Happy Hour from 5:30pm-7:30pm makes Shokudo the best value I've run into anywhere in Miami. Absolutely come here because all of their dishes were good, their sushi was fresh and the rolls are extra tasty. We had double the food and paid a 3rd of the price from Blue Ribbon a couple of nights prior. The service was a 4 out of 5. It could use some small adjustments to tighten up, but anything tighter would be Michelin level and then prices would definitely go up. The outdoor patio setup is very well-kept with an attractive aesthetic providing a subtly sexy ambiance that adds the extra star to this review. For the money, I highly recommend dining here during happy hour and trying as many dishes as possible. Enjoy. read more

Shokudo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

It is a decent restaurant that is worth going to for happy hour. A nice ambiance and decent prices. I tried a few things from the happy hour menu, and the most impressive was the Salmon Nigiri. The sushi itself felt like it had too much rice, akin to that of publix. The shisinto peppers were very good. I tried the popcorn fish since the waitress recommended it. However, it tasted like your basic fish sticks. The Java steak was an interesting plate. The meat had a very vingear-like taste, similar to how sliced meat is served in Vietnamese salad dishes. Overall I would say this place is just ok. I am in no rush to return but if I am in the area during happy hour I would be sure to grab a few bites read more

Such a cute little place and lovely atmosphere. They have plenty of outdoor seating which is why we came here and it was a great choice. There's not many cold days in Miami, but when it is, they even have heaters outdoors for you. I love the green Pothos growing over the bistro lights, it almost makes it look like medallions twinkling in the sky. Aside from the cute and quaint space outside, the food was good. It's a great break from cooking at home and it satisfies your basic sushi cravings. The area is a little difficult to find parking but a great option during these times as not many places offer outdoor seating. read more

Poor service. On Tuesday nights Shokudo offers a vegetarian menu full of interesting dishes, so we decided to give it a try. First of all parking is difficult, so you might want to consider taking an Uber. If you find parking, the restaurant has both outdoor and indoor seating, but from there our experience was terrible. Given COVID we were looking for outdoor seating, but there was nothing available so we tried ordering for takeout. Immediately the situation became hostile. The host said that the vegetarian menu prices did not apply for take out. Instead we had to pay the price for their non vegetarian variants (double the price of the vegetarian option). Upon this information we simply had to walk out, paying the price of "high quality fish" for vegetables did not seem reasonable. Shokudo lost the same amount of money that would have been consumed at the restaurant with an occupied table. My Criteria 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 stars: This restaurant should be closed. read more

Overall, it's a nice restaurant with good food at reasonable prices. That being said here's my pros and cons: PROS: -Happy hour menu (runs daily from 5 to 7pm) and has great drink and food specials -Unique sushi rolls that are fresh and tasty -Bar makes good drinks -Ended up eating quite a bit for not a lot of money CONS: -Service was a bit slow -Ordered a couple of dishes that never came out -Not restaurant's fault, but parking is a bit difficult It's definitely worth checking out, but they get busy quickly, so be patient. read more

We lucked out and had the most AMAZING server over at the Citadel and he informed us that he also works at Shokudo - so we (of course) ran out to Shokudos Happy Hour the VERY next night and boy oh boy aren't we glad we did!!!! Cesar is an amazing server/bartender/human - we are going to be visiting MUCH more frequently as I am already craving the AMAZING Margaritas that Cesar whipped up as well as those Jalapeno Poppers & ohhhhhhh and the GYOZA DUMPLINGGGSSSSS and the Fish Lettuce Wraps. OMG I want to go right now ...... read more

Absolutely delicious Japanese fusion restaurant!! This is a really intimate quiet spot perfect for a date night. Located in design district, the food here is no fuss and amazing quality. I tried a bunch of things off their menu and everything was amazing. We started with the hamachi sushi which was super fresh!! We also got the spicy tuna roll which I thought wasn't the best, the tempura overpowered the tuna. The spring rolls which were basic, the pork buns which were not the best, it's thin pork like the one you get in ramen and I prefer a thicker pork belly especially for the price. I got a spicy margarita which was not spicy at all so i got the lychee martini type drink as my second one. Highly recommend although not strong on alcohol at allll. For entrees we tried the shrimp curry, steak and rice, orange chicken and crab fried rice. The curry was PHENOMENAL. Best thing we tried and it was plentiful I had leftovers for like 4 meals. The churrasco was also amazing, the steak had a great sear and the rice was perfectly cooked. I also thought it was ana amazing portion for the price. The crab fried rice is a must get!! The crab flavor is really prominent and the portion size is also big and enough to share. I would skip the orange chicken, it was more acidic than sweet and not really special at all in the batter or the flavor. We ended the meal with the crepe cake which rolled my eyes into Jupiter of how good it was and the crumble which was INSANE!! The sweet mango and tarte blueberries paired so well with the matcha crumble and the matcha was prominent but not overly bitter. I have no complaints about this spot the meal came out to $450 which was pricey but not bad compared to other restaurants in the area. The decor is super calming, really amazing ceilings and I would totally be back again! read more

