BEST UDON I’VE EVER HAD!! The noodle texture is perfect and the soup is delicious. We also had uni and sashimi. The leaf (i believe is mint?) combine with uni is so refreshing, and easy to eat. Uni and beef udon is a MUST!!

My wife and I work on cruise ships so we were here the day before leaving and wanted sushi. This place was nearby and looked to fit the bill. It's a cute little plant with low ceilings and lots of customers, great energy and relaxed vibe. We were sat quickly and I ordered a hot sake. It came out steaming quickly. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share. Miso soup, ginger salad, tuna tartar, and salmon, tuna, and hamachi sashimi with a side of rice. Considering the amount of small plates we ordered, the pacing was perfect. A new dish came out each time we were finished with a previous one at the perfect time! The miso and salad came first. The miso was nice and hot, with soft cubes of tofu. Excellent! The salad was very fresh and crispy, and the dressing was so good you wanted to eat it plain! Next the edamame came. It has just the right amount of Kosher salt and was piping hot. The tuna tartar followed, and at first I was a little recalcitrant at first because I'm used to bigger pieces of the tuna, but this was almost like the consistency of the inside of a spicy tuna roll. It was awesome! Just a little bit of heat, and it was a very big helping! It came with crunchy cucumbers which when dipped in a little soy were the perfect instrument to pick up the tuna. Finally the part we most looked forward to, the fish! The salmon was absolutely incredible, soft, no fishiness, great texture, melted like butter in your mouth. The hamachi was equally good, with a little more but pleasant fish umami. It was especially good with lemon squeezed on it! The tuna was probably our least favorite, it was a little gel like, and didn't really have much flavor. That was the only thing we didn't finish. As an aside, the rice was also amazing, it has just s pinch of vinegar and I made a couple pieces of nigiri with it. We will be coming here before every cruise from now on!

Hidden gem! Great food, artistically prepared and served. Highly recommend.

Have been coming here for 30 years. It is a staple of quality for sushi in Miami. My favorite dish is the tempura lobster. Good sake collection.

100% recommended! This is definitely one of the best Sushi restaurant places we have visited. They have a great variety of dishes and flavors, there is something for everyone. We were a big party (adults and kids) and we all loved it

Staff is very friendly. The place is a hidden gem. Such a great environment. Food is great. This place is good quiet and friendly. Great for the family or a date night. I thought parking was bad but at the back and the side they have parking.
