Shokudo - Sushi is awesome and great quality! Dragon roll & Shokudo roll on the left, Samurai & Spicy Tuna on the right!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Been wanting to have dinner at this place for some time, I always pass by on my way to my studio. It was a huge discover!! Very nice cuts, freshness, savory dishes, nigiris are out of control!! Had the pad Thai, uffff very good portions and cooking' we also ordered some of the dishes, such as the buns, ceviches, all around everything was really good! Big Ups for the staff, even though they did not had my order on time, because I placed my order through Yelp! Still they where super cool about it, and delivered the food promptly' Sayonara!!! read more

First let me start by saying the service was very friendly and very good. I've seen a lot of negative comments here but at least my experience was very good. I went for meatless Monday and had an assortment of small appetizers so that I can try a lot of small plates at one time. The least liked was the cauliflower wings, it just didn't impress with really no crunch and what looked like small clumps smothered in Hawaiian sauce. I had the tofu buns which I did enjoy and would like to see just a bit more pizzazz in them. Next I had the vegetable dumplings...these were very good. Last was the yasai roll which was such a different experience with ground peanuts and a spicy mustard already in the mix. It was certainly out of the ordinary. This place has indoor and outdoor seating and has a modern vibe to it. They do offer free parking but unless you know where it's at you'll probably be parking on the street. It's an all around nice location just north of the Design District. No ice tea was a let down, the only option here was matcha green tea which is a turn off. Expect moderate prices and on heavy traffic days I do recommend a reservation as seating is limited. They are true to vegetarian and vegan dishes using true veg/vegan ingredients and cooking methods. And of course they have standard Japanese options that are not meatless. Menu is posted online, have fun! read more

The spot itself is so cute. It has a small in door dining area that is dim lit, and the cutest outdoor, bistro light-lit patio. I ordered the Thai Margarita on repeat and it was consistent and delicious throughout the evening. Char Sui - not my fave dish, but my partner loved it. Salmon & Toro & Octopus nigiri - SOO GOOD. Melt in your mouth delicious. I've been struggling to find a good (like actually good, not just the hot spot) sushi restaurant in Miami. It's been quite the search and I have to say, this has been THE BEST SUSHI SO FAR. If my partner didn't want other things, I would've just ordered nigiri all night. Crunchy Sushi - great starter. Loved the truffle eel sauce. Perfect balance. Shokudo roll - delicious. Definitely a must have. Banana Tempura - soo good and tasted fresh. My partner devoured the entire thing. I'll be back to try the ramen that sounds heavenly and obviously for more nigiri! Now. The reason why I removed a star. The service. I'm keeping in mind that it was VDAY so I won't be too harsh, buuuut the service sucked. The host of the evening was super nice. We're we're running behind had the host was more than gracious. We felt as thought our waiter tried not to make eye contact with us so he wouldn't have to come over. In the middle of our dinner, we waited like 20 minutes before he came to get our main entree order. And then waited another 15 mins after our main dish had been cleared to order dessert. Idk if they were slammed (the air didn't feel hectic) but didn't leave the best impression. Upside - drinks pretty much always came out quickly! read more

This is my go to places if I want really good Asian sorbet dessert. I came here initially intend to try the ramen noodle, as I still struggle to find decent ramen in Miami and saw this place on Yelp. I ordered spicy tuna tartar on crispy rice as recommended by our waiter, and of course signature ramen. I did not like the former, as tuna tartar plus crispy rice formed an interesting texture combination that doesn't really work together. The ramen is above average , I really like the simmered eggs and the pork, but the broth is a bit oily. The appetizer and ramen is pushing me towards a 3.5 until I tried the dessert, which I could give about 3500 stars. The taro based sorbet is perfect sized to share, and has different goodies that the waiter will mixed them with taro paste, taro ice cream and shaved ice. It is hard to describe but show them the picture I uploaded, it will BLOW YOUR MIND. read more

A place to call home! Service staff welcoming and attentive. Cocktails to experience and food to savor ... all with a twist of fusion flare. A skip away from the hustle and bustle of the Miami Design District; a true gem of the area. Accommodating to large parties but more important accommodating with 5 star service. Thank you to the front of the house, the back of the house and the owner to help us celebrate birthdays that were not accommodated at the Swan! Kudos to your team and thank you Cheers to YOU read more

