Really enjoyed this place The sushi was so fresh and honestly everything we ordered was delicious. The drinks were also really good and complemented the food perfectly. The whole vibe of the restaurant was nice and relaxing, and the staff made us feel very welcomed the entire time. You can tell they care about the experience, not just the food. Definitely one of those places you leave already wanting to come back to read more

Overhyped? The restaurant is a bit hard to find. There are a number of parking lots and valet across the street charging a flat rate of $20. There is a small ramp leading you up to the restaurant which can be easily missed if you don't know what to look for. I had made reservations earlier in the day through Open Table and had to wait a short while to be seated. I had indicated in the reservation that we were coming to celebrate a birthday but none of the staff acknowledged this. The restaurant was busy but not too loud. Despite hearing a lot about the ambiance, I did not think the decor was anything out of this world. Given that this was our first time at the restaurant, we took our time looking over the menu. I felt that the waitress was a bit impatient and wanted us to make up our minds. She never offered any suggestions and when we told her we needed a minute she took that literally and did not seem happy we needed more than the additional 60 seconds she provided. We ordered the crispy rice (2 pieces tuna and 2 pieces salmon), the classic ceviche, Paper Tuna roll, Salmon Furai roll, Spicy Tuna roll, and Hamachi Jalapeño roll. I had indicated to the waitress that we wanted the crispy rice and ceviche to start with the rolls brought afterwards, but the sushi came out before anything else. She then brought out the wrong ceviche and the proper order was not brought out until the end of our meal. Despite these mishaps, the table agreed that the food was good. We felt that the ceviche was a bit small but this may have been due to the kitchen rushing the order out. While the sushi was tasty, there are plenty of other sushi spots around Miami that offer similar rolls. Towards the end of our meal, we secretly asked our waitress to bring out a dessert as a surprise to the birthday guest. She then proceeded to clear the table, bring out spoons, and announce that the dessert would be out shortly. Overall, I would not come here to celebrate a special occasion. The service was disappointing and while the food was good, there wasn't anything unique that would justify coming out to Brickell to eat here again. read more

I've been to Paperfish dozens of times since I've moved to Brickell. It's been my go to sushi spot, and have highly recommended it to friends and co-workers to try out (and have previously left 5-star reviews). On Saturday (3/7) we ordered Salmon Furai from Uber Eats, and it arrived with it raw (I wish I had a picture but took it directly in the Uber app for a refund). Never in all our Salmon Furai orders has it been raw, and it is not starred as raw on their menu. I was going to give Paperfish the benefit of the doubt since restaurants can have bad days, but on Sunday (3/8) placed another order for Salmon Furai since we did not get to enjoy Saturdays, and left a comment to please make sure it is cooked. Making sure it is cooked does not mean burning it to a crisp as you can see in the attached photo. I'm not sure if Vida and Estilo is a new food group that bought Paperfish out, but back to back nights with serious food quality issues when I've never previously had an issue is concerning to say the least. Next time, we'll be going to Osaka. read more

Paperfish Sushi - Burnt Salmon Furai - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Every bite was fantastic--I'm still dreaming about the black cod bites. The torched salmon aburi was truly melt-in-your-mouth, and the hand rolls reminded me so much of KazuNori in NYC. The fish ceviche was also excellent and incredibly fresh. My one downside was the sake situation. We ordered a bottle, only to be told it wasn't available--this happened three separate times before we finally gave up and asked for three glasses of whatever sake they actually had. That felt like a clear miss on the procurement/inventory side. That said, the space itself is very cool. The interior is covered in collage-style artwork, there's a massive faux tree structure in the center of the room, and a projector playing visuals that really adds to the vibe. Overall, amazing food and atmosphere--just wish the beverage execution matched the rest of the experience. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a great vibe and fresh food! My friends and I shared the omakase, which was beautifully presented. It was more like a sushi boat vs the omakase one-by-one experience we may be more used to in the area but it wasn't a disappointment considering the presentation. The fish tasted super fresh and I especially loved the roll they included. Diego did a great job, offering helpful suggestions on food quantity in terms of what would be shareable for a party of 4. He was super attentive and offered great suggestions. read more

