The waiter was super patient since we were ordering for a couple friends who were not there yet and who ended up arriving right before 7. The menu has several options to choose from, and the portions are great for the price. I liked all the sushi rolls that we ordered and loved the lychee martini. We sat outside so did not have to worry about the AC being too cold. It was nice to feel the Española way vibe, especially during the world cup since they did have a big screen showing the games.

If you're in Miami Beach and want sushi I'd definitely say this is a good spot to pass by and get a fun seating experience to feel like you are in Japan. If you don't like sushi they also have a variety of other options on the menu including Udon, Ramen, and a couple other choices. I'd definitely come back to have more of the moshi moshi roll, that was the bite of the night

Perfectly grilled, flaky, and that chimichurri with a thick squeeze of fresh lemon? INSANE. The grilled avocado with soy sauce in the middle was another 10/10. Three avocado halves is technically enough to share, but I ate everything myself because protein and healthy fats matter. Super chic, perfect for lunch, and the service was BEAUTIFUL. Attentive without hovering and somehow they knew what you needed before you asked. And you can shop after? Dangerous. I'll be back every other day. Just kidding. Kind of.

This place has become a staple when we come to FL. Inside bar seating for this visit since we…read moredidn't make reservations and the outside bar was packed but service was just as good. We only stopped for drinks this time so no food for us but it was just as nice to sit at the bar and visit. Recommend requesting a lemon lavender mojito, the bartender did a great job mixing it. Noise level is ideal for conversations which is hard to say about some dining places.

Sushi Bichi is an answer to much of what ails the restaurant field in Miami. Unpretentious, vibey,…read morewarm, incredible value, great food. Everyone on the staff was smiley, friendly and helpful. The Happī Hour menu stands out as one of the best values in the area. I had 2 Classic Mojitos, Shrimp Cocktail, Lumpia Shanghai Roll, Pinoy BBQ Skewers and Kurobuta Corn Dogs from the Happī Hour menu. From the full menu, I had Salmon Tiradito, and the Chocolate Smores Cake a La Mode for dessert. Standouts for me were the Salmon Tiradito which had a beautiful presentation. It comes plated like a work of art with gooseberry, fresno chili, annatto oil, mustard oil, sea salt, white nikirisoy aioli. Wish I had taken a photo. This is the only place I ever order corn dogs (and I ALWAYS order them here) which are made with a Japanese sausage and come with a special spicy mustard that gives it an interesting, gourmet kick. Don't go heavy on the mustard if you're sensitive to spice. Hot! I am told the Chocolate Smores Cake a La Mode is inspired by the owner's son, and it is magnificently-plated and delicious. This is not the campfire version of S'mores. This is the haute cuisine version. You cannot beat Sushi Bichi on quality of food and experience for the price, especially during the Happī Hour which runs 4-6:30pm. You can walk onto the beach after your meal, if you'd like. It's right there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Parking tip: there is a large public lot on Collins Avenue around the corner that I've always found a spot in. Short walk to Sushi Bichi.

Food was 10 out of 10. Fresh, flavorful, balanced. Subtle and yet popped. The Sazeko roll (I think…read moreit was) was our favorite. The cilantro cream was a perfect touch. So good that we had to order a second roll. This is also the perfect opportunity to try some prime fish cuts, like otoro and chutoro. Ughhhh it melts in tour mouth. Octopus was also really great! Rainbow roll was also great. We also got the oyster mushroom skewer and the eggplant skewer. Eggplant skewer absolutely outshined the other one. Totally get the eggplant. Dessert was great! Matcha tres leches was a stunner. Mochi came with 4 flavors, banana, passion fruit, mango, and birthday cakes. Best was birthday cake and banana. Ralph was our server. Great presence. Down to earth. Seemed to be having a great time! Also this place qualified for the chase sapphire reserve $150 dining credit. And this place is absolutely worth raking up a bill!

The standouts were the sashimi which was delicious and buttery, the crispy rice rolls, the paperfish roll and the miso cod lettuce wraps which were five pieces in appetizer version. I've had Nobu's miso cod and this was just as good, if not better for a fraction of the price. This is a solid choice in Miami with standout sushi.

Better of the options in south beach since it is not cliche of a place for the tourists visiting…read morethe area. 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.

Nighttime? Even better. The vibe is effortlessly elevated without trying too hard, which is rare for Miami. The food is consistently fresh and the desserts are dangerously good. The drinks are always on point, and the service keeps up with the whole experience- attentive but never overbearing. Hands down my favorite rooftop with a view. It's the kind of place you keep going back to... and also secretly don't want too many people to find out about.

Beautiful place to grab a drink or meal…read more I had a weird experience on a rainy day. There were plenty of open tables under the covered part of the patio, but upon arrival was told there is only table seating for hotel & select guests due to weather. We sat at the bar. Service was quick, asked if we had any dietary restrictions. Vibey house music. Japanese-style menu. Dogs 25lbs or less allowed. Tuna bowl was very fresh & delicious. Fries were crunchy and generously topped with truffle and parm. Chicken Karaage was delicious.

While they did accommodate us (it was not busy at all), they wouldn't push any tables together and split our group up. It was fine, but a little odd.

The acrobatic shows began at 8:00 p.m., with additional performances at 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. The acrobat was graceful, mesmerizing, strong, and sexy. When we made our reservation, we also asked for a table with a good view of the show, and they accommodated us with a fantastic front-row view from one of the couches. It was so much better than our previous visit, when we were trying to peer around a pillar and across the restaurant to see the performance. If seeing the show is important to you, I definitely recommend requesting a table with a good view when you make your reservation. Before the show the DJ plays music. The volume was at a good level, loud enough to be fun but soft enough to be able to hear each other talk. Although the restaurant initially feels like an indoor space, the central courtyard is actually open-air with overhead coverings, so there is plenty of fresh air while still feeling sheltered. Tall palm trees, pools of water, couches, and traditional dining tables create a beautiful and distinctive atmosphere. Overhead fans kept the temperature surprisingly comfortable despite the Miami heat. For Miami Spice, we had the tuna tacos, miso branzino, and Milk Tea for dessert -- jasmine green tea crème brûlée with honey tea jelly and lychee sorbet. Dining at Jaya was one of the highlights of our trip to Miami. Delicious food, great service, a beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful entertainment made it much more than just dinner. We were very glad we came back.

They had traditional breakfast options-eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, fruit, and pastries to lunch/dinner options- burger, fries, chicken, lamb, sushi, pad thai, fried rice, and much more. They also had a dessert station which included- crepes, bread pudding, macaroons, various cakes, and the most delicious cinnamon rolls that we've ever had. The food was delicious! The ambiance was incredible. It is outdoors so you will need to prepare for the elements. We also had live music while we were there. Service was pretty great in the beginning, very attentive, but you could tell when the restaurant was starting to get busier, which meant our server was occupied for longer periods of time. It took us some time to get our server to bring the check. It's a 2-hour dining experience that you pay $110/person plus the 20% service charge but we ended up getting shuffled out about an hour and a half into it. I'm assuming she was the manager who was directing other staff to "get these people out of here" to our table and the surrounding tables next to us. Which the tables next to us sat after us, so they were there for even less time. So aside from the older woman, who I assume was a manager, everything else was great!
