We stopped into this tiny outpost to celebrate my friend's birthday and what a fun food adventure we had! For lunch you have the option to order off the menu or go with the omakase menu (or Chef's choice). We opted to do the omakase and it was amazing. We had about 7 dishes and ALL were delicious. He takes you through some lighter dishes first building to more substantial protein based dishes like the fresh sashimi, and deliciously marinated grilled meat dish then finishes with something sweet......it is an interactive and very fun way to eat. The chef and server explained each dish and truly each and every dish we tried was a celebration of flavors, textures and high quality food. I am already planning my next visit! As far as the space goes, it is very small and you eat at their counter so you need to be ready for that. Additionally, I would recommend that they reconsider their seating. Part of this experience is in savoring the food and relaxing as you get ready for the next offering. The stools at the counter do not have backs - they are benches and although not horribly uncomfortable, a stool with a back would greatly improve this dining experience. Food for thought....... That said, I loved our lunch yesterday. The food was awesome and Chef Brian and our server Erin were welcoming, friendly and fun. Can't wait to go back! read more

A little hole in the wall that's a GEM. Yes, the seats can be a little tight if it's a full house, but wow -- the food here is exquisite. They serve high quality, fresh sushi here. I tried the uni nigiri sushi, salmon salad, and a tuna poke bowl. The uni was fresh and creamy, practically melts in your mouth. The salmon salad and poke bowl were beautiful with all the different ingredients, flavors, and textures going on. Chef is superb! Our waiter was also amazing -- very personable, professional, and kind. Thank you for the wonderful meal! read more

Hidden gem! I ended up here for a late night snack and completely loved the place. We order the tuna tataki, that was probably my favorite of the night. It was so fresh and flavorful, like every piece of tuna melted in my mouth. Then, we had the hamachi sashimi, also very tasty. Finally, we tried a Nigiri Trout that had a touch of crispy garlic on top, was very unique and really good. Food is definitively 10/10. I also really like the fact that the chef is cooking right in front of you, so you get to appreciate the whole process. The chef and the staff are super friendly. I highly recommend visiting this sushi bar. read more

I have been here three times now: first in march of 2018, then last fall, and now tonight. Every time I have been, Ahi delivers. The omakase menu is based on what fish is available and each piece is both explained in detail and absolutely delicious. I love the quality of the fish as well as the ambiance of the restaurant. I will always want to come back! read more

The fish is brought straight from Japan and the chef personally selected our menu. He was so kind and all the sushi was amazing! They literally melted on the mouth!! Don't sleep on this place! read more

Eating at this place was nothing short of amazing and probably one of the best sushi experiences I've ever had. We all went with the Omakase style dinner and felt that it was definitely worth it. Every course was unique, fresh and absolutely delicious. I'd recommend to call at least a few days ahead and set reservations since they only accommodate about 8 people at a time. However the fact that the meal is only being enjoyed by a small, intimate group enhances the overall experience. If you drink, don't forget to byob! read more

Wow just wow!!!!! Amazingly fresh sushi and the service was amazing! Great sushi chef! Will be coming here a lot!

Amazing food, chef and service! Everything is super fresh and prices are up to the restaurant! Love it! Definitely will come back!

The Omakase experience was pretty cool. It felt like we had a private chef cooking each course for us and then discussing each one with us in detail as we ate. It was interesting to hear about each dish, the sourcing of each seafood item (many imported from Japan), while a Japanese tuna market sale was streaming on the tv behind the bar. This place is tiny which adds to the private feel. The servers were great, friendly and were happy to serve us our own sake that we brought. The food was very authentic and I'm assuming traditional. Some of the highlights were Hamachi Toro, Tuna toro handroll, Uni handroll, scallop with shark roe and miso, several different Japanese snapper variations, crispy shrimp head, Japanese sea eel, etc. I only took pictures of about half of the items served to us because some of them were literally served by the chef handing us a handroll directly with no plate. The chef doesn't seem to be a big proponent of soy sauce as a condiment so the instruction is to eat each item without it. That allowed a better opportunity to taste each item. The Omakase isn't something I'd eat too often because it ended up being pretty pricey even with us bringing our own sake and paying a corkage fee but it was a great experience for sure. read more

First and foremost please do yourself a favor by doing a bit of homework. This is a very predominant omakase establishment. Omakase being the key word. Chef is very enthusiastic about his craft. Is there room for improvement.. yes of course but dudes heart is in right place and thus sure to follow will be success. read more

Cute and small place with hospitality. Japanese style and professional chef. I like this30lace and my first experience to eat sushi. read more

This place is great especially if you're on a date. You have to make reservations but you'll have the whole place to yourselves. It's omakase style so you're leaving it up to the chef to choose. It is a bit pricey but you're definitely getting your money's worth. Every thing was fresh and tasted amazing. Definitely recommended for a special night out. read more

Very good sushi at a good price. Such fresh fish and very good rolls. The menu is a bit more limit due to COVID, so I can't wait to try all their other items another time. The staff was incredibly friendly and wanted to make sure we had the best experience. They were so grateful for the business. We'll be going back. read more

Ahi Sushi Bar - Hamachi Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I ran across the reviews and liked the idea of a no frills high quality local sushi experience on 8th St. I agree it's best described a typical Japanese omakase "diner" with only about 6 seats at the counter and directly served by Chef Brian and his sous chef. I think they have ala carte but no doubt the omakase is their specialty. We started with probably my favorite dish, toro sashimi wrapped around Japanese uni. Great flavors and amazingly tender fish. The courses kept coming with various nigiri and sashimi dishes ranging from assortment of jacks, mackerel, salmon hand roll filled with uni, ikura etc. I really enjoy the diversity of dishes and felt it was the right amount of food. Despite the casual vibe, I do feel it's was priced about right at $800 for party of four including sake bottle and extra $100 nigiri. Would not necessarily call it inexpensive as other yelpers stated. Chef Brian was friendly and certainly cared about our enjoyment. read more

