Salmon sushi
Melissa F.

We had a reservation on Friday at 9:30PM. We were seated by about 9:40. The ambiance of this restaurant is spectacular. We waited 5 minutes before being greeted by an SA who said he would bring us waters. We asked if we could order drinks with him and he said yes. I ordered a Negroni and she got a dirty gin martini. The server finally came and we told him we'd ordered the drinks. The martini came but the Negroni did not. I had to ask twice for it and the second time the server was already trying to take our food order. We told him it was our first time at the restaurant. There was no menu presentation and/or explanation. He did not make any recommendations until I asked him what his favorite thing on the menu was. We ordered a salmon sushi roll, yellowtail, tuna appetizer and a ceviche. The ceviche had a ton of lime juice but was ok. The rest of the food was very good. We ordered a very nice Spanish bottle of wine and the woman who did the wine presentation was lovely. She even asked if we wanted to move to a nicer table and we accepted. Once we were finished with our food, the server asked if we were ready for the check. He didn't ask if we wanted dessert, which we did. He brought the menu for dessert. We ordered chocolate cake and basque cheesecake. I liked the cheesecake better. The chocolate cake was quite dry. The server was inattentive throughout, especially for a place of this caliber. What was even more disappointing was the 20% automatic gratuity. 20% should be earned and I feel this server knew it was an automatic and therefore did not give high end service.

This was an amazing experience! The food and service were incredible! I was surprised to see it so busy but after trying the food I can see why! If you love Peruvian and Japanese food this is the lance for you. The fusion of both this delicious cuisines was to die for. This has been the best restaurant i've eaten at all year! I highly recommend the ceviche and rolls! The presentation of the dishes was also great The drinks are also great here! Although it was busy I didn't feel cramped inside, the decor is very modern. Great spot for a special occasion or if you want to have an amazing meal!

Osaka provided the upscale dinner I was looking for on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is decorated with a modern and upscale style. The food was amazing. We started with two sushi rolls that exploded with flavor in your mouth. The Nikkei was definitely my favorite. The octopus is a must so tender and soft. The Niki tartare had incredible taste. Service was great as well. Everyone from hostess, waiter, and manager are all ever attentive. Osaka is in the price side but worth it.

A truly unique dining experience with great service throughout. The tuna crispy rice was delicious with a fun, creative twist. The salmon katsu nigiri was heavenly...bright, lemony, and incredibly fresh. The scallops were a standout: buttery, decadent, and beautifully presented in their shells, with the cheese torched tableside right in front of you. The hot-stone wagyu was both interactive and indulgent, melting in your mouth and adding to the overall experience. A memorable meal from start to finish.

Wow - what a classy and high-end sushi spot! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the elegant interior design and the warm, welcoming staff. The atmosphere inside is vibrant and fun, so I definitely recommend sitting indoors for the full experience. Yes, it's on the pricier side--but if you order smart, it's totally worth it. I tried a matcha tequila cocktail that came served in a teapot (such a fun touch!) and it was absolutely delicious. The sushi roll I had was amazing, and every appetizer we ordered was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The desserts are absolutely incredible and unique as well. 10/10 - Highly recommend for a special night out or if you're looking to treat yourself.

The Service was absolutely amazing. Everyone was very attentive and very detailed. The ambiance is stunning. I expected a darker venue but it's all light and earthy. Truly a beautiful place. The food was very good. My favorite dish was the crispy rice tuna (the tuna melted in my mouth and those crispy rice crackers were take home good) and not pictured here the short rib with the most amazing rice. The toro was okay, but I could have done without it and the duck gyozas were good. Our server referred to my mocktail and a coconut daiquiri and I don't know what I would have explained it that way because it was a more watered down version (wasn't bad just not a daiquiri). My husband had a few of their cocktails and loved them. They have this pisco sour with chicha morada that was really delicious. I honestly would give this place a 4.5. Can't wait to go back to try more things.