I like this place, notice I didn't say I loved this place. I think their food has gotten more expensive and the portions have gotten smaller. Overall I can say I don't mind but I'm less likely to come here regularly now because of it. Service is good and one thing I love is the ambiance. I love the patio outback. read more

The cutest little hidden gem in buena vista! I randomly came across Shokudo looking for a sushi restaurant with outside seating and this popped up. I had never heard of it but I gave them a try, and boy how glad I did. When we got there around 8pm they sat us down immediately (we had reservations @8:15). Our server, forgot his name, but he was amazing! He suggested amazing items from the menu since we had never been. We had a bottle of the cold sake $16 and 2 tsingtao beer$6. For appetizer we ordered the jalapeño poppers that were stuffed with spicy tuna, cream cheese and then fried with truffle eel sauce on top. For rolls we had the shokudo roll and the samurai. Everything was amazing from the outside decor with the twinkle lights, to the service, to the prices and to the food. Highly recommend this place!! Especially since they have a great outdoor area! read more

I genuinely despite eating out. It takes a lot to get me in a restaurant establishment. This place however I will jump at any opportunity to go. I had both of my graduation dinners here, countless family and even romantic events etc. The food is incredible (orange chicken!!!, shokudo roll, shrimp shumai, octopus), the ambiance surrounding the outdoor seating, the staff. GO! Trust me.. read more

What's up my Yelpian buddies? Now, I don't usually leave reviews with low star ratings; but bless Henry Rollin's soul; was I disappointed with this delivery (ordered straight from them, not Uber or etc) Here's a breakdown of the food that was ordered: - Veggie Gyoza: Good amount of gyoza. They did well with this one. Good job Shokudo. - Wakame Salad: Also tasted good, but the portion size was way too small. Only maybe three bites worth? - Edamame: this was okay. I mean, it's not hard to make edamame; but come on Shokudo. No salt on the edamame?!?! Where they do that at? - Chicken Fried Rice: all around fail. Sigh... rice didn't taste good, chicken was super dry, and the pool of grease at the bottom could oil my 16" frying pan for the next 4-5 meals - Thai Donuts - I swear I heard Rivers Cuomo scream "say it ain't soooOooOo" when I opened these and saw barely any sugar on them. They weren't warm (got delivery, so I can't blame them for that), but even after quickly heating up; they weren't that great. All in all... Eh. To be completely honest, the only reason I gave this 2 stars was because the delivery dude was cool and their prices weren't too bad. PS: this flyer they left at my apartment claims "40% off all bottles of beer, wine, and sake (with purchase of food). When you look on the site, you'll find sake discounted from the original price and the new price being $19. Yet, that same "discounted" sake is $13 at total wine and other places. Que?!?!?! Oh. Look at the pics. I took them once we said we couldn't eat anymore (would've eaten way less if this weren't our first meal of the day) read more

Shokudo - Shokudo Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Definitely one of my favorite sushi places! This restaurant is located around the Miami Design District, it's like 3 blocks from the main shopping areas so while you are driving by NE 2nd, watch out you literally just pass the restaurant because they only have a small sign outside. Even though you can probably get a table here during weekdays, 100% recommended getting a reservation for the weekend, especially for high hours like from 7.30-9.30 pm. This place is an open kitchen so if you sit inside, some of the food smell will probably stick with you for a little; however, they also have a beautiful outdoor area. The Edamame here are always fresh, and their gyozas as another option of appetizer are delicious. The dough is a little bit extra sticky but the filling for both, either the vegetarian or the pork one is delicious. Also, their buns are so good! And now they have a vegan option with fried tofu which tastes like heaven. The Kale Ramen is so hearty and perfect to share between 2 or even 3 people if you are ordering other entrees. Also, the orange chicken is not over sweet but crispy, same as the tofu version of it which both are great to share among 3 people. If you like Crab Rice, watch out because this one is extra salty (a little way too much for me). Of the rolls, the Shokudo roll is the signature roll from the restaurant, but the Dragon Roll is another classic. They don't have it on the menu, but they also have a Veggie Roll (a little bit dry since it's only raw veggies but it gets better if you eat it with some spicy Mayo). About the sweets, the Thai Donuts are amazing!!!! So soft and crispy on the outside! Also, the Banana Tempura will melt in your mouth. My favorite cocktail is the Lychee Dreams! The blend of Chicha Morada and Lychee is so refreshing! read more

