My husband and I stopped by while on a trip to Miami. It's a tiny restaurant, but well-decorated. We had no issues getting a table on a Saturday night. The menu isn't too large, but it has a lot of interesting options for sushi. They also offered to make us a classic Philadelphia roll even though it wasn't on the menu. Our favorite roll was the Truffle Roll-goat cheese and sushi was amazing! Service was outstanding! Just a note that there are canned sodas for drinks. read more

Kraken Crudo - Salmon Roll and Philadelphia Roll (asked for them to make) - Japanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

I'm in town for a work trip and was looking for a place for a later than usual dinner. As a fan of sushi and fresh seafood, I was pleasantly surprised to see this place close by to the hotel I was staying at. I walked in around 9:30 PM and they closed at 10 PM, they still sent me and let me know the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM. Admittedly, I wanted to order the nori tacos, but they did not have them. I had the salmon belly Crudo and the Ahi tuna salad. Those were very tasty. It's a smaller restaurant in a row of shops so it's easy to miss. read more

Let's start with the positives. The food was solid. My family enjoys sushi and seafood. It hit the spot but that's where it ends. The server was pleasant and we had no issues there but the food took forever! We were the only ones here on a Friday night. Not even take out orders came in. Noticed the chef was talking to a girl at the bar instead of working. At times he just stopped altogether to chat. What was he going to do if the place was busy? Honestly we wanted to order more but didn't want to wait for it. Even the check took some time to come out. We had to flag her over. Like she forgot even though we were the only ones. The interior is cozy and intimate. It would be a great date spot but only if they speed up. read more

I live up the street from this place but never knew about it until recently. Came in tonight for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The menu was pretty unique! Everything I tried was super tasty- salmon tartare, roasted kraken, Zeus and jalapeno popper rolls. The jalapeño roll was especially unique as it was a warm roll which I don't think I've ever had. This is a very small but quaint restaurant. Prices are reasonable and service was good. Would come back! read more

I love the atmosphere here. Had the sailor Jerry roll, salmon all day roll, and the eel roll. Very great flavors and well put together. The eel roll, although very simple, was so our favorite. read more

Restaurant is small, but decorated well. Menu has a lot of unique items and fish tasted fresh and were tasty. The only complaint is that, the items were on the pricey side imo and the portion sizes were small. Service was also quick and great. read more

Four of us came in on a slow day, the dining room is small but cozy. Service was subpar, the server must had been new and forgot to add a couple things to our rolls and didn't really check on us too much. The food was alright, the seaweed salad was really good and the miso soup was great, the rolls were decent. What really made us not want to come back is when we got the check, even though service was slow we tipped 18% but the checked seemed really high even without tip, went back and found out there is an additional tax on top of the 7% standard tax that couldn't be explained. I got refunded but it left a bad taste in our mouths so we won't be back. Kinda disappointed because of how other reviews rave about this place. read more

This place was incredible! Some of the best sushi I've ever had. The zeus roll with the truffle soy sauce was unmatched ! A must try spot. read more

I was very excited to eat here with some friends because of the good reviews. It a casual sit down place that you can grab sushi. The food itself was OKAY. The fish didn't seem fresh and I wasn't wow'd by anything sadly. Everything was okay. The service was friendly and good. read more

I guess I'll be nice about this review. I seen this restaurant on some Miami videos. I watched on YouTube just getting to know the local area and food around me before I visited I tried every single thing that the server recommended we must of had different taste in food. He ended up bringing us out some citrus ceviche, fish tacos and for dessert some Kinda Oreo cookie roll everything was very unique. Me and my girlfriend tried everything the ceviche was some of the nastiest food I've ever put in my mouth raw fish with lemon and cilantro was absolutely disgusting I'm no waster so I tried to eat it and it felt like absolute punishment, the fish tacos were very unique and had some type of caviar baby eggs on top that exploded in your mouth when you took a bite not really a strong taste more of a texture thing I believe the seaweed shell was very crispy and tasted like eating a leaf.. I paid for the meal, but I was not happy. Some people might like this food. The reason for my stars on the review server was very nice. The restaurant was very clean. Just not my kind of food but I tried it. read more

My wife and I were down in Miami shopping for furniture in The Design District and we walked right by Kraken Crudo on the way and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The sushi was terrific and the service was outstanding. We had a combo sushi nigiri dish and a couple of sushi rolls and everything was fresh and delicious. And an ice cold Sapporo beer is a treat anytime. read more

