Stopped by for happy hour (daily from 3:30-6:30 PM) and this spot was sooooo mf good. It's really cute inside clean, calm, and aesthetically pleasing. 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™ read more

Omakai was a great sushi stop in the heart of Wynwood. Clean restaurant, plenty of seating, and even the bathroom passed the clean test. 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. read more

We got the Oma deluxe experience and loved. For only 40$ you get an extremely filling omakase Pros: - delicious food - very good value for your money especially for omakase almost unheard of - very filling with different options depending on how hungry you are and what you are in the mood for - casual and amazing welcoming staff. - we were afford sake on the house to celebrate our anniversary!! Cons: - more like a restaurant where they bring you the plates, you don't see the chef preparing them - fresh but I've had higher quality omakase but definitely not at this price. I for sure would definitely come back because of the value!! read more

Big fan of Omakai! This was my first time at the Wynwood location and as anticipated, it did not disappoint! The freshest tasting sushi at great prices in my opinion. If you happen to go during happy hour, they have great food and drink deals that you just cannot beat anywhere else. I did try the unagi foie gras for the first time and it was delicious! I will def be getting that every time I go. I didn't catch his name, but our server was extremely polite and helpful, which always makes the visit that much better! I was so hungry I forgot to take pics! read more

OMAKAI sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Came here with my sister and her husband. I had read about this place a couple days earlier and loved that they had omakase offerings. Of course, I had to try their Omakai Experience and it was well worth it!!! Each course was super fresh, and the pace was just right. Great drink selections, and the staff were polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. Overall, the setting was very comfortable, spotless, and the music volume was just right - no harsh loudness here! One of the things that is important to me is to have the sound be at the right level - we could have a great conversation without having to compete with other diners or the soundtrack, which I must admit was really great music - kudos to whomever made the playlist! Really loved the evening and will be sure to return the next time I am in the 305. read more

If you're in Miami and NOT going to Omakai... what are you even doing? I booked the Oma Deluxe experience after randomly finding Omakai on the DoorDash app under the Reservations tab (yes, DoorDash came through!). Honestly, best accidental discovery ever. From the moment I sat down, the vibe was warm, modern, and effortlessly cool--special but never pretentious. And then came the real magic... the food. Every piece of nigiri was like a tiny poem. The texture, the freshness, the balance--chef's kiss doesn't even begin to describe it. At one point I swear I closed my eyes and forgot I had real-world responsibilities. The staff deserves their own spotlight. Friendly, patient, and clearly passionate, they made the entire night feel like an experience rather than just a meal. That kind of energy? Rare. Omakai nails it. I'm traveling from NJ and now Omakai is officially on my must-visit list every time I'm in Miami. If you want an omakase experience that's fun, flavorful, and unforgettable, run--don't walk--to Omakai. Your taste buds will send you a thank-you note. read more

We found this place to have a great date night in a Wednesday night. We were looking for a place with rolls, and I was kinda bummed they don't have rolls (except hand rolls); however.. decides to try it out. DID NOT DISSAPPOINT. Let's start with parking, Wednesday night very easy working in front with mobile app. Weekends might be full since I know wynwood is very popular. We were seated immediately. For a Wednesday late night the place still had a couple tables with people. Logan was our server, what an amazing experience he delivered. Offered recommendations, ask what we usually liked, and he was 100% on point. We tried a variety of nigiri and we couldn't stop ordering. The freshness of fish is delightful. Melts in your mouth. Flavors very well paired to deliver an exquisite experience. . read more

Another great experience dining here for my friends bday. We were supposed to go somewhere else but convinced them this was better. They were not disappointed either! We got welcome shots for the bday girl but I don't drink. I'm happy they had non alcoholic option for me (peach Bellini). It was refreshing and peachy. Service has always been very good every time I've gone. read more

