, I feel like they know this bc they continually tried to upsell additional al a carte items , pairings etc. Finally- we left paying $260pp for the omakase and two drinks. And let me reiterate, we left hungry! It's definitely nothing I need to repeat even tho the bites were delicious. For that amount and the overall satisfaction I would recommend either a lesser price point , an additional serving or larger portions. Too many other omakase with the same quality and lower price tag. This was a definite one and done for me.

Not a fan of the whole experience. Was told about it through the big hype ! Joe Rogan ... we decided to book it, we were 2 couples , 165$ pp 17 Courses ( 17 sushi ). Ended up with a 800$ check for me and my gf. Wasn't happy as we tough everything was included. at the end of the course we did add 2 sushi each and still as a chef surprise :) ( so four sushi ). We ask to have the bill to understand the check and we were told we were going to receive it by TXT. we did receive the invoice by TXT 20 minutes later and that was the itemized bill : 2 sushi menu 330$ ( 17 sushi each ) sake pair 110$ 4 sushi cocktail 96$ <--- WT..... ( yes ... 4 pieces ... ) 2 norm OPEN BITE 20$ <-- no clue we didn't have that 2 norm OPEN BITE 30$ <-- no clue we didn't have that 20% service charge - 50$ depot +TX Total : 759.45 The Chef wasn't even there, we had a Chef that was trained by HIM, and while we were there we could clearly see him training the people serving us. If your in the area save yourself time and try ETARU or KAIZEN for some real exotic sushi experience worth the money and experience !!! They get 3 start just for the lady that was welcoming us in the waiting room.

Overall 7 out of 10 based on other omakasi experiences. Biggest issue, they overdue it. The rice is mushy, and wet. Wet rice kills good omakasi. The plate they keep putting the fish on is always wet and they do not clean it. I had to constantly wipe it myself. The initial towel they give you is the same you use the whole night. Really? They try to oversell extras all night. This is just a money grab and show to sell sell sell. I Left paying $600 for a couple and only had 2 drinks. And 20% default tip. 😖

We really enjoyed the the experience but the second time we visited was not as good as the first time.

+6

The food quality was good, especially compared to the usual bland high- end cuisine in Miami. The staff was friendly, or at least tried to, but I was freezing throughout the meal. I mentioned it early on, also few times during the dinner and they raised the temp to only 71F and to 72F at the end when I was walking out of the dining area sneezing non- stop! My husband forgot his sweater and has a cold today too. The space is designed for 10- 11 people, but with just 4 of us, it felt extremely cold. Unfortunately, I just wanted to leave and warm up outside, so the overall experience wasn´t great.

Cool experience. However, I think it’s important for many to know that you’ll leave dinner with a bill over $800 for 2 people. My husband and I were not aware due to the lack of communication from of what’s included or not. We had the same experience as the couple below discussing the price break down. We felt as if the staff was very sneaky about explaining the prices and details of the experience. My husband and I love good food and a great experience but definitely not for $800+ Definitely not worth it.

VERY overpriced. The omakase experience was exciting, intimate and different. The quality of fish and meat served was great but the price you are assaulted with at the end ruins the experience. In my opinion, I do not feel the pricing was fair. 20 bites of food for $800 for a couple. We asked for the sake pairing. 6 small shots of sake throughout the experience. Ontop of that, I don’t feel the chef shared enough knowledge and history with us regarding the dishes, other than telling us the ingredients and how he plated it for us to try. I am a chef myself and I feel I had to ask a lot of questions in order to learn more about the dish as opposed to the chef giving us a bit more info. For a food experience in Miami, I feel like I could’ve enjoyed a similar experience at other more fairly priced omakase establishments and left more satisfied for half the price.

