I had high expectations for this restaurant and, unfortunately, my initial dining experience didn't…read morequite live up to them. The food was good--I would recommend the Katsu Sando and the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice--but nothing we ordered stood out enough to make me want to return specifically for those dishes. The service was pleasant but average, not quite what I expected for a fine dining restaurant, especially while celebrating a special occasion. The rooftop ambiance and music were definitely the highlights of the evening. The biggest challenge was the heat. On a 97-degree Miami summer evening, none of the rooftop ceiling fans were working, which made dinner quite uncomfortable and took away from what should have been an enjoyable fine dining experience. I was also surprised by the cake-cutting fee and that we weren't allowed to serve an individually portioned dessert we had brought for our celebration. I think policies like these are best communicated when reservations are made so guests can plan accordingly. For special occasions, a little flexibility or offering an alternative solution can go a long way in making guests feel valued. That said, I want to recognize the restaurant's manager for the way my concerns were handled after my visit. Their response was thoughtful, professional, and sincere, and they made a genuine effort to make things right. That level of customer service speaks to a business that values its guests and is committed to continuous improvement. While my first visit wasn't the experience I had hoped for, I truly appreciate the way management addressed my feedback. Their professionalism has given me a much more positive impression of the restaurant, and I would be open to giving it another opportunity in the future.

Osaka Brickell: Extraordinary…read more My wife and I visited Osaka in Brickell, Miami, this evening--and I was so impressed that I rushed home to write this review. The Verdict In one word: extraordinary. We loved it. Restaurants often use the word "fusion" loosely, but at Osaka, it truly applies. The menu delivers Peruvian and Japanese fusion at its best: a thoughtful blend of South American and Japanese flavors, with each bite offering a beautifully engineered explosion of taste. Food The food is creative, beautifully presented, and genuinely unique--but Osaka offers much more than great dishes. Our server, Yesenia, guided us with recommendations that balanced our preferences with the restaurant's signature flavors, including a remarkably fresh sashimi amuse-bouche, Kiiro ceviche, a Hongos Teppan trumpet mushroom dish that was not listed on the menu, and a Nikkei Makimono that brought Peruvian flavors into a traditional sushi roll. The restaurant manager, Miki, also checked in during our meal. The service was casual, attentive, and perfect. Ambiance is paid to every detail. We ate at the sushi bar, but the main dining area was spectacular, and the bar area was sublime. Lastly, the music was a combination (fusion) of new age, Peruvian jungle music and Japanese sounds all blended into a crescendo on the experience. Try it....you'll love it. Ten out of ten !

Service was very lackluster, which is surprising to me because there are so few tables. Was constantly waiting for more water and trying to get our waiter's attention. The handroll adjacent concept should invite you to try a few and order more if you're still hungry but it takes SOOO long to get the rolls out so you really can't go that route.

The cortado at the end of the meal was some of the best Cuban coffee in Miami. Needless to say, we will be back every trip!!

The highlight for me was definitely the wagyu slider--hands down the best slider we've ever had. I'm usually not a big fan of burgers or sliders, but this one completely changed my mind. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The wagyu tataki was also excellent, tender and well-balanced in flavor. The sashimi and seafood were incredibly fresh, which is always a must for us, and Novikov did not disappoint. The dim sum selection was outstanding--each dish was crafted with care and packed with flavor. And the desserts? Easily some of the best we've had compared to other premium buffets--beautifully presented and delicious. What truly elevated the experience was the service. It was attentive, warm, and made us feel genuinely special throughout the brunch. As a lovely birthday surprise, my wife received a hat as a gift and got to choose her favorite--she picked the red one, which made the brunch even more memorable.

This is one of the cutest sushi spots in Wynwood, more specifically- handrolls! I've been here…read moretwice and I think it's so awesome for a chill dinner date with friends. This place is not hard to find although technically tucked away. There is plenty of street parking and when you walk in, you can't miss it because there isn't too many other things in the area so it's one of few. Once you enter, you're met with a lowlight, chill, and easygoing ambience. The host greets you seated at the bar/high-table. Then, the staff take care of you from there. There is a menu with a pencil in which you mark what you want, sort of like dim sum restaurants. Once handed to them, they start making your order - feeding you as they make it, one by one. All is delicious. You can't go wrong with any item. Side note: Reservations are important because there is very limited seating.

This was my first hand roll bar experience, and it was a memorable one. The service was incredible,…read morethe ambiance was top-notch, and it genuinely made me feel like I was out of town in the best way. Every roll was better than the last, and I loved how quickly everything came out. The beer and sake were both excellent. The only thing that felt a little uncomfortable was that there was a woman walking behind the bar every 10 minutes or so, seemingly inspecting everything. I'm not sure if she was checking on guests or keeping track of table turnover, but with such a small space it felt a bit awk. My biggest criticism is the portion size. Don't expect to come here starving and leave completely full. Even after spending over $300 for 2, I honestly felt like I could have eaten 10 more rolls. Overall, it was a great experience with outstanding food, service, and atmosphere.

It's located on the bottom level of the River Landing complex. Tanuki is absolutely beautiful inside and outside. The patio overlooks the Miami river. Benjamin was our awesome server. We started with refreshing martinis, the best salmon tacos ever & gyoza. Everything was so fresh & flavorful. Everything came out in great timing too. We then both ordered a roll, I had the Black Dragon & my daughter had the Fuego. When they bring out your sushi, they flame it at your table. The sushi was so fresh and delicious, I wanted more. Instead of a second roll, we ordered another round of salmon tacos. I'll be dreaming of those. I'm so glad we chose Tanuki, the experience and delicious cuisine turned our evening around. I highly recommend if you're in the area!

Very insta worthy! Service was great. Our server was lovely and up beat and gave us suggestions. Every single dish we tried was delicious and lots of flavor. I love that it had a very decent size menu without it feeling overwhelming. I am ready to go back to try other items. The parking is two hours free in the parking garage which is an insane perk for Miami standards. Can't wait to go back!

The presentations were all so beautiful. Along with the presentation, the flavors were wonderful - ingredients tasted very fresh and the combination of flavors felt very well thought out.

I'd highly recommend this spot for an elevated dinner, especially if you are a fan of Peruvian food. This place does a lovely job of honoring it!

I rolled the dice and chose MAYU, a Peruvian restaurant located on the outskirts of Brickell. As soon as we walked into the restaurant the host was super welcoming. We got sat and immediately got greeted by our server ALEXANDER who happened to be a key element in our food experience. Many might overlook his presence as people are trying to look at the menu and figure out what they want to eat, but if you pay close attention the server, he will guide you to the best food experience you will ever encounter. Food we had in order: 1. Ceviche Classico 100/100 ( my husbands rating) 2. Ceviche del barrio 10/10 3. Acevichado roll 10/10 4. Hotate Parma without cream cheese 10/10 5. Pulpo anticuchero 10/10 (the octopus was so tender and delicious 6. Lomo saltado 10/10 ( amazing tender meat) must have !! Just as we were getting ready to leave we met Santiago, the manager and I asked him, "Why don't you have a Michelin star?!?!?" My mind was blown by how delicious and beautiful this food was. I wish them the best. This is truly a place to come and enjoy amazing Peruvian food. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. If you're a local here, DO NOT WALK PAST THIS ESTABLISHMENT. A special thanks to Alexander who made our experience amazing by explaining every dish and making us feel as if we were dining at his home. Would love a MAYU in LA.
