    I came here for the Omakase experience with a friend of mine and left having the most memorable sushi experience in my life. I mean..that's not even food, it's art. Chef Bryan skillfully prepared his freshly arranged pieces of Nigiri and Sashimi in ways that I've never witnessed before. The bold zesty flavors of artisanal Japanese cuisine overcoming my palate made me feel like I was turning Japanese with every bite. The menu is daring yet simplistic which presents a dichotomy that I openly welcome. Kathy was the Sous Chef that helped bring his creations to fruition with pristine service and etiquette. Truly, this spot is a great beyond words. YES, YOU NEED RESERVATIONS. NO, YOU CANNOT BE LATE. I do recommend bringing a nice bottle of sake to accompany your dinner because it really amplifies the whole experience. This spot is for the true sushi lovers who dodge mediocrity. Ahí Sushi is perfect for even the most discerning palate. It's a very small and intimate experience so take in the moment because it's gone before you know it. I personally can't wait to return.

    Hey listen guys, I'd like it if you stay away from this place. A few reasons: 1. This place has no teriyaki, no tempura, no ramen. And definitely no pad thai, tom yum, or other dishes that you may think is Japanese (saying this because a friend of mine got a 1 star rating for not serving pad thai in her Japanese restaurant). They just focus on what they do best. 2. No colorful dragon, sex on the beach... If you want colorful rolls drenched in sauces for your instagram, go elsewhere. 3. It's a small place, with about 6-8 seats at the counter. Yes, like what you may find when you walk down an alley in Tokyo. No privacy! Totally should take your date somewhere else. Yup, go back to "search" and look elsewhere! And if you are still reading, let me further dissuade you: 4. You like your spicy mayo dunking sauce? Well, Chef Brian won't even let us dip our aburi salmon into soy sauce or wasabi, as he feels that his nigiri, with a slice of fried garlic, is perfection manifested (so forget about ). Truth be told, I can't disagree. As Chef said, the yakumi pairing is spot on. Yakumi literally means medicinal flavor, and likely originated in the medicinal property of garlic, scallion and the like, but the word today is synonym with aromatics: the teeny dollop of daikon, scallion and the like on sushi, noodles, and other food add complexity and elevate the taste to another level. BTW the tuna salad is another winner with the perfect balance of wasabi, soy and vinegar to make every bite stimulating. 5. Eating here is a dangerous one way street. Serious warning: You won't be happy with sushi buffets and supermarket sushi again. So yeah, don't let me walk in and see you taking my seat and making me wait two hours for my sushi. Stay away!!!!

    If you're a real sushi lover and don't care about all the fluff you'll find in Brickell or South Beach you need to try this place! When I tell you that their fish melts in your mouth I am not exaggerating. The fish is shipped directly from Japan and the quality is just . I would recommend everything on the menu especially if you're a picky eater because you will be pleasantly surprise how good sushi is when it's prepared the way it is here. Definitely make a reservation and experience the Omakase menu as it's the best this place has to offer and actually one of the best Omake experiences in Miami without the large bill!

    How do you say, omakase in spanglish? My girlfriend and I stumbled on this little hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant accidentally on purpose one night. And it was a night to remember.... Located in the heart of Little Havana (pero que?), it's main feature is how small and intimate it is. An unassuming storefront simply displays its name and address, inside a small four seat counter leaves barely any room to get by, but from behind the counter, comes delectable delicacies of sushi stardom. Dining is a-la-carte or omakase (there's that word again). Everything is fresh daily until it runs out, and believe me, it does run out. The chef brilliantly prepared each piece with care, expertise, and beautiful technique that will leave you wanting more. The menu is simple and select with only the very best in fresh fish and ingredients. It's an experience you don't want to miss. Until next time, see you on Yelp! *This sushi restaurant is from the same minds that brought us Lung Yai Thai Tapas just down the street. Another amazing eatery which I have reviewed before.

    Quite the experience! The place is small yet inviting, clean and cute. We came for the omakase and were blown away. The seafood is extremely fresh and the chef prepares the most delicious dishes. The sashimi practically melted in your mouth. The different fish options were just buttery and tender. And the flavors were just fantastic! An unexpected explosion of flavor in your mouth. The chef artfully prepares each dish before you and it it's served by his assistant and he explains everything in detail. You will have the pleasure of tasting around 10 different dishes...all unique and amazing. Seating is only at the bar and for about a total of eight people. Make sure you have reservations and pick the omakase option. It won't disappoint. It is definitely and interesting find in this area.

