We went here for dinner the other night. We had been to the location at The Falls before and had actually intended to go there but they were booked. So we came here instead. The biggest difference is the ambiance is quite different. The Falls location is so gorgeous and elegant in its decor as well as bigger. This location is much smaller and older. It has a little more of an "authentic" feel you could say. The bathroom situation was not as good. There is only one bathroom. When I went at the end of the meal, I had to remove the toilet tank and fix it because it wouldn't flush. I was able to do so, but it is just an older place and to be expected I guess. You also have to walk through where the servers grab the food from the sushi chefs, and it gets crowded and I felt a bit in the way. You just have to pretend you're in some authentic little NYC -esque restaurant and it's fine LOL. The food, however, was incredible. That's what made us want to go back here for dinner. We each had a Sapporo beer and then a pork gyoza appetizer. It was good.. not the best we've had but that might be unfair since we lived in Japan. But still good. Then for our meals I had the Sokai roll which had crispy shrimp, fresh salmon, and tuna tartare, and my husband had the Acevichado roll. I can't decide which one was better, but I will dream about those rolls. They also are hearty helpings at 10 pieces per roll. For dessert we had the Marquesa Roll which had chocolate, Nutella, cookie, among other things. That was also sooo good but a little rich. Our server was very friendly attentive too! read more

5/5 and we didn't eat at the establishment, we did uber and the food arrived with perfect temperature, and extremely delicious! We called the restaurant to let them know. Kailyn was grateful and from that interaction, I can only imagine how great the service is in the restaurant. This was our first time eating here and we will go back. As for what we ordered, it was as follows: CRISPY SALMON TRUFFLE GUACAMOLE, ROCKSTAR ROLL, COPPERFIELD ROLL & THE SOKAI POKE BOUL TUNA. Be sure to ask for kimchi sauce on the side to amp the experience. The roll with the almonds was better than the one without so added the kimchi one amps it up. The CRISPY SALMON TRUFFLE GUACAMOLE was also good but I would ask for extra truffle. Even without these suggestions, they're all good. Great spot! We will be back. Be sure to check them out and enjoy! read more

My friend suggested Sokai for lunch, and off we went with her two little ones. We arrived on a weekday at about 1 pm, and the mall parking where the restaurant is located was popping. There weren't any open parking spaces, but I was able to park on the side of the road, where others had parked. We sat at a table near the entrance. The restaurant itself isn't very large, but it felt spacious enough. Our server, Stephany, was super sweet and accommodating. She quickly gave the kids their coloring sheets and crayons and helped set up the table in a manner that we could easily fit the stroller comfortably. We ordered from their lunch menu, where every dish is $13.99 from noon to 3 Monday through Friday. My friend and I both ordered poke bowls, and the kids shared a pollo saltado from the same menu, even though they do have a kids' menu. All the dishes were delicious and solid portions. Great value and lunch spot for all ages. I would like to come back and try some of the yummy rolls on the menu. read more

This place has some of the most solid sushi for takeout around my vicinity. I love this place and everyone should support this place instead of Sushi Shitaake read more

Wow! We've been to Sokai several times and even ordered takeout from them during the pandemic but we've mostly had their sushi. Today Sokai was one of three options that I gave my husband for dinner and it did not disappoint! We started with two lemonades - a strawberry and a passionfruit. They were really good but we were hoping that they would be like the limonada in Peru. We ordered: Asia roll Jalea de Mariscos Truffle porcini ramen My husband has been craving jalea for some time and this one exceeded our expectations!! Everything was fresh and the fish melted in our mouths. The octopus and the calamari were tender and the shrimp was just right! The Asia roll was delicious! Very refreshing! The ramen came with a perfectly cooked egg which was cut in half! The truffle porcini sauce was outstanding! Our son would love it! Although he has been to Sokai several times with us and his friends, we usually stick to the appetizers and the sushi rolls. Will definitely be back when he's in town! Veronica, our server, was wonderful and accomodated our needs well. We left happy and very full. I wanted to try the rice pudding with the yuzu ice cream but I was too stuffed!! Next time! read more

I have only dined in here once for a solo lunch date and I enjoyed my food. I had a specialty sushi roll and the fried gyoza and both were delicious! Were they the best sushi and gyoza ever...no...but they were yummy and satisfied my craving. I would love to go back and try some other rolls and plates. read more

Honestly the food is great, the place is cute and the menu is full of delicious choices. However, it's 4 stars instead of 5 because of the service. It's slow, inaccurate and can definitely be majorly improved. Our server kept forgetting the waters we've been asking for, then took for ever to bring the bill and the box and this is a fairly small restaurant. With that said, if you've got the time I definitely recommend this place because the food is delicious. We got the crispy rice, the special rice with smoked duck breast and the crispy chicken and all of the dishes were a 10/10, highly recommended. read more

Very disappointing experience. We were told there was no seating, even though half the restaurant was empty. We spent 30 minutes outside deciding on a takeout order, and no one bothered to mention the kitchen closes at 10 PM. When we came in at 10:00 PM, we were told the kitchen was closed. The manager was rude and unprofessional. Terrible communication and poor customer service. read more

The rolls were delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. The only small drawback was the service from our waitress, she may have been having a rough day but that can happen to anyone. We are definitely coming back with friends to try other rolls and food. Happy hour was a pretty nice surprise! read more

This is one of our go to places in West Kendall for tasty and new sushi plates. The service is amazing and the staff is always so polite. It's small place with some TVs that they adjust if you ask. My favorite thing about this place is the dish: buttery crab. A must! read more

Solid four stars. The food was really good. Had the Doral roll which was spectacular, the Japanese tuna tacos, and a dragon roll. Service was good. We visited on a Saturday night around 7 PM and were able to get a table for three. There was a little bit of a wait afterwards. The only thing I didn't like is that the menus are online only and the menu is pretty big so it's a lot of scrolling. read more

