Went to try Miss Crispy Rice and did the 8-course lunch this past Saturday afternoon. While I don't remember every single dish name, I can confidently say they were all amazing. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we basically had the whole place to ourselves, which made it feel like a full personal dining experience -- definitely a little bonus for us. Every course was exceptional, but the crispy rice truly stood out... so good and 100% something I'll be going back for. I also loved the subtle touch of lemon zest on some of the sushi - it added such a fresh, bright flavor. The only thing I wish is that we were able to see the full 8-course menu listed on paper so I could properly name and shout out each dish in this review. Overall, still such a great experience and absolutely worth it. read more

The space is intimate with limited seating, which makes the entire evening feel special from the moment you walk in. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. I had the 12‑course Omakase. The fish tasted unbelievably fresh, and the chef's talent really shines through in the subtle, thoughtful ingredients he pairs with each bite. Nothing is overpowering -- everything is balanced, clean, and deeply flavorful. Some of my favorites were the crudos, the Taiwanese fish dumplings, and the blue crab hand roll -- absolutely delicious. All the crispy rice dishes were tasty and creative. Even though I couldn't capture photos of everything, every course was memorable. The wine and sake selection is good. Dessert was the perfect finale -- not overly sweet, and such a satisfying way to end the meal. Another huge plus: parking is incredibly easy. There's a lot just a few feet away, so you're not circling the block or stressing before your reservation. Overall, this was a fun and memorable dining experience from start to finish. Delicious food, a talented chef, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger . I will absolutely be coming back. read more

If you're looking for good food that's affordable and served quickly, this is the place. read more

Everything was absolutely amazing. We got lucky and got sat down within 10 minutes without a reservation. The service was fantastic, Debra was amazing. She was making all the sushi for us and was very quick at it. I love that it really feels like an experience when you are eating there. I ordered the crispy rice flight and each piece was delicious and filled with flavor. The rice was crisped to perfection, I honestly could've ordered another flight but was full and didn't want to over do it but they were soo good. The panko shrimp was awesome and had so much flavor. The egg tartar gave it a real kick, I loved it. I also had a soup which was good, it really made my tummy feel so warm and happy afterwards. I'll definitely be coming back here once again. I can't wait to do the multiple course dinner. I didn't think I could finish it this time around so I didn't order it but next time I'm going in!! read more

Miami Spice menu unfortunately just didn't impress. Don't get me wrong, the $35 price is amazing, and for that alone you should take the chance to check out Miss Krispy Rice! But some of the flavor combos didn't taste too good. Photos of spice courses below. I'd suggest going for non-spice menu so you can have choice. Service was great and the owner chatted with us as well during the meal which was a nice touch - you can tell they care! read more

Miss crispy rice has been on my bucket list for quite some time and although I haven't yet scratched their restaurant off my list I had the please of trying them out at the lunar festival in downtown. I got their salmon hand roll which was amazing and shows me the find the highest quality fish for their dishes which is absolutely important as I eat sushi all the time and even though the fish is suppose to be a garnish in Japan. Here in Miami it isn't easy to find that quality of fish everywhere. Also had their beef pho dumplings that compliments the hand roll in every way. read more

Miss Crispy Rice - Beef pho dumplings - Sushi Bars Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Came here for "taste of Gables". I made a reservation and was immediately sat. This location is small, but the omakase bar is still nice. The sushi chefs were pleasant and talkative, explaining each piece of fish. it was $35 for 7 course lunch, and i also added on a hand roll and crispy rice. My favorite bites were the orange hamachi crudo and the scallop crispy rice. Their miso soup with the leeks and corn was also delicious. I added on the hawaian poke hand roll, and im happy i did, because i loved the sweet sauce on top. I was shocked at how much i enjoyed the panko shrimp handroll with the egg cream on top. It almost reminded me of egg salad, and it paired rally nicely with the shrimp. The fish dumplings were okay, just a normal dumpling. All-in-all really nice omakase for the price. read more

The food was amazingly fresh and super high grade sushi. One of the best I've ever had. Did the 14 course meal and I was super full but $87 later, it was pricy. They bring you one piece of this, one piece of that very slowly and tiny portions. I would say this is for very special occasions only. The one thing I was surprised was that they don't offer hot green tea. I would expect such a high end establishment to offer home made high quality selection of green hot tea. I must with a Japanese experience. read more