Our waiter disappeared the entire time we dined. The food was good but there were a couple things that were just OK. We wanted to order more food but our waiter never came back so we just couldn't. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco because it turned out to be more cost-effective than ordering drinks. Overall, for two we spent $108 without tip. I would say the place is a little pricey for what it is. The grilled octopus and calamari are very good the Japanese eggplant was OK. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon. Outdoor seating was tight. Also parking is a nightmare!! read more

Been there for dinner last night. I would say it's a nice place for locals, doesn't worth the drive if your outside midtown area. Food was ok, nothing memorable. Service was a little slow to get our order, but then the food came out right on time. It's a little place, so tables are really one on top of the other. It's an ok place, nothing to go crazy for. Not sure if I'll go back. read more

Shokudo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place is just alright to me. What's cool about this place is that it's down the street from where I live , so I can easily walk here. Another cool thing here is that they offer a unique lunch special sushi/sashimi combo for $14 or bento box of your choice for $12. I came here initially to try the Ramen because I read reviews that it was pretty good. As I walked in, I was easily greeted by a Spanish woman( which threw me off, because I was in a Japanese restaurant). This place has a nice setting to it but, I felt it was a little jam-packed in there.(no one likes that feeling). As for the service, I was greeted once again with a Spanish woman and spoke to me in Spanish. I had no idea what she was saying and felt confused. So then, after she caught on that i only spoke English , I think the manager took my order. The service was a bit slow. Took about 15 minutes to get me my water and tea. The food came out faster than my drinks. For the food itself, I am a DIE HARD IKURA LOVER and totally enjoyed my Ikura! I ordered the Shio Ramen and to be quite honest, it was way too salty for my taste. I compared it to the ramen at Ichimi and Ichimi was way better. The broth here at Shokudo could tone down the salt. I would come back here to eat the lunch special , but will not be eating Ramen here. read more

Herd a lot of good things about this place so I Stopped by for dinner. The place was surprisingly empty, Sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the sushi chefs at work. The food was good. Ordered the shrimp/ pork dumplings (good- the tobiko was strange and unnecessary component) the spicy tuna roll (awesome, probably one of the best spicy tuna rolls I've ever had, very flavorful and the added crunch of the tempura flakes was killer! The blue crab avocado roll (good) The rolls were great, very little rice. I've noticed that Most sushi nowadays serve these over sized giant rice rolls with barely any filler, shokudo rolls are filled with fish rolled to perfection with a nicely thin rolled layer of rice. Last, I ended up with salmon and toro sashimi. Very fresh, melted like butter and simply delicious. My least favorite thing was the eel nigiri. Something was off with the eel it had a really weird taste. Flavor was off putting. Also I wish the menu had some more chicken, beef appetizers and entrees. A lot of the dishes are very standard and common (find them in a lot of Japanese restaurants).. there was nothing special or unique about the dishes... Overall I enjoyed my meal left full and satisfied. If you ever crave sushi, this is a great Sushi spot.. Service was good too. read more

we came for the shabu shabu,. what a very expensive disappointment . Chunks of 3x2 carrots and cubes of 2x2 daikons. Ends of green onion. How are they supposed to cook quickly in a broth? Needed to remove them . Where are the choices of dipping sauce? Where is the Japanese quality thin cuts of veggies! We had to ask for soup bowl and utensils . Runny Desert over cooked . The beef amazing! We love the sushi Forget offering this costly dish until you know how to prepare it . read more

Shokudo - Big chunks of carrots and daikon - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I truly enjoyed dining at Shokudo. We were searching for a new sushi spot near our place in miami and this certainly hit the spot. My boyfriend and I came for happy hour we had drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 sushi rolls and spent less than $40 ($45 including tip). The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. I recommend this to any one searching for their new sushi/happy hour spot :) read more

