I can't say enough nice things about this place. I am a huge fan of Pari Pari which is the sister location so I had to check this one out. The fish is so fresh, the tables are open and inviting. My favorite things to get are hamachi jalapeño and the yellowtail handroll. Service is super top notch and it is located in a market in the design district so it is a full hall of people. I highly recommend! read more

We just stopped in for a quick lunch. They have a nice menu with a lot of options mostly of things I really like! We had the Salmon Special and the edamame. Both were very good. The salmon was very fresh. The service was excellent and we got our food quick even though it was a busy day. read more

I cannot believe I had one of the best sushi in a food hall at the Miami Design District. The fish melts in your mouth and it combined so well with the sauces. I usually always order spicy mayo on the side, but it was not needed for this roll. We liked it so much that we had to buy it again. Not because we were hungry but it was just that delicious. I also tried the Wagyu hand roll and it was fantastic as well. I also loved the service and cleanliness from the place. I will definitely return to here to have this special roll again. read more

High quality fish for very good prices! We got the omakase and shared a few other things. Honestly even the cucumber roll was superb. We also took a charcoal toro and a bourbon toro which were excellent as well. Hamachi jalapeño is a must. Quickly prepared and super fresh. Really nice that it's by the design district, you wouldn't think you'd get good quality fish in a food court but this really surprised us. Even the service was great dispite it not being a sit down restaurant, always coming by the tables to check on us. They also accommodate to specific tastes and provide kosher fish options. Will definitely be coming again! read more

Recently going to an eating event I found Yasu Tanaka and I knew I had to get a bite. I am always on the lookout for the best sushi in Miami and this place has not let me down.... Those that know sushi know that the rice is where the magic happens but this place goes above and beyond with not only amazing rice but the quality of the fish you get is on par with what I've experienced in Japan... this is one of those places that cares about the quality of the food they put out and your taste buds will sense that love. Can't wait to visit their brick and mortar to see what other high quality items they make that can make my tummy smile. read more

I first tried the Wagyu and Uni and omg it was my top 3 for best i've ever had. i then decided to do the Omakase special and just WOW. I have no complaints. my three favorite nigiri's were the salmon, wagyu, and toro. It's pricey but i would definitely come back. I tried other places around and Yasu Tanaka tops them all. The service was also amazing. All around 100/10 experience. read more

Food came out really quick, and the serving felt high quality even though it's a food mall. The server was well dressed and my food looked amazing. I didn't know what to expect, it's salmon with avocado topped with torched salmon, spicy mayo, eel sauce and truffle oil. The salmon was so soft and the torched salmon on top is a great touch, it genuinely melts in my mouth and the crunchy rice crackers on top is an amazing touch. I have no idea how they made it that way but the sauce and oil blends great too, it's one of the few rolls I don't have to drown in soy sauce and can actually enjoy the taste. The actual area has a very nice vibe to it, the ambiance is great there's music playing at the bar area and there's circular overhead lights that gives a nice feel even though it's in a mall. read more

Probably my new favorite sushi spot in Miami. I have tried all the high end spots (Osaka, Zuma, Paperfish, Katsuya, the Den, Hiden, etc) and the quality of the fish here rivals the best dishes from these. We ordered the omakase platter and thoroughly enjoyed each bite. Also tried the salmon and tuna platters which were both wonderful as well. The only thing that didn't do much for us were the cut rolls. For the price point, the nigiri is well worth it. Hope to check out their new location in Brickell soon! read more

I happened to be in MIA market checking out the dining options and came across Sushi Yasu Tanaka. What really drew my attention to this spot was the omakase menu: for the price of $60 you receive 10 nigiri pieces and a handroll. Honestly you can't get any more bang for your buck than this! I was so blown away by the nigiri pieces, every bite was so flavorful and FRESH! The tuna pieces especially were so fatty, they just melt in your mouth. The rice is has light touches of vinegar and it's not overpowering. What was also notable to me was the scallop nigiri - while I'm not the biggest scallop fan, the scallop was so fatty and a burst of spice came forth with the first bite. The piece was so unique I had to include it in my review. The service was quick and they serve you the handroll after you've finished with the nigiri. Honestly you are paying for the quality of food without having to pay for the expense of sitting inside a fancy restaurant - which I don't mind one bit. I sat down inside MIA market with my friend and had a wonderful time working through our meal. MIA market is kept very clean and has lots of windows for plenty of natural sunlight. I definitely want to visit again and can say with confidence this is a true gem in disguise. read more