Once again, Yelp? Please, will you introduce half-stars? I'd give 4.5. And being on the fence, thinking back on the times that I have been to Omakai, I have to give 4. Here is the thing: If you like those "fancy specialty rolls" where you pay essentially for cream cheese (what is with Miami and putting cream cheese in everything? Cream cheese isn't an ingredient in Japanese cuisine...) and tempura flakes with eel sauce and "spicy mayo," this NOT the place for you! There are no rolls here, really! This place is for the truly experienced (or adventurous) sushi eaters who want a more traditional sushi experience. I have been here for happy hour (GREAT happy hour!), the Omakai deluxe, OMA and the Omakai Experience. Fish is melt-in your mouth fresh and there are tasting pairings that you will NOT FIND at other sushi restaurants. They offer unique types of fish (Japanese uni, for example). I legitimately dream about the blue crab handroll in a sweet miso mayo. SO. GOOD. It has ruined any other crab handroll at any other establishment for me. The deluxe is a filling course of first an appetizer that changes seasonally. I have been served most often the seaweed salad, which is good, but nothing out of the world special. Next come the sashimis, which again change occasionally. I love the sashimi in ponzu, which is also offered on happy hour. I also save some of the wakame leaves (the flat ones that are found in miso soup) that had accompanied the seaweed salad (the typical, rehydrated, pickled with sesame seeds wakame stems) and dip the leaves into the ponzu to eat. Yummmm. The nigiri special and sashimi specials are always a bit different and usually are topped or paired with different ingredients to accompany the fresh fish texture and subtle flavor sushi lovers crave. For example, ponzu or a sheaf of shishito leaf between fish and rice on the nigiri. One of my favorite nigiris of all time is the sake toro (salmon belly) lightly torched and topped with a touch of pickled chopped daikon with truffle. YES. TRUFFLE. Another favorite of mine is the tuna tasting, in which one of the nigiri tastings is chopped tuna, but not super fine, topped with different type of pickled veggies and wrapped in nori. OMAKAI EXPERIENCE: I had wanted to try this for forever! 1. Began with two oysters and one nigiri with caviar and a pickled quail egg yolk. The oysters were great and topped with a Japanese-style accoutrements. The nigiri was quite good, although the quail egg overpowered the taste a bit, but the caviar added the best "pop!" texture to the fresh fish and creamy yolk. 2. The palate cleanser: one of my favorite and something I would have NEVER thought to be together as a dish! The bottom was soft silken tofu, topped with UNI and ikura, all in a small martini-glass. Oh. MY. GOD!!! Silken tofu, with the slightly more dense, sweet and umami uni and then a salty, pop of ikura for texture. TO. DIE. FOR. 3. A sashimi came out and ... I honestly do not remember the dish or name of fish because of the complexity of ingredients and the fish was not one I'd tried before ever. One of those types of fish that is specifically found at Omakai and other high end sushi restaurants rather than the usual "salmon," "tuna," "escolar" or "yellowtail" (not that there is anything wrong with those cuts but the Omakai experience provided those rare species of nigiri!). 4. This is perhaps one of my favorites: wagyu carpaccio with sliced onions marinated in ponzu and topped with a few stems of fresh chive. WOW! One would worry that the ponzu would overpower the wagyu, but it cut through the soft richness of the wagyu perfectly to accompany the wagyu and bring out its natural, rich flavor and texture as a highlight. PERFECTLY balanced. 5. Next was a flight of 3 nigiris. Sea bream, um...crap, I do not remember, but it is not because it was not good! There were just many components to each dish and about 9 dishes in total! 6.) Next was also one of my favorite dishes. I know I have said that 3 times so you know how good this tasting was! It was black cod, cooked PERFECTLY, ontop of pickled cabbage slaw and topped with a miso butter. I. I literally melted. The fish was cooked PERFECTLY, and the miso on top was just enough to again bring out the texture and subtle flavor of the fish. The slaw I could have done without. It had no flavor and I was expecting an acidity and crunch which would have rounded out the dish texture and flavor wise- but the fish and miso was so good I do not care about the immperfection 7. 4 nigiris, one including saltwater eel, a first for me. 8. Last was the most disappointing- vanilla gelato. A let down to the meal and I wanted a hand roll! All in all, great place. I'd write more but twice had to re-edit my review because I hit the max characters!!! read more

We stopped by after a night out in wynwood and they sat us right away as a walk in! This place is beautiful, but small, but intimate. We sat right at the bar. The staff is so kind from the waitress, to the server, to the food runner. I ordered the oma omakase. It started with an appetizer (they gave edamame with thick salt crystals, yum). Then they did their sashimi special with caramelized onions. Bonus points for giving two huge sides of ginger. The experience continued with: Kanpachi Nigiri Salmon Nigiri Yellowtail Nigiri Bluefin Tuna Nigiri And ended with 2 hand rolls (their special i believe it was salmon, and then a blue crab one). We had a great overall experience. There are better tasting sushi spots in my opinion but the service and ambiance make this a great place! read more

