Why did no one tell me that I'm Amazonico had one of the prettiest rooftops in all of Miami? What makes this place stand out of course which we all knew is how beautiful and immersive it is. It almost feels like you're actually in some Amazon rainforest but wait now we're at the rooftop trying out some of their amazing bites. At first I thought it was a very limited menu because they only have a few items, it ends up being a very solid menu. Every single thing that we ate was amazing. There's no exaggeration everything that they made was pretty but at the same time it tasted delicious some of our standouts were definitely the Toro truffle Maki, which you can only find on the rooftop and it's honestly a reason alone to come to the rooftop along with the rollito Samosa, which was packed with chicken and of course they had to have their own Wagyu Sando rendition next time you and the girls are looking for the next date night or the next night out or the next sexy place to hang out in check out, the rooftop This is currently one of Miami's top restaurants that no one can stop talking about, but why is it that I never heard that it has such a gorgeous rooftop think the theme here is Peacock and while at first their menu seemed a little small after trying all of the menu, I realized that everything they made was delicious. Some of our standouts were the truffle Toro monkey, which you can only find at the rooftop and it's reason alone to visit they of course have their own Sando and Samosa this place is a kind of spot where you stay the night and get lost and kind of wonder where you are. It's gorgeous. read more

I took my mom to Yamashiro for Mother's Day and honestly... the experience was giving "luxury sushi day with a side quest" First of all, the decor? BEAUTIFUL. The whole area leading up to the restaurant feels like a movie set. My mom is a full fashionista, so naturally we spent 37 business days taking pictures before even sitting down. Every corner is basically begging to be posted on Instagram. If you like a good photo moment, this place delivers. The ambience during the day was such a vibe too. Classy, upbeat, rooftop energy without trying too hard. It felt like a sophisticated little daytime party. Now let's address the tiny ants in the room. Unfortunately, because it's an indoor/outdoor rooftop-style establishment, there was a pretty noticeable ant situation at our original table. My mom actually got bitten on the leg by one little ant who clearly thought he had Mother's Day reservations too. BUT... this is where the staff absolutely shined. The daytime manager was AMAZING. So accommodating, sweet, attentive, and genuinely concerned about making sure my mom was okay. They moved us immediately, checked on us multiple times, gave us a few things on the house, and truly handled the situation with grace and professionalism. Honestly, customer service like that can completely change an experience, and they did exactly that. As for the food... we made it a full sushi roll day. The Wagyu roll? ABSOLUTELY incredible. Rich, flavorful, and worth fighting over. The yellowtail roll was actually the star of the day though. So fresh, flavorful, perfectly balanced... we kept talking about it after. The crab roll was okay. A little on the dry side compared to the others, but not terrible. They also surprised us with complimentary dessert and a round of drinks because of the little ant incident, which we really appreciated. Price-wise? I don't know if every single roll matched the price tag perfectly... but honestly, the overall experience balanced everything out. Great service, beautiful atmosphere, amazing music, good food, gorgeous decor, and my mom had such a wonderful Mother's Day. Would definitely come back again... hopefully with slightly fewer ants and slightly fewer pictures on my camera roll. read more

Came here for dinner and overall really enjoyed it. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the view outside is really nice, and the service was great the entire night. The Sando sandwiches were my favorite thing we ordered... super buttery, perfectly toasted, and sooo good. We also had the 3 Kings meat platter and honestly the only meat I really loved was the one with the bone marrow. If you like rich, fatty flavors, that one is ittt. The cucumber salad was delicious and the spicy crispy tuna roll actually had really good flavor but the rice tasted stale and old to the point where it was hard to chew. I wish it had been fresher because I would've enjoyed it way more. The gyozas didn't really impress me and the wild mushroom pot was good but nothing super memorable. Overall this is pretty spot for dinner with some really good dishes and I see myself coming back for those sandos! read more

