Our favorite date night sushi spot! This isn't your ordinary place, it's different in every way. The fish is always fresh, delicious and served with a smile. Portions are what you expect for sushi and each dish is served with a special sauce and is perfectly paired. You won't see the standard soy sauce bottles on the table here, and the edamame is grilled... so tasty! You will never have an empty plate on your table, teamwork is exceptional here. One server will refill your water and another will take away your dirty plate, it's really noticeable how they all work together. The restaurant is pretty cold so bring a sweatshirt/ sweater or ask for a cozy blanket. They will gladly loan you one. Reservations are highly recommended, and definitely try their happy hour. Everything here is excellent and don't forget about dessert, the house dessert is unbelievable and we have never had anything like it! Absolutely delicious. Enjoy! read more

We were so excited for Omakase Happy Hour! $120 for 2 people turned out to be just OK. It's a very busy restaurant and even though Japanese, we had to ask for ginger, wasabi and soy sauce. I didn't enjoy the omakase choices. Some dishes were under salted, the steak bites were way heavily salted and the filler rice dish was terribly sour. We ordered off the regular menu - the uni sushi was not fresh. It left a guttery bitter after taste. A huge pass. Honestly, I wasn't impressed with the service, food or pricing. It turned out pretty $$$$ too. And I wasn't even full. Check out the photos. read more

Absolutely amazing experience. We ordered the hamachi edamame, grilled shishito peppers, three temaki rolls including the P38 the spicy crunchy salmon and a toro roll with chimichurri sauce (I forgot the name), salmon sashimi, hamachi sashimi, and the wagyu dumplings. Everything we had was outstanding. Our favorite roll was the toro temaki with the chimichurri sauce!!! it was truly AMAZING. I'm still dreaming about that roll. The food, service, and ambiance were all fantastic. Honestly, I even liked this restaurant more than Uchi, which we've been multiple times. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience. read more

Second visit for dinner, we made reservation. It wasn't as crowded for a Tuesday night and we came in during happy hour so we tried some new things. Crispy tuna rice (9/10): MUST have for appetiser, love it. The jalapeño on top gives it an extra kick and texture, which not every restaurant has it on their crispy rice. Nice. Beef dumplings (7/10): Very flavourful, crisp on the outside and juicy fillings. But a bit on the saltier side because of the soy sauce. Spicy Popcorn Shrimp (7/10): Yummy but not my favourite, it's not anything unique but quite up to standard. The breading is thin yet crispy, just the flavour is quite straight forward, siracha mayo DNA. Chicken Karage (8.5/10): Very tender fresh and juicy, but just like the Spicy Popcorn Shrimp, it's nothing special. Unless you're a fan of this dish then it's good to order. Seaweed Salad (8.5/10): Quite refreshing, good. Seasoned the right way, great pairing. The nigiri(s) are all very good, all 9/10. My favourites are the Ikura, Scallop, Sake, Toro, Yellowtail. It's my second visit to Uchiko and not a dish here disappoints, definitely recommend. Service is also great, attentive not annoying, professional and understands menu well. Sake selection is decent and fun. read more

Went back for omakase HH before Swan Lake ballet nearby at the Filmore theater. The food was very good, this has become a regular for the family. I forgot a picture of the welcome shot to cleanse the palette and mushroom stone pot. The service was good but tends to a bit inattentive yet again as perhaps it's busier because of HH? read more

We had a reservation at the sushi bar on the Friday night the restaurant was very lively! It is a beautiful space and the sushi bar is great for a date night. Our sushi chef Esteban was very kind and gave us multiple free dishes, so highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar to try more. Our favorites were the dumplings the hamachi crudo, incredibly fresh! Would love to come back and try the happy hour tasting menu. read more

Uchiko Miami Beach - Japanese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

