My husband and I were in Miami for our anniversary tonight and I have to say I was blown away by the professionalism and talent of the chef's. They were knowledgeable about their craft and every mouthful was not only delicious and unique, but the chefs went through their process with us on how they made each dish. The ambience was calming and comforting and enhanced the experience of a lovely date night I don't think we will forget. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful anniversary that we will treasure for years to come-Ray and Will read more

Best omakaze experience. All of the nigiri bites are thoughtfully crafted and genuinely enjoyed every single one. I've been twice and both times were just as amazing. The chefs are very knowledgeable and friendly and all of the staff is extremely attentive. 100% will be going back soon. read more

World class experience. The staff is phenomenal. The food is epic. The omakase is easily 5 out of 5 stars. Definitely worthy of the Sushi|Bar name. I think it's even better than the Austin location. Every piece is truly unique. The flavors are impeccable. The service and the chefs are always on point. It's one of the best experiences, and meals you can have in Miami. Very cool hidden speakeasy vibes. My goal is to visit all of them. Lol. Austin and Miami down... read more

An intimate Omakase Speakeasy tucked away in the heart of South Beach. I felt immersed in a culinary adventure like no other. Seating only 10 -14 fortunate guests (make your reservation with anticipation), you will be captivated as you sit right up to the cutting boards of its talented chefs. read more

Two words--ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!! What an absolute party in the mouth. It is pricey but worth every dollar. Treat yourself, at least once! The night consisted of about 16-17 nigiri pieces plus dessert. Every piece kept getting better and better!!! read more

The experience started with a welcome cocktail in El Salon which is located outside of the lobby of the hotel. This was fine, although that initial impression could use a bit more tweaking with perhaps a more attention to hospitality---we were seated , given our Prosecco mixed with something that I honestly can't recall and sat down to wait at a table. Would have been a little more congenial to have been offered water as well, perhaps have a napkin placed under the cocktail but that is me noticing details. I always say the devil is in the details but I didn't see much at that point. :) Next, however,I was surprised! Things went way uphill from there. The staff was great, the entire 'experience' was extremely well put together , the food was absolutely delicious, high quality, professionally executed, and I would definitely recommend this wonderful gem of a restaurant. Especially so to anyone that loves omakase and wants to try a 'modern' and updated version of it. I tend to prefer traditional, less complicated and clean omakase but this was a very nice surprise for me! For someone that doesn't love sushi so much or has not tried omakasse I would recommend this to EVEN MORE. This place will change your mind! I've lived in NYC , been to almost all the omakase's there and now live in Miami and we are so happy that places like the Sushi Bar Miami and others in our city which has matured culinarily and in many other ways! Recommend! read more

Everything about our experience here was amazing. Highly recommend this place to all the sushi enthusiasts! Thank you for a great time, amazing food and everything else! read more

The pieces were very creative and the atmosphere was great; however, their portion sizes are an insult to omakase. Have never seen anyone really deviate from a standard size piece of nigiri - these pieces are half of that, if not less. Again, everything else was great, but for $220/head after tax and service (assuming no drinks) it's extremely difficult to justify coming here. read more

My goodness. I don't know where to begin. Between the amazing (un-pretentious) staff and the myriad of flavors on this taste journey, this may be the finest sushi I have ever experienced. Chef Francis (nicest chef...no gatekeeping!) bids on uni at 4am! Fresh seafood from Japan, saki pairing from a sommelier (Sean...spectacular) this was an experience in its own and the bestttt date night! Kanpai!! read more

Good sushi but tourist trap prices Good people watching if you like watching very wealthy latin americans in nice clothes

This was one of the best omakase experiences I've had. Price was not too bad considering the sushi that was servers. The chefs took their time and explained each piece and also answered all questions we had. I would definitely go back when in Miami. read more

