Master Critic Review
Moshi Moshi Brickell
8.0
A 20-year Miami institution that was doing late-night ramen before it was trendy, open until 5AM every night with an izakaya-style menu spanning crispy rice rolls, A5 wagyu ramen, and deep-fried cheesecake. The value proposition is strong—quality ingredients at prices that don't punish you for ordering a second round—and servers like Luis and Noel get called out by name. Peak hours can slow the kitchen considerably, and some find the ramen merely solid rather than destination-worthy. Works best as a reliable Brickell standby or post-bar spot rather than a special-occasion pick.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy Rice Roll, Red Dragon Roll, A5 Wagyu Ramen

Who should go: Night owls craving legitimate sushi after midnight.
When to visit: Late night (after 1am) when you need real food, not bar snacks.
What to order: The Crispy Rice Roll and Dragon Roll are crowd favorites—if you're hungry, the A5 Wagyu Ramen is substantial and worth the splurge.
