Food, service and vibe was amazing. On our last evening in Miami we decided to make reservations and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we spoke with the ladies up front to the time we got up to leave, everything and everyone was perfect. read more

Went for Valentine's Day dinner reservation this past weekend. I don't typically go out of my way to complain, but given the price point and expectations for the evening, I felt it was important to share my experience. Outside of the ambiance everything was pretty terrible. Food and drinks included. We chose to dine there because of what we had seen on social media and were genuinely looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the meal did not meet expectations. The first course consisted of edamame and lightly dressed sliced cucumbers, which felt underwhelming for a special Valentine's menu. The second course was just okay I've honestly had better quality sushi delivered from other local restaurants. There was also a salty rice and mushroom concoction no idea what that was about but not good. For the main course, the steak was cooked properly but was extremely salty, and while the lobster itself was fine, it arrived cold and heavily covered in sauce in a way that didn't quite make sense. The dessert was unfortunately inedible. The service itself was good, but the progression of the courses and overall execution did not justify the cost. We paid $350 to secure the reservation and then an additional $155 for just two drinks (including tax and tip). I truly just couldn't justify the total spend relative to the overall quality of the meal. At the end of the evening, we were presented with a bill reflecting the full menu amount, which created an uncomfortable moment as we had already prepaid for the Valentine's prix-fixe reservation online. While I understand how busy evenings like that can be, it was awkward to have to clarify that the menu portion had already been paid. I understand that holiday dining in Miami can carry premium pricing, but this was my honest experience, and I felt it was important to share it. read more

I went here for my birthday earlier this week. It is a beautiful setting and ambience. I love the patio and decor and there was even a fire dancer. My favorite dishes were the rock shrimp tempura roll and the Yamashiro roll. I also really liked the tuna tartare and the katsu sando. I do have to say that the Wagyu Gyoza was very oily and dry and tasted like frozen Gyoza. The restaurant was very good, but I would say overpriced. It was a good experience for my birthday. read more

I am honestly still in shock after this experience. We had wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time, and we finally came on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, we left completely disappointed. There was only a fixed Valentine's menu for $175 per person, which meant $350 for two people with no option to choose anything else. That alone was already shocking. While the sushi was okay, everything else tasted like it came from a cheap diner, not from a professional chef or a high-end restaurant. Several dishes were greasy, heavy, and simply unpleasant. It was so bad that we could barely eat the food. I truly do not understand how this place has so many positive reviews. The entire experience feels extremely overhyped and far from reality. We paid about $600 including mandatory tips and received terrible food and very poor service. There was almost no real attention to us at the bar. The worst moment happened at the exit, when a security guard loudly chased after us asking whether we had paid. This was embarrassing, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable behavior. Instead of a special Valentine's celebration, the evening was completely ruined. I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant. One of the most disappointing dining experiences I've ever had. read more

The host treated me very poorly. I had a 9:45 PM reservation last night, and upon arrival I was asked to step to the side and then completely ignored. Thankfully, a very kind security guard noticed what was happening and immediately stepped in to help. He personally walked me to my bar seat and made sure I was taken care of. You really need to do better and treat guests with basic respect. I'm on vacation and was genuinely excited to visit your restaurant, but this experience was extremely disappointing. Because of this, I will not be returning the next time I'm in Miami. read more

Absolutely awful restaurant, the food tasted weird. The sushi was fishy. The ugly owner was rude to the customers that were overpaying for his overpriced bad quality food. Terrible experience. Never coming back , dont waste your time coming here. read more

From the moment we walked in we were greeted by everyone. Truly magical and made us feel like royalty. The martini presentation by "mustachio" was amazing (not to mention the actual martini!!) Everything we ordered was delicious. Our waiter, Bismarck who was excellent suggested the kale and it was unexpectedly delicious. The deserts were also exceptional. I want to make a special mention to the manager Alejandro who was key to making this evening so special and definitely memorable. I will be coming back soon. read more

Soooo excited they finally opened a Yamashiro in Miami. I moved here from LA and missed going. The food was amazing and the restaurant was designed so beautifully. The staff was really nice, my server Cammie was great. I'll definitely be back again soon! read more

Such an incredible restaurant! The food was amazing, but the service is what stood out. William was our bartender/server and truly made the experience. So attentive, friendly, gave us great recommendations and made the night so fun. He went above and beyond from start to finish. 10/10 in every aspect- can't wait to come back! read more

We went there for my birthday and we loved it! The restaurant's ambience was so inviting and upscale, food was very interesting and delicious, and drinks were pretty! We loved crispy rice spicy tuna- very crispy, and rock shrimps were great which made us order rock shrimp roll( my favorite)! Drinks were a little strange- fortune teller was very specific, i was expecting more whisky flavor, but it tasted more sour. The restaurant is very beautiful, love it that it's outside but feels like you are in Japanese garden! We will be back!!! read more

Loved Yamashiro in LA and was so excited to see it open in Miami. Dinner was great, and our server Cammie was amazing! She served my family and I and was attentive and quick. She was also really sweet and witty, it made the experience even better: Atmosphere was great and was recommended the Bavette. It was so good!! Will be back! read more