My husband and i celebrated our one of our honeymoon dinners here. Our expectations were high going in, as its not a cheap experience and we wanted to feel a little spoiled... and it was hands down worth it. Of course, Sushi Bat hit all the staples that we love about most Omakase experiences -- the intimacy, the delicacy, and the quality ingredients. But what set it apart was the attention to detail from start to finish to immerse you in something unique to SushiBar. One of my personal favorite touches was the speakeasy bar entrance for the night with a complimentary welcome cocktail in the lounge. My husband and I both usually order sake at Omakase experiences, but we were convinced to try the sake pairing and it was truly the beat decision of the night. Their sushi rolls are already one of a kind, and the sake pairings that went along with them were also unlike anything i would have ever tried.. and were all amazing. The sushi chefs were attentive and gave us recommendations of other places in miami to try and really hooked us up with tips and tricks to make not only this night, but the rest of our stay unforgettable. Cant wait to recommend this place to others and come back soon. read more

I have had my favorite bite of fish ever at this place and it happened more than once. The whole experience was fantastic I would use the word superb but I had to have my lovely welcome cocktail outside and it was cold as they had a private party at the Salon . But after that we were welcomed into the Sushi bar and the fabulousness began. Piece after piece of tender beautiful fish just flowed in this 17+ course meal . Each creation showcased the flavor of the fish. The toppings varied some smoke some citrus some umami. Each used sparingly so the fish, crustacean or A5 wagyu shines. I thought that I would never eat unagi again, but they prepared it with the schmaltz of the wagyu and I had to just stop talking stop drinking to savor the sweet sensation Then after all done you have the option to let the chef create something unique. Oh mine was an Uni wrap heaven. $18 extra and I would have done more but was too full. I need to go back, I almost want to start the experience backwards. Worth every cent. Along with my first sparkling sake and the ever and friendly chefs that explain every detail of what you eat read more

Lovely execution of Omakase in south beach. The cozy (and hidden) seating for 12 had an inviting and intoxicating vibe. We entered the bar and were offered a signature cocktail. The hostess then led us to the Omakase room, which was candle lit and inviting. The eating experience was manned by 3 chefs and a waiter who tended to our drinks. We opted for the sake pairings which were a lovely complement to dinner. Each sushi bite was better than the next- the fish and the enhancements such as truffle, sesame, cilantro etc were fantastic and creative. The chef then offered 2 more bites (for an additional fee) followed by desert. My only minor quibble was the serving of the alcohol- I never felt that the new libation was there for me when I was ready, it was not quite "paired" with the sushi courses. Overall we truly enjoyed ourselves and there was also a great social dynamic and we enjoyed mingling with the other guests since we were all together 12- it was intimate and fun. Be prepared for the price tag- it was not for the faint at heart. The bill for our 4-some was a little over $1500. But we were not sorry! read more

An exceptional experience. On par with Masa in NYC. Each course was better than the next. Recommend the sake pairing. Will definitely return! read more

We booked this place totally by chance and tbh we are so amazed by the quality and creativity of this place. LOVE IT. Perhaps the best Omakase we have ever had. Every sushi is a mixture of multiple tastes, stretching our tasting experience. I like the scallop, Akami and wagyu+caviar very much. We will definitely pay a second visit. read more

Hands down the best Omakase sushi bars I have ever experienced. Absolutely amazing food & service in such an intimate setting. Do a sake pairing! If you are in Miami and don't eat here you are missing out. read more

Sushi Bar is a modernized omakase experience. I was blown away by every thoughtful detail, from the moment I stepped foot into the Esmé hotel til the very end of dinner-- it was a journey. I won't spoil it, you should just experience it for yourself. Chef Francis is incredible, and so is his team. They were a joy to have on the other side of the sushi bar and not just cause they were preparing delectable bites that would blow my mind every time. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back read more

Exceptional food, great service and nice ambiance. The restaurant was excellent. The food was well prepared and very tasty.