Okay, come for the drinks and the atmosphere -- skip the food. The restaurant itself is stunning, with a rooftop overlooking downtown that truly feels like an oasis in the middle of the city. Definitely one of the prettiest spots for a night out in Miami. The menu, though, was nothing particularly special. We ordered a ton of food and somehow still left pretty hungry, which says a lot. The Australian wagyu was definitely the highlight and was actually really good. The sushi was fine, but nothing memorable. I personally didn't enjoy the wagyu burgers, although the rest of my party liked them more than I did. The trio tower was okay too, but I didn't think the fish tasted especially fresh. Overall, I'd absolutely come back for drinks, the views, and the vibe -- just probably not for a full dinner. read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! The ambiance is stunning and really sets the tone for a special night out. The mini performances between meals was such a unique touch and made the whole evening feel like an event, not just dinner. It's located on the 9th floor of the Gale Hotel..and The food was incredible. The steak was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My favorite was the Tomahawk. And the sushi rolls were fresh and beautifully presented, and the dumplings with chili oil were one of my favorite bites of the night. The grilled corn and shishito peppers were also great sides. I ordered a bunch. Service was attentive and the presentation of every dish felt thoughtful and elevated. Between the atmosphere, the entertainment, and the quality of the food, this place definitely stands out in Miami. Highly recommend for a fun night out, date night, or when you want dinner to feel like an experience. Can't wait to come back! I hear the happy hour is spot on too! read more

What a scam. First and foremost this place is super overrated and very overpriced for what it is. You can't just put waygu on everything, have subpar sushi and creamy sake to claim you're a Japanese restaurant. I have had better sushi and steak at less expensive places. If it was the best food and drinks I've ever had then I would pay the 1k bill without a complain but that was not the case. The only thing this place has going for it was the music honestly. And their speak easy, what a way to get u drunk and charge you other peoples drinks without you knowing. Like why does the bartender have to take my credit card and put it somewhere that isn't the bar. Very sketchy, the only thing the speak easy had going for it was the music also. I would not recommend this place. There are better restaurants in Miami. If you are an influencer and want to take pictures maybe I would say come here but even so not that maybe photo opportunity spots. I will say, for it to be outside you don't feel like you're outside and don't feel the Miami humidity which is nice. This place just reminds me of the fake Miami scenes you see on the tv. Truly disappointing, it was my birthday they didn't even sing me happy birthday and charged me $11 for an ice creams scope with a candle on it that was horrible, nobody liked it. Not worth it! read more

There is so much to compliment and enjoy. I started with a great martini at the entrance bar and onions rings that were delicious. We then tried the oysters and the tuna tartare they were excellent, followed by the Denver waygu steak and the lamb chops. All top notch. We did try the rice and it was ok. Overall a great experience. The service was also ok. We had to get our server a few times. The ambience is wonderful with a great lightning, DJ was on point and we had a very lovely time. read more

From the moment the door opened to the rooftop, you could tell it was going to be a great night. The ambiance and views were incredible, and the staff made the experience even better. Juan was an excellent waiter, he guided us through the menu so we could order in a way that truly captured the full experience and enjoy our evening. You can't go wrong with visiting this restaurant. The entire team was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious! The cherry on top was Alejandro taking time to take a polaroid picture of us before leaving. It was very kind of him to make sure he got a shot of us. Side note: Reserve your table through OpenTable. read more

I recently tried Yamashiro and overall I'm glad I tried it out. But I probably won't be rushing back anytime soon. The atmosphere is beautiful -- mostly outdoor, rooftop vibes that feel elevated and romantic. The cocktails were unique and delicious, and I'd definitely return to sit at the bar for drinks alone. Service was 10/10. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and our server went above and beyond, walking us through the entire menu to help us decide. The only downside was the seating -- tables felt slightly too tight, and servers had to squeeze through at times. Food highlights and notes: * Spicy Truffle Edamame: Had some type of seasoning but did not taste any spice and truffle flavor. * Krispy Kale: Delicious (slightly too salty), but I'd order it again. * Cauliflower: Good presentation with table-side chopping, but flavor was just okay. * Wagyu Surf & Turf Roll: The wagyu on top overpowered the roll. Smaller pieces inside with lobster on top and a creamy sriracha on the side would've balanced it better. * Denver Steak: Good portion and tasty meat, but the mustard sauce had almost no flavor -- I ended up using just salt and wasabi. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks and ambiance, but with so many great restaurants in Miami, I'm not rushing back for the food. read more

