Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in City Center

"This New York City import boasts a “hidden” sushi counter that serves omakase using local and imported seafood from fish markets in Japan. Wash it back with one of the 40 imported whiskies on hand."

"It may just be at Azabu Miami Beach, an upscale and trendy Japanese restaurant that serves some of the freshest fish in town."

"Japanese , Sushi"

"Chef Jose Mendin puts his own spin on a host of brunch standards inside this home-grown sushi favorite. Highlights include onsen tamago shakshuka with soft baked eggs in a tomato-anticucho sauce and Korean chicken and waffles with honey chili garlic glaze. And don’t skip the breakfast bao bun, a fist-sized delight stuffed with poached egg, avocado tomatillo salsa, chopped bacon, and chorizo.How to order: Reservations are available via OpenTable"

"Eighteen stories above 1 Hotel South Beach’s private beach, Watr At The 1 Rooftop serves up Peruvian and Japanese seafood with a heavy dose of atmosphere with waterfront views and city views from its chic rooftop. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by 1 Hotels (@1hotels) on Apr 27, 2019 at 10:15am PDT"

"The wooden bar and Polynesian inspired rooftop make water a must-visit place to come. Enjoy great nightlife that you usually don’t get in the usual clubs because the soundtrack is fantastic. The stunning ocean view, drinks, and Zen vibes will also let you feel that you are in a spa."

"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..."

"Any place that features pork as the star of its menu has a place in the heart of The New Tropic’s meat lovers. This gastropub serves up mouth watering, Asian-inspired dishes and its craft beer and wine menu will have the hipster in you itching to post an Insta against the exposed brick walls. Plates are small so take a big group and share all the little things (or hit up Pubbelly Sushi right next door for a second course)."

"Hands down the best place to sushi in Miami Beach is Pubbelly. They have about 15 different types of sushi rolls, each made to perfection. You can’t find rolls like these anywhere else, including the Arana made with soft shell crab, serrano, avocado and tomatillo or the Sake Aburi with Kanikama, salmon, yuzu, miso and truffle oil."

"Run by Sergio Navarro and Jose Mendin – a James Beard Award nominee – Pubbelly Noodle Bar caters to pork lovers. At this Bayshore hotspot, bao buns are jammed with suckling pig, dumplings swell with pork belly and slabs of barbecue pork float in bowls of ramen. The space is polished and modern, filled with conversation and music."

"The best thing about dining at Sugarcane is that you can try as many tapas-style dishes as you want, and always order more. At least that’s how Sugarcane hopes you’ll approach the menu, which includes everything from the now-ubiquitous small plates of edamame and shishito peppers to the kind of dishes you’ll only find here, like bone marrow with veal cheek marmalade, and duck and waffle with a crispy bird leg and mustard maple syrup. The restaurant has gained such a strong following over the years (there is an outpost in Las Vegas), that it’s also achieved that very distinct level of fame where even the most casual foodies have heard of it."

"The large indoor/outdoor restaurant is always lively with the sounds of people enjoying cocktails and oysters. The menu, by chef Timon Balloo, is diverse and global: small plates, meat, and vegetables from a Japanese robata grill, raw bar items, and sushi. Among the dozen or so robata items, chicken yakitori is a favorite — soft, plump pieces of breast meat interspersed with snippets of thick, almost-leek-like Tokyo scallions, all lightly charred and glazed with a slightly sweet, mirin/soy-based tare sauce."

"At Sugarcane, you get tantalizing torrejas ($10) — dulce de leche-soaked French toast topped with maple caramelized apples and accompanied by a luscious scoop of cinnamon ice cream. It’s a seamless blend of breakfast and dessert for the ultimate sugar rush."

"Try the Yellowtail Sashimi Seviche with ginger, garlic and soy, or a tiradito such as Tuna with lemon and fuji apple vinaigrette. Also from the sushi bar … […]"

"In business since 1991 and located at the rear of the hotel lobby, overlooking the Sealine Marina, this elegant Chinese establishment has earned a solid reputation for its attentive tableside service, white tablecoth-and-fresh-flower decor, and consistently excellent Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine. On one side, you have a view of the sunken kitchen sealed by a glass wall, where you can watch the expert chefs whip up masterful concoctions. On the other side of the open, airy dining room, you get sprawling views of Biscayne Bay and the Venetian Isles."

"Restaurants Chinese Omni. This nondescript, banquet hall-style restaurant does Chinese food for Americans, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if exotic cuisine isn’t your thing. Don’t miss Tony Chan’s Peking duck and its fried fish drizzled with the chef’s special sweet-and-sour sauce."

