Even though there were lots of people there, the staff was very attentive and constantly kept a smile on their face.

So this has been our regular spot for quite some time now. I almost don't want to leave a review…read morebecause I'd love to gatekeep this place. We were customers of Katana ( sister restaurant) for quite a while but the wait times were not pretty. We decided to drive an extra 30 mins to try out Shima and we've never turned back. So it's the same wait list style as Katana but the line moves faster and there's more tables. What I absolutely love is the staff and servers. They truly make us feel right at home from the moment we walk in. We wait our turn like everyone else but the minute we sit down the servers are super attentive. Darling and the team are just the best! The seared spice salmon is to die for!! 7 orders are placed within 30 seconds of being seated. I've tried almost everything on the menu and so far nothing I didn't like. The fish is super fresh and boats have a nice variety. They are super accommodating as we always go with our 3.5 year old. We've taken a lot of friends here with us and to drive 30 mins out of way when Katana is only 10 mins away speaks for itself.

Perfectly grilled, flaky, and that chimichurri with a thick squeeze of fresh lemon? INSANE. The grilled avocado with soy sauce in the middle was another 10/10. Three avocado halves is technically enough to share, but I ate everything myself because protein and healthy fats matter. Super chic, perfect for lunch, and the service was BEAUTIFUL. Attentive without hovering and somehow they knew what you needed before you asked. And you can shop after? Dangerous. I'll be back every other day. Just kidding. Kind of.

Parking is easy and they have a full bar - more "adult" setting- in the far back. It's pretty cool but their drink prices are pretty ridiculous... I have noticed is the prices have gone up disproportionately to their quality of service. I know customer service standards have decreased since Covid but I was disappointed this last time I went - the older lady server gave me a late night happy hour price (suppose to be cheaper after 10pm) for my beer drafts and when the check came with a different price she had another server tell us "sorry" that's not the case... she also never really checked on us after dropping the food off...

It is SAD. My first…read moresushi experience as a kid was in Hiro the old location when Hiro was the chef. It was so good. It was good when Hiro was at the new location. The food now is disgusting. The salad dressing has always been good but the lettuce for the salad is some cheap garbage. The food we got was gross. I feel sick. Some creep broke glasses at the bar and it sprayed glass all over the restaurant hitting my back. They had to call the police. The manager didn't even come out to apologize. I have a bruise. This isn't an isolated incident the last few times I've been there the bar has had drama. Never coming back. There is way better late night food now.

I usually approach fusion restaurants with a healthy amount of skepticism. Too often, they feel…read morelike culinary speed dating, two cuisines forced together in the hope that chemistry magically appears. More often than not, one side dominates, the other disappears, and everybody loses. At Amazonia, a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant in Miami, that fear evaporates somewhere around the first bite. The opening argument came in the form of Gyoza Huancaína, pan-fried dumplings stuffed with lomo saltado and served with a vivid yellow huancaína sauce. It is the kind of dish that sounds gimmicky when described aloud. Then you eat it. The dumplings delivered deep savory notes from the beef, while the creamy sauce added brightness, spice, and richness. It felt less like a fusion experiment and more like a dish that had always existed. Four dumplings arrived on the plate. Four was not enough. My entrée, the Midori Risotto, continued the conversation between Japan and Peru. A strikingly green risotto made with kale and edamame arrived topped with grilled shrimp, microgreens, and dots of black garlic aioli. The rice was cooked properly, retaining a slight bite, while the edamame added texture and sweetness. The shrimp brought balance to the richness, and the black garlic aioli quietly tied everything together. It was a dish that managed to be both comforting and elegant. To drink, I ordered the Nikkei Lemonade, a blend of yuzu, Peruvian ginger, and huacatay. Bright, citrusy, and refreshing, it reset the palate after each bite and served as a reminder that the fusion extends beyond the food. My wife chose the braised short rib, a dish for diners who may not be ready to take the full leap into the restaurant's more adventurous offerings. Braised for 72 hours and served over mashed potatoes, it collapsed under the gentlest pressure from a fork. The beef was intensely flavorful, and the braising liquid was rich enough to make you consider asking for a spoon. Dessert brought one final East-meets-West moment. The Flan Nikkei paired a silky custard with miso caramel, whipped cream, and fresh strawberry. The miso added just enough savory depth to keep the sweetness from becoming predictable. It was a thoughtful ending to a meal built on thoughtful combinations. Amazonia succeeds because it understands something many fusion restaurants do not. Combining cuisines is not about piling flavors on top of one another. It is about finding where they naturally intersect. Here, Japanese precision and Peruvian boldness meet in the middle, and both emerge better for it. Fusion rarely wins me over, but Amazonia makes a compelling case for keeping an open mind.

My niece and I decided to try this restaurant on a whim. I'm so glad we did because the service and…read morefood was phenomenal!! Our server Claudia was so nice and helpful with explaining the different dishes. You also are treated to a complimentary mocktail and sweet yam bite to start. Claudia even provided us a tablet to see the pictures of the various dishes offered which helped us decide what to try. We started off with a mocktail that had coconut, passion fruit, hibiscus tea and pineapple. That drink was delicious and I didn't miss the alcohol. For starters we had the salmon crispy rice and that was so filling and delicious. Then we had the scallops in the black truffle sauce which was perfect a seared to perfection. We also ordered the kumogani roll which is crab based and that was very tasty with or without soy sauce. We loved everything we tried and will definitely go back to try other items on the menu. I highly recommend trying them out if you're in the area.

This has been one of my top go-to spots to bring my family, so it was disappointing to have a different experience this time. We ordered a variety of dishes, including some of our usual favorites. I got the spicy edamame, which unfortunately seemed a bit overcooked--the beans were much softer than I prefer. My daughter ordered a chicken dish that ended up being mostly breading with very little chicken inside. I also ordered my usual salmon teriyaki, but this time the sauce tasted overcooked, almost burnt, which made it difficult to enjoy. I even had my daughter and her boyfriend try it to make sure it wasn't just me, and they both agreed. That said, not everything missed. The service was amazing. My daughter liked the miso soup. The Crunchy Joy roll (I believe that's the name) was very good, and the deep-fried pork gyoza was amazing as always. Overall, I was very disappointed since this place has consistently been one of my favorites. I'm hoping this was just an off day and that my next visit is back to the quality I'm used to. This is the reason for my three stars.

The buffet has a wide selection of dishes, from sushi and hibachi to hot entrees and seafood, so there's definitely something for everyone. The sushi bar was one of the highlights for me--fresh, constantly restocked, and with a decent variety of rolls to choose from. I also appreciated the made-to-order hibachi station, where you can customize your plate and have it cooked right in front of you. It adds a nice touch compared to your typical buffet. The atmosphere is pretty standard for a buffet--busy and a bit loud at times--but the staff does a good job keeping things moving and clearing tables quickly. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, which is always a big plus.