I've been on a quest for best Miami Ramen for a while and though I do have a favorite place, I believe I haven't found it yet. Came here looking for that Ramen and this was actually the worst Ramen I've ever tried in my life. I guess since they're a sushi place, their specialty is sushi or else but why have this item in your menu and not make it at least decent. First of all, the broth had no depth or even that much flavor, kinda bland. I can say the same thing about the three small pieces of pork belly that had no flavor at all and for $18, one would expect a little more than a mediocre "soup" if that. I ate this because I was really hungry and it was in front of me so what choice did I have. The service was actually really good and waiter was friendly and attentive. I can only rate them for the Ramen, maybe their sushi is good and that's why they have a 4 star rating on Yelp but who knows, the place only had one customer on the countertop and two tables occupied and I was one of them. Anyway, after this I realize that my quest for that Ramen continues for indefinite time, until then, don't bother ordering their Ramen. read more

Shokudo - Ramen is not their forte, it was mediocre at best - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

The food was great! The citrus roll was absolutely amazing so much so that we ordered a total of 3 of them. The sushi was so fresh and we liked the fact that while they had some traditional options as well as specialty rolls. The hostess was great and made us feel very welcomed from the time we walked into the door and sat at the table. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that our server was not very friendly. He did start to warm up towards the end of the meal but the first impression was not very good. Parking is challenging in the area so be prepared to park on a side street and walk or pay for self parking valet a couple of doors down. read more

Food was good. We had some great jalapeño poppers and rolls. But the service was horrible. They simply didn't care. We saw our waiter two times in an hour and a half. Ask for help for another one and basically he dismissed us. A restaurant experience includes very much how they make you feel, not only the food. read more

Such an amazing Japanese spot in the heart of Miami Design District Came to try the Wednesday Wine/Sake Down and the Special Ramen of the day Very nice variety of wines, sakes and rolls I'll come back shortly for sure read more

So the ambience was nice . Just a bit tight . It kind of feels like a backyard with lights . But hey if your into that go for it . I'm not against it but wasn't expecting such a small seating area. Parking is horrible that's why it lost a star..... Barely any parking . Sushi was ok . Lot of rice not a lot of fish . Wasn't bad but wasn't the best . A bit pricy . Would I go back ? Unfortunately not , I know of better Sushi restaurants with better food , ambience, and definitely better parking read more

Went here for a date night on a weekday. We were not sure if they were open since there was no one in the restaurant. I found this place on yelp searching for some good Asian food with sushi options. I was excited to sit outside with my wife since it looked like it's very decorative back there with the lights but unfortunately the back seating area was closed off for some reason. We ordered our drinks and they were really good. Next, we ordered some dumplings as appetizers, they come with a quantity of 3. We then ordered the chicken pad Thai, and asked if they can make it spicy. We also ordered a dragon roll. The pad Thai was just ok and not spicy at all. The sushi roll was actually really good. Overall, mixed reviews with an overall 3 star. read more

Do not fall for it. Someone must be gaming the ratings including on Uber Eats. Chicken in the chicken fried rice (not that hard to get wrong folks!) was rubbery, tasteless and cartilege-y. Springs rolls would have been better if bought from Whole Foods frozen. Can't believe I ate it. :-(. NEVER AGAIN. Waiting for the first decent Japanese food in Miami. Not Uchi. Who will pull it off? read more

What a great place. Everybody was incredible and the food was fantastic. The sushi was great and the prices very accessible for the quality. The manager Zabdi was great and he made our anniversary very special. He was accommodating with every little request we had! Thank you! read more

Terrible food, really disappointing given all the reviews. Ordered the pork belly buns, a sushi roll, & a rice bowl. Overly salty. Delivery time was decent which was the only plus. Miami doesn't have the best Asian food. Really sad. read more

The food is amazing and service is top notch. The only issue is the location which has no parking. It's kinda a crap shoot when we can go and if we find parking, we stop, if not we go elsewhere. Fantastic place if you Uber. read more

After doing some Yelp research for Thai food we ended up here. The place is not that big but we were able to get in on a Sunday night with no reservation. We ordered the kalbi rice which wasn't what I expected. It was a lettuce wrap with rice vs. a rice dish. It was good but not what we thought it would be. The chicken potstickers were as good as anywhere else. The pad thai with chicken was very tasty and a large enough portion that I had the leftovers for lunch. There seemed to be a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. read more

