Traveled to miami for the weekend and was craving sushi. This place had the best reviews/ambiance in Brickell, so made a reservation and came here for dinner. Love the decor inside. Dimly lit, yet modern. All of the food we got was delicious. My favorite was the crispy rice and the scallops that were torched tableside. Favorite drink was definitely the lychee martini. Amazing. Was a little had to find the entrance because it's tucked behind a parking lot, but definitley want to come back! read more

Beautifully designed, you walk through a Shinto inspired shine resembling entrance, a very pure Japanese experience. Hostesses were efficient, a little delayed from my start time but got me seated within a reasonable time. Our server was very kind, almost perfect but could have been a little more attentive with water fillings and checking in. Overall consensus was the food was spectacular but perhaps expensive for the quality you get. The sushi quality was fresh and tasty (I got the truffled scallops nigiri and the miso inspired roll). To be fair, you're paying for location and ambiance too, so all n all I felt it fair. I'd recommend and return! read more

Love love this restaurant! Everything - food, vibe, and service - was perfect! And their happy hour is such a good deal too! For anyone who loves sweet drinks, I recommend the passionfruit martini. Their california roll is delicious, and their veggie roll is actually the best veggie roll I've ever had. The spicy edamame is great as an appetizer too! If I lived closer, I'd be visiting for happy hour all the time! read more

On our way back from the Keys, I used the trusty YELP app to find this most amazing sushi spot. Started with a lychee martini and it was telling of the rest to come. Highly recommend the Black cod bites and Waygu gyoza for starters! I ordered the Paper tuna roll and again, awesome! The light citrus style sauce brightened up the dish perfectly! My husband ordered the spicy tuna roll and it was also delicious (I liked mine better...) we finished off the meal with a chai crème brûlée and cappuccino which was fantastic! We had Nicole as our server and she was very sweet and provided fast yet unhurried service. It was lunchtime so it was a little busy but still nice and quiet enough to carry on a conversation. We highly recommend this spot if you're ever in the Miami area! read more

I was wandering down Brickell, half lost in thought, when a soft glow caught my eye. A paper lantern swayed gently above a sleek entrance, its warm light spilling onto the sidewalk like a quiet invitation. Stepping inside felt like crossing into another world. The chatter of the street faded, replaced by the rhythmic chop of knives and the melodic hum of conversation. The air carried a delicate perfume fresh tuna, toasted sesame, and the faintest hint of yuzu. My seat at the sushi bar became a front-row ticket to a performance chefs in crisp whites moving with the precision of artists, each slice and torch flame deliberate and beautiful. I started with the signature nigiri buttery salmon that melted before my mind could catch up with the flavor. Then came the Paperfish Roll, a masterpiece wrapped in soy paper, crowned with sweet mango and drizzled with truffle ponzu. It was bright, velvety, and electric all at once the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes and forget where you are. The bartender slid me a glass of sake, chilled to perfection and told me the story of Paperfish Sushi. A place built not just for dining, but for moments where Miami's heartbeat meets Japanese precision. I realized then, this wasn't just sushi it was a love letter to flavor, atmosphere, and experience. I left that night with the lantern's glow still lingering in my mind, knowing I had stumbled upon a place worth telling everyone and their mom's mom about Paperfish Sushi. read more

WOW! What a great experience. Been trying to come here for sometime and the stars never aligned till this trip. Service was spot on and the food was an orgasmic experience. A hidden gem with everything to make you want to come back. read more

very pretty restaurant that reminds me very much of Japan from many cherry blossom trees to the orange gates (fox temple in kyoto) we had the PaperFish bento sets that are served with miso soup, 4 pcs tuna rolls, 3 pcs salmon aburi (torched salmon, truffle oil, lime zest), house salad, and pork+shrimp gyoza 2pcs and the chirasi poke bowl :) that comes with salmon, tuna, hamachi with edamame, avocado, cucumber served with soy truffle service was really quick, staff was so friendly and helpful read more

First off the entrance to the restaurant set the mood. Once you come the decor of the place is very nice. We made a reservation just incase it was full, and it was when we arrived. The waitress was very nice she explained the popular dishes and we tried most of them. They were all amazing. Overall it was very nice place we will return for sure. read more

Came here for a quick sushi date w/ my bestie. Paperfish definitely exceeded our expectations. The food tastes amazing and fresh and the quality is top tier. I tried nigiri for the first time and their 'salmon furai' nigiri is a 10/10 . I had a blueberry lemon drop martini and a lychee martini. Both drinks were strong and the presentation was so cute. Very pleasing and beautiful aesthetics/decor. Our server was very attentive and even the runners were sweet and helpful. Definitely would came back and maybe try their happy hour! read more

