Our Top Pick
Momi Ramen
A tiny, owner-operated Brickell ramen house where noodles are made fresh daily with flour imported from Japan and tonkotsu broth simmers for hours in massive kettles.

Notable Picks

$$$ Brickell Japanese, Asian Fusion
Owner-operated ramen house that commits to a narrow menu—tonkotsu broth simmers for 18 hours, noodles are pulled daily from Japanese-imported flour, and the kitchen seats fewer than 25. Brickell regulars treat it as a late-night anchor, returning for the pork belly char siu and oxtail bowls that consistently rank among the neighborhood's strongest ramen options. The price point runs steep for noodles, but the portion size and broth depth justify repeat visits for those who prioritize craft over convenience.
Must-Try Dishes: Pork Belly Char Siu Ramen, Oxtail Ramen, Chicken Pan Seared Gyoza Dumplings
What Makes it Special: A tiny, owner-operated Brickell ramen house where noodles are made fresh daily with flour imported from Japan and tonkotsu broth simmers for hours in massive kettles.
$$ Brickell Japanese
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.
$$ Brickell Japanese
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.

Worthy Picks

$$$$ Brickell Japanese
A London import that doubles as an art installation—Damien Hirst sculptures, Frank Gehry fish lamps, and a crowd that treats dinner as a runway show. The caramelized black cod and robata-grilled items hold their own, but portions run small for the price, and quality can swing between excellent sushi and forgettable cooked plates. Reviews consistently rate the atmosphere five stars and the food closer to 3.5, which tells you exactly who this place is for. Dress code enforcement is inconsistent enough to frustrate, and table placement can make or break the experience—request the main room or risk being banished to a lesser section.
Must-Try Dishes: Caramelized Black Cod with Spicy Miso, King Crab and Bone Marrow, Crispy Duck Salad
What Makes it Special: A London import with Damien Hirst art and Frank Gehry fish sculptures, where Asian-inspired seafood meets Miami nightlife glamour.
