Best Japanese Restaurants in Miami

With Miami鈥檚 proximity to the water, there鈥檚 no question that Miami has access to some of the freshest fish in town. This very reason is why they make some of the best freshest sushi around.

There is no wonder why so many visitors and locals have dived into Asian cuisine. Here are the ten best spots to get that sushi fix, traditional izakaya-style experience and delve into Japanese food.

1. Naoe

Sushi chef Kevin Cory relocated his acclaimed Naoe restaurant to Brickell Key. The tiny, eight-seat Naoe offers one of the best sushi experiences in Miami. While not an inexpensive menu, Naoe offers amazing selections of Japanese food at its best.

The meticulous meal rotates daily (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.  Moreover, their drink selections include sake from Cory鈥檚 family brewery in their Japanese hometown.

2. Uchi

Located in the heart of Wynwood, Uchi features creative sushi and sashimi made with fish flown in daily from the Tsukiji market.  It also has makimono, yakimono, mono, and other Japanese dishes in a chic and serene atmosphere.

For the adventurous folk who want to give the entire menu a try can opt for the 10-course chef鈥檚 tasting. Furthermore, there is also a six-course signature tasting, and a six-course vegetarian tasting.

3. Sushi Erika

Operated by the daughter of Sushi Deli鈥檚 owner Michio Kushi, Erika Kushi, it features a warm setting. Those missing their Sushi Deli and Japanese Market fix can  get a taste of both at Sushi Erika.  It offers a similar feel and menu as its predecessor housing just four tables and a small no-frills sushi bar.

Some of the favorites from Sushi Deli are like the sweet shrimp, macadamia, and love rolls. Their well-priced sashimi options are a hit with customers while newcomers like octopus salad also are found.

4. Akashi Japanese Restaurant (Multiple locations)

Established in 1993, this restaurant was started by Larry Chi and wife Barbara which at the time they started were the youngest sushi bar in town. This classic Japanese spot offers rolls, sushi, and sides that have kept the crowds coming back for more than 20 years.

With their well-priced menu, they have something for everyone. From the classics like a Dragon Roll and fried pork gyoza to rolls like the Mermaid Roll filled with spicy tuna, avocado, and cucumber. Their diverse menu makes it a popular spot for people of all ages.