Tried the happy hour and it was great! The food has decent number of options for $7-$8 the plate, pf course is a happy hour portion that is smaller but adequate to try many small bites. The drinks are also good and tasty and in regular size. Would definitely go back. Parking is not as easy in the area so it depends on what your budget is, street parking is more difficult to find than flat rate garages. read more

Was in Miami for work and my friend recommended that I check out Paperfish, said it was one of her favorite spots. It's really cool in there, love the vibe and decor. I also love the Japanese style entrance with the Torii - nice touch! We sat at the bar and ordered a beer and wine to start. We got the crispy rice which was okay, I didn't like the texture actually. I've had better.then we shared the omakase because we wanted a little bit of either. It's a perfect size for 2 people! Presentation is also just wow! So pretty. Everything was really delicious. Wasn't the biggest fan of the scallop but the fatty tuna, hamachi, ceviches... all fantastic. Clean cuts, fresh, good quality sushi. Nice spot! read more

My friend suggested a girls' night out and recommended this place--I'm so glad she did! The ambiance was very chill, and although it was a bit far from home, it was such a nice, relaxing spot. Now, the food... absolutely amazing. When something is simple, it should be done exceptionally well, and this place nailed it. The quality and freshness of the ingredients really came through in every bite. Between the refreshing drinks, delicious food, and friendly service, it was a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Love love this place! I have been wanting to go back since the last time we went! I went during happy hour again, there has been some change to the menu but nothing major! Parking is so hard there , i did valet right in front of the restaurant but not related to the restaurant for $15 Drink: I had two lychee martini, so so good! Very strong. My friend had a passion fruit martini and it was not as good! Food: The sushi is really good there! Really freshh. My friend ordered the miso soup (not pictured) and it was really good. I had a gyoza (not pictured) it was good, the sauce is really good. Ambiance & Service; When we arrived, it was very quiet and then it got really busy. Joana was a server, she was very nice, ready to assist! She did make a few errors on our order but nothing big. Overall her service was amazing. Price; Our total for sushi and drinks that were on happy hour for two people came out to be $119 including an 18% surcharge that I'm not always a fan of but inflating is at an all time high so i guess i understand! I would say it was pretty expensive but the decor and service made up for it i guess‍ Maybe adding parking somewhere or complimentary valet would be really nice! read more

This place was amazing! I heard about this place from my hotel and snagged a late reservation. Even as a solo dinner- it was great. The host was super nice in accommodating my request for a table and the staff was friendly! I got to aviccido roll which didn't live up to the hype but it was still really good. I was just expecting to be blown away by how others talked about the roll and it wasn't the case. The shisito peppers were delicious and the miso cod was divine! Even better than the other place where it's famous in my opinion. read more

Paperfish has a really cool vibe and we were happy to stumble upon on it on our layover. We were surprised to get a table on a Friday night but we arrived just early enough to get a table. The restaurant filled up shortly after. Our server was very nice and really helpful. One in our party has a gluten allergy, and our server was happy to make recommendations on gluten free options or adjusting certain recipes so she could enjoy them too. The menu is family style so you order for the table. There were four in our party. We ordered two apps, 3 items from the menu, and the omakase for the table. Our server said the omakase was for two, but we thought it was plenty for 3-4. Overall, it was the perfect amount for our table. The sushi is some of the best I've had in a long time. Additionally, the cocktails are great. We enjoyed some of the house recipes as well as a spicy margarita off-menu. All were delish! There are even a couple mocktails on the menu, though I found them very sweet. I would have loved a tart option (no-jito?) or something more savory/spicy (like ginger). read more

Wow. Usually I don't write a bad review but this experience warrants at least a manager to review what is going on. They did not ask us for Acqua Panna but kept refilling our waters with it. We figured maybe they just refilled their water with tap in Acqua Panna bottles since it was not Acqua Panna. But no, they charged us. If you DO order Acqua Panna, please make sure they open it in front of you. Not sure why some items were on happy hour and others were not as we ordered everything at the same time. Food was mediocre and as good as a mainstream generic sushi place. I expected more from Miami but this was very disappointing. I generally do not write bad reviews or if I do, I still give 5 stars but if this review can deter possible customers from coming here, I hope it does. Sorry bro. This restaurant sucked. read more

Good food, service, and ambiance. I went for happy hour, which I recommend if you're in a sampling mood. But the portions aren't super tiny so you could still get full. Some of my friends ordered mojitos and they also enjoy them. The cake was no standout though,and the bananas definitely could have been left out. read more