20/10 !! absolutely obsessed. Yamashiro in downtown is such a vibe. The rooftop alone is reason enough to go ..sweeping skyline views, open air, and that perfect nightfall glow that instantly sets the mood. From the second you walk in, you're welcomed by a lounge style entrance that feels upscale, moody, and effortlessly cool... plus a must snap photo op mural. The design is where this place truly shines. Garden inspired touches like bonsai accents, koi-style water features, and a temple like central bar. It's elegant but still fun ..stylish, yet relaxed. This definitely isn't a quiet, low-key sushi spot, but the prices are comparable to Sushi Sake... except the vibes and sushi are about 10 times better. The crowd is clearly there for both the food and the experience, and they even have live entertainment during dinner at certain times, which takes the energy to another level. We started with cocktails and both were delicious. I had the Downtown Abbey (vodka, guava, golden lavender cordial, yuzu, and prosecco) it was light and refreshing, and not too sweet. My boyfriend ordered the Fortune Teller (Japanese whiskey, honey, yuzu, sweet chili, and blue spirulina), which was smooth with just the right touch of sweetness and spice. Now onto the food .... Yamashiro's menu is Japanese fusion done right, balancing comfort, luxury, and creativity. You'll find everything from Japanese fried chicken and katsu sando to lobster in miso beurre blanc, black garlic Chilean sea bass, Alaskan king crab, wagyu tomahawk, and a full sushi and handroll menu. If you're looking to stay low key and just go with some sushi or if you're looking to go a little more upscale, they absolutely deliver with premium wagyu, high-quality seafood, and chef-driven plates. For appetizers, the katsu sando completely stole the show ...fluffy Japanese milk bread, prime tenderloin, and tonkatsu aioli... rich, crispy, and unforgettable. Easily our favorite bite of the night. The octopus was just as impressive, perfectly tender with a beautiful char. We also tried a few sushi rolls, and every single one hit: *Truffle Yellowtail Roll : hamachi, chive, yuzu truffle vinaigrette, and chardonnay amazu gel for a bright, elevated flavor profile. * Yamashiro Roll (my personal favorite); tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado, pickled serrano, crispy onions, spicy mayo, and eel sauce * Wagyu Surf & Turf Roll: lobster tempura topped with seared A5 wagyu, truffle salt, and onion jam... indulgent in the best way. Overall, the food matched the atmosphere...elevated, flavorful, and perfect for sharing, lingering, and turning dinner into a full night out. Perfect for date night, birthdays, or kicking off an evening downtown with unreal views and even better vibes. read more

We had SUPER high expectations for this restaurant. But unfortunately the food did not really meet the expectations. The vibe is fantastic, it's a very MILA Miami Beach vibe with the water pathway in the middle, the loud house music, and the dim lights. You're kind of thrown into a party. We sat at the bar, we weren't able to make a reservation online since there were none available. We ended up dining at the bar. We ordered a spicy tuna crispy rice, wagyu sando, dumplings x2 (chicken and beef), and then a tuna handroll. I'd say everything was average. The sando was very expensive and in my opinion wasn't really worth it. The dumplings and crispy rice were also very average. Vibes and service, great! I'm not sure I'll be back to try anything else. But I'd say if you want vibes and loud music and a party scene, this is the place to be. read more

What a magical, amazing experience we had on Christmas eve! It started at the bar with the best bartenders serving us espresso martinis and a view of the skyline. We then sat in the open-air seating, the restaurant is stunning! We enjoyed delicious tuna crispy rice and the star of the show was the little sandos with gold flecks-- beautiful and delicious. We had some edamame which added some texture to the meal. We ordered various sushi rolls and a sushi platter. All of the fish tasted fresh and was a plump texture. We met the owner, Steve who is a great guy. Later in the night, we ordered the martini service tableside-- it got the party starting. The martinis were dirty and delicious. They have soft entertainment later in the night, music starts and women dressed in a kimono came to each table. Such a great evening here! read more