This has to be one of my favorite spots for sushi in Miami. I've gone several times and they always exceed my expectations. It's a small place with a relaxed ambience. Everything was exceptionally fresh. I loved the salmon tartare. The tuna and truffle roll was incredible! Very different spin on a roll that I would have never imagined. Even for those who don't like truffle, it's not overpowering. But now, let's discuss that notorious roll. The baked salmon belly melts in your mouth like butter. The flavors are so perfectly balanced. I would be here everyday if I had the chance! read more

My wife and I dined in here for our first time visiting. The restaurant is in an unassuming area that is right up against NE second avenue so during traffic time the street is busy. Parking is nearby on the surface street and there appears to be a garage right around the corner as well. As mentioned, if you didn't know the restaurant was there you might not know to look for it. There's a small, intimate indoor dining area with some tables outside that are probably nice with good weather. Service was attentive and food was quick to come out. We started with a wakame salad that was fresh. For our rolls we ordered the Zeus (not pictured), ceviche roll, and jalapeño popper roll. The jalapeño popper roll was a pleasant mix of sushi and some melted cheese. Our other favorite was the ceviche roll that came with a sauce that was really fresh. To finish it off we tried the Oreo roll for dessert which was a fun and sweet spin on sushi. Overall we plan to visit here again in the future and try some of the other options on the menu. read more

We discovered Kraken Crudo staying at a nearby hotel, looking for local eats to try out upon moving to Miami. We were surprised and happy to see a small local sushi place nearby. The vibe was chill with a small and quaint setting. The dishes were delicious, as we tried sake, happy hour sushi, and their sushi "Pizzas". They came on sustainable dishes with sustainable eatery. The food was okay, and the staff was okay. We might come back, but the prices are a bit higher and the staff could be a bit friendlier and warmer. read more

First of all I want to say, I love the decor and atmosphere here. Small but very aesthetically cozy. A big octopus painting on the wall I love! Secondly the food is amazing . One of my favorite sushi spots here in Edgewater. Me and my girlfriend ordered a little bit of everything. I loved the tuna tartar sushi special roll. We also enjoyed so sake ! The services gave great suggestions like the artichoke appetizer. I would absolutely recommend for a date night, girls night or just a solo sushi trip! read more

Little hidden sushi spot in midtown with very delicious sushi. The menu is nice with a nice variety of raw sushi. The only reason I took one star off was bc I wish they had some tempura options which they don't. I went with my husband and daughter and we had a wonderful meal. The server was friendly and suggested a super tasty juice with matcha and chinola that was great. It's a quaint spot with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I ordered takeout sushi from here the other day. I have to be honest I wasn't that impressed. There weren't any distinct flavors and the sushi wasn't that unique. The fish was fresh but nothing overwhelmingly good to be honest. I was really looking forward to the tuna pizza because I love truffle. I didn't really taste or smell much truffle. They were a little skimpy on what I felt is a key ingredient. read more

I can't believe I waited so long to finally try kraken crudo, it exceeded my expectations and it's my new go to sushi spot!! The quality and unique selection of rolls are top notch, the price is absolutely affordable and worth it. I would even come here by myself for a roll! Must try the nori tacos, the seaweed shell is crunchy. We had tuna and salmon, couldn't get enough. The tuna pizza is also the perfect crispiness, with a drizzle of honey to die for. Mr.bombtastic roll was also heavenly with crunchy quinoa, tuna, salmon, shrimp, all the things. I love how most rolls come with tobiko or ikura to give it More Flavor. My favorite part is that you can have the rolls rolled in quinoa or arugula rather than rice! We finished with the Oreo roll WHICH IS SOOOO GOOD! It's the first time I tried an Oreo sushi roll and I will come back just for this! read more

With my extensive travel, I choose a hotel that is close to restaurants that I enjoy. This is a must restaurant if you truly love delicious sushi. Their Latino flair on a traditional Japanese Thai cuisine is over the top. The ambience is simple but relaxing. Although my go to is takeout as I prefer to relax in my hotel room. I'm sure avid yapper's will post a bunch of pictures as past reviewers have. Definitely one of my goes to. read more

Fantastic experience and food. Fresh, innovative and creative rolls. Service was on point. We did have a bum come in and ask for money, but that's the area and the current state of the country. Certainly not the restaurant's fault. Sample almost everything of interest from the menu in a very low pressure, low key environment. Won't hesitate to go back next time we're in Miami. Enjoy the pics - do many rolls and unfortunately didn't write them down. read more

I will forever give this place five stars because I love their sushi. It's fresh and the rolls are a decent size. Note to self, the lunch special was not available today as it was a holiday. Normally one of the best sushi lunch deals in the area for $13.50 (two rolls and soup/salad). read more

