    Valentine's Dinner at Shingo was nothing but exceptional!! The restaurant is located in the Northside of La Palma building. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is intimate, calm, and not flashy. The hostest Brenda was very attentive to all of our needs and truly enhanced the experience. Each course is thoughtful and deliberate. My favorite course of the night was the eel and caviar. Perfectly seasoned and well balanced flavors. Each meal came out perfectly timed. It didn't feel rushed and there was no awkward downtime. If you are looking for an authentic omakase experience, Shingo is something special. There are only 14 seats available, so it is definitely for a special occasion. This was worth the wait and the price! Thank you chef Shingo and your staff for making the night so special!

    Nigiri night menu

    I was so excited for this to be my first omakase experience. I have never wanted to do an omakase experience because I am very particular about the fish I like. However, when I saw that Shingo hosts a Nigiri night, I was so excited to give it a try. The uni was incredible, which I had never had before. Along with the eel, which I don't normally like, but it was fantastic!! The tuna was some of the best I've ever had. It was three different cuts. The toro hand roll was also unbelievable!! The staff had such attention to detail and were incredibly kind. The intimate restaurant, with about 14 seating, was also beautiful. The sake was delicious, and the staff were so knowledgeable on sake. You are able to pick what glass you would like your sake served in, just adding to the touches throughout the overall amazing experience. I understand why they have Michelin stars! Will definitely be back.

    Beautiful experience from start to finish, and pleased that this was my first (real) omakase. I took my friend here to celebrate his birthday, we did the Tuesday seating for Nigiri night. I think it was a great way to lean into this kind of dining for the first time, I spent a good portion of it just taking it all in and becoming even more excited about recreating it in Japan in the near future. We were sat directly in front of the chef and were able to learn about where he trained, what kinds of cuts he liked, and places he recommended in Japan. The experience consisted of 14 different pieces over the course of two hours. Stand outs for me were the Hirame, Sanma, Kegani, Akami, Otoro, Chutoro and Uni. The experience comes with a complimentary glass of Champagne, and we also did Hojicha. They offer sake, beer and wine as well. One thing to note before you book is the etiquette guide they have on the website, which includes notes about phone use, punctuality, attire, and if you're loud like me (gomen' nasai!), noise level. Definitely arrive on time, they open the door at the time of the reservation (sharp!). They will start without you and you'll end up with less than what you paid. Big thanks to the whole team for the impeccable service and the graciousness of the chefs for taking the time to speak with us while we dined. I encourage anyone who participates in these experiences to get to know who is preparing your meal as sign of appreciation and respect. I look forward to returning. Arigatō Gozaimashita!

    I went here for a summer nigiri night event. Everyone was so professional and helpful. The hostess sat me down at the beautiful wooden Omakase bar, which looked dreamy as the sun set They offered us champagne, but I tried their yuzu sparkling tea that paired really nice with the fish pieces. We every nigiri piece had the perfect thin layer of wasabi sauce. The fish was melt in your mouth and tasted so good. You know it's good quality fish when you don't even miss the soy sauce. There were a few hand rolls included, like the Uni and the salmon roe. I've never really been crazy about salmon roe, but the one here was marinated and it tasted lovely. It was one of the best miso soups I've ever had, and i loved the little mango dessert at the end. The best part--unlimited ginger. Definitely deserves the Michelin star acknowledgement and I cant wait to return.

    Shingo has been on my radar for some time now, and I finally made a reservation. Right now they have summer nigiri nights, where you get to try 10+ nigiri for $180. Let me just say that the service was exceptional and the staff is very knowledgeable. The chefs were both born and raised in Japan, and I really enjoyed speaking to them about their journey to Miami. Each piece of nigiri was beautifully crafted, with standout selections like uni and toro that melted in your mouth; the O-toro bite was to-die for ("give me 14 of them!" Lol). The pacing of the meal was perfect, allowing enough time to appreciate the flavors and presentation of each course. The ambiance is intimate and understated, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. Overall, it was one of the most refined omakase experiences I've had in Miami, and I'm already looking forward to going back.