Stumbled across PaperFish after scouting to find a nice "girls day" happy hour spot. Finally settled on PaperFish and boy aren't we glad we did! First off the deals are pretty good (7 dollar rolls, select 7 dollar cocktails, etc.) Rolls were super good! I wouldn't go as far to say the absolute best I've ever had in my entire life, but they were still great and super tasty all the same! Loved how it paired with the soy sauce and the presentation. I also recommend topping it with the wasabi added a nice kick to the dish that was spicy but not too much where I felt overwhelmed or like I was fighting for my life . Just a heads up the hamachi jalapeño roll is surprisingly not spicy at all (and my spice tolerance is low). Only downside was that although everything was yummy, we definitely still walked out a little hungry. So happy hour portions weren't big or filling, but it's definitely enough for a light bite to pair with cocktails. Cocktail was very nicely crafted! I was super impressed. Presentation was also good. Service was definitely great! Our server was Maydel and she was super quick/efficient and suggestive! Ambiance is also perfect! Place is super cute from the entrance to the inside. Not too noisy or crowded or overstimulating. It was actually perfect for what we needed which was an intimate girls night. Definitely will be returning at some point and would definitely recommend. read more

Beautiful restaurant, attentive service, but the food was only ok. My friends and I checked out their happy hour. We ordered a lychee martini, whiskey sour, and a dragon mule. My fave was the dragon mule - it was a beautiful pink color and refreshing. For snacks we had their pork & shrimp gyoza, miso shishitos, chef's sashimi, and tiradito apasionado. My fave were the miso shishito peppers. Everything on their HH menu was $7.95 which was a cool way to get an afternoon snack in. I probably wouldn't return, as nothing was outstanding, but we're glad we gave this place a try. read more

Paperfish was on my list before ever coming to Miami. And they did not disappoint. We easily got a reservation for an early dinner on a Monday night. Our server was great and gave us suggestions from both the happy hour and regular menus. She was attentive and kept our glasses filled. Everything was really good. The fish is fresh. Here are the stars of the night. The wagyu bao buns are fabulous. The bun is soft, beef was soft with a crunchy outside and the sauce is not overpowering. The black cod bites on the appetizer menu were amazing. The cod was perfectly cooked. With a little squeeze of lime, they were perfect. Last, the acevichado roll was one I saw reviewed on Yelp and everyone was right. The light crunch of the shrimp and the sauce were great. Inside was nice. The sound with the music was hard for my husband to hear everything the server was saying. But didn't take away from the great experience. Well worth every penny spent. read more

Paperfish Sushi while being a beautiful restaurant, honestly fell short for us. The service was fast which was a plus, but the food and drinks weren't nearly as good as other sushi places we've been to. The reviews for this place really hyped them up. Walking in, the restaurant is very nice looking. We were visiting from Houston, and came in for happy hour. Almost everything on the happy hour menu, drinks and food, was only $7.95 which is a great deal. The problem was both the drinks and food was good at best. Everything was underwhelming. We tried their dragon mule, whiskey sour, lychee martini, chef's sashimi, miso shishito, gyoza, and their tiradito apasionado. The drinks while they had a generous heavy pour, were just not balanced flavor wise. The food was good, just nothing really stood out. For how nice the restaurant is, the food didn't live up to expectations. Overall, I'd give Paperfish another chance, but keep my expectations lower. I don't know if it was an off day, or just because we only ordered off the happy hour menu. Cheers. read more

Paperfish is one of my favorites places in brickell. The combination of fresh delicious seafood and a very cute pink forward ambiance inside gives you the high scale dining experience without needing to wear a suit and tie. The staff is always so kind and helpful with recommendations. While not the most vegetarian friendly menu in town you can still find things to enjoy if you are looking to dodge seafood entirely. One of my favorite dishes is actually the miso soup. It's very simple yet flavorful and a great appetizer before you get to the main course. I also really love the inside / outdoor option. If it wasn't so hot out I would have definitely preferred to sit outside, but the inside was still a great atmosphere. read more

There were two bugs on my indoor table when I arrived. Then I found a worm-like bug in my soy sauce bowl, and when they replaced it, the new bowl also had a bug in it. They acted like it was normal and didn't apologize. Disgusting and seriously concerning. It made the place feel infested, and I would not eat here again. read more

Ultra hip sushi in Brickell. Four stars -- not as a criticism, but because there are TRUE five star sushi experiences around Miami (at much higher price points to be sure). Fun, buzzy room with house music and outdoor area (where we sat). Attentive service that had the same hipness (in a good way) as the whole place. The crispy rice tuna and salmon appetizers were awesome. We worked our way (slowly) through the nigiri, trying their scallop, their wagyu beef, and a couple of others before finishing off with their five-hand-roll plate -- all relatively small and all delicious. The also offer their version of omakase, which was really the chef's choice served all at once with a lot of fanfare with dry ice or sparklers or something that seemed out of place for an otherwise pretty cool and pretty good sushi place -- it was sushi-joint meets TGIFriday's for this diner. Pricier than the run of the mill sushi bar -- you wouldn't order from here for take out -- but good food and a fun night. read more