It's a bit out of the way just north of the Design District. Parking is a hassle but they have valet for $7.00. Dina had their signature octopus and loved it. Followed by salmon avocado rolls that were well made with generous amounts of fresh salmon. I had a house salad- surprisingly good and two vegetable rolls (which were $2.00 more than Dina's salmon rolls????). Carlos our server/ bartender/host and busboy worked very hard and was all alone servicing the entire restaurant himself. Not sure how he did it- and all with a smile. It's very good- just not mind blowing- and not cheap. Especially for vegan/vegetable rolls. Would go back if Dina wants to- but as a vegan I'd be just as happy eating at Whole Foods. read more

Shokudo has become my favourite neighbourhood sushi spot! Whether take-out or dine-in, I've never been disappointed. They have a wide fish selection which is always very very fresh. I'm very partial towards that hotate (scallop) or amaebi (sweet shrimp). The citrus roll, rainbow roll and NY spicy tuna roll are my go-to's. I also love the sashimi appetizer for $14. They give you very generous sized sashimi. If you can, stop by for happy hour where certain rolls and delicious cocktails are $7. Def a nice serene spot with friendly staff, great food and good price! read more

I came here on a Monday evening. Service was great because we were one table out of maybe 6 that they were serving. Everything seems prepared to order so you will definitely wait on a weekend. The hamachi was so tasteful and simple. The chicken tasted light and not so full of batter. The ambiance over all was calm. Music playlist can use work. The parking situation needs to get better. There is very little parking nearby. But if you are not sure just call the restaurant. The food was great! I'd definitely come here again. read more

service 4/5 unfortunately there was only 1 server and it was busy, so service was poor. we asked for a drink refill twice never got it, but she was very friendly and apologetic. atmosphere 4/5 from the outside it didnt even look like the place was i business..dark, no lights, no open sign, blinds closed...but inside its very clean & spacious. food overall 3/5 price was quite steep for the portion. shio ramen & tantan ramen both 3/5 shio broth was v.light. the way it should be. pork belly cuts were so thin..should've added more. the tantan broth was not as thick and creamy as the traditional tantans are but it was more spicy, which gave it a nice kick. also, both ramens they only give you half an egg. its full hard boiled, not soft boiled w.a jelly yolk. for the price ($20usd/bowl) i expected more. the ramen noodles itself are on the thicker side, wavy and chewy. sashimi & roll bento 4/5 wish the portion was more. it was almost kid sized. sashimi was ok, nothing stood out. gyoza & sashimi bento 3/5 only 2 pcs of gyozas, over cooked & hard, filling was v.dry. the purple cabbage slaw was actually really nice. you can taste the sesame oil (which i do love). read more

I've been meaning to come to this restaurant for years. Finally made it and LOVED everything about it. I was looking for a nice place to take my neighbor for her birthday. My criteria was great food with vegan options, on the quiet side so we could talk, easy to get to and park. Not outrageously priced. Shokudo hit on all levels and then some. Food was PHENOMENAL. We shared five veggie plates - they were all so beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful. The service was so professional and caring. My neighbor and I were able to talk. Cherry on top was free parking! I want to bring everyone I know back here. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Came to Shokudo to celebrate my friend's birthday with a party of about 8 guests. Service: Though the restaurant itself is not very large, the staff was somewhat slow at attending to us and getting us situated at our table. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic, however when we came in they took forever to give us menus. Environment: The place is sophisticatedly decorated with marble countertops and awesome lighting structures. We went on a weekday where there wasn't much of a crowd and it felt like our private event. Food: The food here is wonderful. My only complaint (as with most Asian restaurants) is the lack of vegetarian options, however I feel like you can work around it here. Their bibimbap, pad Thai , green curry - are all veg friendly and the kitchen will happily accommodate. It is also fair to mention that their appetizers were versatile and included veg-friendly options. I tried their: - Momo: delicious. WOW! Set in a tomato ghee, these potato dumplings were soft and just melted in my mouth. - Pad Thai (veg): again wonderfully done. The noodles were not slimy or too soft; they were perfectly cooked and the dish was definitely flavorful. **The portion was big - I was able to share this item** Overall: They treated us quite well and I heard raving reviews from my guests. I would definitely return back here to eat some amazing food and have a drink. read more

This place is amazing. I'm not even going to leave the 3 stars I should due to the shitty waiter we got but the food and environment was that good. I will leave 4 because I think having an attentive staff is incredibly important. We order shrimp sui mai and I believe they were the gyoza dumplings. To die for! Then we had the rainbow roll, the mango roll and something else I forget but all were very fresh tasting. I appreciated the portions for what we paid as well. The restaurant is also very beautiful. They have an indoor section and outdoor and we opted for the outdoor. Just enough light so you can see your food and booths which I love. Our waiter was less than enthused with us, maybe because we didn't look like we belonged or like we'd tip enough? We waited 30 min for him to realize we were done eating but he never even came around, another waiter brought us our check instead. In the end we indeed did not tip enough since he wasn't even around but will definitely be returning to try more of the menu. read more

A literal COCKROACH crawled out of my dress & across my chest, it was totally disgusting. When I told the waiter he said "well that's Miami!", he did not care at all and was totally rude.