Osaka is a swanky spot in Brickell that is serving absolutely fabulous food. My first experience with this Japanese / Peruvian style restaurant was at their location in Bogota. The Brickell location has the same swanky and sexy vibes with amazing food. We ordered our way through the menu and it was divine. Our order included: +Ceviche Sample - we got all three ceviches on the menu minus the classico because it seemed the least interesting. The osk - which includes Tuna, crispy quinoa, kyuri, yuzu ponzu sauce. +Katsu Nigiri: Salmon belly, lemon zest, white truffle oil. This was 1000 out of 10. +NIKKEI Maki: Avocado, shrimp furai, white fish, acevichada sauce, Osk furikake. It's the acevichada sauce that really makes it. +NIKKEI SALAD +INCA GYOZA +UMI MESHI - a delicious seafood rice skillet +PATO MOCHERO - a duck rice skillet +MARISCOS AL FUEGO - Sautéed seafood, togarashi-butter, ginger, lime. +Crispy Rice +Kani Taco - Snow crab, truffled aji amarillo emulsion, tobiko, crispy nori. Everything was fabulous and definitely the perfect amount of food for a party of five.I think the key to dining at Osaka is going with an adventurous eater who is hungry. While a lot of the items come with two per order, they were super easy to accommodate each dish to have five pieces when applicable. Ordering an item from each menu section is a great way to taste your way through the entire menu. From our order I definitely would not miss out on the katsu nigiri, the Maki, and the mariscos al fuego. Those were my three stand out bites that would be must repeats for me. Our server was awesome and super attentive. This place is on the pricier side, but absolutely fabulous for vibes, food, and service.

We had a spectacular dinner with Pan as our server, we had a guessing game on our table as to where we thought she was from, ask her, you may be surprised. What a great way to kick off 2026. My sister got a table at the last minute as their reservations are always booked and they were busy on that Friday night. She also knows how to order as we got some favorite repeats from tiraditos to Osaka style nigiris to makimono. For tiraditos, hands down favorite is the akami truffle tiradito which is Bluefin tuna, Peruvian chilli sauce, Kyuri chalaquita, sepia cracker, this is memorable as the fish is so fresh and that cracker, get it you won't regret it. The other favorite was nori furai makimono, salmon, avocado, crispy nori, tare criollo. We also ordered some favorite Osaka nigiris: Inca, Hamachi brasa, Katsu and Hotate Truffle. My favorite was Katsu which is salmon belly with truffle oil. Tip, ask them to torch it as it elevates the taste w/ the smoky flavor. Inca was cured tuna, aji amarillo, chalaquita, black quinoa. Hamachi Brasa was peruvian chilli rayu, roasted almonds, scallion, lime. We also ordered Peru tiradito which is Hamachi, uchucuta, pickled onion, sweet potato, leche de tigre. We also ordered the Nikkei salad which was delicious, crispy bits adds a crunchy explosion of flavor. My sister paired it with Chikurin Karoyaka sake which she said was very good also. Hands down a family favorite and worth every try bite.

My family and I were absolutely delighted at Osaka. We showed up very early to our reservation and asked to change our seating arrangement. I was surprised with how accommodating the staff was despite how busy the restaurant was. The experience was worthy of a family memory; Segundo (our server) described the menu with such detail and ownership, he made the extensive menu easy to follow. The food was great!!! We live in Central Florida and now will have a place to visit when we come back. The ambience was relaxed yet elegant. The music subtle and slowed for conversation. This is perfect for a family outing and even better for date night. I was impressed and will return. Thank you Osaka! PS: The compound butter with the sushi was exquisite.