If you think you've had great omakase before, think again - Omakai Sushi completely blew us away. We came here for our anniversary dinner, and as former NYC residents, we don't say this lightly: this was one of the best omakase experiences we've ever had. Every course was exceptional - fresh, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully curated. Right in the middle of it all was Kathy, our waitress, who truly elevated the entire evening. My fiancé has celiac disease, and Kathy was incredibly knowledgeable and proactive, making accommodations seamlessly so my fiancé could enjoy the experience with as few modifications as possible. Alongside her, Logan - who was assisting as a runner - was also exceptional. He was extremely polite, just as knowledgeable about celiac considerations, and consistently made sure everything flowed smoothly. The level of care and attention from both Kathy and Logan made the entire experience feel effortless and genuinely special. Between the incredible sushi and standout service, this was an unforgettable night. Highly recommend - 10/10. read more

This place is definitely more casual than other places that offer omakases, and I did not realize it's not a true style omakase where you're sitting at a sushi counter - they bring you the courses one by one still! With that said, $50 for about 8 nigiri, 2 hand rolls, and an appetizer is fairly priced. The sashimi special and bluefin nigiri were my favorites. The sushi rice was not what I expected either... it didn't have that sticky texture you'd expect. I liked how they didn't put a huge amount of rice per bite. You still leave very full! Service was good too. Next time I'd probably just check out happy hour and call it a day. read more

+.5 for service This was my group's first meal after arriving in Miami from Toronto. Since it was Christmas Day, not many places are open, but this was! We were a party of 5, and after going thru the menu and looking at reviews here we decided on 4 OMA Deluxes and some a la carte options to fill the 5th party. Each of the OMA Deluxe items were amazing, and the servers will explain exactly what's included in each of the dishes. You honestly get excellent value out of the $50 you pay, even if the portions are on the smaller size. Sucks that the exchange rate is so bad for us Canadians right now. The hand rolls in particular were amazing, it's not like the typical cone-shaped hand rolls that many are accustomed to. Service was excellent here. Overall an excellent introduction meal for my group for our first night in Florida. read more

Always a staple, always consistent. A Miami institution at this point. Karina is great & suggested the soba and sesame dressing. It blew me away & truly this needs to be an a la carte item!!! read more

The attention to detail is so thorough and wonderful. It was truly an experience for multiple senses. It smelled really nice inside, the greeters were very pleasant and it is decorated well. The presentation of the utensils was careful and purposeful. The chopsticks and holder were so cute that I considered theft, but that wouldn't be very neighborly of me. (Although I believe the chopsticks were perfectly fine to take as they're wood and that seems a bit unsanitary to reuse, but please correct me if I'm wrong). I tried a green apple sake that was so fresh, refreshing and mildly sweet. I don't typically enjoy sake but this changed my mind. I had the opportunity to sample multiple flavors and green apple was a front runner. The salmon sashimi came with a pickled onion that paired so well. I'd never had it like that and now I don't know if I can have it any other way. The portions are pretty small so be prepared for that. Standard sushi pricing with smaller than average portions. Might be a Miami thing. The miso soup was delightful and it's served traditionally so you are not provided a spoon initially but you are able to request one. The tuna was fresh and delicious. They gave three cuts from different areas of the dish and you get to taste the difference between the leaner cuts and the fattier cuts. read more

OMAKAI sushi - First course of the Omakase summer special - absolutely delicious! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I stopped by OMAKAI sushi for dinner. The restaurant is fairly small but there is enough room to get by other tables and be comfortable in your own space. The menu has both omakase options and à la carte options. In terms of the omakase options there are 3 different tiers. I ended up going the second tier and at this tier they were able to accommodate for a shellfish and sesame allergy which was very much appreciated. Each items tasted very good and very fresh. The presentation of each piece was very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I would recommend OMAKAI for a casual meal, a date night or anything in between. The sushi is good, the staff are friendly and they can accommodate for certain allergies which can be hard to find at an omakase restaurant. read more

I will always say yes whenever someone mentions eating at Omakai Wynwood. This restaurant always hits on every front. The service, the food and the drinks are always phenomenal. What's better is that it is AFFORDABLE. In a day and age where everything is expensive, they serve up different tiers of omakase that are well worth your money and you don't have to save up months to enjoy it. It's a super chill and vibey atmosphere as well. We got the Deluxe Omakase this time around. Will always come back here. read more

Stopped in at Omakai Sushi around 9 p.m. on a Friday with my wife, just looking to enjoy a quick sushi roll each. We were promptly approached by the hostess and told we couldn't be served because a party of 10 was coming an hour later. I explained we would only order one roll each and be gone well before then, but was told she'd need to get approval from the chef first. It's a shame that locals can't pop into a downtown sushi spot without feeling snubbed. The whole interaction came across as snobbish and priority-driven, as if we weren't worth seating because we wouldn't be running up a big bill. Unfortunately, this left a bad taste in my mouth. I had high expectations for Omakai, but the experience was unwelcoming and disappointing. I won't be returning. read more
