The 12 Best Sushi Restaurants in Miami (From Casual Rolls to Full Omakase Vibes)
Miami might be known for its Cuban sandwiches and stone crab claws—but when it comes to sushi, we’ve quietly built one of the most exciting scenes in the country. Whether you're craving a quick spicy tuna roll or planning a luxe omakase night with your girls (or a date), this list has you covered.
These are our top 12 Brickell Babes-approved sushi spots—ranging from lowkey neighborhood gems to reservation-only counters tucked behind taco shops. Let’s roll.
1. Omakai – Wynwood & Coconut Grove
Modern, minimal, and made for sushi lovers of all levels. Omakai offers pre-set omakase menus that are both approachable and delicious. Think high-quality fish, smooth sake, and a chill setting that doesn’t feel try-hard.
📍 @omakaisushi
2. Momi Market – Brickell
No frills, all flavor. Run by Michelin-starred Chef Takashi Terashima, Momi Market is a hidden gem for sushi purists. The focus here is craftsmanship, technique, and the freshest fish flown in daily.
📍 @momimarketmiami
3. Makoto – Bal Harbour Shops
A polished, upscale classic. Makoto delivers luxury on every plate with elegant Edomae-style sushi, robata skewers, and a sleek atmosphere that screams Palm Beach-meets-Tokyo.
📍 @makotobalharbour
4. Katana – North Bay Village
Old-school Miami charm meets conveyor belt sushi. Katana is casual, nostalgic, and perfect for nights when you just want fun rolls, cold beer, and good company—no reservations, no rules.
📍 @katana_mb
5. Ahi Sushi – Downtown
One of those spots you want to gatekeep but can't. Ahi Sushi has the vibe of your neighborhood go-to, with top-tier freshness, traditional nigiri, and that rare feeling of being a local.
📍 @ahisushimiami
6. Shingo – Coral Gables
Led by Chef Shingo Akikuni (formerly of Hiden), this Michelin-starred omakase counter is all about precision. With just 14 seats, seasonal fish flown in from Japan, and flawless presentation, this is an intimate sushi experience worth booking in advance.
📍 @shingomiami
7. Hiyakawa – Wynwood
If sushi was a luxury fashion brand, this is where it would live. Hiyakawa is a design-forward, architecturally stunning space with equally refined omakase menus. Every dish is a masterpiece.
📍 @hiyakawamiami
8. Uchi Miami – Wynwood
Playful, bold, and always creative—Uchi brings a fusion-forward edge to Miami’s sushi scene. Expect wagyu nigiri, unexpected flavor pairings, and a super vibey crowd.
📍 @uchirestaurants
9. Sushi by Scratch – Coconut Grove
A moody, speakeasy-style sushi experience with serious flair. Every night includes 17 unexpected courses, smoky flavors, and a theatrical chef-led tasting that’s anything but boring.
📍 @sushibyscratchrestaurants
10. Hiden – Wynwood
Secret door. Eight seats. Premium everything. Hiden is a bucket list omakase experience for sushi connoisseurs. Reservations are hard to get, but totally worth it for the perfection on each plate.
📍 @hidenmiami
11. Yoso Sushi – Upper Buena Vista
Started as a food truck, now it’s one of the most beloved omakase spots in town. Cozy, creative, and kind of addicting, Yoso is where you go when you want top-quality sushi in a more casual, personal setting.
📍 @yoso_sushi
12. Sushi Bichi – North Beach
Colorful, casual, and steps from the beach. Sushi Bichi is where you post up for fun fusion rolls and breezy open-air seating. Great for girls’ night, first dates, or just catching sunset with sake.
📍 @sushibichi