Sushi Yasu Tanaka - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Sushi Yasu Tanaka is located within the MIA market in the Design District. The MIA market should do a better job at cleaning and keeping a better ambiance in general, while this place looked much better a few years ago, it's just another food hall or a mall food court today, it's not in par with the designer stores just a few steps away from it. Once you enter, it smells to fabuloso cleaner, no kidding. This is not Sushi Yasu Tanaka's fault, it's all on MIA market. As for the sushi, I loved the quality, freshness and flavors of this nigiri selection as well as the presentation. However, this is not a truly omakase, it's just a sample plate. There is a different between omakase and a random selection of a la carte nigiris. Price was alright, not the cheapest, nor the most expensive either. I would say it was ok. All in all, I will return but will order a la carte next time. read more

Don't get me wrong the sushi here is delicious but it is very pricey for MIA market. I came by for a quick lunch, just 2 hand rolls and my bill was around $28 I think. Wasn't expecting it to be that much but I had been wanting to try it. There's so many sushi options available not sure if I'd come back here specifically. Quality is great though! read more

If you find yourself at Sushi Yasu Tanaka inside Mia Market, do yourself a favor and try the ube dessert. It might be my new favorite. Layers of sweet purple yam (ube) sit over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, finished with a touch of edible gold leaf--simple but unforgettable. Altogether with tax, it came to just under $13, which felt worth every penny. I can't speak to the rest of the menu, but the service was quick and friendly. The seating area is clean and spay. read more

The quality for the price is truly unbeatable. The service is fast, and the prices are more than fair at $60 for the 10 piece omakase and a handroll. Forget Omakai and all the others and come here. The restaurant is just a stall in a food hall (MIA Market), so it's easy to roll up with a group of any size--even by yourself!--or try other things if someone in your group doesn't want to commit to sushi. It's true that some of the ambiance that come with a traditional, intimate sushi restaurant is lost. You come here for a no-frills, food-forward meal, not sushi Disneyland. If sushi Disneyland is what you're looking for, Miami has plenty of other outstanding options like Shingo and Hiyakawa. read more

I stumbled upon MIA market trying to find a drink with bae. I noticed the restaurants in the market, I began looking them up just to check out reviews and to see if they were any good. I looked up Yasu Tanaka and was floored by the amount of 5 star reviews. I told bae, "we have to go there to try at least one thing," earlier we came from Tap 42. :/ ehhh...don't recommend. But we were full. Anyway, I talked to the guy at the front and told him congrats on the amazing reviews and how good the food must be. He thanked us, and persuaded us to at least try a hand roll. We did!! We waited. And they ended up bringing us an extra one! How nice! The Hamachi Hand rolls were amazing!! Super fresh, simple, and perfect. Fresh ginger and a perfect finish to our day! Thank you Yasu! I can't wait to come back to try the Omakase. Another 5 star review for your thoughtfulness and quality food! read more

By far my favorite place in Miami to get sushi. The lunch special is not only unbeatable, but the quality of fish is unlike any other place here in Miami. It's so soft and buttery. The chef is so sweet and you can tell this place really is authentic and he loves what he does. I've recommended this place to at least 10 people over the years and they've all become obsessed. read more

WOW! This place has been on my list forever, and I'm so glad I finally got around to coming here. Its casual in an upscale food hall, food comes out in 10 minutes max. It's not cheap, but it is cheap for omakase style sushi at this quality. The fish was so fresh, delicious, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and quality lunch. read more

Food here was excellent. I got the omakase, salmon sushi, and ube soybean ice cream. The hand roll and omakase selection were fresh and fantastic with each fish having its unique texture and flavor highlighted. The salmon was excellent. Nice fatty and smooth cuts of salmon with a couple being charred to add some more layers of flavor. Ice cream was amazing. The complimentary flavors of ube and soybean was a great mix of umami, salty, and sweet. Atmosphere is an inconspicuous food hall which the main staff for this restaurant being the sushi chefs. read more

THE sushi spot in the Design District. Sushi Yasu Tanaka is located within the MIA Market, tucked away in the corner but is such a gem. When you enter the MIA Market, there are so many things to choose from but, if you're a sushi fanatic, definitely plan to grab a bite here! They offer platters, specials, and even omakase. I love the omakase because it's such a different format from normal omakase. It's more of a causal experience but still so special. The fish tastes so fresh and of high quality, you'll question if you're even in a food hall concept but I would expect nothing less from the Design District. I've done both the omakase and the salmon special and both are so great. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