I have been here twice and both times did not take photos. I was trying to focus on who I was with. The service here is great. I loved the personal attention. I love the ginger salad. It is simple but delicious. The dressing is delicious. Their miss soup is very good as well. It is wrll balanced. I enjoyed the Runa tartar Japanese tacos. I just wish they were a little bigger. Or that they would give three for the price. I do not love the ceviche classico. It is ok. I know this is not a Peruvian restaurant. I am very picky about my ceviche and this one is just "off" to me. The JB tempura roll is good but I prefer it without the tempura. I order the Fuji sushi roll with no eel sauce and I love this. It has chopped shrimp, cream cheese, scallions and several.other items. Their cocktails are hit or miss. I am in this area typically every weekend. This is one of only two in the area that are very good. read more

I ordered take out and got 2 sushi rolls and 1 order of chicken noodles which came out to $60 and everything was absolutely bland. I'm pretty sure the chicken in the noodles didn't even have salt. I strongly do not recommend this place. Sorry. read more

Great food! We recommend it those who like meat , fish, chicken etc. Good variety of food to select.

This has become one of my "have to" stops on my trips to Miami. The staff feels like family and the vibe is always great. The Ebi Tiradito was the perfect start to my meal. The sweetness of the shrimp with the slight spiciness of the aji amarillo make this one of my favorite starters. I had the Ceviche Mixto and it didn't disappoint. Great mix of octopus, shrimp and fish to go along with some corn, sweet potato and that amazing leche de tigre with aji amarillo. read more

Amazing sushi, amazing service. I was attended by Edgar. He was super nice, explained their menu and gave me great recommendations. Their crab salad topped with sweet potato fries was something new for me and delicious! Perfect balance of sweet and salty. I also had their jalapeño popper sushi. I wish it was a bit more spicy but it was great regardless. My favorite was the sweet and spicy edamame...Wow. Finger licking good. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Service was ok, friend of mine noticed the waitress watching us like a hawk but not a lot of action was taken on her end so it was a bit awkward/uncomfortable. As for me I had the special fried rice with wagyu prosciutto and it was very sweet compared to a fried rice you would typically order, unfortunately I got food poisoning because shortly after I was extremely sick, no alcohol, no underlying illness, straight up worst food poisoning I've ever had (I won't go into too much detail but I was in the bathroom all night and missed the event we had planned the following day). Sad because this place came to us as a recommendation since we were visiting from out of state. Place is smaller than the pictures online. One had the risotto, flavor was good but the risotto was textured like cottage cheese (over cooked). Another ordered the wagyu steak and the portion was small considering the amount of fat left over.. wouldn't recommend, hopefully they can improve for others deciding to go here. - Saturday night-Monday I've been sick so I'm pretty disappointed read more

Loved this spot! The sushi was great, definitely worth the price and loved all the toppings and variety offered. Scan the QR code when you come to this location as the paper menu seems to not have all of the things they offer. We also tried their tuna sashimi and it was super good! read more

2x1 sushi rolls? In this economy? I'm already a fan. Not the mention the flavor of this sushi roll. I ordered through Uber Eats, the restaurant was having a 2x1 special on 3 items of their menu - and not just on some small appetizers like most restaurants do. I was surprised by the flavors of this roll, although a little intimidated in the beginning almonds and honey gave the roll an amazing touch (I swear it's not weird! It's amazing). Didn't actually go in the restaurant so I can't really review the service or ambiance but I would definitely gives this place another visit. read more

Hidden gem in the Kendall Hammocks area. From all the 3 locations I've visited (Doral, Flagler and Kendall). I'd have to say Kendall wins on the freshest and flavorful of them all. The only problem is the service is a little slow then again there's only one girl doing everything meaning she's the waitress, hostess and one answering phone calls; so it's sort of understandable. To the apparent owner sitting on one of the tables and not even bothering to even ask customers if they want to sit or order; great job buddy! Plenty of parking to choose from. Ps. Go early the place is super tiny. I think it's the smallest one from all the Sokai I've been to. read more

Exceeded my expectations! Everything on the menu looked delicious and they have tons of different dishes, ceviche, tiraditos, tacos and much more! we decided to go for the Dragon Roll, Ebi roll and the Kona roll, they brought them beautifully decorated on a wooden boat. Every roll was delicious my favorite being the Ebi roll, it had such a nice contrast of flavors it made eat the whole thing within the first 10 minutes, it was THAT good. Our server was friendly and very attentive to us. This place is definitely an A++ ! read more

I really enjoyed the food here! If you come in you have to try the shrimp tacos they are to die for, so delicious! The desert roll that we got was also very good and a great finisher to our meal. The sex on the beach roll was good but the dragon roll was just slightly better. There are so many options to choose from and the menu is pretty big. It's a little bit of a fusion without loosing the authenticity. This is a great spot to come to on a casual date or for dinner with family. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Sokai is great alternative to the hit or miss sushi bars in West Kendall. It's happy hour is from 12-6 and tough to beat: $4 Sake bombs, 2-1 rolls, deals on apps too. The service is really great. The food is fresh and the place smells clean. Outside of happy hour- the price skyrockets. They have a really nice Peruvian Fusion kitchen with a Chaufa's, Lomo and etc. read more

I love SOKAI but the Kendall one really needs to improve. I got to the restaurant on a Friday at 9:10pm and it's 10:12 and we haven't received our food. They fulfill Uber eats orders and not their patrons. Only 1 waiter for 11 tables, she did her best but it's not enough. Service is slowwwww, food doesn't come fast enough. You better off ordering online and picking up. I don't recommend this restaurant. Hope you have a better experience and hopefully they improve their service. read more