Chef Deborah was so nice! Food was amazing. We went for the Taste of Gables $60 12-course dinner special. Its super worth it, especially if you are a sushi lover. The crispy rice and hand rolls were my favorite. Highly recommend. read more

I've been to several omakase experiences, so I was looking forward to trying this one. I opted for the 14-course option, which is advertised at $87 per person. However, with taxes and added "fees," the total for two people came out to $230. While most of the bites were decent, I felt the overall experience lacked the sense of quality I've come to expect from omakase. That said, the service was excellent. They were able to accommodate my shellfish allergy without issue. My water glass was never empty, and the staff consistently checked in to make sure everything was going well. The place had a nice vibe with good music, and the employees did a great job taking care of several parties at once. read more

Miss crispy rice is another great find in the coral gables area. It's decorated pink with cherry blossoms designs. A reservation is a must to get the best experience. But don't worry if you don't have one, they'll accommodate you. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The menu has a variety of options. I decided to get the dumplings with were good and hot. The sake is a must here and they have a good selection. I went for the flight since I wanted to try the different options. It was definitely a good choice. read more

The establishment is bright, clean, and tastefully decorated. The service is attentive but respectful of your experience. The food is fresh and fast with reasonable portion sizes and fantastic flavors. There's barely enough seating for 30 people, but most of it has a clear view of the sushi preparation area. There's paid parking for maybe 5 cars if the other businesses in the area are not being visited by anyone, once the construction clears. This is not really a place to bring children for any reason as far as I can tell. read more

Had a really great lunch here. The food was super tasty. We did the Miami spice menu. The eel crispy rice was definitely the best thing we ate. The salmon with chili crunch was also super delicious. While everything tasted good we felt that the food service / timing was very rushed. When we had asked about ordering a la carte items we were initially told that they didn't know if they would have time to offer that because the lunch seating is only one hour. After the meal was done they rushed taking the a la carte orders without giving us time to look at the menu and they were quite rude about taking the orders. They also don't have any non-alcoholic drinks listed on their drink menu. Honestly they should give themselves more of a buffer between seatings. The rushed feeling was not a great experience and took away from the amazing food. read more

This is a must go to spot! Easy 5 out of 5 review! Miss Crispy rice is a cozy 16 seat restaurant located just at the very end of Coral Gables. The staff is wonderful. The place is nice and trendy and you can go solo, like I did or with others. You'll fit right in. The Miami spice dinner was great and I was stuffed by the end of it all. I highly recommend sitting directly in front to catch in on the action. The music is so cool and I thought that added to the experience. Check out the pictures below and enjoy! read more

For Miss Crispy Rice's one-year anniversary, they hosted an incredible special event featuring 16 courses created by 16 different chefs and it was truly a memorable culinary experience. Many of the chefs were present to personally introduce their dishes, which added a thoughtful and engaging touch to the evening. Andrew Mayer, a co-founder, served as the moderator and guided us through the progression of courses, offering insights and context that elevated the experience even further. The event was intimate, with a small and enthusiastic group of guests, and every dish showcased creativity, flavor, and personality. This was my first visit to Miss Crispy Rice, and while the tasting event was exceptional, it definitely made me want to return to try their regular menu. If this experience is any indication, I'm sure it won't disappoint. read more

Had an amazing lunch and could not have asked for a better experience. Every course was better than the last and the Miami spice offering they have is an incredible value. The service was flawless from start to finish, we were never rushed and the meal was perfectly paced. I cannot wait to come back and try their other offerings. Definitely worth checking out, the scallop crispy rice is a must try but every single thing was delicious. read more

I had a chance to try miss crispy rice for the Miami spice special. We try to get in for lunch but they were all sold out so we ended up making on our Sunday reservation. Great idea because I am now stuffed and won't be moving from my couch for the rest of the night. The food was fresh and surprising with my favorite piece being one with citrus. explosion of flavor in my mouth. The dessert was also a highlight, super refreshing. Great for a date night, just make sure to have a reservation. read more