1st time at this restaurant, our girl friend wanted to celebrate her bday there. It's one of the hottest restaurants now in the MIA. Food was good, my favorite was the Katsu Sando even though the meat was a little hard, the rest of the plates were ok nothing out of this world...service was really good by Lui , he was really nice and friendly, ambience like every trending restaurant in Miami, loud music and lots of people wearing massive amounts of Arabic perfumes...the restaurant was ok and I think the rooftop made a bit more cool but I don't think we will go back...it's the kind of place that is worth trying. read more

Yamashiro was a whole experience, beautiful vibes and even better food. The truffle edamame and cucumber tataki were the perfect starters, light but flavorful. The katsu sando and rock shrimp tempura were standouts, crispy, juicy, and done right. The black cod and wagyu striploin were rich, tender, and full of flavor, while the miso butter corn and wild mushroom added that perfect savory touch. Ended with the miso lava cake, and it was the perfect sweet finish. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

Meh- really wanted to love this place but so many hurdles to overcome for an enjoyable experience. 1. This is inside a busy hotel. There is little to no signage an the lobby can be disastrous 2. BEAUTIFUL rooftop, but limited space makes reservations hard to come by and LONG wait times 3. They have a particularly high end dress code for being in a hotel.... I have been twice and both times had members of my party (male and female) asked to change. All in all the affordable food is pretty good, but nothing spectacular. I likely won't be returning. read more

The architecture and interior design is phenomenal. The drinks are immaculate, the food was delicious. The service very attentive (thanks Britney!) - and they deserve a raise.

I sat at the bar for dinner, which was really nice. It filled up pretty quickly. The cocktails we ordered were all really good, super well-made and different from the usual stuff which was nice. If you want a table though, you definitely need a reservation because the dining room was packed. The vibe overall was really nice and felt elevated without trying too hard. The dining room is honestly so pretty, and the view of downtown is so nice. It's a great rooftop spot whether you're going for dinner or just drinks. We ordered the ceviche, spicy tuna crispy rice, wagyu gyoza, Yamashiro roll, truffle yellowtail roll, and spicy crab roll. My favorites were the wagyu gyoza and the truffle yellowtail roll, but everything was genuinely good, it was actually hard to pick a top two. Overall, amazing vibe, great drinks, really good food.

Yamashiro Miami is one of those places where you walk in and immediately think, "Okay... this is a vibe." The ambiance is beautiful, the space is stunning, and honestly you could probably come here just to look around and sip a drink and still have a great time. The outside bar area was my favorite part. If it's just two of you, you honestly don't even need to bother with a table -- grab a spot at the bar, order some cocktails, and enjoy the scene. The cocktails were great, the oysters were delicious, and the service was excellent. The staff was attentive without hovering, which is the sweet spot. Food-wise, there were some hits and some "meh." The katsu steak sandwich is an absolute must -- easily the star of the night and something I would 100% go back for. The sushi quality was good, fresh and solid. The pork and kimchi gyoza was okay... not bad, but not something I'd dream about later. Same with the wagyu skewer -- it was good, just not the "oh my god, call my friends immediately" moment I was hoping for. Overall, this place is definitely more of a vibe-and-drinks destination, but that's not a bad thing at all. Beautiful setting, great cocktails, good sushi, and that katsu sandwich alone makes it worth coming back. read more