    Omg, what a great experience. Highly recommended. Do the tasting menu. The best sushi I have ever had and I didn't have to go to Japan. It only seats 5 people at a time so it's definitely a great date spot. Im going to throw something out there, for those of you who know, Jiro got nothing on this . This is "Brion Dreams of Sushi"

    If you walk down 8th street too fast, you'll miss this hole in the wall sushi spot. Omakase is the specialty here and you would have made a mistake if you choose anything else. The food is so thoughtfully prepared and executed that you are excited to see chef put each dish together. It's just chef and his assistant serving the six seat room and it makes for an intimate experience. This is hands down the best sushi in Miami.

    It's quite an experience, feeling how the fish melts in your mouth with perfect temperature of the rice and the touch of flavor that is a chef's surprise. Chef Brian gives you a great service, explaining how to eat and what you are eating plus his music make the ambiance perfect. My favorite OMAKASE in Miami.

    The best place I could have walked into!

    お任せ The more I learn about food, and different cultures; the more I live. My first time having an #omakase experience. My hat to Chef Bryan of Ahi for his distinct input in the Miami food scene, particularly in such an area like Little Havana where Cuban cuisine dominates every corner Ahi is like stepping into an effortlessly achieved good-vibe. I honestly recommend this place to everyone. Very high quality passion here! Oh, and don't get me started on the name

    Omakase, Tokujo

    This place is a hidden gem in Little Havana. I don't normally venture out into Little Havana, but I was on the hunt for a true Omakase experience. We had the Tokujo experience and it was superb. Keep in mind, you do have to reserve in advance to enjoy this. The restaurant itself is a tiny, unassuming space, but don't be fooled by this. The food and the experience are what truly shine. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine, this place is a must. We enjoyed our time with the chef, a little Sake, and the most delicious raw fish in Miami. I was told they get their fish from Japan fresh every day. You can definitely tell by the taste.

    Stopped in when my brother was visiting town and he really wanted sushi. I called ahead of time to confirm there was room for 2 and was asked if I wanted to join the 730PM seating and if I wanted the omakase. I always sort sushi restaurants into one of two camps: 1) rolls only or 2) a place where you should skip the rolls and get the nigiri / sashimi. The few other sushi restaurants I've visited in Miami thus far have all been in the "rolls only" camp. From the outside, Ahi Sushi looked like it would be a place where you could get nigiri / sashimi so we decided to get the omakase. The omakase is $80 per person and is 10 'courses.' The courses range from 1-4 pieces per 'course' and included various nigiri, sashimi, and tartare. Overall, everything we had was good but nothing was 'wow.' The highlights were the seared salmon with garlic chip, bluefin tuna tartare, and the uni. That said though, I left hungry still. A few more pieces would have left me feeling satisfied and happier about the $80 price.

It is small, beautiful with open space, and intimate that you will enjoy very much. The music is piped in and is relaxing. They provide excellent service and show pride of ownership. We didn't have reservations but we were welcomed and even received the best seats in the house. Our server was Francisco, who has worked there a long time, was excellent! We chose the Oma Deluxe because we wanted the entire experience. Francisco explained each sushi and what part of the fish we were eating. Each dish was brought out separately. There were about 9 pieces of different cuts of fish. They were delicious! My daughter had Sake and I had Non-alcoholic beer. Both went fine with our meal. Afterwards, we were served dessert. What a great experience! Give it a try when you can. Later, we went upstairs to ASTRA restaurant and bar to further enjoy our evening with beautiful views of Miami. Street parking is available in Wynwood.

Parking is mostly limited street parking though, so plan ahead. This spot is more about curated tastings, sashimi, nigiri, and handrolls rather than specialty rolls, so don't expect a huge roll menu. We ordered the sashimi assortment, white fish tasting, seared salmon, bluefin tuna tasting, unagi foie gras, and a few handrolls including blue crab and negi toro. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful, especially the bluefin and unagi foie gras. Portions are on the lighter side though, so we left satisfied but not totally full. Cedrick was awesome and really made the experience better. He knew the menu inside and out and explained everything perfectly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Wynwood and want quality sushi without the overly trendy vibe.

From the moment we arrived, the ambiance and location created the perfect atmosphere for a special evening. The food truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Miso Black Cod -- it was phenomenal and had the same rich, buttery texture as Chilean sea bass. Absolutely delicious. The Wagyu Burger was also outstanding -- freshly ground, high quality, and cooked perfectly. We also tried one of their sushi rolls topped with miso and filled with fresh tuna and salmon, and it was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Our server (I didn't catch her name -- an Asian woman, possibly in her 40s) was wonderful and made our experience even more enjoyable with her attentive and warm service. We truly loved this place and are already looking forward to coming back, especially to explore more of their sushi menu. Highly recommend!

