Sofi D.

Every positive experience you have heard about this place is undeniably correct. The prices are indisputably unheard of in Miami for such high quality bites. I truly crave coming here way more often than I should and if you want a solid delicious sushi experience on a reasonable budget, this is about the best you'll be able to find in the city. I really recommend you go for one of their specials, whether it'd be the Masa, Go-to-go, or Go-to-ren; they are so filling and the best way to try everything this place has to offer. I also believe depending on how hungry you are, they are well more than enough of a serving for a fully satisfied meal. My only drawback about the Matsuri experience is that as a very "americanized" consumer of Sushi, I always love to have spicy mayo with my sushi, and their spicy mayo is not very good (the only thing I can say that about on the menu truly).

This place was packed and rightfully so!! We got the REN Special for 2. We also ordered handrolls and we did not need those. We devoured every piece, the quality of fish was so good. I wish I lived here or I would be coming back often.

I went on a Saturday around 7:00 PM and had to wait about 45 mins. There were people waiting outside since the the place is not big inside. However, it is very cozy and the ambient is great. We sat in a booth in the back and it was the perfect spot. The sushi we ordered was a combination of raw and cooked stuff. Everything came out pretty quickly and the presentation was beautiful. Everyone was very pleased with what they ordered. I ate the cooked stuff and it was delicious. The portion sizes are fair as well. The service was great, Maria was our server and she answered questions and was very nice. I would come back here again.

Masa for 2
Mariam T.

A nice place! The service was pretty quick, we got the Masa for 2 which priced at $60 was decent for the amount of food we got and the quality of the fish. The interior was pretty cozy. Couldn't recommend this place more.

This place was overwhelming, to say the least. We had two waitresses taking care of us it seems. My friend & I had a small corner table right by the side waiter station. When we sat down there wasn't much space at the table, we kept getting pushed to place an order right as we just sat down. We were given no time to ask any questions. As soon as we got our appetizer we were immediately asked to place our order for entree within minutes. We were then asked not to use the menu as a place mat and she physically moved it when the plate was barely on the menu and there was no food being eaten on it. We then watched the server dump a cup of water from someone's table into the pitcher then refill the cup with water and give it to someone else. Very fast paced restaurant but rushing your customers to hurry up and get out feels very uninviting and uncomfortable. Feeling very uneasy after seeing that and makes me question what else was mishandled behind what we could see. Don't see us returning.

Had to stop here because I saw social media videos and the tuna looked so juicy so finally made it happen and so happy finally did! We did the large platter 100 bucks but so worth it you get generous portions and plenty of sashimi and nigiri it was to die for. I really am so impressed by the silogismo and if you're hungry hungry and can just take down endless Tuna this is your spot! Service was quick sweet and attentive. The location itself is small but spacious at the time I went which was middle of the week at the very opening. Highly recommend overall!

Tempura UDON soup!

If I could give 10 Stars, I would!. Food is AMAZING, servers are not so nice (some of them), but the food is worth it so it doesn't matter.

Masa fish only

We came here decades ago with someone from Japan so we were introduced to an authentic gem back in the day when sushi was not as common. We used to come frequently over the years as it was a family favorite; however, recently rediscovered it in Dec and went back twice in the past 3 months. We did not realize line up culture was a thing but we get why. In Dec, we ordered the Matsuri combo (pictured) 12 sashimi, 6 sushi pieces with miso soup & tuna roll along with a few other items, salmon aburi nigiris, ohitashi. We got yaki nasu grilled jap eggplant w/ bonito flakes and yasai Itamae sauteed veggies as take away. The server was a bit confused and not as attentive but they do get busy once they open. Then during our recent visit last week, we ordered Masa for 2 combo fish only (pictured) 16 sashimi, couple of sliced shellfish, 9 sushi pieces and 2 rolls: spicy tuna and california roll w/ unagi topped, and miso soup and house salad. The fish was so fresh, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Then we got ohitashi and kimchi-ae to go. If you're looking for authentic Japanese restaurant, this is it. Our server this time was great, attentive and explained the difference between Matsuri vs Masa boats. Hope to keep frequenting this gem.

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior! Matsuri may be some of the best sushi I've had in Miami, and I was so impressed by the stunning quality and freshness of the fish. Even the non-sushi dishes surprised me - I would highly recommend the Age Tofu and Udon noodles! For sushi, you can't go wrong with the Tomo Tomo Special - especially if you're in a group. I will definitely be thinking of this place when I'm craving a sushi experience that combines the quality of a high end restaurant with the ease and comfort of a local go-to.

if you prioritize nigiri and sashimi freshness this is the perfect place. we came at 12pm on a Wednesday and the tables filled up quickly. the tables are small and extremely close together, causing a loud ambiance which isn't my thing, however the food quality and price made up for it. 7 nigiri and a roll was only $20. amazing price

I have been wanting to come here for years. It is a local gem. Make a reservation via phone. It is busy. Filled with dates, family, and friend groups. . The service was good. Very efficient. We went for the Masa for two. It was a great amount of sushi for two people for $30 each. My friend ordered the dessert. I did not try it. In terms of the sushi I highly recommend it. It is fresh with a great variety and amount. I am definitely coming back here again. They have excellent lunch specials. Easy parking. I am so happy I went to this local gem !