One of my friends recommended here. To enjoy really good sushi, I need my Japanese friend!! So, we stopped by here today to enjoy Omakase. It came with 10 pieces of nigiri and one hand roll. All sushi were so fresh and tasty! We felt like we were in Japan! It's hard to get authentic sushi in Miami but this place has it. It's hidden inside the MIA market food hall. Even your friend or a company won't east raw fish, there are plenty other options. The service was a bit slow since it was a busy day. But this food hall is beautiful and while you are waiting, you could look around other places or grab a drink at the bar. read more

Fish were cut so thin there were holes. Could barely taste much of the fish because the ratio was off. We spent $150 for 2 people sitting in a food court... not worth it. Very disappointed. read more

Great lunch sushi, in fact the sushi could be dinner it was so good. Not much else to say, in a food court, so no atmosphere, no interaction with the chef de cuisine, so it misses out on the sushi counter experience. read more

How amazing it is to find a delicious option inside a food hall. This sushi counter spot inside Miami's Mia Market delivers high-quality food in an informal space, with outstanding service. They have a small menu, full of fresh and quality fish, some appetizers, and Omakase (10 pieces and one hand roll). They follow the idea of keeping it simple but delicious, the staff is very nice and always helping and explaining each piece of menu items. One of my favorite bites is the Uni & Ikura hand roll, the way that the fresh Uni melts with popping Ikura makes this hand roll a piece of heaven. If you are a sushi lover this will be your favorite spot in Miami. read more

One of the best values I've seen for sushi in a while! Yes, the location is a little weird. However, if this is the trade off between a $59 10 piece omakase + hand roll vs this being a $140 meal, I would eat this in a parking lot. The quality is definitely top notch, and the chef here takes what he does seriously. It's a little hard to find - you have to walk up the escalator towards MIA Market, and it's in the back of MIA market. You pay at the counter, you get a number, and then you sit down nearby. There are two nicer booths that were empty when we got there, but there are also regular tables and high tops. They bring out the 10 pieces at once, so pace yourself lol. I thought this was an amazing value considering I got a tuna trio in there, a scallop nigiri, etc. hand roll was toro also! I would definitely return when I'm craving sushi and not trying to come out of my meal broke. read more

Probably one of the most underrated sushi spots in Miami. Located inside Design District's, MIA Market, you wouldn't expect to find such high quality, perfectly curated sushi, nigiri and hand roll menu but there it is -- a spot every sushi lover should try. Run by former chef of the den at Azabu, the michelin rated chef Yasu Tanaka knows how to create beautiful creations of hand rolls, nigiri samplers and maki rolls you didn't know your taste buds needed. Recently, I indulged in the tuna sampler which consisted of 3 tuna makis, 2 fatty tuna nigiris that were torched, 2 less fatty ones and 2 even less fatty... wow, wow, wow, I was speechless. I really hope everyone gets a chance to try this spot out because you certainly will not regret it. read more

Beautiful fresh fish served quickly and simply. The chef and owner should take pride in his approach and creations. We love the omakase and the hand rolls.

The best sushi that exists in South Florida. But take note, once you eat this no other sushi in all of Miami will ever taste as good. I almost always get the salmon 5 piece, ototo charcoal and two wagyu miso hand rolls. But as you can imagine, everything is going to be amazing. Also, it's located inside of the food hall in palm court. Very easily accessible. read more

I popped by the design district's food hall after running an errand in the area. Located in the far back left is sushi yasu tanaka. I haven't had good sushi in a while and after hearing some good buzz about this spot, I decided to give it a shot. At first approaching the counter one of the chefs right away greeted me and asked me how they could help. After looking at the menu I selected the five piece course. Wow. The sushi is incredible. Really high quality. No real need to add additional soy sauce. The fish melts in your mouth. The rice is well prepared. I will definitely go back and look forward to trying one of their larger options. Keep up the great work! read more

WHAT IS THIS PLACE? I've probably walked by it 50 times and always thought, "Ugh, food court sushi." Then I took a minute to watch what some diners were eating and I was intrigued. I finally ordered the omakase and was shocked at the flavor and the quality. It's something I'd expect for twice the price at a much fancier venue. The menus is simple - just a few options. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Quality and flavor is off the charts. Is it wrong to go back for lunch two days in a row??? read more