They need to be a good sushi place to survive in this area but again like most places in the area charge 20% gratuity. This makes employees feel entitled and lose motivation to give good service. These are subsidies for the company to pay employees. The ambiance is actually good for this area. I would give 5 stars if the prices were more reasonable or if they actually had spectacular food. In any other city this would be decent sushi at half the price.

We got there a bit before our reservation time, and they let us sit in the smaller dining area as we waited for our spots to open up. We all did the $200 tasting and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the bites. It's 8 courses that range from a nigiri sampler, small bites, and dessert. Most memorable were the clam broth, beef loin and carrots, and the fatty tuna nigiri with caviar on top. The fatty tuna nigiri with caviar was the main reason I wanted the tasting! There is an à la carte menu too, but it was a lot easier just letting the chefs portion out our meal. Would definitely check them out and enjoy a superb evening out!

Then they pour the bottle touching the rim of your glass spreading contaminated germs from the other patron's glass! GROSS! They proudly boast that their service is top notch, while it's 7 men standing in the corner and 1 sweet woman dressed like a geisha being obnoxiously monitored. The vibe felt very intense there. The hovering over people in this tiny, little whole in the wall restaurant felt overwhelming. I started to lose my patience being that there is so much staff standing around and found myself several times having to pour my own wine bottle. 2nd, I told them it was my son's birthday and nobody went out of their way to make his birthday special! And just a fair warning, you will spend over a $1000 dollars and walk out of there still very hungry! What a disappointment! Furthermore, they price gouge people trying to pass off as if his restaurant is Michelin worthy! An absolute joke! And here's the "best part" when I tried to voice my concerns, I was told to leave! I was very polite and instead of hearing me out, trying to make my experience better, I get told to leave! How disgusting! Please don't come here. The ambiance is terrible, overwhelming, and you will get sick because they have no consideration for cross contamination!

You can access the mall area from the left of the hotel lobby. What impressed me most was the presentation of all the dishes. They really took great care to make everything look beautiful. All the plates and dishes were just so stunning. The other thing that really stood out was the service. They were so friendly and helpful. I truly appreciate when servers know their menu well and are able to make suggestions. I can't remember my server's name, but she was just top-notch. We ordered: - Miso soup, (served in a charming, Japanese chawan mushi cup) the flavor was really good and strong. (I hate it when it's weak) - Spicy dumplings. They tasted homemade. Yummy - Shrimp shu mai, good, tasted as it should - Tanaka roll, with extra crispies on top, (I was not a fan because I did not expect it to be deep-fried. if it had not been deep-fried, I would've liked it.) - Peking duck served in an impressive three tier tower that looks like a round Chinese Temple. - Pork Belly Bao bun, this was also a miss for me because I expected it to taste like barbecue, but it was just really salty like they used a lot of brown salty sauce. All in all, I really enjoyed this restaurant, even though I didn't like those two items. Bec But, because of the excellent service, the atmosphere and the beautiful way they served the food, I decided to leave them a five star review. Those dishes weren't bad they just weren't what I expected. We don't live in the area so if we were to stay in this hotel again, we would definitely dine here again. I'd like to try some of the other items on the menu. You should give this Restaurant a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.

It may not have the best ambiance or the nicest restaurant decor, but the menu does not disappoint. I particularly like eel, so I recommend the unagi. I also loved the hama chili, which is one of their signature dishes, the wagyu dingo, the shime saba (mackerel), the kimono even though it's a very small bite, and the kinoko nabe, which is not pictured but is truly a must. I'm not sure what they add to it, but it is delicious. If you have room for dessert, the fried milk is interesting because it has several different flavors and textures you can combine. The one dish I would not necessarily recommend is the madai crudo, which needed a little more flavor in my opinion. Service is good both at the tables and in the bar area.

We shared their happy hour omakase for two, and I added a crispy rice with gyutoro (wagyu short rib bites) which was highly recommended. The omakase started with a little raspberry pineapple palate cleanser "shot" before a rapid flurry of dishes. Their signature hama chili yellowtail dish was fresh and savory. The crab cake curry as surprisingly tasty, with the savory salty crab balanced by the creamy slightly spicy curry sauce. The chicken skewers had a nice flavor although could have been a little juicier. All of the nigiris were fresh and flavorful, and they even accidentally brought us another table's order of salmon nigiri which they realized and said it was on the house as an anniversary gift! My favorite dish of the night was the crispy rice with gyutoro - the lightly sesame seasoned rice sesame paired perfectly with the super tender beef and savory slightly nutty salsa macha. It's a shame they only have it on the happy hour menu! To finish the omakase, they brought us a slice of one of their new desserts, a matcha cake which was a little strong on the tart components but had a satisfying strong matcha flavor.