My husband and I had such an amazing valentines dinner tonight. The weather was perfect under the stars. WOW, it was so romantic. This is the third time I have been here and my husband's first time. I have been bragging about coming together and Valentine's Day was just so perfect. the staff was dressed all in red, it was just magical. I spotted this unique cart at another table and asked what it was. It was a Valentine's Day martini cart. It was all decorated with beautiful red roses and the gentleman making the drinks was all dressed in red of course. He did this amazing show for us and the martinis were right on. Dinner was perfection. Sometimes prefix menus are a hit or miss but this one was great. I loved everything. The spicy cucumber tataki and the lobster thermidor was my favorite. We ended with the heart shaped guava cheesecake and sealed it with a kiss under the stars. Such a beautiful night together. Thanks for making our valentine day so extra special. read more

I was so excited to try the Miami location but it was a huge disappointment. Food and service sucked. We were going to order apps and sushi separately so we could pace our meal but the waitress had us put everything in together and promised it would be paced. Of course it wasn't. We got hot apps first, half the sushi, cold apps and then the rest of the sushi. In terms of food: the gyoza and the sashimi was good. The rest was horrible. We got a rice pot with overcooked half mush half burnt rice. The rolls were disgusting they were chewy and tasted like they had been left out. Drinks: matcha martini and Negroni were okay. We got the martinis with cart service ($40 each!! But the show seemed fun)) and we literally just got a half empty martini brought by a waiter, no show. read more

Amazing experience at Yamashiro! The ambience is stunning and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Marco T was fantastic--charming, attentive, and gave great non-seafood recommendations. Highly recommend! read more

Yamashiro is absolutely one of the best restaurants in Miami. The attention to detail is seen in the food preparation and presentation and then further demonstrated by the informed and attentive service staff. What an unbelievable addition to the Miami food scene. Highly recommend! read more

beautiful restaurant inside the Gale hotel downtown. Its a rooftop setting with live Geisha performers doing fire dancing. A typical miami vibe with loud house music. Seating was tight which i didnt like, they put us facing directly at the bathrooms. Katsu sandwich was one of the best ive had. Drinks were terrible bc they use a huge ice cube and put 1 oz of beverage in the glass. its deceptive and unappreciated. will not return read more

It was ok. Food was good but not worth the hype it has gotten. The sando was very chewy and hard to eat. Music was very loud.

Yamashiro is such a vibe. The atmosphere is stunning, the sushi is incredibly fresh, and every dish is beautifully presented. The cocktails were amazing and the service made the whole night feel effortless and upscale. read more

Food was great and service was amazing. However, I was charged for my water refills when I didn't even ask for the refills. They kept refilling my water on their own and then charged me for 3 large water bottles. Would have rather ordered a drink for that price. read more

Went here on 3/28 and loved the food and ambiance!! It's rly too bad that we got stuck with the worst waiter in the whole restaurant (named Javier). He requested that we ordered everything all at once so he could "course it out" for us. Everything came out at weird / awkward times. He barely spoke to us and when he came to refill our waters he would only fill the glass 1/4 full. We were so thirsty the whole dinner. Then he only brought the soy sauce after we had had our sushi??? We watched as he mistakenly charged the table next to us for stuff they didn't order and then he did the same thing to us!! I ordered a lychee martini (not on the menu) and he took it upon himself to put grey goose in the martini and charge me $30 for it. We ended up having to full-on fight him to take the stuff off our bill that we didn't order. He was so rude. The table behind us had an amazing waiter named Juan who we ended up taking to bcuz our waiter Javier was MIA so many times during the meal. Juan was AMAZING. So kind, attentive, and willing to help. Really wish we were seated at this table and I'm sure we would've loved our experience but unfortunately Javier really ruined it for us. Btw they add on a 20% service charge which is BS bcuz we would have never tipped such a horrible waiter the full 20%. It's this kind of policy that enables rude and careless behavior from servers. Would not come back purely because of the service. read more

I will begin by saying the place is beautiful ... The girls at the reception area were amazing ... We had a 9:30 reservation we arrived a 9:45 due to long wait at the valet but once we checked in our wait time was 10min. which was great considering how packed the place was ... Once we were seated our waiter which had the personality of a gnat I don't think he cracked a smile the entire time we were there approached our table and proceeded to take out drink orders ... I ordered what seemed to be a "virgin" lychee martini ... Our busboy saved the night I didn't get his name I would have mentioned it here well deserved ... Funny, attentive and always making sure we were doing ok (all I know is that he is Colombian/Venezuelan because I asked) ... The appetizers and main courses were delivered in a timely manner but the food is over priced ... I ordered two chicken yakitoris one never made it to the table and when I mentioned it to the waiter I didn't even get an "I apologize for that" ... We were celebrating a friends birthday and when the desserts were delivered it took them over 5min to get us spoons ... By that time I was ready for my second lychee martini and this one was loaded with alcohol so much so that I wasn't able to finish it ... All in all the dining experience was not to par for a $1500 bill ... Wouldn't go back ... read more

This place blew me away. The food at Yamashiro was outstanding so fresh and flavorful across the board. The vibe is what really makes it special though: updated, fun, and effortlessly cool. It made for such a great date-night experience, and I can't wait to return. read more

Our family came here for dinner and we had a great time. Really enjoyed all the food, drinks, music, ambiance, and our server Cami was awesome. There overall experience didn't miss a beat. read more