    I have been waiting to come here for many years, but couldn't get past the price point. I finally came, and while delicious, do not think it's worth the $350 all in price per person. The service was great, and little room was nice. I loved picking out the sake glass from Chef Shingo's personal collection - I thought that was a really nice touch, and the experience and service were definitely a stand out. The fish was fresh and delicious, can't argue about that. I base my omakase experience ratings off of if I say "oh my god wow" after each bite, and that was not the case at Shingo. It was good, not amazing, and not worth the price point. Definitely classic Japanese Edomae style, so if you prefer that then this may be for you- but personally, I prefer a more creative take on omakases. With all that said, I did order the $50 caviar and uni hand roll at the end of the meal - and this was probably the single best bite of food I've had in my life. It was so delicious. I told myself, if I could have four of these, I would make the $250 price point and be in heaven. THAT would be my preference over the omakase experience here, but it's not an option and can only be added as an add on in the end. All in all, if you like trying different omakases and have been waiting to come here, in my opinion - it's a skip. There are better, more creative options, if that's your style. If you prefer classic and traditional fish on rice with a drop of soy sauce - this is your place.

    A truly exceptional omakase experience in Coral Gables. From the moment you walk through the linen curtain, SHINGO feels calm, elegant, and intimate, like a hidden gem in Tokyo. Every course was artfully presented: the Hokkaido uni with caviar was pure indulgence, the sweet shrimp melted in my mouth, and the silver skinned fish had the perfect balance of richness and freshness. The service was thoughtful and precise, with every detai, from the sake pairing to the tableware, reflecting true craftsmanship. It's no surprise SHINGO earned back to back Michelin stars. This is more than just dinner, it's a culinary journey worth every moment.

    I like the experience of Michelin-starred restaurants, I enjoy traditional sushi (i.e. Edomae-zushi), and I really like when they combine into a Michelin-starred sushi restaurants. In January I had a week where I visited all three of Miami's Michelin-starred sushi restaurants: Hiden, Shingo, and Ogawa (which is the order in which they were established). I've also gone in recent years to two of the starred sushi restaurants in Tampa (Koya and Kosen). All five were one-star, though I've also experienced two-star (Sushi Masaki Saito in Toronto, since dropped to one) and three-star (Masa in NYC) sushi restaurants - as well as other places that have been exceptional but simply weren't in cities with a Guide. All of this is to say, I know my way around both the dining style and the experiences and expectations set by such restaurants. I'm not the person to just toss laurels on a place because they make above-average sushi. I think it's also unfair to reserve a 5-star review for only a three-star restaurant, or assume that any Michelin starred experience should receive a top review. These initial paragraphs are a boilerplate intro I'm putting atop all three reviews for Hiden, Shingo, and Ogawa because I want each to be taken in context of the others and the experiences I had. If you want the short version. All three were worthy, but there was a clear pecking order that happens to correspond to the inverse of when they opened: (1) Ogawa, (2) Shingo, (3) Hiden. Hiden established the scene, the initial head chef of Hiden opened Shingo, and (soon after) Ogawa opened to compete with the other two. Shingo Akikuni was the chef who opened Hiden and guided to become the first sushi restaurant in Miami to earn a Michelin star. Since that restaurant was owned by others, it wasn't surprising to see him get lured away to start this eponymous spot in Coral Gables - well away from Wynwood and located among the wealth and suburban opulence of the area. It let him put more of his own personality into the experience. The restaurant is located in the historic La Palma building, which was restored into a hotel and offices. The entrance is from the main lobby, but the restaurant is clearly visible through windows on the street. It has a straightforward 14-seat sushi bar that was designed and built in Japan before being taken apart, shipped, and reassembled on site. Once you walk in you are greeted by a display of Japanese ceramics/earthenware by rotating artisans that can be purchased, your then taken to the dining room. It has a very calm, simple design that focuses the guests on the excellent work in front of them. Chef Akikuni and his assistant split the sushi bar, handling half the diners each, and then swap places halfway through the meal so that everyone gets an opportunity to be served by the master. Continuing from the splash he made at Hiden, the meal at Shingo is high caliber Edomae, i.e. the traditional sushi experience served chef's choice (omakase) served over a multicourse meal. There is a beginning of creative, seasonal starters followed by a wave of nigiri sushi, another seasonal course (it was a chawanmushi, savory egg custard dish, when I was there), followed by an excellent selection of tuna (multiple cuts), then salmon roe and sea urchin, followed by a negitoro handroll, tamago, and desserts. It was an orthodox dining experience that brings traditional Japanese cuisine to diners with gracious hosts. This is not entirely the fault of the restaurant, but compared to the experiences at Ogawa and Hiden, I had the least enjoyable time because the guests were an odd mix of people who were loudly clueless about sushi (but had lots of money to burn), one guy who was perhaps a bit too into Japan (but had never been) to the point I felt uncomfortable listening to him, and tourists from Latin America who clearly were exploring and respectfully enjoying the new experience (we all start somewhere, I respect this). It was strange, maybe this is the location that's convenient to flashy, vapid areas? Ogawa is tucked so far away you need to seek it out. The staff also was a little shaky when it came to English fluency and some of my questions, to the point there were brief delays in finding someone who could speak English. Odd and felt off. Does that mean Shingo doesn't deserve to have one-star? Not at all. If anything, Ogawa is making a case for being the two-star option. If you forced me to rank all 5 of the Florida Michelin sushi spots I've tried, I'd say Ogawa, Koya (Tampa), Shingo, Hiden and Kosen (Tampa) in that order. As a one-star Edomae experience compared against its rivals, I'd give this a 4-star rating, as a restaurant it's a classic 5.

