Master Critic Review
Hiden
8.5
Miami's Michelin-starred eight-seat counter hidden behind a taco stand offers Edomae-style sushi with fish flown from Japan multiple times weekly. The passcode-protected entrance and months-long waitlist create genuine exclusivity, though recent chef turnover has introduced variability that affects an omakase format dependent on consistency. At $300 per person, expect flawless execution on most visits with occasional unevenness.