WOW! Simply next level sushi experience! From start to finish, the service was excellent! Our server, Hays, couldn't have been more attentive, made better suggestions, and all in all, I think she enjoyed seeing our joy as we went from dish to dish throughout the night. And let me add, the restaurant was slammed! It's was boat show & Valentine's! We were a party of 5 and arrived when it opened. Surprised to find they have a happy hour menu! The selection on the HH menu is amazing and the prices even better! I think we may have ordered 2 of everything! The edamame was really good (the best actually), the shashito peppers were hands down perfect! We eat sushi several times a week, and in every city we visit! We know sushi! Uchiko offers several dishes that we have never had and our favorite (hands down) was the unique bowl of rice & mushrooms with an egg on top! WOW! Drinks were all on point! And Hays kept them coming! Let our pics give you an idea of our dishes. Nothing disappointed! The restaurant is very pretty. They have a few private rooms which are perfect for a celebration with friends! The ambiance was wonderful. The restaurant was packed yet it wasn't loud. And their level of service was amazing. We will be back! You got super fans in Pinecrest, it was well worth the drive! read more

Amazing date night at Uchiko in Miami Beach, sister to uchi and this beautiful spot has been open since March 2025. I came in on a Friday evening at 6 to try their happy hour tasting menu and wow, what a wonderful time. Our server Wesley was superb, always checking in on us and giving us his recommendations as well. Everything we received on the tasting menu was delicious, from the classic hama chili to the filling Denver steak. Aside from the tasting menu, I ordered a cocktail - tsurai and my boyfriend tried their beer. We also enjoyed the hearth grilled oysters, also delicious. I left feeling very satisfied by the end of the menu and looking forward to returning for my next special occasion. Well done. read more

Uchiko has very quickly become one of my favorite spots in Miami. Their sister restaurant is in Wynwood, and this spot is located in the Sunset Harbour area of Miami Beach. I've gone to their happy hour a couple of times and have stayed well past it because of how great the drinks, bites, and staff are. Staff are truly very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. The decor is amazing! There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating, as well as seats at the bar and the sushi bar. I've tried all their seating except the outside since it's gotten a bit hot lately. I love their vinho verde and prosecco. Some favorite bites are the broccoli yaki - delicious broccoli with a spicy kick, the inari makimono roll - which is tofu roll, I absolutely love the avocado nigiri, and nasu nigiri. Their Japanese potato that comes with crème fraîche is also top notch along with their Hama chili. The food is so fresh, flavorful, and well balanced. Portions can be on the smaller size but worth it for all the flavors. The amazing food doesn't stop there - their desserts are also so good. The milk and cereal was a favorite, so much flavor and decadence. The tropical tart was also good, and very refreshing. Definitely cannot wait to return to Uchiko! read more

Great experience Miami! I've been to uchiko in Dallas if that's what the name of the restaurant hosted by Uchi as well... either way I noticed this Miami location is huge, you can fit larger parties inside or outside and the ambiance is intimate and private enough that you can be left alone if you worry about high traffic places, this one would accommodate well. The food was tasting fresh, every single bit was good. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and were gifted a plate to try and I'm pretty sure it's like Crudo- just didn't see it on the menu so I loved that experience- it felt special and we loved the dish so thank you! Didn't get pictures of everything, overall great experience , I want to try their happy hours and other menus because they are very creative with their dishes! read more

Celebrated my daughter's birthday here and we had a lovely experience start to finish. Everyone wished my kiddo a happy birthday which made her night extra special. We came just in time for happy hour- and ordered avocado nigiri which had this delicious little dot of limey spice garnish on top, the sake nigiri (salmon), Wagyu tartare which came with two pieces of delicious chopped Wagyu with some zest, Toro temaki (yum ! Tuna hand roll), the char sui skewer (crispy juicy fatty salty pork belly- some of the best any of us have ever had and one of our favorite bites of the evening, served over a tangy and vibrant - well balanced acidic cucumber salad), and crispy pork which was served over crunchy chips but we actually didn't love because of the chili sauce which had a fermented type flavor that didn't sit well. Everything else was top notch. The hot stone Wagyu dish was fun but the meat needed more salt, our stone seemed to cool down too quickly and if you don't cook it long enough it's sort of chewy. The best part was dessert- we got the milk and cookies which has fried milk balls (so tasty that alone is worth getting on an airplane for to come to Miami), and a s'mores dessert which wasn't as great (in my opinion) but my daughter still liked it. Overall a stellar meal , beautiful restaurant interior and lovely friendly service. read more