"Internationally renowned Chinese Restaurant in Miami, FL located inside the Doubletree Grand Hotel lobby, next to Biscayne Bay and the Sea Isles Marina"

"If you were looking for the Mad Men experience in Miami, then you will want to get a steak at Smith & Wollensky. This is a classic steakhouse with a beautiful view of South Pointe Park and all the luxurious cuts of meat you can imagine. Most of the cuts are dry-aged, although there are a few unexpected options like the gorgonzola bacon crusted filet."

"If you want a top steak with your view, Smith and Wollensky is the place. Its spacious indoor and outdoor areas provide plenty of room for safe dining during the pandemic. It features a beautiful waterside setting with large outdoor patios."

"This classic steakhouse perched in the South of Fifth neighborhood is just as popular for its views as it is for its meat selection. Grab a drink on the overlook deck and soak up the waterfront views while dining on your meal."

"The team behind celeb-favorite Sugar Factory launched the first Happy Place Donuts on Española Way in South Beach with a glass-enclosed kitchen allowing visitors to watch the donuts being made. While you can keep it simple and delicious by ordering a chocolate glazed or the original Happy Donut with a vanilla glaze, go for the outrageously fun options that include a rainbow donut topped with Skittles, monkey bread with sea salt cream cheese frosting, or a crispy Nutella donut. The Hot & Happy Dough Balls, a bag of brioche dough balls sprinkled in powdered sugar, are another popular choice."

"Come to Katsuya at the SLS South Beach hotel for impeccable cuisine from master sushi chef Katsuya Uechi and an equally impressive ambiance created by design impresario Philippe Starck. Chef Uechi works with traditional Japanese flavors and expertly adjusts them to match American tastes, to present a new take on Japanese cuisine. Check out the chef’s signature sushi roll – spicy tuna crispy rice studded with serrano pepper – or try a bit of all the menu highlights with the omakase menu."

"Last but not least, there's Happy Place Donuts, another downtown favorite with four stars out of 18 reviews. While gourmet doughnuts are first on the menu here, the gelato case is also worth inspecting, according to Yelpers. Stop by 507 Española Way to hit up the bakery and ice cream parlor next time it's too hot to contemplate being outside without a cooling treat."

"A post shared by LT Steak & Seafood (@ltsteakandseafood) on Jun 15, 2019 at 10:37am PDT. Whether you’re dropping by for lunch or dinner, this Miami Beach restaurant at The Betsy Hotel delivers on delicious. Dinner is probably the most popular time to dine; the house bread is mouthwateringly good and the entrees never fail to hit the spot."

"These sister restaurants located inside the Betsy Hotel boast a comfort food menu that will satisfy an array of cravings. From Cuban sandwiches, to hearty pastas, a variety of pizzas, and wines and cocktails to rinse them back with."

"Pay a visit with your little ones to the Miami’s Children Museum, which offers interactive exhibits and learning materials related to arts, literacy, culture, community and communication. The museum is for sure one of the top fun museums in Miami for families, as it has also been awarded in the past as “Best Museum in Miami” by the Miami New Times and the “Best Children’s Museum” by South Florida Parenting Magazine. Families tend to enjoy this museum, as it is an “institution” where they can play, learn, imagine and create all together."

"Play, learn, imagine, create at this educational and fun destination for kids of all ages. A wide variety of exhibits and activities include arts and crafts, a construction zone, the locally inspired Port of Miami, and Sketch Aquarium. 980 MacArthur Causeway, Miami | 305.373.5437 l Distance from Hotel: 7.0 miles"

"Housing one of Miami's finest private collections, this 30,000-sq-ft gallery has a treasure trove of contemporary works scattered across three floors, which you can roam freely. Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz, who..."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Design District. Pastry chef Soraya Caraccioli-Kilgore’s playful dessert spot sells vibrant unicorn cakes, rich chocolate bark and soft-serve in unexpected flavors. Her ice cream, in varieties such as matcha and berry rhubarb, is already pretty special yet she always finds a way to kick it up a notch with add-ons like edible glitter, gold leaf, gold dust, cotton candy and fancy sprinkles—and we’re all the more grateful for it."

"Soraya Kilgore — best known as the pastry chef at restaurants like Brava and Alter — is the woman behind this palace of sweets in Miami's Design District. MadLab Creamery isn't just about the ice cream, however. This spot also entices young and old to create their own sweet-treat work of art via more than 30 toppings, including edible glitter, tufts of pink cotton candy, golden-sheet sprinkles, even a macaroon or two."