UBER EATS DELIVERY REVIEW! 5 stars all the way! This is my first time eating from here & personally I would physically eat here as well! The flavor and taste of the food is phenomenal. Usually most places aren't as good when it's delivery. I ordered the NY Spicy Tuna Roll, the Shokudo Roll (TRUFFLE eel sauce!), and the seafood noodle soup (can't think of the name) & Thai donuts. Listen from start to finish everything was spot on and delicious!!!!! I legit stopped eating just to leave a review. Worth all the coins & this is my new go to for sushi! Super fresh & light. They don't use a bunch of rice which is rare!!! So great! read more

Shokudo - Taro sorbet dessert. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

So delicious and I love their happy hour - everything is amazing You gotta get the spicy salmon roll High quality for a reasonable price Yummmmmm Also the drinks are good read more

For me it was ok! I've had eaten in plenty of sushi places around Miami and this is ok, they have some signature plates that are really good but in general it's nothing like to die for. If you go there I'll definitely recommend the octopus appetizer is a 5 star on the menu and the salmon carpaccio. We had 4 different dicho plates and none of them were extra good that I would remember the name to recommend but it's decent good fresh sushi. The only thing is that there's not much parking around and it's really hard to park, there's a valet parking like a block away but sometimes the bakers are not there and it's like confusing because you can't see it from the restaurant but it's there and it's available at a 5$ flat rate which is fine compared to valet parking prices around Miami. We also had a banana bread dessert that was really yummy!! read more

And when I got my plate I realized I had ordered the wrong lunch special. I mean I always order the same lunch, always with very few exceptions. And this time I got it wrong. As the server put it on the table, I said out loud, "Oh dammit. This is not what I wanted to order." And all of a sudden the waiter quickly snapped at me and said, "Well, I can't do anything about you confusing yo Where do I start? This place was my GO TO lunch spot when I was in midtown Miami for business until just recently. I would go on my own, with friends, for business meetings, and even took family. I loved their lunch SO MUCH that I would even order to go. And during dinner I would also order to go if I was in the area. I mean, they make their bagel rolls with scallions, and I loved their miso soup. But something is wrong with their service. I don't know if it was because they saw me there often, and got comfortable with me, or because they are just like this. I just know two incidents happened and I just don't think I want to go in for a third one. The first incident was during a lunch business meeting with someone who is also my friend. My friend is rather pretty, and as we were leaving the server that was helping us stood behind her and told her, "If you don't move from in front of me, you can blame for what I will do behind you." Yup, he basically sexually harassed her. And it was so subtle and close to her that the sushi bar and the another sever sort of just muffled a laugh in disbelief. I was on my way out the door and barely caught what had happened until we left and she told me about it. And then it made sense what I saw as I was walking out. So after the incident I decided to talk to the owner, a really nice lady that was close to my age. She said she would take care of letting the staff know that was inappropriate and I decided to move on. But about two weeks ago something else happened. This time it was with my brother. We walked in for lunch and were in a hurry, I had to make it to a funeral. And I quickly ordered and so did he, and I rushed to the rest room. Soon after I came back the food arrived. And when I got my plate I realized I had ordered the wrong lunch special. I mean I always order the same lunch, always with very few exceptions. And this time I got it wrong. As the server put it on the table, I said out loud, "Oh dammit. This is not what I wanted to order." And all of a sudden the waiter quickly snapped at me and said, "Well, I can't do anything about you changing your mind." And I was like, excuse me? I haven't said anything to you yet. In any case, one thing led to another. And the guy was super disrespectful and unwilling to compromise with me in any change for the dish. Even when I came up with rational solutions He was so rude to me while I spoke to him, that my brother got upset as his tone with me. At that moment, my brother said something about his tone. And the guy said he didn't care what my brother thought. At which point he threatened to call the police on my brother. My brother got upset, and they almost got into a fist fight in the middle of the restaurant. Honestly, my brother did nothing wrong and this server was completely out of it. We left super distraught. I was truly upset about this. So I went back to try to talk to the manager a few times during the week. They blocked all my attempts, saying the manager wasn't there and that she would call me back. She never did. So neither did I. Word to the wise though, if it's a one time thing maybe it will be fine. But this place is not somewhere for a returning customer. It's customer service really is terrible, staff was rude, manager was unresponsive after that horrible last incident. I'm never going back. read more

The food was amazing and all delicious. We had sushi rolls, gyozas, tan tan ramen and the Korean steak. The ramen noodles were thick and the broth was light - I really enjoyed it. The halo halo dessert was also good although beans seemed a bit undercooked. My only other critique was the cut of steak used was a bit tough. read more