Awesome 9 course omakase deal they have daily starting at 5 pm for $60 per person. They also have drink specials going on at the same time and a happy hour menu. Excellent service, beautiful restaurant, and the flavors of each bite were wonderful. Star of the night for me was the Hama Chili served cool with yellowtail, ponzu, and orange. The sweet and savory mix I always crave, with the bonus of being light and refreshing. It was the perfect way to start off the food journey we went though that night and fully enjoyed! Highly reccomend! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, the servers treated us like family--warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The hospitality was on another level and made the entire night feel special. The best part was that they had sent us a $65 gift card in the mail, and the team couldn't have been more welcoming about it. They were super easygoing, excited that we used it, and made us feel appreciated rather than rushed or awkward--something you don't see often. The food was outstanding, the service was flawless, and the vibe was perfect. It's amazing to have a place like Uchi Miami Beach read more

Beautiful modern restaurant in a great location in south beach. Went for the happy hour tasting with 5 people, easily accommodated by purchasing extra nigiri and hand rolls. It took about 15 minutes to get any attention from staff- frustrating to watch 5 people with their backs turned towards you without water on the table. The flow of the meals was going well until it took 45 minutes to get the dessert to which they gave us the bill before it got out. Management was very nice and apologized for the experience as it is not how they like things to be remembered. Overall everything was only okay. Nothing outstanding or worth raving about. read more

Liked even better than sister restaurant Uchi! Came here for an early birthday celebration with family and our waiter (I think his name is Jordan - he looks like bad bunny) made the experience very special. They also accomodated all my food restrictions (no shellfish or meat, fish only with fins and scales) It was interesting that the waiter encouraged us to eat the nigri with our hands and upside down (with the protein side touching the tongue). I found that that was superior to eating the nigri traditionally with chop sticks, as the primary flavor in their method is from the protein! I got a lot of little dishes, but got to try a lot from my family who got the Miami spice menu- which had so much food compared to other Miami spice places weve visited! Here's what I tried with commentary: Bluefin zuke nigri - delicious! Caesar from the Miami spice menú- very bland, would not recommend Japanese eggplant nigri - so flavorful! king trumpet mushroom nigri - not as special, tasted a bit meaty and very buttery broccolini- fried egg emulsion, kombu, yucca crunch - very flavorful and definitely not a basic veggie side! kurodai crudo sashimi - amazing! ceviche hand roll- white fish ceviche, cucumber, sweet and spicy ponzu - so unique! Came with crispy onions inside that were so yummy tsurai cocktail- astral blanco tequila, passionfruit, aperol, Thai chili (4th picture)- really refreshing! mushroom don- tensuyu, mushroom conserva, cabbage and egg - like an elevated fried rice blueberry ube tart- Marcona almond crust, blueberry curd, marcona praline, ube cream - totally was not expecting a blueberry tart to be like this! Explosion of flavor and so fresh. s'mores dessert -toasted barley, black sesame, toasted marshmallow with ice cream and brown butter crumble on the side - loved the ice cream and brown butter crumble, was less impressed with the Smores dessert part. Liked the blueberry ube tart better! read more

Uchiko which is part of the well known sushi restaurant Uchi in Wynwood, has a beautiful ambiance, it really surprised me. However, while the restaurant is spacious, I think the 2-persons tables are set up to closed to each other, specially the ones on the middle where you get sandwiched in between and it could be overwhelming if you get talkative ones on each side. As for the food, I overall enjoyed what I had, ones more than others, but everything was at least 3.5 stars. My favorite was the hama chili, I would come back for that dish. The citrus notes were the icing on the cake, so delicate and delicious dish. Well done. What I really didn't like was the shima aji crudo. This dish is mostly infused ice with 3 tiny pieces of fish at a $26 price tag. I wouldn't recommend it and certainly didn't enjoy it. The makis (rolls) were alright, just alright. I'm certainly coming back but for the sashimi's along. I think that's their forte and the flavors they deliver are outstanding. Service was fast and attentive. read more

I've been to Uchiko three times now and really enjoy their happy hour, some items are half off, which is a great deal. I first visited during the grand opening and it was packed. Service has been hit or miss: one visit they forgot a dish and accidentally double-charged my check, which I didn't catch until later. That said, the food here is excellent. Every dish I've tried has been amazing, the sushi is fresh and flavorful, and the milk cereal dessert is a must. Uchiko is the sister restaurant to Uchi, and it lives up to the name. You can valet or find street parking nearby. I'll definitely keep coming back, but I hope the service sharpens up a bit to match the quality of the food. read more