This little sushi restaurant is quite a find!!! Their dishes are fresh, delicious and creative without breaking the bank. The restaurant is small but has a really cool vibe. I went with a group of 4 and we all shared different things and not one disappoint. Will definitely come back and try more things from this inventive menu. Downside is that parking can be challenging to find so I recommend taking a ride service. read more

Some of the best sushi I've had in a while. It's a bit pricey but par for the course. The restaurant is tiny but looks clean. Service was good except they don't show you an itemized bill. All you see is the total and options to tip. So I had to ask if tip was included then ask for receipt since I don't look at prices when I order. read more

Super low key spot and Miamis little hidden gem. This sushi spot made an imprint on my taste buds. No joke! From the service to the food I was not disappointed at all.The sushi taste fresh, and every single bite feels addicting. The place gives more of a laid back chill vibe rather than upscale ambience, but I would rather have good food over ambience any given day. Let me tell you I travel and tried sushi allll over and recently moving to Miami I been on a search for a good sushi spot and this is THE ONE. I appreciate the creation of each roll, you can tell the chef cares about putting that extra love into the sushi. NOTORIOUS sushi roll 10/10 order it! Then tuna and truffle also 10/10 . The 3rd and final we don't even know the name because it was made special. So if you want get crazy and ask them to surprise you. This place does also have happy hour starting at 4 few options on apps, rolls, and drinks. read more

I give them an A for creative rolls, I have my eyes on that Oreo roll next time... It's a pretty small place and filled up quick (we got there at 7p on a Sunday and sat right away but in 10 minutes it was full). They're quick, friendly, and welcoming. It's hard to choose what to order with so many interesting options, don't overthink it, but you should probably get the ceviche roll. Ahhh the sauce/juice it comes with to dip. It was good with all the other rolls, too. Can't wait to come back and work my way through the menu. read more

All I have to say is "YUM" !!! It's weird because it's not your traditional sushi place. It's very fusion (so don't expect the traditional stuff). Let your taste buds guide you. Sushi is really weird with cream cheese but at Kraken, I can tell you that these sushi rolls with cream cheese are pretty damn good. I'd like to tell you that the tuna pizza is "ok" to me. I'm not used to having tuna with honey & it tripped out my taste buds. Appetizer : Tuna Pizza $13-$14 Sapporo beer $3 Rolls: The Notorious $16-$17 Tuna & Truffle $15-$16 Nigiri : Ikura $4 each All I have to say is to be open minded about trying to let your taste buds roll with it. The Staff was very knowledgeable and willing to help recommend some things on the menu. They were very accommodating and kind. Will be back! read more

I finally got a chance to go to Kraken. I've been following them for a while now on Instagram. Oh also check out kraken lab. This is a cute smaller sized space, but definitely cozy. The service is fast and friendly. My only "ehh" was that we had changed our mind for an appetizer and switched from the tuna pizza to the kraken maki, but the server I guess did hear us correctly and we ended up with both. I didn't have the heart to send it back. Now food, we started with the kraken maki, which is delicious. Tender octopus with cilantro and smoked soy butter just melts in your mouth. Honestly that order could be a meal. The tuna pizza was good, but the kraken maki is the winner out of the two. For main rolls we went with the captain roll and the tuna truffle roll. They give you the option of rice, quinoa, or arugula to have it wrapped in. The captain we went regular rice and the tuna truffle we went with arugula. Both were excellent and very filling. I can't wait to go back and to also check out the lab. I am dying to try a cone out. read more

Can somebody say "sushi tacos"??? This taco was so amazing between the spicy tuna, the seaweed salad, Tobiko, the fresh and crispy outer seaweed wrap this bite was to die for. The other picture is the salmon belly crudo. It had some pieces of Ikura on it, and the micro cilantro really brought out some awesome flavors. Every dish here seems intricate with so many tastes and the plates make you say wow. Not pictured was the Ikura rolls which were delicious as well as the truffle tuna roll! Recommend both! Can not wait to come back and try the Oreo roll! read more

Although Kraken Crudo seems like a small Sushi joint on the exterior, it is nothing short of spectacular. As a vegetarian, sushi is already a very limiting dish. However, kraken crudo has proved me otherwise. Their veggie truffle roll with pear, goat cheese, avocado, micro cilantro, arugula, topped with honey truffle is just- exquisite. It is by far the best sushi I've ever had, not just in Miami, but of all time. Their modern touch gives customers a chance to adhere to healthier options such as substituting quinoa or arugula in all of their rolls. The service is rather quick and also friendly, giving you an all around pleasurable experience. I already have so many things in mind that I still want to try for the next time I visit Kraken Crudo. This carefully crafted sushi spot will definitely surpass your sushi standards. read more
