😠 Wonderful fish quality, small rice (which I like, but it is definitely small). Friendly service. PRICES ARE SKY HIGH like in 5* restaurant, common this is a shopping mall entrance, under the escalators, no restrooms, flies and bar seating only. It was empty on Monday. They said busy on the weekend,... People often mention sushi, service,

    A game changer for Miami sushi lovers and visitors!!!! If you’re looking for the freshest, most delicious sushi in all of south Florida then look no further. This restaurant is in the heart of Aventura mall and offers an authentic and intimate dining experience. The chef is an absolute Sushi God, it is such a treat to watch each piece of fish sliced with all the love and care he puts into his craft. You won’t regret trying one of everything on the menu (and there will be several you’ll want to order twice😉)!!!

    Wonderful fish quality, small rice (which I like, but it is definitely small). Friendly service. PRICES ARE SKY HIGH like in 5* restaurant, common this is a shopping mall entrance, under the escalators, no restrooms, flies and bar seating only. It was empty on Monday. They said busy on the weekend, maybe. Good luck, I won't visit again. The ambiance and the check is too far aways from expectation, even the nigiris were good.

    You'd never guess this is as good as it is by walking by. Sushi bar only. Chefs are fantastic! I would say one of the freshest sushi restaurants I've ever been to. Even the Wasabi is homemade. Yellowtail taste like they pulled it from the water and cut it for my dinner. Absolutely stunning!

    Amazing sushi super fresh good quality fish I would highly recommend the price is up but the quality is worth every penny . Service is 5 star and food is 5 star but giving 4 stars only because no liquor license I would have loved a nice cocktail with my delicious lunch , Amazing chef his name was yozu !

    Amazing food! The appetizers, sashimi and rolls were amazing. Word of warning, it's legit an outside bar. It's worth it, so give it a chance. You need a reservation on weekends!

    A sour taste… By far the best sushi I’ve ever had. What I thought was shady, was the way it went down. I’m ordering through the menu, the salesman describes this amazing meal, that “isn’t on the menu” but will blow your mind! At the end, He didn’t bring me a bill. He just took my card and ran it. I had to make it a point to get a receipt. I had to ask for it by name. He folds it so I can’t see it, hands it to me, and walks away. There was no reason to ask me for a tip. He didn’t need to. It’s so ridiculously priced that he knew I wouldn’t tip. I ate alone. I ordered water. And my bill was over $100. And the way it all went down made the sushi worthless because I left with such a sour taste in my mouth and I won’t be back. They might have had the most amazing sushi, but too bad I can’t go back or bring anyone else. Customer service and transparency should be more important than skimming an easy $100 off someone. I didn’t mind the cost either. It was worth it. But I can’t support a business like that.

    Simple, straightforward menu, excellent food. Best sushi I have had in a long time. Forget the larger sushi restaurants in Aventura if you are looking for an excellent meal. A gem.

    This place did not respect our reservation. In fact, we made one for 8:00 PM on Open Table, we called to confirm their location, in which they proceeded to hang up on us mid-conversation. When we walked in, the host/server/bartender lectured my boyfriend and raised his voice disrespectfully telling him WE made the mistake in our reservation and that it was our fault they’re refusing service. We know the restaurant canceled it via Open Table so they could go home for the night. The employee then asked for “proof” to seat us, but we couldn’t pull up the reservation because they canceled it on their end. There was not a SINGLE customer there and they didn’t close for another 30 minutes per their GOOGLE internet listing. You could very obviously see the employees were closing up the restaurant early and refused service so they could go home. The worst part for us, it so embarrassingly caused a scene and the employee was SO incredibly disrespectful and rude. We are truly hoping this refusal of service came from pure laziness and not some ignorant other reason. Needless to say, we will NEVER dine here ever.

    If you are looking for buffet style sushi get in your Kia and go. If you are looking for authentic sushi fit for a Samurai, you came to the right place. The owner-chef clearly takes much pride in what he does. My sushi tasted like it just came out of the sea. Also, has cool atmosphere for people watching.

👍 Love coming here for the ceviche, seafood, and appetizer dishes - I honestly wouldn't prefer to go anywhere else! I think their other full sized entrees are passable however. Pastas are very heavy and meat/steak dishes sometimes taste too much like fuel. One of my favorite things on the menu is the...
