Buffets can be iffy — just how long has that food been sitting there? What, exactly, is in that sauce? There are none of those concerns, though, at Shinju, which operates locations in South Miami-Dade as well as Broward and Palm Beach counties. The brisk turnover and high attention to quality make this place a […]
Japanese in Miami New Times
Showing 89 - 110 of 127
When non-Japanese restaurants, most commonly Thai joints, tack on sushi bars for purely commercial reasons, the sushi is generally either pretty lowest-common-denominator or pretty silly: a pedestrian selection of fish and lots of rolls featuring cream cheese. But not at Siam River. Though the Thai dishes are as good as anywhere else in town, the […]
This small, colorful, minimally decorated restaurant features “create a stir,” by which diners select vegetables and spices from a salad bar and then hand them over to a chef with verbal preferences regarding their choices of nine proteins (chicken, meats, seafoods), ten sauces (peanut, black bean, spicy Szechuan), and five starches (brown or white rice, […]
Not just a sushi joint, this bustling lunch-and-dinner spot in downtown Coral Gables offers daily specials – scribbled in Kanji and English on blackboards that run the length of the east wall – depending on what’s fresh. A treasure on the regular menu is the spicy kimuchi ramen, a fiery interpretation of traditional noodle soup, […]
Follow the hostess through the tall black gates of Villa Casa Casuarina on Ocean Drive, into the courtyard, then upstairs to a pair of heavy wooden doors. Behind them: a dark space with a wooden vaulted ceiling crisscrossed by intricately inlaid beams. This is Italian designer Gianni Versace’s former suite, converted into a Japanese speakeasy […]

Sushi Chef’s plain façade and restaurant-in-the-middle-of-a-Japanese-market interior give no indication it serves perhaps the most extensive selection of Japanese dishes around. The encyclopedic menu lists more than 200 dishes, from all manner of sushi to tempura, rice and noodle bowls, salads, and entrées. Fish is generally high-quality – though two pieces of questionably fresh toro […]
Located inside a little Japanese market (that’s nearly impossible to see from the road), this place has a Japanese-trained veteran sushi chef who turns out a limited selection of what insiders consider among Miami’s top sushi. Some is extremely hard-to-find traditional Japanese stuff, like the Battera — Osaka-style sushi, for which rice is loaded into […]
In 2018, Erika, the daughter and right hand of beloved sushi master Michio Kushi, opened her own tiny sushi spot just down the road from her dad’s old haunt, Sushi Deli, in North Bay Village – and she brought many of her late father’s classics with her. Don’t be misled by the diminutive space – […]
Husband and wife Jonas and Alexandra Millan like to joke they were forced to open Sushi Garage so they’d have a place to eat Japanese food in Miami Beach that’s neither too expensive nor too experimental. Searching for a simple California roll? Sushi Garage does the staple justice. They offer both mock crab and king […]

Sushi Maki is a laid-back sushi spot offering the usual variety of rolls, along with plenty of appetizers and entrée options for the raw-fish-phobic. Of appetizers, including staples such as edamame, summer rolls, and chicken yakitori, try the gyoza: tender steamed or fried dumplings filled with chicken, pork, or vegetables and served with a tangy […]
