    Gyoza
    Carol K.

    What a great experience from start to finish! When friends suggested we drive down to Miami for sushi- I was thinking there were plenty of sushi places right around our house. But I wasn't prepared for the beautiful deco, outstanding service and great tasting food at Hiyakawa. We found street parking which was no small feat in this neighborhood. When we walked into the restaurant we were warmly greeted and seated. We were early so we pretty much had our choice of seats but the place filled up quickly so make a reservation! Since there were 4 of us- we got to taste a wide range of the menu, from rolls, to nigiri to gyoza and even the wagyu beef kabobs. Each dish delicious- each with it's own distinct flavor and textures. The restaurant is beautiful inside with lots of light curved wood creating a very dramatic dining experience. All in all, a lovely evening with friends in Miami. Sometimes you really do need a chance of locale!

    Wow, truly a 5 star experience at Hiyakawa. We were warmly greeted, led to our seats at the sushi bar, and introduced to all 3 chefs. The woodwork in the restaurant is just as beautiful as it looks in pictures. The curved, blonde wood and soft lighting set the tone for a perfect date night. We did the chef's tasting menu, which included a little bit of everything: warm bites, hand roll, sashimi, nigiri, and dessert. All fish is flown in from Japan, and our chef gave us insightful, detailed explanations of every dish. He answered all of our questions, made us laugh, and overall provided an amazing experience. We also added the wagyu gyoza, and will absolutely be adding it every time! We chose Hiyakawa as our first date after the birth of our child, as we wanted something special to celebrate. Hiyakawa is an expensive night out, but we found value in both the food and service. We will be back one day to celebrate another occasion!

    As expected, everything was exceptional. The service and atmosphere were great. The staff is attentive, refilling your water and removing plates once you finish eating without you needing to ask or look around. All small details that make the experience all the more worthwhile. The food was delicious and you can definitely taste it's of good quality. However, in my opinion, there was a lack of a 'wow' factor. Something that makes you reminisce after and reels you back in to eat there again. Maybe they do have that dish and I just didn't get to try it. If they develop that signature dish, I know this location is capable of a Michelin star. If you're around this location and celebrating a special occasion, it's worth checking it out.

    We sat at the sushi bar and had a great experience. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, and the service overall was amazing. Even the owner came by to thank us for visiting, which was a nice touch. The sushi was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the restaurant itself has a modern, chic vibe.

    Omakase
    Sheena T.

    I'll admit that I went into a bit of sushi fatigue when trying to decide on an excellent omakase experience when visiting Miami in December. Luckily, I made the right decision booking the chef counter at Hiyakawa! Located in a business area, the interior is beautiful with wooded finishes and a nice but not fussy vibe. The staff were super helpful and we appreciated the delicious selection of sake to accompany our experience. It did not disappoint, (and was one of the more affordable options that I found). The fish was all fresh and delicious, with the highlights being the sea urchin and all the items with caviar on top. We opted for two extra courses and one was a hand roll with caviar that was so delicious I shed a few tears of complete and utter joy. A wonderful experience that I will be back to experience!

    An omakase EXPERIENCE. My friends took me out for a birthday dinner and we came on a Sunday evening. Not much can make me come out to Miami but this sushi sure can. From the service to the quality of fish, everything was five stars. I came with three friends and we ended up getting a sake bottle compliment our courses for dinner. We just ordered a bottle recommended by the chef and it did not disappoint, although it did hurt our wallets. The courses were all great and the chef was super personable and walked us through each course. The interior of the restaurant itself was a thing of beauty! Overall a five star experience and great for special occasions.

    We were able to get a last minute reservation at the chefs table/sushi bar on Wednesday, December 10. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. 5-star service, attention to details, top quality and variety of nigiri available were the highlights. For example, chef had dishes I have never had like the mature yellowtail that is significantly tastier than the yellowtail you get in other - even Michelin star - sushi restaurants. Wine, Champagne, and Sake menu also great. Truly a special experience and highly highly recommend.

    Unreservedly one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to. One could hardly call it a sushi restaurant since half the serving were cooked or other dishes than sushi. But the fish itself was fantastic as well. Also one of the best sakes I've had, Dewazakura, Mountain Cherry, from Yamagata Prefecture. The chefs were friendly and personable. The Hitachiwagyu was fantastic, I had three dishes of this Wagyu. If you go, get all the Wagyu supplements. Of special note was the Uni chansons and the makiage. Special thanks to the Yuki Otoko Brewery representatives and their Yeti Sake and two other sakes that they shared quite generously. Domoarigatogozaimasu!

