Osaka Brickell: Extraordinary…read more My wife and I visited Osaka in Brickell, Miami, this evening--and I was so impressed that I rushed home to write this review. The Verdict In one word: extraordinary. We loved it. Restaurants often use the word "fusion" loosely, but at Osaka, it truly applies. The menu delivers Peruvian and Japanese fusion at its best: a thoughtful blend of South American and Japanese flavors, with each bite offering a beautifully engineered explosion of taste. Food The food is creative, beautifully presented, and genuinely unique--but Osaka offers much more than great dishes. Our server, Yesenia, guided us with recommendations that balanced our preferences with the restaurant's signature flavors, including a remarkably fresh sashimi amuse-bouche, Kiiro ceviche, a Hongos Teppan trumpet mushroom dish that was not listed on the menu, and a Nikkei Makimono that brought Peruvian flavors into a traditional sushi roll. The restaurant manager, Miki, also checked in during our meal. The service was casual, attentive, and perfect. Ambiance is paid to every detail. We ate at the sushi bar, but the main dining area was spectacular, and the bar area was sublime. Lastly, the music was a combination (fusion) of new age, Peruvian jungle music and Japanese sounds all blended into a crescendo on the experience. Try it....you'll love it. Ten out of ten !

This was an amazing experience!…read more 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!

Overall the quality is comparable to fancier restaurants like omakai. Everything was fresh and tasty, each bite was unique! You dont get hit by the 10% service fee most of these places have and you can pay with inkind app. Which means you literally can use discounts and rewards and cash up to 20% from what you spend (for a $25 off of 50 you can use my referral https://app.inkind.com/refer/MXKENCR2) The downside is that it is in the court room of the market of design district so you dont get that "omakase dining experience" also becauee everything is served all together and there is no wait time, you dont get full fast I would definitely come back one of my favorites without breaking the bank

Then they pour the bottle touching the rim of your glass spreading contaminated germs from the other patron's glass! GROSS! They proudly boast that their service is top notch, while it's 7 men standing in the corner and 1 sweet woman dressed like a geisha being obnoxiously monitored. The vibe felt very intense there. 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!

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. We all did the $200 tasting and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the bites. It's 8 courses that range from a nigiri sampler, small bites, and dessert. Most memorable were the clam broth, beef loin and carrots, and the fatty tuna nigiri with caviar on top. The fatty tuna nigiri with caviar was the main reason I wanted the tasting! There is an à la carte menu too, but it was a lot easier just letting the chefs portion out our meal. Would definitely check them out and enjoy a superb evening out!

With the bonsai tree in the middle of the restarunt. Started with the tuna pizza , spicy tuna roll which was prob my favorite. Both were so clean, perfectly balanced, none of that mayo drowned mess you get elsewhere. The salmon crispy tacos had a crunchy shell, yuzu garlic salmon tartare , this was so good as well. snackable, shareable, and gone way too fast. Then the Wagyu hanger steak came through and reminded me why I keep coming back to spots like this. Char on the outside, melt in your mouth on the inside, seasoned with a light hand so the beef could actually speak for itself. Closed it out with the chocolate terrine and honestly it was dense, rich but not overly sweet.

The courses were memorable and I would love to enjoy them again. The only reason I give a 4/5 is because the service was not the best. Upon arrival the host was not very welcoming, once we were seated, our seat was right by the kitchen entrance. It was somewhat distracting to be seated there but the overall ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant. We waited quite a while for our server to greet us, and after they did, they disappeared for a while before we could order. The food didn't come out in a timely manner, there would be large gaps of time in between each course which was a bit disappointing. We'd always have to get someone's attention to get something to drink which felt as if we were bothering them. I feel like for a restaurant of this caliber, the service should be just a little more attentive and caring. Beware of the parking, you may get three different prices on the valet parking as we did, and the restaurant validation does not cover the parking charge. I really wanted to give them a 5/5 but it was not the smoothest night out. Aside from the lack of service and parking hiccup, I do absolutely recommend the food here. Extremely well prepared and tasty.

It is small, beautiful with open space, and intimate that you will enjoy very much. The music is piped in and is relaxing. They provide excellent service and show pride of ownership. We didn't have reservations but we were welcomed and even received the best seats in the house. Our server was Francisco, who has worked there a long time, was excellent! We chose the Oma Deluxe because we wanted the entire experience. Francisco explained each sushi and what part of the fish we were eating. Each dish was brought out separately. There were about 9 pieces of different cuts of fish. They were delicious! My daughter had Sake and I had Non-alcoholic beer. Both went fine with our meal. Afterwards, we were served dessert. What a great experience! Give it a try when you can. Later, we went upstairs to ASTRA restaurant and bar to further enjoy our evening with beautiful views of Miami. Street parking is available in Wynwood.

Omakai was a great sushi stop in the heart of Wynwood. Clean restaurant, plenty of seating, and…read moreeven the bathroom passed the clean test. Parking is mostly limited street parking though, so plan ahead. This spot is more about curated tastings, sashimi, nigiri, and handrolls rather than specialty rolls, so don't expect a huge roll menu. We ordered the sashimi assortment, white fish tasting, seared salmon, bluefin tuna tasting, unagi foie gras, and a few handrolls including blue crab and negi toro. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful, especially the bluefin and unagi foie gras. Portions are on the lighter side though, so we left satisfied but not totally full. Cedrick was awesome and really made the experience better. He knew the menu inside and out and explained everything perfectly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Wynwood and want quality sushi without the overly trendy vibe.