Beautiful Place, Zero Hospitality, Total Disrespect! A Stunning Location Ruined by Aggressive and Untrained Staff We drove many miles genuinely excited to experience this restaurant, and what we encountered was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had in Miami. The disappointment started from minute one. We arrived around 8:45 pm with a smile, looking forward to the evening. The experience began in a disorganized hotel lobby at The Gale, and only went downhill from there. When we reached the restaurant, we were met by three staff members at the front desk who were openly rude: no greeting, no "good evening," no "how can I help you." Just cold faces and an immediate, dismissive statement: "No reservation, no table until 10 pm." The tone was icy and unwelcoming. We were told to maybe try the bar and that they would "try" to call us at 10 pm. Meanwhile, we clearly saw many empty tables. Out of curiosity, we checked OpenTable at 9:00 pm and saw multiple available reservations starting at 9:15 pm every 15 minutes. We booked one. Shortly after, a man dressed in white (possibly a manager) approached us with a very aggressive attitude, raising his voice and questioning why we had a reservation and when we made it. This was shocking. If reservations are available on OpenTable, that is not the guest's fault. This situation clearly showed a complete lack of coordination and competence between the front desk staff and the reservation system. The same man returned, still hostile, and practically threatened to cancel our reservation. My husband had to ask him to lower his voice and stop being aggressive. Moments later, we noticed our 9:15 pm reservation had been changed in the system to 10:00 pm without our consent. Unacceptable. Eventually, we were "given" a table, but it was one of the worst tables possible: directly in front of the bathroom and kitchen traffic, exposed to a freezing 59°F temperature with strong wind and no heating. We had to ask for the heater, which took over 10 minutes to be turned on, and even then it was positioned so poorly that we received no warmth. We were left there, cold, unattended, while still seeing empty tables around us. A server brought blankets and then disappeared. We waited over 15 minutes without anyone coming back to take an order. At that point, we decided to leave. Why would anyone spend money in a place where you are mistreated from the moment you arrive? That is a lack of self-respect as a guest. Miami has countless dining options, and we will not waste our money at a beautiful location that completely lacks basic hospitality, professionalism, and staff training. It is truly a shame to see owners invest millions in stunning locations, design, and food, only to place poorly trained, rude, and unprepared people in customer-facing roles. The staff is the face of your business. Without proper service, the beauty of the place means nothing. At this point, robots would honestly do a better job than staff with no education, empathy, or basic customer service skills. Stop apologizing and start taking action. A beautiful restaurant with mediocre service has no future in a city like Miami, where mediocrity is paid for very dearly. We will never step foot in this restaurant again read more

The service here is truly outstanding, and the vibe is exactly what we were hoping for. From the décor to the Geisha to the DJ, everything feels thoughtfully curated and lovely. The city view, however, is a bit misleading--this isn't a rooftop, just an open-air restaurant--so that was somewhat disappointing. Still, given how beautiful the space is overall, it didn't detract too much from the experience. The corn was surprisingly good. It wasn't my choice, but I ended up really enjoying it. The Yamashiro roll was solid, though not quite as memorable as I'd hoped. The shrimp tempura roll, on the other hand, was very mediocre. I didn't quite understand it: a standard maki topped with a puffed, fried shrimp bite on each piece. Nontraditional is fine, but where was the shrimp? It mostly tasted like fried batter. The chef's choice combo platter ($60) was excellent and absolutely worth it for me. The $25 wagyu dumplings were not--they were fine, but nothing special. Both the scallop nigiri and salmon nigiri were good. The ginger and wasabi were fresh and well done. Cocktails were just okay and on the pricey side. Overall, I've had better sushi for less money, but the atmosphere and experience made it worth it. read more

We had a 9:00 PM reservation but unfortunately the table wasn't ready when we arrived. We were told to wait at the bar, which would've been fine, but it was so crowded that there wasn't much space to stand, and we even had to wait a while just to order drinks. We didn't get seated until about 9:40 PM, which was definitely frustrating. That said, once we finally sat down, the food was excellent. It was a very busy night so we didn't see much of our server, but we could tell they were doing their best. For appetizers, the truffle edamame had great flavor, first time trying truffle on edamame and I really liked it. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was amazing, super crispy rice and really fresh tuna. The Duroc Pork & Kimchee gyoza might honestly be the best gyoza I've ever had, perfect texture and the sauce was delicious. The Iberico Pork rice pot was also great, and the pork was incredibly flavorful. The oyster mushrooms were another standout dish, with an amazing sauce and crispy leeks that added so much texture. The Yuzu-saikyo miso black cod was delicious too, pouring the sauce over the top really brings it together. From the meat menu, we tried the Three Kings platter, which included bavette, Denver, and tenderloin cuts with bone marrow and brown butter miso, highly recommend. For maki rolls, the Wagyu Surf & Turf Roll was our favorite, the pairing of meat with lobster was excellent. The Rock Shrimp Tempura Roll was also great. The atmosphere is beautiful , it's a really nice rooftop setting on the 9th floor of The Gale, but the space does feel a bit tight, especially when it's packed. Service was friendly but clearly rushed due to how busy it was. Overall, the food was truly fantastic and I would definitely go back but preferably on a night that's a little less crowded so the experience can match the quality of the dishes. read more