First time coming to Paperfish and I feel like it was a bit overhyped. I came here with my cousin for a drink and some appetizers and was not impressed by any of it. For starters, we did not see the restaurant until we turned the corner while looking for parking because it looks like it's in an alleyway between other buildings and businesses. We found street parking about half a block away (pay by phone of course). The restaurant does not offer valet and I am unsure if the spaces in front of the restaurant are paid parking or if it's for another business. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the servers were nice and very attentive. They were quick to serve us our drinks and first 2 appetizers, and they cleared the tables quickly when we were done with a dish or drink. However the last appetizer took a bit longer to arrive. Sadly, I was not impressed by the food or drinks, and there was not one thing I ordered that would bring me back to the restaurant. I may have been anticipating coming to this restaurant for so long and expected too much, or maybe the things we ordered are not the things that the restaurant is known for. I would much rather go to another sushi spot. read more

We came here on a semi busy Friday night for some sushi. We ordered the baby corn, the jalapeño sushi and the Wagyu. I didn't realize that with the wagyu that you basically have to cook it yourself. you have to be quick because the actual hot stove cools off within a few minutes, so it felt a little rushed to eat it since we were sitting outside. I wish we were more about that prior to ordering. The sushi was really good. It was a little bit spicy, but still great. The baby corn was great. It was very unique and very well seasoned. I was also really happy with the shrimp that we got. It was perfectly coated in a sauce. read more

Careful eating here. My daughter had the scallops and got food poisoning . She notified the restaurant

My friends suggested this place for a happy hour on a Friday evening. I got there a little earlier than they did and sat at the bar and was handed the menu for the Miami Spice month. It looked good, but I really wanted to try the happy hour menu my friends spoke of. So I had to ask for it. My friend arrived shortly after and we ordered drinks from it. The drinks not only were delicious, but also very appealing to the eye. The bartender was a little inattentive. She was on her phone for a long time, and genuinely I really don't care, but I clocked it because we were one of the only group sitting there, and there was two of us, and then there was another person sitting by themselves, and we constantly were trying to have to get her attention. However, a second bartender arrived within 15-20 minutes and really turned the night around. We ordered a lot of sushi off the happy hour menu and all of it was amazing. So overall, this is a solid place for sushi and an adequate place for happy hour. read more

This was for sure some of the best sushi I have ever had. We made reservations but did not really need them because it was pretty empty on a Sunday night. Service was very fast and we got our food within 20 minutes of being seated. Everything is so fresh and flavorful! Additionally, they have an amazing happy hour until 7pm. 5 pieces of sushi are $8 during the happy hour. they also have a few drink options on there for only $8. I highly recommend anything on the menu and would definitely dine here if you like sushi! read more

Paperfish Sushi - Spicy Tuna Roll(x2) and miso soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Hidden restaurant in Brickell where everything I ordered was delicious. The torched scallops were like butter. The New York roll was simple but tasty. Finally, the crispy rice was tasteful. I prefer the tuna over salmon! The atmosphere of this restaurant is beautiful and welcoming. In terms of service, they bring food out as you order. I like this as the food is fresh and warm, not sitting on the warming tray until other items are ready. Not pictured is the crispy black truffle fired rice with shrimp. You NEED to order this if you are a fried rice fan. It was maybe the second best I've had in my life. Rating: 8.9/10 read more

Went for happy hour but it was almost over the server was nice enough to let me order two drinks and appetizers 4mins before happy hour was over. The drinks were very delicious and the ambiance was very nice. Was able to order Acevichado that was 10/10 the flavors burst into your mouth!! As for the Hamachi Jalapeño it was okay I wouldn't order it again it was lacking flavor. Overall it was a great night out. read more