Very special experience with Chef Ambrely and her team. Very talented at Sushi and we included the Sake paring. Would highly recommend this experience. If you really like sushi this is not a place to pass up. read more

Best dining experience I ever had. Michelin star worthy! The chefs at sushi bar are truly geniuses. The most delicious food my mouth has ever had the privilege of tasting. The quality and care that goes into every detail of every bite is almost unrealistic. I will certainly be going back and SOON. This is not just a meal but rather an experience of a lifetime. If you're in Miami Beach and consider yourself foodie, this is a must. If you like sushi, this is a must. If you love life, this is a must! -Foodie read more

Spent our one night in Miami with Marco, Carlos, Tyler and the fantastic team at sushi bar. Took a 945pm serving and joined for an intimate nearly one one one spectacular meal. Inventive, fresh, and slam dunk sake pairings to boot. A true unique experience, especially for you foodies out there. read more

My wife and I just finished dinner here and it was incredible. Food was excellent, experience was on point. One of my favorite food experiences. It was also really fun and not stuffy as this kind of service can be. Francis, the chef, was awesome and super engaging. The other staff were also very good. Overall, the best sushi I've ever had and one of the best dining experiences as well. Bravo! read more

All courses were delicious! Service was impeccable and the ambiance was extraordinary

Hands down the most intimate and best omakase experience we've ever had. Super delicious and one of a kind experience. Amazing sake pairings. Worth every penny. read more

Omakase with a Miami twist. Mainstream fish served with flavors of Peruvian ceviche, ny salmon everything bagels, pop Rocks lime caviar, hints of guava, lots of bites finished with Jacobson sea salt. Not totally traditional. Fresh ingredients and interesting choices of seasonings but not 5 stars. Having been to many omakase seatings in Miami, LA, and NY I would say that the experience is 5/5 with a fun complementary cocktail to start you off at the salon next door and then a small group seating in a private den hosted by charismatic sushi chefs. Had the portions been larger(my uni nigiri seemed to be a half portion), and the rest of the bites were on the smaller side it would have been better. The food was very good. We paid for an upgraded a5 Wagyu with caviar that was decadent but the upgraded foie gras bite was not worth it.( it tasted muted, like crème fresshe...good for those less adventurous). Pro tip: try to get the last seating for opportunity of extra bites, but I doubt they will be complimentary. We left a little hungry and ended up eating fried pickles at the roof bar next door. I would compare this experience to sushi by scratch in coconut grove. read more

This was my second time here , and It was absolutely incredible both times. The sushi chefs explain everything before they prepare every dish , and every single course was a work of art. I would have to say this experience, and place is one of the best that I have ever been to. read more

***UPDATE*** Enjoyed an incredible dinner last night at Sushi Bar! After an administrative mistake (this happens to the best of restaurants), Sam (GM in Miami) reached out directly to help us secure a new reservation. We were extremely happy with the food quality, service, culinary know-how, and overall vibe of the experience. From the welcome cocktail at El Salon (delicious lychee / prosecco combination) to the 17-course omakase to the meticulously crafted sake pairing, we were impressed with the food quality. The executive chef Ambrely Ouimette is so charasmatic and engaging - she was able to make the 10 of us seated at the bar feel like we were having an extravagant sushi experience inside of her living room! I loved how the chef was able to strike a challenging balance of executing dishes with the precision that characterizes top traditional sushi restaurants while bringing in creative notes from other cuisines. The add-ons of caviar, foie gras, and truffle were completely worthwhile. The assistant chefs had the opportunity to carefully explain each bite, walking us through the multi-step process and showing the fresh ingredients (like the natural wasabi -- delicious!) Overall, we really were impressed by this experience and 10/10 would recommend it to other Miami diners looking to enjoy sushi and a good time. Sushi Bar is clearly elevating the Miami omakase scene to the next level. I hope they bring one to Brooklyn soon. :) read more

One of the best meals of my life! Each bite was unique and perfectly balanced. The creativity and mastery of sushi deserves Michelin status. Both sushi chefs bring their styles to the experience in a wonderfully cohesive way. The cocktails were incredible and the sake pairing is a MUST. Trust their curated list - it is impeccable. I cannot recommend this place enough! It deserves all the accolades. read more

This entire dining experience is incredible. I had never tried omakase before and Sushi Bar blew my mind. Absolutely obsessed this concept. On top of the ingredients being so fresh and the hospitality being out of this world, the unique, intimate setting and conversations with Chef Francis and his team made me feel so welcome. Will be back next time I'm in Miami. read more

Amazing place, definitely hurry to make a reservation before the waiting list gets bigger!