I want to start by saying that the food here is always a five out of five--consistently fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. However, this time, the service was slightly below expectations at a four out of five. Despite having a reservation, we were seated 15 minutes late, which was unexpected, especially on a Thursday night when the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. That said, once we were seated, the service was efficient, and our food arrived promptly. My boyfriend and I always opt for the Tomo Tomo for its superior quality fish, even though it is on the pricier side. I personally don't mind splurging for quality, and in my opinion, it's well worth it. The portion is generous, and the Tomo Tomo for two is always filling, especially with the included soup and/or salad. We were extra hungry this day so got the chicken skewers. The ambiance is upscale casual--elegant yet not overly formal. Overall, this place consistently delivers an excellent dining experience, and I highly recommend it for those looking for high-quality sushi and a refined but relaxed atmosphere.

Sushi platter

Quality is sooo good! Nice little whole in the wall & the place is always packed so you know it's really good!! Tables are pretty stacked close to each other but it's fine!

I think I may have ordered a little too much! Lol Go to Ren special

Does anyone have a phone number for them that isn't always busy? Their 1615 number always has a busy tone and we can never make a reservation?

Their number is almost always busy, they are insanely popular. I love Matsuri, but reservations are usually either not taken, or not honored. I even tried just call ahead seating with no luck. Doesn't prevent me from going up to 3 times a month.… Read more

Does Matsuri deliver? Does anyone else have trouble with their phone lines / getting through to order?

They don’t deliver. Did you call on a Monday? Because they are closed. If not, they were probably just very busy.

Anyone know why they are closed? Drove by last Friday after they didn't answer the phone and it was closed. No answer tonight either.

Employee Vacation! They'll be open soon. I think this week.

There is a reason Michelin gives out stars. One is for exceptional food and a dining experience…read more Shingle is one of those perfect examples. Located on the side of the Palmas building in Coral Gables Florida shingle is a small contemporary modern feeling restaurant with everything you'd come to expect from a one star Michelin restaurant here in Miami. We went for Valentine's Day to do the Omakase menu that they were presenting. It was well worth it. Each individual bite was an experience in of themselves. One particular piece was a squid dish that was sliced so thin it felt like you were eating silk. The tuna courses were incredible. Flown in fresh for the night -- piece after piece -- spectacular. We ended with the toro -- heavenly. The oysters -- west coast and east coast oysters with completely different tastes. Crispy Japanese Milk toast with ikuri (divine) and the other with fresh flown in Uni (heavenly). The Wagu is delicious (although personally I enjoy my Wagu with a simple sear). They had an eel (fresh of course) with caviar -- WOW. And finally a a triple threat of Uni, Ikuri and caviar to end the night. We loved the Shingo experience. Do yourself a favor. Head over to the Mile of a cocktail (one so you don't lose your senses for the meal) then hop over to the restaurant and spend a few hours delighting those senses in a culinary experience.

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is intimate, calm, and not flashy. The hostest Brenda was very attentive to all of our needs and truly enhanced the experience. Each course is thoughtful and deliberate. My favorite course of the night was the eel and caviar. Perfectly seasoned and well balanced flavors. Each meal came out perfectly timed. It didn't feel rushed and there was no awkward downtime. If you are looking for an authentic omakase experience, Shingo is something special. There are only 14 seats available, so it is definitely for a special occasion. This was worth the wait and the price! Thank you chef Shingo and your staff for making the night so special!

The starter omakase runs about $68. It was around seven courses plus dessert, and honestly, every dish pulled its weight. Bonus points to the server, who gave clear, thoughtful explanations. Menu-wise, don't expect a parade of rolls they're clearly nudging you toward the omakase experience. But if that's the goal, they're doing it right. All in all, a really enjoyable meal and one I'd happily circle back to, next time to explore more of the menu.

This spot is located in an unassuming shopping center where a Nicklaus building is, which is perfect for when you're in the mood to keep a low profile. It's a small, intimate restaurant with counter top seating and a few tables. From the moment we walked in, the folks chopped it up with us and made jokes, which is great because it broke the ice in a way that felt like you were amongst friends. Excellent service all around. We sat at one of the tables as we intended to do a lot of talking and didn't want to be noisy at the counter. We decided to take the recommendation of the staff and did the omakase express option and a sake sampler pairing with three different kinds. No notes here because everything was great, there were several "MMMM!" moments (wish I remembered what each bite was!) and the first sake we got (pictured) was fantastic. Would definitely buy it to have at home. Big shout out to Allie, who covered our table on her first day, was very cool and definitely helped steer the dinner in the right direction. If you're in the Doral area and in the mood for some quality Japanese, definitely stop by here!

It is my understanding that these are used at yakitori shops around the world. Anyhow, when I saw that Dojo Izakaya used this grill, I had to check them out. The restaurant is pretty modern and the service is top notch. I got a vibe of a x star Michelin restaurant, but fortunately/unfortunately it is not. I ordered the fried chicken, grilled gyozas, and a grilled branzino. The chicken was really good, with excellent flavors. The grilled items had a special grilled flavor, more intense but also more delicate than regular smoked foods. It is a nice alternative to regular charcoal grills that many places use, as well as smokers at smoked meat restaurants. I appreciate the offerings, the variety, good flavors, etc. The menu changes weekly or monthly, so this is an active menu that offers diversity. If the restaurant wants to be a fine dining restaurant, I can see them going in that direction. Otherwise, they could stay as they are and continue using the unique grill flavors.