Is it delicious? Is the service impeccable? Is Ahi Sushi one of my favorite sushi places in Miami? Yes, yes, yes! This small sushi bar in the heart of Calle Ocho provides such a unique world-class sushi experience in a location you would never expect. Outside you feel as though you're walking through Havana Cuba, but step inside and you're transported to Japan. You'll need a reservation since there are only 5 or 6 seats in the entire place, and while there is an a la carte menu, you're doing yourself a disservice if you skip the chef's choice omakase option. Ask about the 7 course option if you're okay with skipping things like urchin that make up the end of the 10 course menu. As it is byob, feel free to bring a bottle or two of wine that the staff will chill if necessary and serve you. Overall, I highly recommend Ahi Sushi and can't wait to visit again. read more

My husband and I came here on a whim after the server at Lung Yai Thai recommended it for the omakase. This was probably one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food was exceptional, as well as the entire staff. We had such a great time chatting with them as the chef presented one great bite after another. I absolutely loved the dessert which was persimmon with cinnamon - it really elicited wonderful childhood memories of my grandmother making Sujeonggwa. I believe that food shouldn't just taste good, but it should elicit emotions. Thank you for the unforgettable meal and experience. We will definitely be back when we visit Miami again! read more

This place is a hidden gem & one of the best sushi spots in Miami! I must have passed by it a million times when driving on 8th street & never knew about it until a friend recommended. It's very small & only sits a few people at the bar area (maybe 5-6 people total). I haven't dinned in yet, only have had takeout but the rolls are always delicious & fresh. I do think it's a little on the pricey side for traditional rolls ($14 spicy tuna roll) but the quality says it all. Highly recommend this place! read more

Ahi Sushi Bar you are most certainly remarkable, I had a wonderful experience here yesterday. I don't want to leave because of the atmosphere. Ahi Sushi Bar has a fantastic Hamachi Ponzu Salad, that was my first time giving it a try here, and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. I became great friends with the staff, who are all fabulous and super pleasant. Highly recommended this place any day. read more

Great value, wonderful experience, incredibly fresh fish, right in the heart of Calle ocho. Will recommend to friends and family!

Chef saw me come into the restaurant in full dress uniform (due to the fact that I am working in the neighborhood where the restaurant is located in) and refused to serve me food. I wonder if this Chef has an issue with Men and Women in uniform that protects the very same community that he is trying to gain profit from... Especially after having already worked 12+ hours without having any kind of food for the day. read more

Come to this place with a loved one. I went with my 2 sisters and it was perfect. Very small but you can understand how they make their food the center of importance. It was fresh and clean. Bring your own bottle of Sake and you will be introduced to amazing food from people that know what they are doing! read more

I love this place! I just moved to Miami from SF and I'm very picky about my sushi and sashimi. The fish here is so fresh, and I really enjoy the great intimate atmosphere that allows for friendly conversation with the chef and others. This place is a true gem in the heart of Little Havana!! read more

Best sushi I've ever had! So fresh! They were closing as we walked by and I was so disappointed to see they were closing.... but the waiter chased us down the street and they reopened just for us. Could not have been happier. We live right around the corner and will be frequenting this spot!! read more

From the first bite of sushi I understood that the ingredients used by the chef are top quality. Presentation left me completely satisfied while staff were attentive and professional. I walked out of the door of this small and super cozy place with the taste of that amazing food in my mouth. It was like having the feeling to have just finished dinner at a friend's house somewhere in Japan. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it. read more

A breath of fresh air! Finally a reasonably priced excellent sushi/Omakaze joint in downtown Little Havana area. Sits maximum 5 people with Chef Soo fixing up fresh fish and ingredients from Uní, Jelly Fish, Stingray...awesome! read more

Great 6 seat sushi spot. 100% authentic and true to Japanese style sushi. Call ahead to plan for Omakase.

The most arrogant and silly sushi bar I ever been in my life. We came in, there were 2 chairs available but they didn't allow us in. Place looks tiny and shitty. They just showed us our way out, no apologies, no worries, mean, pretentious people. I won't ever be back. I'm sure I can find better sushi and defenetly better service. read more

Excellent hole in the wall sushi spot. As other said, only 6 seats in the restaurant so it's a very intimate experience. You can talk to the chef and server about all the different fish and ingredients. The quality was excellent and it was pretty moderately priced considering ($80/omakase). Great experience! read more

Excellent service and even better food. Sushi was fresh, desserts were delicious. Ambiance is also beautiful and welcoming.

The best meal and dining experience I have ever had in my entire life. The seafood was fresh, the sake was smooth, the dishes were all made with careful and meticulous preparation that each one followed the other in an order that preserved the unique flavors and allowed for the maximum enjoyment. The chef and waitress were fantastic and we had a very spirited conversation about a variety of topics. Good food, good laughs, and good fun all around. My husband and I will be coming back any chance we get whenever we are in the area visiting Miami. read more

Tastefully and so Fresh! Nice private environment! Make sure to bring your choice of bottle sake/ wine! Im coming back!

I had the Chefs choice, all the offerings were fresh and well prepared. This is a little quaint stop in Calle ocho. Only about 8 seats so reservations are a most. It is not cheap but a good value for the quality of the food. You can bring your own wine beer and there is corking fee. The service is excellent read more

Pretty solid option for late night. Friendly staff good ambience. Fish was fresh. Would come back again.

Out of this world omakase experience. Every dish is a masterpiece. The chef is talented and the service is impeccable. The price is very reasonable for the quality. A perfect little place. read more