Yall! WOW. That's all I have to say about Miss Crispy Rice's omakase. We went for the 16 course and it was absolutely perfect. We left full, but not stuffed and it was a variety of dishes and flavors that all amounted to an amazing experience. Debra greeted us at the door and took care of us the rest of the time with refills and taking care of our every need. Miguel crushed it as the chef behind the counter. We had a great conversation with him and he & Debra explained every dish that was set before us. Miguel changed the handroll for my wife since she's allergic to shrimp, but it was still along the lines of the omakase and not a reach as a substitute for the during the courses. I would 100% come back and do this omakase again AND recommend it to my friends and family. read more

Amazing! From the moment we got there, the staff - including the owner, Andrew - ensured that we were taken care of. The seating before us were going over their time so we started off with drinks in the front entrance. Andrew made sure to let us know that we would be seated shortly, which we had no problem with. The food was incredible. We had the 12 course omakase for Miami Spice. From beginning to end, the taste and quality of the food exceeded our expectations. Andrew checked on us regularly and he made sure to go above and beyond for our first time experience. This included an exclusive menu item that did not disappoint. It took the entire experience to another level. Something about seeing an owner actively invested in the experience of all their customers means a lot. We were so impressed by this. You never see that nowadays and it really kicks the experience up a few notches when you can see the love the owner has for his establishment and for its patrons. It made us confident in the experience. Such an incredible experience from start to finish and definitely a 10/10 recommend. Must try! We will be back! read more

We came for the Miami Spice 9-course omakase lunch and prepaid for it, but left very disappointed. Service was rushed from the start. We had to ask for wine, no one offered another drink, and by 12:55 the server told me to finish my wine because they needed the table for a large party at 1pm. We felt pushed out in under 50 minutes. To make things worse, we only received 7 courses instead of the 9 we paid for. For a prepaid omakase, being rushed, underserved, and then hurried out the door was unacceptable. Definitely not the dining experience we expected. Food was ok but the service was probably the worst I've had in Miami read more

This small intimate restaurant in coral gables is super cute to come have an omakase experience with your partner or friends.

I went to miss crispy rice when it was in Wynwood for Miami Spice. I never had omakase, so my first experience having it was exceptional. I loved how intimate the location was and the service was great. The chef explained each dish that was presented to us. I was a little iffy because I didn't think the food was going to fill me up, but man was I wrong. I was stuffed by the end of the meal. I believe I had 12-13 courses. My favorite was the dessert! I couldn't get enough of it. I look forward to trying their new location read more

So turns out I wrote the below review for the wrong location - I was referring to the Wynwood location. However, I came back to this page because I went to this location last night and had a great experience. We did the Taste of Gables menu, which was an incredible price for the amount of food. I'll start off by saying we were seated 30 minutes after our reservation, and though the staff and chef were great about it, it was still 30 minutes late and knocked off a star in this review. They made up for it with a rare sparking sake, and that was kind of them. The chili truffle salmon and citrus hamachi appetizers were flavorful and delicious. The beef dumpling was ok, and the fish dumpling was good! Nothing special. What really stood out to me from the entire experience was the scallop on crispy rice topped with uni - that was the best bite I had all night and was really outstanding. The bonemarrow on the latke was so unique! That was a stand out as well. The tuna on crispy rice is a classic, and very flavorful. The corn miso soup was cozy and a good way to end the meal. The deessert with the shaved ice is refreshing, different, and I loved it. All in all, the menu was much more elevated in this experience than it was the first time I came here, and I appreciated that. For the price, you really can't beat it, and everything was fresh and tasty. read more

Had an awesome Miami Spice 10 course omakase lunch for $35 here today. It was great to not have to decide what to order and just enjoy the various textures and flavors of the food!! We had salmon crudo, 2 pork dumplings, 3 different crispy rice (scallop, Bluefin tuna poke & eel), a nigiri, a Japanese nigiri (torched salmon belly), a panko shrimp hand roll topped with egg tartar and yuzu drizzle, leek butter soup and pistachio gelato with salted yuzu topped with dark cherry shaved ice (OMG!) for dessert. Lunch and the service were both great! Thank you Miguel and our wonderful waitress who's name I didn't get. BTW, they open at 11:30 am for lunch not 12 noon! read more

