1. NAOE
A five-seat counter on Brickell Key, the smallest fine-dining room in the city and among the smallest in the country. Chef Kevin Cory cooks a seasonal Japanese tasting with no substitutions and no menu, using soy sauce and sake from his family's breweries in Japan. One seating a night, three hours, reservations released well in advance. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 5pm to 9pm.
✅ Best for: the ultimate omakase splurge · 📍 661 Brickell Key Dr, Brickell Key
2. Shingo
A Michelin-starred omakase counter in Coral Gables, where chef Shingo Akikuni works in front of a small room of guests. Pristine fish, minimal decoration and service paced so nothing arrives before you are ready. Book early, expect a set price in the mid hundreds, and note the service charge added to the bill. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 5:30pm to 11pm.
✅ Best for: Michelin omakase in Coral Gables · 📍 112 Alhambra Cir., Coral Gables
3. Ogawa
A Michelin-starred 12-seat counter in Little River with two seatings a night. The omakase opens with kaiseki-style cooked courses before moving to sushi, which makes it a longer and more varied meal than a pure nigiri counter. Reserve the later seating if you prefer an unhurried pace. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 6pm to 9:30pm.
✅ Best for: a kaiseki-style omakase · 📍 7223 N.W. 2nd Ave., Little River
4. Hiden
A Michelin-starred, eight-seat omakase concealed behind a Wynwood taco shop, entered with a door code sent when you book. One of the hardest tables in Miami to get, with a single nightly seating and a menu that changes with what arrives from Japan. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 6pm to 9pm.
✅ Best for: a hidden omakase · 📍 313 N.W. 25th St., Wynwood
5. Hiyakawa
A serene Wynwood omakase and sushi bar from the Zuma team, with fish flown in from Japan and a sake list worth reading properly. Take the counter for the full omakase or the dining room for an à la carte version at a lower price. On the pricier side. Open daily except Monday and Tuesday, 6pm to 9:30pm.
✅ Best for: a refined Wynwood omakase · 📍 2700 N Miami Ave., Wynwood
6. The Den at Azabu
A hidden room inside Azabu Miami Beach in South of Fifth, reached through the restaurant, serving a tiered Edomae omakase at a horseshoe counter. The entry-level menu is one of the gentler introductions to serious sushi in the city, and the room is small enough that the chef talks you through each piece. A splurge.
✅ Best for: a speakeasy omakase · 📍 Marriott Stanton South Beach, South of Fifth
7. MILA Omakase
An intimate omakase counter above MILA on Lincoln Road. The kitchen brings Mediterranean touches to Japanese technique, which sets it apart from the traditionalists, and the dining room downstairs runs later if you want to stay on. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 7pm to 11:30pm.
✅ Best for: an award-winning omakase · 📍 800 Lincoln Rd, South Beach
8. Elyu Omakase
A 12-seat Coral Gables counter blending Japanese technique with Filipino flavours, changing with the season. A different proposition from the Edomae purists, and one of the better-value serious omakase seats in the city. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 6pm to 11:30pm.
✅ Best for: a Japanese-Filipino omakase · 📍 2626 Ponce de Leon, Coral Gables
9. Karyu
Miami's first wagyu kaiseki counter, in the Design District, built around premium Japanese beef with sushi courses woven through. Book the counter rather than a table so you can watch the grill work. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Tuesday, 6pm to 10pm.
✅ Best for: a wagyu tasting · 📍 40 NE 41st St, Design District
10. Queen
An opulent South Beach Japanese restaurant and lounge in the restored Paris Theater, with a hidden omakase room upstairs led by chef Max Kamakura. Downstairs is a scene with a DJ; upstairs is quiet and seats a handful of guests. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, opening as early as 6pm and closing as late as 2am on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: omakase with a show · 📍 550 Washington Ave, South Beach
11. Omakai
Omakai serves a nine-course omakase at a fraction of the price of the Michelin counters. Walk-ins are possible, with locations in Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Doral and Aventura. On the pricier side. Open daily, opening as early as noon and closing as late as 11:30pm on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: affordable omakase · 📍 2107 NW 2nd Ave, Wynwood
12. Sushi Yasu Tanaka
A counter inside the Design District's MIA Market food hall, run by a chef who previously led the kitchen at Azabu. The setting is casual and the omakase is priced well below what the pedigree suggests, which makes it one of the city's best-value seats. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as noon and closing as late as 9pm on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: value omakase · 📍 140 N.E. 39th St., Design District
13. Mr. Omakase
A small Downtown counter offering two omakase lengths, both priced for a weeknight rather than an occasion. Service is quick by omakase standards, so it works before an event. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Sunday, 4pm to 10pm.
✅ Best for: value omakase Downtown · 📍 163 SE 1st St, Downtown
14. Sushi | Bar
An intimate South Beach counter that runs its omakase as a show, opening with a welcome cocktail and moving through around 17 courses. More theatrical and more social than the silent counters, and it books out on weekends. A splurge. Open daily except Monday and Tuesday, 5pm to 10pm.
✅ Best for: a fun, intimate omakase · 📍 1438 Washington Ave, South Beach
15. Aiko & Mumu
A relaxed Doral sushi bar whose chef's selection omakase is regularly called the best value in the area. Neighbourhood prices, no dress code, and an automatic service charge on the bill. Moderately priced. Open Thursday to Sunday, opening as early as 11:30am and closing as late as 10:30pm on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: omakase in Doral · 📍 3655 NW 107th Ave #104, Doral
16. Uchi
The Wynwood outpost of the Texas restaurant group, known for creative combinations rather than strict tradition. The Sake Social happy hour and the lunch prix fixe are the cheapest ways into a kitchen that usually is not. Open daily, noon to 11pm.
✅ Best for: creative sushi · 📍 252 NW 25th St, Wynwood
17. Zuma
A sleek Japanese restaurant on the river downtown, with a robata grill, a sushi counter and a terrace over the water. The weekend brunch with free-flowing drinks is as well known as dinner, and both book well ahead. A splurge. Open daily, opening as early as 11:30am and closing as late as 11:30pm on Thursday to Saturday.
✅ Best for: a waterfront scene · 📍 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Downtown
18. Makoto
A long-running Japanese restaurant at Bal Harbour Shops from chef Makoto Okuwa, pairing a robata grill with the sushi counter and a terrace for lunch between shops. Polished, consistent, and busiest at lunch. A splurge. Open daily, 11:30am to 11pm.
✅ Best for: sushi after shopping · 📍 9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour
19. Sexy Fish
A Brickell restaurant and bar filled with Damien Hirst works and Frank Gehry fish lamps, serving sushi, sashimi and robata alongside one of the largest Japanese whisky collections anywhere. The room and the scene are as much the draw as the food. A splurge. Open daily, opening as early as 11:30am and closing as late as 2am on Thursday to Saturday.
✅ Best for: a big night out · 📍 1001 S Miami Ave, Brickell