Went here for a friend's bday dinner last weekend and absolutely loved it!! The crispy rice app was a favorite, but truly ever roll was delicious and unique. The fish was fresh and the flavors were great. The fried rice was the only thing we ordered that felt a little simple and needed some spice in my opinion. Service was good, outdoor patio was cute and spacious, and martinis were great! read more

This place may be one of my favorite happy hours right now! First, a daily happy hour from 4-7 pm, as in yes, even on weekends! Second, you tell me how many happy hours you have found in Brickell on the weekends, much less a happy hour you actually want to go for. The entrance is certainly the most creative one I've walked through, with a replica of a torii (a temple gate) surrounding the staircase up. It was kind of hard to find, despite my putting in the correct address in an Uber. My friend and I had to walk around the block and past Barsecco a couple times before being able to find it. I couldn't even find it and it took a worker in the back of a building, asking if I was looking for the restaurant, and he pointed me towards the entrance. Once you find it, though, it is a treat to be inside. The ceilings are high, and there are cherry blossom replicas decorating the booth ledges to give it a cute Japanese feel. The cocktails are $7.95 each during happy hour and are well crafted. I had a Passion Fruit Martini which had plenty of fresh fruit flavor, without being overly sweet, as well as a Dragon Mule which is a Moscow Mule made with dragon fruit. The purple color of the dragon fruit made an ordinary fresh mule so delightful to drink. We sat at the bar and could see our drinks being carefully made, which explained the great quality of the drinks. The lychee martini was also incredibly great/strong, combining the candy sweetness of puréed lychee with the punch of vodka--- exactly what you want in one. They have sake, white and red wine, and beer for $6.95 during happy hour as well. Pretty amazing pricing for Brickell! The food offerings do not disappoint either. Each happy hour food item is $7.95 and are satisfying to have. We had two orders of the sashimi chef selection, and it came with thick cuts of very fresh akami tuna, hamachi and salmon. We shared a 5 piece roll of the Hamachi Jalapeño which was also fresh and flavorful but not overly dressed, so I could taste the fleshy hamachi inside with the zesty micro greens on the outside. Salmon Nigiri is also offered for four pieces in a dish, and I'm glad we got two orders of them. The sushi rice amount was just right for nigiri, and the salmon was the perfect amount of flesh and fatty that I wanted about 20 more of them. This was a great way to have some wonderful bites and drinks in the start of what turned into a night out in Brickell! I've already told friends about the drinks and menu items, and I'm already thinking about when to go back! You should try it too! read more

Wasn't the easiest to find using Apple Maps walking directions but make sure you look behind the metro mover for the cute red stairs. The decor inside was so cute. Started with the spicy edamame, then ordered 1 Tuna Crispy Rice & 1 Salmon Crispy Rice and for dinner I had the Truffled Scallops. Let me just say the Salmon Crispy Rice & Truffled Scallops are AMAZING. Can't wait to return to order both items again. read more

Food: overall a solid and casual japanese sushi experience. The selection isn't vast however that's a good thing when we're talking about keeping an inventory of fresh sushi. The uni nigiri was a bit fisher than I prefer but otherwise, sushi rice was perfectly seasoned. I enjoyed the fact that they offered furikake on top of sides of sushi rice. The miso seabass was a smidge too sweet otherwise it would have been five stars. Atmosphere: all of the other restaurants were blaring loud clubbing music. I'm really glad this place didnt. read more

Traveled to miami for the weekend and was craving sushi. This place had the best reviews/ambiance in Brickell, so made a reservation and came here for dinner. Love the decor inside. Dimly lit, yet modern. All of the food we got was delicious. My favorite was the crispy rice and the scallops that were torched tableside. Favorite drink was definitely the lychee martini. Amazing. Was a little had to find the entrance because it's tucked behind a parking lot, but definitley want to come back! read more