Miss Crispy Rice is absolutely incredible! Andrew is amazing. From the moment you walk in he makes you feel special like a true VIP. He has such a passion for what he does and it shows in every detail. The chefs have wonderful personalities and the servers are beyond kind. If you ever have a question just ask Andrew. He loves to share how the dishes come together and can describe each type of fish with such pride and detail. It is clear how much thought, care, and love Andrew has poured into creating this restaurant and he should be extremely proud. The entire experience feels elevated yet welcoming, and you will leave feeling like royalty. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Go see Andrew, and he will treat you like a king or queen. read more

My friend and I came here for Taste of Gables Omakase special, which it includes 12 courses for $60. I was beyond impressed with the whole experience. We made reservation for the 4:30 pm dinner slot and when we arrived, the restaurant was empty. It felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. When we were seated they immediately gave us hooks to hang our purse. I loved this small gesture. Once we were seated, Chef Deborah started to make the courses and we started to eat right away. Everything was delicious and I would not change anything on the menu as everything went excellent together. This Omakase is non traditional as all the courses were not raw and fish based and I absolutely loved how different it was. The service was excellent. Chef Deborah explained every dish and converse with us even after we finished eating. As far as the ambiance, it was very clean and it felt intimate as it is a small place. I really liked the bar decoration. Overall, I absolutely loved the experience, especially seeing the tasty courses being prepared in front of us, and would come back in a heart beat. read more

omakase food and service lackluster next time I will stick to Japanese serving japanese

Miss Crispy Rice is a great sushi bar. Their Omakase menu is complete and has a few options to pick from, as well as the regular menu, which also has great dishes to order à la carte. We ordered 2 different Omakase and also from the menu to try some things that were not offered during the Omakase experience. Most omakase options were the same on both things we ordered. But 1 brought a few additional plates such as Wagyu robata style and some Wagyu nigiri. Service is fast and very attentive. Every dish is explained and nicely presented. The ambiance is very simple... not bad, just okay. Prices are on the lower side of other Omakase restaurants in Miami, but that doesn't mean that it is inexpensive. I would come back here and also recommend it to those who want to have a personalized Omakase experience. read more

I tried miss crispy rice on a Friday as it is located by the old eating house location. We walked but street parking is solid in the area. We did the eleven course meal for 70 dollars per person, which feels like a great deal. One thing I hate is that before, during or after, you never get to see the menu of what you will be served. We did eat the eleven courses and all 6 of us remained hungry. We ordered some extra rolls. I ordered a few of the signature hand rolls that came with toro and the wagyu meat that they overcook everytime. I ordered about 2 servings of 4 additional hand rolls and in addition to the 70 dollars per person, those additional hand rolls cost about 270 dollars. The quality is far from Uchi but the price is not. I found this to be very expensive and maybe not worth the cost. The service is solid and the owner is very nice read more

Excellent place to eat with family and friends. I like the preset menus that provide a culinary experience.

I have been wanting to try Miss Crispy Rice but it's a bit far from me. I took advantage of coming here during Miami Spice. They had a 13 course dinner for $60. Good but not great. First course started off strong. Tasty sashimi. Fresh and served chill on ice. The dumplings were the second course and my guest and I were both disappointed. Not good. Next few items were nigiri but on crispy rice. Had a spicy tuna and an eel. The issue is the crispy rice was too tall. We had a hard time and would have had a better experience if they were flatter. The fish roe on eel was unique though and I liked it. The next piece was scallop with a small taste of uni. The crispy rice took over the taste here. Again, the crispy rice can be more flatter so it isn't a dominant taste. Next we had regular nigiri on sushi rice. There was no sauce brushed on these so we didn't like that. Should have at least a soy sauce or wasabi. The handroll that we had next was a shrimp tempura roll. Didn't exactly fit with a nori sheet. We then tried a beef and egg rice bowl. Beef had good flavor. The miso soup that came next had too much stuff in it. My guest didn't like it. They didn't provide us with a spoon so it was hard to sip it when corn was sitting at the bottom of the bowl. Last, we had an ice cream that was nice and refreshing. We thought they took too much time in between each course. The staff is also not fixated on customer service. For my entire seating, we were all doing Miami Spice. It was prepaid and tip was already included on the booking. The service didn't seem like they were on it. But they got the job done. read more