    Shingo delivered one of the best dining experiences I've had in Miami. The staff made the evening smooth and enjoyable, still attentive without overdoing it, and every detail handled thoughtfully. Each course was beautifully prepared, the fish incredibly fresh, and tbe explanations added meaning to the meal. The restaurant is inside a modern building with easy street parking, and you can add a sake or wine pairing to round out the experience.

    Salmon/Tuna sushi bites sprinkled with the perfect amount of soy sauce.
    Mauro D.

    Secluded in the historical and charming Las Palmas Hotel in the heart of Coral Gables, Shingo is the Japanese experience that pays homage to its hometown culture by bringing the best in art, culinary gastronomy, and colorful flowering arrangements. Their intimate setup serves as the perfect reserved area to host their all-hands warming Japanese service. Impressed by their welcoming spirit (very typical of their Japanese characteristic), the positive vibes and good aura will bless you with the correct mood to enjoy their delightful bites Salmon or Tuna Teka Maki, meticulously cut and seasoned by the acclaimed Michelin Award Chef, Shingo itself. Who will always make sure to sprinkle the right amount of soy sauce on each roll piece. One of the lovely owners and hosts, Kaori, will guide you through the sophisticated drink selections, not limited to their classic Sakes (Junkai Ginjo Kikusul or the well-balanced between bitter and crisp: Shintaro, or the Karakushi Honjozo), but also including the finest Valée (75 Mois de Cave) champagne, or a more Italian Bianco del Maestro Mastropietro White wine. All of them pair very well with their bites, but for me, the top winner is their organic raw matcha, for the first time, I really felt I was drinking the legit one, as it tasted so natural that you could really absorb all of its ingredients and tea flavoring. Their handcrafted art offering is composed of delicate pieces of vases that vary from flower bases, tea servers, or useful bowls; all of them are offered for sale; which makes perfect sense to hold any of the colorful flower arrangments curated by Shingo's flower girls. ありがとう Shingo and team for taking us to the soul of Japan in the middle of Coral Gables.

    I absolutely love omakase experiences, so naturally, I had to try Shingo. My husband and I truly enjoyed every course- it was a memorable experience. We did notice that the quality of the sushi-grade fish at Shingo did seem to be higher than at other omakase dinners we've attended. That said, considering the price point, it was difficult to pinpoint what truly set this experience apart from others. The flavors were very natural and thoughtfully crafted and I would recommend to others but there was nothing that truly jumped out at me. The setting was intimate, which contributed to excellent service and a pleasant ambiance.

    This is the best sushi in Miami hands down. The food, the experience, the service.. too notch!

    Kristen S.

    A true fine dining experience. Japan has been transported to Coral Gables. The Michelin star acknowledgement is warranted, unlike many of the other restaurants named in Miami. Shingo is what culinary dreams are made of. Every detail from the food, to the service, and ambiance are 10/10. This is a true investment in yourself & not meant for a close minded or picky eater. Expect various parties in your mouth with every single course. They are very accommodating to allergies.

    The closely-guarded menu. It really wouldn't be hard to post this on the website!

When we asked about the missing ramen order he quickly went to the back to put in the order but ordered the wrong ramen which was a regular tonkatsu ramen. Another thing that was a little irritating was that the bathroom's paper towel dispenser was empty so you couldn't dry your hands after washing. Given that there was only one other table with two customers during the entire duration of our meal, it seems kind of inexcusable that the employees could not check and replace the dispenser while they were also using during the time of service. Regarding the meal, The black Garlic ramen was decent albeit slightly salty and the texture of the noodles was nice. My friends tonkatsu ramen was a little too creamy for the soup and came with thinner b noodles which was a little disappointing and unexpected as it was not mentioned in the menu that there were any differences in the type of noodles in each ramen choices.
