3 hand-picked restaurants, critic-reviewed and ranked
Last Updated: February 2026
Our Top Pick
Tokyo Tuna Sushi
A 25-year Miami institution serving daily-flown fresh fish in a vibrant, Instagram-worthy space with faux cherry blossom trees and colorful decor that stands out in the Brickell dining scene.
Notable Picks
8.1
A decade-plus Brickell fixture co-owned by Sean Raee, who's made multiple trips to Tokyo chasing authenticity—and it shows in the daily-flown fish and layered flavor profiles on rolls like the Hamachi Supreme. The space delivers on the Instagram-friendly promise with faux cherry blossoms and a vibrant terrace that pulls in the happy hour crowd for genuinely solid deals (70-piece platters under $100 is real). Service gets consistently name-checked as warm and attentive, though kitchen execution runs hot and cold based on recent feedback—some visits land perfectly, others feel rushed. Best for groups who want festive energy and respectable-not-transcendent sushi in a neighborhood drowning in overpriced mediocrity.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hamachi Supreme Roll, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Himachi Crudo
What Makes it Special: A 25-year Miami institution serving daily-flown fresh fish in a vibrant, Instagram-worthy space with faux cherry blossom trees and colorful decor that stands out in the Brickell dining scene.
8
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
What Makes it Special: One of Brickell's only quality sushi spots open until 5AM, offering A5 wagyu ramen and creative rolls at accessible prices.

Girls Night Out Approved
David Grutman's three-story Brickell spectacle grosses $41 million annually—the top-earning restaurant in America according to Restaurant Business—and those numbers tell you exactly what you're walking into: a see-and-be-seen celebration factory where the floating bird's nest seating and Instagram moments matter as much as the food. The Peking Duck and Lobster Dynamite are legitimately good, but reviews consistently note that service struggles to keep pace with the crowds and reservations don't always mean much. Expect bottle service energy, steep prices ($115 average check), and a fashionable crowd dressed for the moment. This is where you go for birthday spectacle or impressing out-of-towners who want the full Miami experience—not for a quiet Tuesday dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Half Peking Duck, Lobster Dynamite, Miso Chilean Seabass
What Makes it Special: A three-story indoor/outdoor spectacle with floating bird's nest seating that's become Miami's ultimate see-and-be-seen celebration destination.