Beautifully designed, you walk through a Shinto inspired shine resembling entrance, a very pure Japanese experience. Hostesses were efficient, a little delayed from my start time but got me seated within a reasonable time. Our server was very kind, almost perfect but could have been a little more attentive with water fillings and checking in. Overall consensus was the food was spectacular but perhaps expensive for the quality you get. The sushi quality was fresh and tasty (I got the truffled scallops nigiri and the miso inspired roll). To be fair, you're paying for location and ambiance too, so all n all I felt it fair. I'd recommend and return! read more

Love love this restaurant! Everything - food, vibe, and service - was perfect! And their happy hour is such a good deal too! For anyone who loves sweet drinks, I recommend the passionfruit martini. Their california roll is delicious, and their veggie roll is actually the best veggie roll I've ever had. The spicy edamame is great as an appetizer too! If I lived closer, I'd be visiting for happy hour all the time! read more

On our way back from the Keys, I used the trusty YELP app to find this most amazing sushi spot. Started with a lychee martini and it was telling of the rest to come. Highly recommend the Black cod bites and Waygu gyoza for starters! I ordered the Paper tuna roll and again, awesome! The light citrus style sauce brightened up the dish perfectly! My husband ordered the spicy tuna roll and it was also delicious (I liked mine better...) we finished off the meal with a chai crème brûlée and cappuccino which was fantastic! We had Nicole as our server and she was very sweet and provided fast yet unhurried service. It was lunchtime so it was a little busy but still nice and quiet enough to carry on a conversation. We highly recommend this spot if you're ever in the Miami area! read more

I was wandering down Brickell, half lost in thought, when a soft glow caught my eye. A paper lantern swayed gently above a sleek entrance, its warm light spilling onto the sidewalk like a quiet invitation. Stepping inside felt like crossing into another world. The chatter of the street faded, replaced by the rhythmic chop of knives and the melodic hum of conversation. The air carried a delicate perfume fresh tuna, toasted sesame, and the faintest hint of yuzu. My seat at the sushi bar became a front-row ticket to a performance chefs in crisp whites moving with the precision of artists, each slice and torch flame deliberate and beautiful. I started with the signature nigiri buttery salmon that melted before my mind could catch up with the flavor. Then came the Paperfish Roll, a masterpiece wrapped in soy paper, crowned with sweet mango and drizzled with truffle ponzu. It was bright, velvety, and electric all at once the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes and forget where you are. The bartender slid me a glass of sake, chilled to perfection and told me the story of Paperfish Sushi. A place built not just for dining, but for moments where Miami's heartbeat meets Japanese precision. I realized then, this wasn't just sushi it was a love letter to flavor, atmosphere, and experience. I left that night with the lantern's glow still lingering in my mind, knowing I had stumbled upon a place worth telling everyone and their mom's mom about Paperfish Sushi. read more

Tried the happy hour and it was great! The food has decent number of options for $7-$8 the plate, pf course is a happy hour portion that is smaller but adequate to try many small bites. The drinks are also good and tasty and in regular size. Would definitely go back. Parking is not as easy in the area so it depends on what your budget is, street parking is more difficult to find than flat rate garages. read more

Wow. Usually I don't write a bad review but this experience warrants at least a manager to review what is going on. They did not ask us for Acqua Panna but kept refilling our waters with it. We figured maybe they just refilled their water with tap in Acqua Panna bottles since it was not Acqua Panna. But no, they charged us. If you DO order Acqua Panna, please make sure they open it in front of you. Not sure why some items were on happy hour and others were not as we ordered everything at the same time. Food was mediocre and as good as a mainstream generic sushi place. I expected more from Miami but this was very disappointing. I generally do not write bad reviews or if I do, I still give 5 stars but if this review can deter possible customers from coming here, I hope it does. Sorry bro. This restaurant sucked. read more