    - Fantastic service - Quite small inside and quiet - The chawanmushi was to die for - If you get the platter, you can tell them what you don't want and they'll make sure to avoid it - I've had better quality for cheaper prices elsewhere - The level of effort put into creating the dishes is definitely noticeable - Good for celebrations and not good for big groups

    An exceptional, elegant omakase experience. I caught a ride to the restaurant as parking in the area seemed limited to nonexistent. I would have appreciated some dedicated parking. Once inside you can sense a lot of care and effort went into the modern, intimately lit design. They have a small number wait / lounge area as we got there a few minutes early. After a few minutes they were ready for us at the main chef table bar. I'd frame it as semi-selective. You share the space with a few other diners (not too many) but are facing the chef preparation area. Other omakases I've visited have a more private area, which is something I think is a nice feel. Still, semiprivate worked in this design. Outside of that, the food was simply phenomenal. The chef was friendly and clearly loved what he did. Ingredients fresh and uniquish. They had great service and otherwise paid good attention and were as accommodating as possible for food allergies. If the opportunity arises, I would return in a heartbeat. My two favorites included the caviar scallop sushi as well as the hand roll. Wow the sushi is fresh. Two additional notes: I felt they gave enough food to be satisfied. I also don't think they cut corners with quality or quantity. For example, they had a high quality uni (sea urchin) and were generous with this delicacy not stingy. This was incredibly welcome as some other omakases leave you too hungry after, which is head scratching for such an expensive experience. Second, if you order sake, you're in for a nice surprise... they have such beautiful ceramics throughout and they bring out a selection of cups for you to choose. After factoring ambiance, service, food quality, food portions, plating, chef friendliness as well as staff attentiveness and some bonuses, I'd say this omakase is worth it if it's under your consideration.

    Came in on a Thursday for the omakase experience. Overall for the price point, they are lacking in service and attention. The fish fresh and delicious, but nothing out of this world. I would probably come back but not for the omakase experience. The ambiance was nice and lively for a Thursday.

    Best sushi in Miami! We loved everything. Food is amazing. We ordered sake and went with the full experience so ordered the set menu and it was phenomenal! Service was fast, friendly but professional. Ambience is cosy, cute, and homie. Def going back tohiyakawa!

    In March 2020, I was supposed to go to Japan for cherry blossoms and sushi. Well, that didn't happen. But tonight, this 17-course omakase dinner made me look forward to the the day I actually get to go. Amazing matcha, sushi, sashimi, chawanmushi, and wagyu wonderfully plated and presented. Definitely give this place a try if you're ever in Miami! Book the chef's counter to talk to Royce (9 yrs a sushi chef) and Masa (20 yrs a sushi chef). Combined, their sushi knowledge is older than I am! Friendly staff, great service, delicious food, beautiful space. Can't ask for any more.

Very warm, serene vibe with neutral tones. Definitely the kind of place you'd come to unwind and just enjoy good sushi without any chaos. Parking: Street parking is available, but it is paid, so keep that in mind before pulling up. The servers were very helpful and kind overall. My only complaint is that food came out a bit slow, especially considering it wasn't very busy at the time. Like serve me all my orders all at once pleaseeeeee so I can indulge lol What I Had: _________________ Sashimi Assortment - 10/10 Freaking delicious. Light, decadent, and incredibly fresh. Each piece tasted clean and high-quality, the kind of sashimi that melts the second it hits your mouth. They did their thing! Kanpachi Sashimi - 10/10 So good. Soft, delicate, and perfectly fresh. Every bite was balanced and flavorful without being heavy at all. Nigiri - White Fish Tasting - 11/10 Hands down my favorite part of my experience. I ordered multiple rounds (they come two per order), including branzino and snapper. The branzino was unreal. I wanted only branzino... that is how marvelous it was. Topped with this umami crunch that added so much texture and flavor. It was literally mouthwatering, like a burst of flavor in every bite. I honestly could've kept ordering this all night. Nigiri - Bluefin Tuna Tasting - 5/10 This one just wasn't for me. It wasn't fishy, but the texture was very slimy and didn't sit well in my mouth. It didn't swallow smoothly and just wasn't appetizing to me personally. Definitely a pass. Blue Crab Hand Roll - 6.5/10 I know this is a fan favorite, but it was just okay for me. Not bad at all, just didn't wow me compared to everything else I had. For $6, it's fine, but I wouldn't rush to reorder it. Customer Service: 8.5/10 Friendly and helpful, just slightly slow. Overall Experience: 9/10 Will I Be Back? Yes, absolutely. This establishment has been TAMIED™

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.

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.

The price point of $185 per seating is super worth it. You get a lot of fish and they are very creative with each nigiri. Their spin on it shows their creative side (with Miami flavors) but is not super over the top and sauce does not drown out the freshness of the fish. Something that stood out to me was how they shaved frozen monkfish liver as a topping. I wanna go back just for that!! They also had some pieces where they smoked the fish. Besides the food, I thought it was very creative how they welcomed guests with a welcome drink at the hotel bar. This was so unique! We finished ours early, and had some of their other drinks - they were all very good! Once they're ready, a server came to get us from the hotel bar and led us through an alleyway to a separate building which was where the actual omakase was taking place. The atmosphere was dark and gave off speakeasy vibes, which I thought was different to other omakase places. Bar is spacious enough to still have private conversations. We did the beverage pairing and we really appreciated the sommelier's knowledge. Overall, we would want to come back again for another tasting experience!!