The only reason I removed a star is because I made a resy for 9pm and even with the reservation and arriving a few minutes before, they made us wait and just sat us at 9:20pm. I don't like when restaurants do that, it's very annoying. Good thing the whole experience made up for this afterwards. As soon as we sat down the chef sent us a salmon sashimi as courtesy that was very fresh and tasty. Nice touch! The ambiance is amazing, they have a fun and lively playlist going on and I loved the modern decor. Our waiter was really nice, attentive and took great care of us all night. We ordered drinks, the Crispy Tuna, Tako Anticucho (octopus) and 2 makimonos: Nori Furai and Nikkei - the last one was my favorite, but everything is DELICIOUS and fresh. What a great experience we had at Osaka. Great place for a date night or dinner with friends...Will definitely be back soon!

Hamachi roll

Everything here is insanely delicious. The tuna foie gras was life changing. The fish is so delicious and all the nigiri's are perfect and full of flavor. Can't wait to go back. The service was also great very attentive and the ambiance is really nice as well.

Maria V.

If you love sushi it's a great spot to check out. Quality of their ingredients is great and love that they have fresh/real wasabi available. This is great for dates, group dinners and there are dining options for tables, patio or a bar area that's more lounge-y.

Reviews are largely positive. Diners praise the creative fusion cuisine, attentive staff, and upscale ambiance. Cocktails are also noted for their creativity.

First, the restaurant is absolutely stunning. We arrived a little early for a Saturday evening since we had a show to catch, so we got to enjoy the gorgeous atmosphere before the dinner crowd rolled in. Our server, Chris, was phenomenal! Attentive, personable, and genuinely wonderful throughout the evening. Now, let's talk about the food. Everything from start to finish was absolutely delicious. We began with the hamachi tataki and tuna tartare, followed by the Yamashiro roll, which was fantastic. But the unexpected star of the evening? The guava cheesecake! I'll admit, it didn't exactly sell itself to me on the menu, but one bite later, I was practically having a religious experience. Orgasmic is the only word that comes to mind! Trust me on this one. As an added bonus, Chris gave us a sneak peek of the speakeasy upstairs, which is an absolute must for a nightcap. Gorgeous restaurant, exceptional service, incredible food, and a hidden gem upstairs? What's not to love? 10/10 -- Highly recommend! And whatever you do, don't skip that cheesecake!

We especially enjoyed the yellowtail roll and the grilled octopus -- both were highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Considering the amount we spent, I expected a higher level of attentiveness. Our waiter was rarely around and seemed more focused on his other tables. I understand the restaurant was busy, but I still felt that our table could have received more attention. That being said, I would be willing to give Yamashiro another chance. The food and drinks were enjoyable, and hopefully this was simply an off night for our server. However, the service would definitely need to improve for me to have a more positive overall experience.

This was my first omakese experience, and what a great value for the price! Normally $89, we did…read morethe Miami Spice 10 course omakese for $60 per person. It did involve prepaying and a reservation, and you can choose from the 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, or 10pm seatings. There are only about 15 seats, so I wouldn't suggest trying to stop in without a reservation. The restaurant is small, quiet, and intimate, great for a date or a dinner with 1-2 people. In case you're not familiar, omakese is a unique, multi-course Japanese meal where each course is determined by the chef, using fresh ingredients and creative preparations that change frequently, if not daily. Each course is small and consists of just one thing, which the chef explains verbally. Mr. Omakese has 10 course, 14 course, and 18 course options. They also have a few a la carte items you can add on in addition to the chef's chosen courses. My only complaint was that there was about a half hour in between the start of the reservation and the first course being served. I was eager to get started! We ordered a carafe of sake to accompany our courses and it was placed in a bowl of ice next to us to keep it cold. The first course served was an octopus salad, very delicious and simple. The next course was a fried snapper. This course was one of the larger ones, but the fish was a little dry and could have used some sauce to compliment it. Next came the sashimi course - two pieces of salmon & two pieces of hamachi. The hamachi was served in a tangy reduction, similar to a tiradito preparation. This was the only course we were given soy sauce for, as you're expected to eat each course as the chef prepares it. Next came three pieces of nigiri, consecutively and eaten with your fingers. They give you a little wet towel to wipe your fingers on after each course. The rice component of the nigiri was hot and fresh with each piece. The first fish was a striped jack. The second was a Japanese barracuda torched right before serving (this was my favorite and I ordered a second!), and lastly a lean tuna. All three pieces were so fresh and delicious. The next few courses consisted of a handroll, chawanmushi (a savory custard-like dish), miso soup, and dessert (Japanese cheesecake or sesame ice cream). The service was great - the server was attentive and the chef was detailed in explaining what was in each course. We chose the 10 course since that was what was included in Miami Spice, however outside Miami Spice I'd recommend either the 14 or 18 course for the full experience! I did feel like I wanted a little bit more food with the 10 course, but of course you can always opt for a couple pieces a la carte as well. Mr. Omakese is a budget-friendly yet very high quality and delicious omakese, I'd highly recommend!