Great sushi spot!! Pretty decent quality especially for the pricing. Matcha lemonade is bomb! The rolls are also great such as the Shokudo roll, mango roll, jalapeño hamachi, spider roll, as well as the jalapeño poppers, salmon skin hand roll, salmon carpaccio and for dessert halo halo to share! Although the tapioca balls weren't the best, the dessert was overall still enjoyable! If I could suggest anything is to stick to the Japanese dishes on the menu most. Overall, great spot for dine in or take out! read more

After working more than a couple late nights in a row, greasy fast food gets boring after oh, one or two meals. My palate deserved a reward; I saw Shokudo in the "Hot New Businesses" on Yelp. It's on the route from the office back home? Perfect! After a pleasant greeting by the valet and host, my waitress Nicole gives me a friendly greeting and sets me up with a bowl of their pleasantly addictive rice crackers. Although a large part of the menu is sushi, us meat eaters have nothing to fear. For starters, I started with their turkey potstickers. Three gyoza pieces stuffed with turkey, what I think was a cilantro base and presented on a banana leaf, and ready to dip from a soy sauce with hints of citrus and into my belly. I was hungry, so I continued with one of their large plates: literally "fall of the bone" pulled pork with a spread of mango, onions, jalapeño and cilantro and also served on a banana leaf. It deliciously maintained the citrusy notes, and was strong enough to greet me with its smell as the server brought my plate. I managed to fit in their banana turron. Yes, no matter how full I was, as the dessert snob I had to try some sweets. The light crust filled with banana cream and nutella was well worth the calories. Ambiance is nice as well, with a sexy background music mixing in acid jazz, some Sade and even Kaskade! read more

I love coming here for happy hour. Usually you'll have the place to yourself if you do so during the week. They have amazing happy hour prices and great fresh rolls. But I personally loved the Shokudo roll that wasn't on happy hour pricing. The service is great and I like the music they have on in the background. Any time I have a chance for HH, I'll be back. read more

We visited on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded. Still, they served everyone's food at different times. Our server was texting while some items were ready to be served. The cuts of pork on our buns was quite thin and almost not there. The sliced pork on the ramen was good in flavor but also quite thin. When you compare the quality of the ramen and buns to other Asian restaurants in Miami this place is under-delivering, especially when you consider that they are charging more. The ramen broth was enjoyable and the crepe cake was quite good. Our server was also nice. read more

I wouldn't come for the sushi. My girlfriends pad thai was very good though. Very confused about the 4 star rating. Sushi had way too much rice, while the color, texture, and taste of the fish was a bit off. I hate writing a bad review, but I left very upset. read more

My two friends and I landed in Miami and were craving for sushi. We looked up Yelp and reserved a table for three at this restaurant. We were hoping to park in the private lot but that was reserved for valet parking ($4). There's no street parking. We ordered Sashimi Appetizer and Chicken Potsticker. We also ordered New York Spicy Tuna Roll, Buena Vista Roll and Dreaming Shrimp. Sashimi appetizer: 4/5 Chicken potsticker: 4/5 New York spicy tuna roll: 3.5/5 Buena vista roll: 4/5 Dreaming shrimp: 3/5 Service was average or below average. We ordered a glass of Pinot noir and the server forgot to bring it. It's a good place and the rolls were pretty good but I think it'll be better on a weekday evening. read more

Had a very nice dinner date here the other night. Located in the design district, the restaurant is in a nice location and not too far from the local nightlife. Very nice ambiance. I sat outdoors, which was comfortable and quiet. Lots of greens and I was able to hear the crickets chirping so it felt like I was outdoors. The menu offers classic Asian dishes, Sushi and some oddballs that I can't say are Asian cuisine. One of those oddball dishes is the Java Steak. It was skirt steak, rice, onion, tomato, avocado and sauce. I lie to you not, it was one of the best dishes I have ever had. For dessert I got the Halo halo, which was taro ice cream, shaved ice, red bean, boba and assortment of fruits in a large bowl. The food gets 5 stars. The service wasn't the best, but it was close to closing time. Bring a date here and try that dessert. It will win you style points. read more
