Midorie 79th

Cuisine: Japanese

Neighborhood: Miami Shores/Biscayne Park

851 NE 79th St. Miami, FL 33138

This blink-and-you’ll-miss-it neighborhood favorite near the Biscayne Boulevard end of the 79th Street Causeway dispenses wonderfully simple and straightforward sushi and ingredient-based sushi bowls. The maki, determinedly classic and unfancy, are constructed with great care. Look for daily specials, cooked-fish creations, and, for dessert, a handful of mochi ice cream flavors, including matcha green tea and salted caramel. Formerly known as Wabi Sabi, the restaurant rebranded as Midorie mid-decade and has a twin in Coconut Grove, with more South Florida Midories in the pipeline.