Went a few months ago my boyfriend had booked this for me visiting from Ireland and wanted to leave an honest review… like many other things in Miami it is completely overhyped. And extremely overpriced, especially for the drinks. They torched nearly every piece of sushi which imo kind of defeats the purpose… like sushi is meant to be raw and I understand torching a few as it tasted nice, but it was almost every piece. If you get really good quality fish with good accompaniment it shouldn’t need this. Was also just pieces of sushi… no soups or dishes of any other sort. If you’re going to spend this amount of money try go to hidden, better sushi, more passionate chefs who don’t spend the whole time talking and let the food speak for itself. Also they had dishes other than just pieces of sushi and they don’t make you eat fish balls. The dessert was the best part here of the meal that his wife makes…

Good service, however, for the price they should create different menus at least 1x week. Everything is more like a sales pitch to upgrade and you end up paying about $400 per person for sushi you can pretty much get anywhere. Their sake and whiskey packages which was a huge financial upgrade (over $100 per person) they should keep if flowing as you only get a tiny shot. Would’ve been a great experience if they make a few changes. I have no problem paying for this as long as you’re truly getting what you pay for, and this wasn’t it for us.

I regret to express that the dining experience did not come close to the authentic omakase standard. Regrettably, the chefs do not possess original Japanese training, and some have not even had the opportunity to visit Japan. Regrettably, the profound essence of the experience was absent on this occasion. It appeared to be a highly commercialized presentation, with the entire team primarily focused on maximizing sales. The sake pairing left much to be desired, as it nearly overshadowed the flavors of the dishes served. In summary, while the cuisine's quality met a certain standard due to the chefs' efforts, it was severely marred by its exorbitant pricing and a noticeable lack of style.

The food was great, but the sushi chef on our side of the table was a sad, angry dude. You expect top quality service when you pay $600+. The other two chefs clearly didn't like the guy either lol. Anyways, I'd go somewhere else.

This place is a scam. They say its $165 per person. The bill comes and its $450 per person?! Also, want to add towards the end of dinner-the chef enthusiastically says, “we have a few left overs if you would like to try.” So you think ok nice guy giving us something complimentary. No- it was $25 per roll (one bite). Save your time and money.

They advertised $165 a person and we somehow left paying $410 a person ($820 per couple), feeling scammed. Perhaps set expectations by displaying pricing and don’t leave guests feeling cheated and disappointed. Plenty of better restaurants in Miami for $410 per person.

This place is wildly overpriced and they don’t tell you the extra pieces are damn near $25 per roll extra and the sake tasting will cost you a first born. Got from advertised 165 to over 400 per person. definitely not worth that much.

Hate to even leave this but facts are facts.. they are priced incorrectly. As a man of business.. you can’t advertised $165 a person and somehow leave paying $400 a person, feeling scammed. Left feeling cheated and disappointed. Not to sound snobby, but I’ve eaten at a lot Michelin restaurants around the world and this was amongst the most expensive for the experience.

Not worth it. All the reviews are accurate. Quality of ingredients is good but they make it seem like you’re spending $165 per person and then Leave paying $400 per person. It’s not a problem if they just advertise it that way.They don’t care because people keep going… the “sake” tasting is terrible for the $110 you’re paying. This is the worst omakase in all of Miami by a long shot.

Went for the last seating, they made it seem as if we are lucky but it really just means that we were the group that gets hustled. Other Omakase's we have been to offer a few extra pieces at the end of dinner as a treat. The offered it here as well but did not mention it was $25 a piece! They even have you pay outside the venue separately from everyone else so that no one else can hear you complain. Plenty of better restaurants you can eat at in Miami for $400 per person. They also misrepresent the drinking pairing. I don't think they understand the Miami crowd, people here don't mind spending the money, but they do mind the bait and switch.

Honestly one of the worst sushi experiences I’ve had. Every piece was drowned in sauce and random garnishes — felt like they were trying to cover up bad or old fish. I don’t remember a single bite being actually good. The chef didn’t crack a smile the whole time and the vibe was super off, like she didn’t even want to be there. Just not it, especially for the price. wouldn’t recommend.