Yamashiro in downtown Miami had a really good vibe. Just make reservations in advance. It's inside a hotel on the 9th floor, so you'll either valet ($22) or get dropped off by Uber/Lyft out front. The restaurant is great for private date night, a double date, or even a night out with friends. The staff were on point, Britney took care of us (party of 4) and she was amazing. It was extremely clean, from the tables to the seats to the bathrooms. Definitely an upscale spot. They had a live DJ who knew how to keep the vibe flowing nicely for a Friday night. The only downside for me were the drinks. Their specialty cocktails are premade and they could not make any adjustments. For example, I couldn't switch the brand of vodka or request light syrup, which was disappointing. So I went with a simple vodka soda and a splash of juice. It was fine, but nothing memorable. I really wish they allowed liquor or light ingredient swaps for their specialty drinks. Food-wise, though, everything was great: - Garden Salad = 5 stars! (Very fresh and the dressing was delicious). - Gyoza Wagyu = 5 stars! (perfectly pan-seared, tomato-based, very flavorful) - Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice = 4 stars. (The rice had a nice crunch and the tuna was good, but nothing to set it apart from other tuna on crispy rice dishes I have had.) - Rock Shrimp Tempura = 5 stars! (The tempura was crunchy and shrimp was nicely seasoned) - Wagyu Skewers = 4 stars. (Pieces of meat on a stick, the seasoning was good, the meat was cooked medium and not dry at all.) - Saikyo Miso Salmon = 5 stars! (Wow! perfectly cooked, very soft, and the skin was crispy.) Cauliflower = 4 Stars. (It was a good vegetable side nothing crazy in terms of flavor, the green goddess sauce was good but nothing incredible.) - Miso Butter Corn = 4 Stars. (I did not try this one but my husband, and our sister/brother in law said that it had good flavor but awkward to eat because of the ribbed cut. I'd prefer to see brussels sprouts on the menu instead.) - Crispy Kale & Shiso = 5 Stars! (I also did not try this vegetable side but my sister in law and brother in law enjoyed the kale side.) - Yamashiro Roll = 5 stars! (My husband loved this roll and would get it again. I did not get a photo.) Yamashiro was definitely pricey for four people who ordered two drinks each, but that's expected in Miami. Not a place we'd go all the time, but we're glad we experienced it. Giving it a 4.3 star rating Wishing Yamashiro Miami continued success! read more

I made a reservation at Yamashiro and noted that it was a special night since my girlfriend was leaving to Thailand the next day for three weeks. I asked for a nice table, but we were seated at the very end of the restaurant facing a wall, which was disappointing given the occasion. Service felt slow and a bit inattentive -- we initially weren't provided proper napkins, cutlery, or chopsticks, and our table was loose. The restaurant was also very loud, making it hard to enjoy a conversation. Food was mixed. The truffle edamame tasted like it may have been microwaved, and the baked roll was just average. The steak sandwich came out extremely raw and had to be sent back, and even then lacked flavor. The cucumber salad was actually very good with a nice bit of spice, and the bluefin tuna nigiri was solid. Dessert was the highlight -- the lava cake was great, although the guava cheesecake lacked much guava flavor. I also ordered a second beer four times and it didn't arrive until dessert, at which point I didn't want it anymore. Pricing was fair for the amount of food, and since we live nearby in Miami Worldcenter we were hoping this could become a regular spot -- but this visit left us pretty disappointed. read more
