Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Leisure City

"You’d never guess this super authentic Japanese restaurant would be inside a hotel, but lo and behold, Azabu is located in the Marriott Stanton South Beach not too far from Ocean Drive. It feels worlds away, though. Dimly lit, quiet and beautifully understated, Azabu has a Michelin-starred sister location in Tribeca which inspired its Tokyo comfort food concept."

"Restaurants Japanese South of Fifth. Azabu is for the discerning diner. The one who prefers their fish be flown straight from Japan and likes rice cooked in specialty equipment calibrated to the Miami heat and humidity."

"Did not expect the interior to resemble the lobby of a Courtyard Inn, so we asked to sit outside which made up for the lack of ambiance."

"Bars Lounges Allapattah. Watr owns its stunning view of the ocean with a Peruvian-Japanese menu and a bar decked in reclaimed wood. The soundtrack is more akin to breaking waves than the usual club bangers you hear in these parts."

"The rooftop pool and lounge at the 1 Hotel South Beach is definitely the finest of its kind in Miami Beach, offering ocean views and a zen atmosphere. A photo posted by jenniferlevant (@jlevant) on Jul 14, 2016 at 10:32am PDT"

"Watr at the 1 Rooftop Miami is the perfect place to go to dazzle a date or have a memorable evening with friends. You can float 18 stories above the city and enjoy 360-degree views..."

"When I heard Itamae, an excellent Nikkei spot that initially debuted in a Design District food hall, was going to open its own restaurant, I was way too excited. I probably checked their Instagram page on a weekly basis for updates. I even ended up interviewing Nando and Val Chang about the process of opening during a pandemic, which sounded like a planetary-size headache."

"Peruvian-Japanese food in Miami. This Nikkei restaurant from the Chang Gang (Papa Fernando Chang, Son Nando and Daughter Valerie) who make the most delicious makis and ceviches in Miami. I'm looking forward a lot for the opening of their new location.". Itame140 NE 39th St #136Miami, United States"

"Restaurants Japanese South Beach. One of the original New York imports to find a home in South Beach (there are many now), Blue Ribbon is a solid choice in the neighborhood. It’s small but offers outdoor seating by the pool (it’s inside the Plymouth Hotel) and a comfortable sushi counter where you can watch the pros go to work on your rolls."

"Blue Ribbon is a top name in the sushi world and this Miami outpost lives up to the hype. Nestled in the historic and newly restored Plymouth Hotel in the flourishing Mid-Beach Dis..."

"Quickly becoming one of the most coveted reservations in town this Austin, Texas, import from James Beard Award-winning Chef Tyson Cole offers an untraditional spin on Japanese cuisine. The sophisticated menu consists of hot and cool tastings, and adventurous diners will be elated with the unique fish offerings. Highlights from the core menu include Machi Cure, which is smoked yellowtail layered with yuca crisp, Marcona almonds and Asian pear, and the hot rock wagyu beef."

"Completed in 1965, the HM69 Nike Missile Base houses one of the most interesting things to see in the Everglades: remnants of the Cold War."

"Few American parks can claim to front such a lovely stretch of turquoise as Biscayne Bay, but this fantastic green space is packed full of freebies too, including a great playground for the kids. The Tina Hills Pavilion has free concerts and yoga sessions, but Bayfront Park has some interesting public art worth discovering as well. The JFK Torch of Friendship recognizes the accomplishments of US congressman Claude Pepper, while Isamu Noguchi, who redesigned much of Bayfront Park in the 1980s, has three great sculptures: the Challenger Memorial, The Light Tower, and our favorite, the Slide Mantra."

"Few American parks can claim to front such a lovely stretch of turquoise (Biscayne Bay), but Miamians are lucky like that. Notable park features are two performance venues: the Klipsch Amphitheater, which boasts excellent views over Biscayne Bay and is a good spot for live-music shows, and the smaller 200-seat (lawn seating can accommodate 800 more) Tina Hills Pavilion, which hosts free springtime performances."

"My mother and I wanted some brunch so we decided to try Edukos yesterday. The food was fabulous and so was the service."

"Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"A newer addition to Wynwood’s brewery scene, Veza Sur is the fusion of two very successful breweries, Bogota Beer Company and 10 Barrel Brewing Company. Both a neighborhood hangout and trendy bar, Veza Sur welcomes guests to come and stay for a while with its communal seating, “casa”-like atmosphere, open spaces and even a garden. As for the drinks, visitors can expect house-made craft beers with Latin and American roots, popular micheladas, beer cocktails, and the famous ice-cold Brazilian Chopp lager."

"Located north of Downtown Miami, Veza Sur Brewing Co. stays true to its Latin-American roots, right in the creative Wynwood neighborhood. Veza Sur doesn’t disappoint with creativity either. Recently, they dropped a coffee porter slushy with Twix bars on top."
