The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, this restaurant delivered a fantastic dining experience. Great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere make it a place I would happily visit again and recommend to others.

We ordered ahead of time, waited for quite some time. My husband drove all the way there, only to arrive home and realize that half our order was missing. Called them to complain, and they are taking off the missing items from our bill. The food we did receive was mediocre at best, honestly Publix does better than what we received tonight. The spicy tuna roll, one of our always staples, was just rice and tuna, no spicy mayo. Total disappointment. Waste of time, energy and money. They don't do delivery and we're certainly not driving back there, but I feel like in instances like this they should make it up to you. It's not about the money. It's about not having the food that you ordered and were excited to receive.

For drinks we had the Thai Cucumber, light and refreshing and just the right kick to start the night. We had a Wakame salad, not on the menu but the chefs happily provided when I asked. Followed by two rolls the Crunchy Roll, and the Sunset Roll. The crunchy roll was delicious just the right amount of crunch and spice to melt in your mouth,and so fresh. The sunset roll was good, but make sure you like Fried Salmon Skin as its the predominant flavor of the roll. It's a cooked roll so it's not The service was great, fast and attentive.

Spicy tuna roll looked and tasted like beat up tuna and the hamachi was drenched in soy sauce before getting plated on top of soy sauce and oil at the bottom. Why?! Waste of good fish or covering up bad fish taste? The only sushi roll that didn't have imitation crab or tempura shrimp was the Seattle amigo roll, but it was drenched in sweet sauce. 0/10 would not recommend anything we ordered if you enjoy good sushi...

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!

The menu includes a variety of authentic Japanese "Izakaya" style appetizers and small dishes as well as ramen and sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Their food is fresh and I am always looking forward to their daily specials. They have a variety of sake and sell beer and wine as well. They have a fun happy hour special where if you buy a beer, you get a free yakitori skewer which was absolutely delicious. The last time we went, we tried the black garlic tonkotsu ramen, which was extremely flavorful, authentic, and tasty. I can't wait to come back soon!

The rolls are very simple and i enjoyed that so much because you know they're not trying to cover up the taste of sub par food with sauces and deep fried oils. The miso soup especially is what sold me. its not clear or almost white like most places, you can tell its made traditionally. Adore adore!! The place itself is a bit small and i do wish the seats were more comfortable but the service was amazing! I felt bad because people were walking in AT closing time (some even 3 mins after) and they were still seating them. Kinda hope they stop that practice though because the staff seemed a bit overworked. My mom and i will make it a habit to eat here often! Outstanding food!!

Same quality, same kind service, same good energy. In a place like Coral Gables where spots come and go all the time, that kind of consistency is rare. If you're looking for a cozy, traditional Japanese spot with really good prices, please check out Sakura Japanese Restaurant. The food is always good, the service is warm, and it just feels like one of those places you're happy you found. I'll add photos from my first visit 3 years ago (on my camera ‍) and from today--you can see for yourself that the portions are still great and the prices are still super reasonable. I just really love supporting smaller, local spots like this, especially when they're this consistent. It deserves to be way busier than it is, so pls go show them some love before the big chains try to take over everything