We went on a rainy evening after a yoga event. The place is super chill no need to dress up. I asked about 3 waiters what the most popular meal was and the all recommended the orange chicken. It was good but it was just that.... orange chicken. Nothing spectacular. The other dishes we ordered were by far more impressive but I guess orange chicken is just popular. Our sever was very nice. Only wished he was more aware of our waters going low for the fact that the cups are small. Over all a great place to dine and all four of us will be going back. read more

Shokudo is such a sweet addition to the neighborhood! I went in a Friday night for my dear Tashi's bday dinner. At first I was a bit unimpressed... trendy, modern Asian decor, hmmn.. usually too much trend overcompensates for food *or* service in the area these days. That said, it is gorgeous, comfy, not-insanely-loud and no pretentious staff (thank gawd!). We had a group of five and were sat a table that was plenty roomy. Another instant big plus... we were sat before our entire group had arrived. Big ups Shokudo for not making us hover awkwardly and stare from the hostess stand, longingly, at drinks and appetizers on other diners' tables. I promise, this group will get right to the drinking and eating (the stragglers can play catch up). The drink menu was interesting with the usual Asian beer suspect, with some new-to-me sake and plum wines. It took me a bit to settle in on a drink, but after reviewing the menu, the waiter asked me what I liked and he actually came up with the exact wine that I was thinking of ordering. Perfecto!!! An educated staff goes a long way with this girl right here. After as few sip sips of some yummy sake wine, I started to look over the menu.. okay, well, drool over the menu. I was trying to eat light, since it was later in the evening, but there was about, ohhh... I'd say everything on the menu, that I wanted to order, so that went out the window fairly quickly. That's the great thing about dining with my peeps tho, because we are a sharing kind-of-bunch. This ensures that no one gets the dreaded "order-envy". This night, I was particularly pleased to try (not only my spicy maki trio) some noodles, rice, skewers and dumplings. There are so many other items, I cant wait to try. As mentioned in Andy D's review, the Hamachi Salted Duck Egg - YES!- watch out eggie, I'm coming back for you!! read more

I loved this restaurant so much that I was very tempted to go back the very next day. Amazing and delicious dishes. Not your typical flavors. We ordered the daily appetizer special which was the lobster dumpling. I usually asked for them steamed, but totally forgot and boy am I happy I did. It wasn't fried instead it was softly pan seared which gave it an amazing texture. The filling was spectacular, they should definitely add it to their regular menu. We also had the Momo dumpling which had a smooth potato filling and amazing curry sauce. As the entrée we had the special which was a fried pork shank served with different toppings like mangoes, red onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes and a side of something that looked like tortillas, forgot the name, but the combination of the pork and mango and all the fresh toppings was unbelievable. This is definitely my new favorite place. I can't wait to come back for their sushi. read more

Ok, I been to Japan so please don't describe this as a Japanese restaurant they serve everything Asian under the moon. First of all over all the food did not taste fresh. Miso soup didn't seem warm enough, I don't know how anyone can mess up a version of ahi tuna tartare but they managed to serve something that feels like leftovers pulled from a fridge with stale chips. I really can't wrap my head around how someone could serve a bad tuna tartare but they seem to have The Korean BBQ was so par and the dumplings felt like they pulled it out of the fridge from yesterday's dinner service. on a basic level I ordered a beer and they forgot about it had to remind him 3/4 through the course so I just skipped it. I would say the octopus was not that good either again not fresh but they did serve it with this mashed potato that was actually very good. I would not come here again I would recommend at this restaurant just minimize their menu two things they can actually cook well versus trying to be everything to everyone with the menu and I do one thing totally right except for those mashed potatoes read more

Definitely not your average sushi spot. The restaurant has a very cozy and modern vibe to it, perfect for a date night! My friend and I ordered four rolls, the Z Roll (not on the menu), Chipotle Salmon, New York Spicy Tuna, and the Yuba. The Z roll was my favorite. The Chipotle Salmon roll was not for me at all. But overall the other 3 rolls I highly recommend. For dessert I had to try the Banana Bread with Green Tea Ice Cream.... it was amazzzzzing. read more