The quality is exceptional of the fish and the rice. There was not one single course i did not love. It was casual yet intimate and not crowded. Amazing experience.

My friend suggested we go here before a movie on a Wednesday afternoon. I got there early, as we were to be at the movies, at the Silverspot by 6pm. And ladies night/happy hour starts at 5pm. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by the hostesses and asked if I was there for ladies night. Then I was given two drink tickets. I sat at an empty bar. There was only one other person seated on the other side. At 5:15 a pack of women (5-6 ppl) walked in and started claiming seats and moving barstools around. I was saving one for my friend who was parking the car. When out of nowhere a manager (or someone who appeared to be in charge) ripped over to where we were seated and started talking to me sternly about moving chairs and saving seats. Never have I been reprimanded for saving one seat at a bar when there were other seats open. But I communicated with her that my friend was parking, and that I hadn't moved any seats. She reiterated again, no saving seats and then addressed the girls who moved the bar stools. Her tone was abrasive and honestly given what had occurred seemed out of place, especially that the bar wasn't packed and the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, this interaction really just tinted the whole experience for me. I was scolded for something benign and also for something I had not done. Before I was admonished, I managed to order a roll (spicy tuna maki) and a drink, the agave picante. Neither was outstanding but neither were bad either. However, given the fact that it was happy hour food/free drinks it was perfectly adequate, nice presentation on both. The bartender was sweet enough and given how the manager treated us I figured he probably received similar treatment from both management and customers, or either or. So I wanted to tip him well. However, when I went to pay, the gratuity was already included and I said to him I wanted to tip him more than $2.40, because honestly he wasn't at fault at all, for how I was treated by his coworker/superior. But I guess whatever system they use makes it difficult to change because he didn't make the effort to let me pay him more. (It took very long to get our check because of said system, not sure why, but the poor man had to go hunt something down to do so. I paid with a normal card, nothing out of the ordinary as did all the people in my party.) My friend who chose the place and the other patron who was sitting at the bar both commiserated with me about the interesting treatment, and said they never saw or experienced what I did. So I hope it was a one off and maybe I was just unlucky to be seated next to a large group of ladies. But overall, if I had to recommend a place for happy hour, this wouldn't be it. Plenty of other places have better options for food/drinks and better service in the area. But I guess if you can't afford to buy yourself 2 drinks at happy hour prices and you happen to be a female, I understand its appeal.

We got there a bit before our reservation time, and they let us sit in the smaller dining area as we waited for our spots to open up.

The hovering over people in this tiny, little whole in the wall restaurant felt overwhelming. I started to lose my patience being that there is so much staff standing around and found myself several times having to pour my own wine bottle. 2nd, I told them it was my son's birthday and nobody went out of their way to make his birthday special! And just a fair warning, you will spend over a $1000 dollars and walk out of there still very hungry! What a disappointment! Furthermore, they price gouge people trying to pass off as if his restaurant is Michelin worthy! An absolute joke! And here's the "best part" when I tried to voice my concerns, I was told to leave! I was very polite and instead of hearing me out, trying to make my experience better, I get told to leave! How disgusting! Please don't come here. The ambiance is terrible, overwhelming, and you will get sick because they have no consideration for cross contamination!
