38 Best Restaurants in Miami | Eater Miami

"Located in the upscale Bal Harbour Shops, this bustling Japanese restaurant is a favorite among well-heeled locals, tourists, and celebrities. Having recently moved three floors up from its original spot, the redesigned space now offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with coral pinks, saffron, and sandalwood hues, accented by oversized floral motifs. Chef Makoto Okuwa offers some of the best sushi and sashimi in Miami, complemented by dishes from the charcoal robata, including wagyu filet, rib-eye, sea bass, and lamb chops. The extensive sake list and creative cocktails, such as the Tatsu made with mezcal, passionfruit, hibiscus, and Hellfire bitters, round out the experience." - Allison Ramirez