We tried Sushi Bar while visiting South Beach and it was amazing. We got lucky and had the whole small seating area to ourselves. Service was amazing. The chefs described each course in detail. You have a bowl of unique pickled veggies instead of the typical pickled ginger to cleanse your palate. The sake pairing is definitely recommended - again each one is described in detail along with why it's a chosen pair for the next course. The sushi was great, definitely a different twist as every one is many layers of flavor and texture - not just rice, wasabi, fish, and soy. Wish I could eat here every night. read more

Wonderful service by the chefs and wait staff, but thats where the good parts end. Ate here on Feb 7th, 2023, and within 1-1.5hrs got extremely bad food poisoning that took over a week and change to fully feel better from. Main symptoms took about 1.5 days to quell, and subsequent ailments like cramps and (to keep it PG) "uneasy digestive issues" persisted well into the upcoming week. Manager Sam called me days after I contacted them about the situation just to tell me poorly informed statistics about Servesafe practices and insisted the single plain slice of pizza I had roughly 10 hours prior was the culprit because "our Austin location hasn't had any issues in 2 years" as if that mattered. Then stated matter of factly, "per the cdc food poisoning shows up 8-10 hours after ingesting the food" (while this is a correct timeline for a few bacteria to develop, it's far from being exclusively true especially when dealing with raw food and improper storage/handling/cross contamination). None the less, with some pieces having 8 plus ingredients of various nature and the Sushi and many toppings being served very conspicuously warm. It seemed and tasted like the raw ingredients had been out all day. This place is a potential recipe for disaster. I was assured they "looked through everything" as if staph and other bacteria is visible enough to look for. Sams solution was simply to "comp a couple of drinks on your next visit". I expect better from a restaurant thats nearly 400$ per person (no drinks were had, did the 3 "upgrades" ~40ish$ value, which included a shaved heap of some of the most unpleasant, dry and pungent fois gras I've ever had and for an additional amount, a few extra pieces of sushi at the end.) Overall, as someone that seeks out fine dining establishments in the hundreds of WELL documented places I travel to per year; this is a place I just simply recommend you stay far away from. There is tons of better food in Espanola Way with managers whom are actually familiar with health codes and don't try to play the customer as stupid. Again, poisoning aside, the atmosphere was very pleasant, the chefs and us patrons had fantastic conversations throughout the dining experience. If you would like to chance being violently sick, then this may be a place of interest. But with no less than 20ish different toppings with many being touted as aged, brined and in house fermented; I had a lot of ingredients to ponder upon as everything was violently expelled from EVERY SINGLE hole my body had for the immediate 7+hrs after eating there. This place is far from Vegas, so roll the dice at your own discretion. Between rebooking my flight home and adding an extra day on my hotel due to being too sick to travel back home, this was a +1000$ experience that was quite possibly the worst I've ever had in my life. Sam's ignorance in health and food safety was astounding and I figured once I told him that I've also been in the industry for years (as a blaring hint) he would stop trying to BS with me, but alas, he doubled down - to which I cordially decided to end the conversation. Save your money, time and health and just skip this establishment, or don't - but thats a risk I urge you not to chance on. read more

Wow wow wow. My daughter booked this dinner so we could have an "experience" together and we got just that. (It was our first time doing an omakase dinner) It was truly a memorable and amazing experience. I don't think I'll ever enjoy sushi again (until I return) because this was the best tasting, melt in your mouth fish I've ever had. The flavors were unique and delightful. The staff was incredible and Chef Francis made us feel so welcome and answered all of our questions. The environment is comfortable and the entire adventure makes you want to come back and tell all your friends about it!! read more