It's giving Peruvian sushi, which is a nice and common fusion I've been seeing! The sushi portions and smaller than usual ;cut smaller so it fits nicely in your mouth which is nice! Interior and exterior was very nice! I will say it took a bit to find the restraunt because we took an uber and got dropped off, the gps said it was in a parking lot but we eventually found it. I would more so recommend this place during happy hour to take advantage of the drink deals! They do great drinks and service is awesome! Sushi itself for me is 3.5/5 for me! Nothing great but still a lovely time! read more

Food- misuna roll was very good. Sweet and savory. Salmon tasted buttery and fresh. The hamachi was a little dry and not their best batch, which I was a little disappointed about. Drinks- stick to the martinis and classic drinks, that's what they do well. Service- friendly and fast. Ambiance- super cute place. Good music and vibes. Great for any occasion. Location- in the heart of Brickell. You can jump around anywhere afterwards. Parking- take an Uber :) read more

4.5/5 overall The service could have been a little better for the price, but then again when gratuity is included it doesn't really matter to them I guess. We were sat outside because the indoor dining room was apparently full or required a reservation. This was on a Monday. Since we were visiting we decided to stay and try it out anyway. I'm so glad we did! The food was so delicious. We had a few items from the menu. From the signature nigiri, a piece of Asana ($8). P.F. Bao Buns - Wagyu ($16) and Ishiyaki del Mar ($19) from the Zenzai section of the menu. That ishiyaki had a great presentation. The flavor was top two of the night. What stole the show was the Acevichado sushi roll ($19). So good we ordered it twice. I honestly want to go back just to order more! It's 100% what you should get if you go to Paperfish. To drink we ordered the Hana Awaka sparkling sake for $23. I didn't realize how small the bottle was. Overall good experience and I plan to return. read more

Had a great time here, even with our 1 year old! Our server Richard was incredibly warm, attentive, and accommodating of a dairy allergy, making sure to bring our kiddo veggies she could eat and keeping her veggie rolls separate from items that contained dairy. Love the mini torii gates leading up to the entrance & the decor. Being from Seattle, we have high standards for seafood and our meal met all of them. Nigiri and sashimi were very fresh & all the garnishes added great flavor. Black cod lettuce cups were perfectly cooked and delicious. Definitely would be coming here often if we were local! Plus, just steps away from the monorail. read more

Paperfish Sushi - This was the only thing on the menu. The food was disappointing and very basic. Basic flavors and not very good - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

We ordered the Lychee martini and the Wasabi martini, both were 10/10!! Expertly balanced I can't say that enough!! For appetizers we ordered the ceviche sampler which consisted of their classic, tuna and smoked fish. All were amazing but my favorite was the tuna! Although not very traditional, it was a nice addition to break up the flavors of the others. Next we had 2 pieces of the Maguro-fooe nigiri, Hotruffle nigiri and Wagyu-ni nigiri. We also had the paper tuna roll - I didn't love this one considering it was their namesake roll. It was missing something for sure. We were still hungry so we opted for 2 pieces of the Ebi San nigiri and the salmon aburi. These had to be our favorite bites of the night!! We also ordered the hamachi jalapeño roll which was my favorite. Everything was super fresh, service was attentive but a bit rushed. I made a reservation and they tried to stick us at this little table literally against a wall and sandwiched between 2 similar tables. I asked to be moved. Sorry but when someone takes the time to make a reservation, you should be giving them preferable seating. Lost the star for me in addition to the rushed service when we specifically asked for courses to be separated. If it can't be accommodated that way, then communicate it. read more

Was in Miami for an overnight before a cruise. Saw this place on Yelp and thought we'd give it a go. First, this place is tucked away from the street, almost a speakeasy feel about it. Great decor and friendly staff. The unique drink menu has something for everyone. The food was excellent. We ordered short ribs, a few rolls, fried rice and a few appetizers. Portions are on the small side, but the quality was amazing. The cost is worth every penny. read more

Looking for a cute date spot or group dining restaurant? Well, Paperfish Sushi is the place for you. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with cherry blossoms and vibey music. We ordered the acevichado, hot truffle, spicy tuna roll, and miso soup. The miso soup was the best item to me. Every item was on the sweet side to me. Affordable prices, but nothing special. Everything came out quickly, but the experience felt rushed. They could work on customer service. read more