The food here is delicious, once it eventually reaches your table. Our server was nice, not the most attentive, but the place was busy. Not our fault? They charge quite a bit of money for the service they offer. We really wanted to do the omakase but were turned off after seeing how long it took to get our first drink and appetizer. We ended up ordering a few small dishes and drinks, all delicious but expensive/slow, and then we left. Spent $250. We waited 45 for our table to be ready, their bar was jam packed, so while waiting we went down the block to the bar at Pubbelly Sushi. After our mediocre beginnings at Uchiko we couldn't help but discuss how empty Pubbelly was and that their food we saw looked good. Ended up finishing our dinner at Pubbelly, which was fraction of the cost and tasted just as good if not better on a few things. Anyway, Uchiko was so-so due to the cost and slow service. The restaurant vibe itself is lovely and a great place to visit. I wouldn't return unless it was free read more

The food was so delicious and the fish tasted so fresh. Our table of 3 went during happy hour and we all definitely recommend. The happy hour prices are definitely worth it. The service was excellent and the food came super quickly and as soon as we finished a dish we got served our next dish. The crunchy salmon roll and milk and cereal dessert were super unique and also delicious. read more

Great experience from start to finish. Very sexy atmosphere, awesome service, and amazing food. I sat at the sushi bar on a Thursday night. Pat behind the sushi bar was informative and attentive. He also curated some of the best fish I've ever had. He was knowledgeable about each type of fish and its respective family; and designed the portions around each type of fish. Bianka did a phenomenal job and went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was unique. Thank you for everything. I'll definitely be back when I'm in South Beach in a few months! read more

Yes it was amazing! Deserves 5 stars. Just been open about 2 weeks and the place was running like it's been on Purdy Avenue, South Beach forever. The Sunset Harbour neighborhood has been waiting with anticipation for this little sister restaurant of Uchi from Wynwood. Even so, I made the mistake of trying to walk in. It was booked from day 1. No walk-ins. I realized I had to treat this South Beach addition like it was in SoHo Manhattan. It's living up to another standard. Book in advance. Even for happy hour. We went for Happy Hour. I know it's an amazing regular restaurant with awards and pedigree. But here's a trick. Get in for the happy hour. You get the start of your night while the beautiful sunsets stream through the glass westerly facade, that makes it special. Then carry on after 6:30 to the full menu. There's nothing I can think of as a suggestion for improvement. All the drinks were great. The G&T was impressive. Try it. Unlike any others. The cheesecake dessert with granita was remarkable and a must try. Even if you have a Sweat 440 class in the morning at 7:30. Do it. If that wasn't enough. Currently it's the best people watching hot spot on the beach for locals. Get there before it's popular among the crowds. It's going to happen. This is going to succeed. read more

Wow wow wow! This place is absolutely phenomenal! Aside from the fact that it's gorgeous and brand new, the service was top notch and impeccable. If you're seated at the sushi bar, you'll notice that you have two servers. One for drinks, and you order your food directly with the sushi chef. They don't advertise this, but you can easily give the chef a number as in a budget in mind, and tell him your likes and dislikes, and they will bring out plates, sort of omakase style to take you on a journey with their dishes. I didn't do this, but ordered directly from the menu, a bunch of different things, and both sushi chefs were speaking to me with such knowledge of the menu and of the various different styles and tastes. I happened to go during happy hour time, where the dishes were incredibly inexpensive, some full size dishes were $12, which is an amazing deal for an otherwise expensive restaurant. The chili himachi that's on the appetizer menu as well as the happy hour menu was so refreshing paired with the oranges, and the portion for the happy hour price was amazing. The stand out to me was the Hamachi collar, which came a type of chimichurri and a beurre blank type sauce. This was incredible. The toro tartar with The blueberries was sweet and melted in your mouth. ordered both types of oysters, the grilled oyster, and the raw oyster. The grilled oyster stood out to me and was amazing. I would absolutely order this again. Obviously the Uni was delicious, and refreshing. The steak tartar gunkan had shaved egg on it and was unique and tasty. read more
