Chef Takashi Terashima—formerly of the Aman Group and various Michelin-starred kitchens—runs this unassuming marketplace counter where $27 gets you a kaisen don with fish flown in multiple times weekly from Japan. The space is stripped-down casual, but the knife work and sourcing rival spots charging three times as much. For the full experience, call ahead for the $175 omakase served to one party at a time; the 17-course spread lets Terashima flex without distraction. Closed Sundays, and the texting-based reservation system for omakase requires patience—worth it for serious sushi eaters who care about fish quality over scenery.
Must-Try Dishes:
Kaisen Don, Otoro-Ikura Hand Roll, Salmon Ikura Bowl
What Makes it Special: Chef Takashi Terashima brings Michelin-star precision to a casual marketplace setting, with seasonal fish flown directly from Japan multiple times weekly.

Chef Yu opened the original 107 Taste in 2016 on 107th Ave after earning her hospitality master's from FIU, expanding to this Brickell location with a pan-Asian menu spanning Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Chinese staples—all built on house-made sauces. The pad thai draws connoisseur-level praise, and the takoyaki and tonkotsu ramen deliver solid execution at neighborhood-friendly prices. Generous portions keep the value equation honest, though service can lag when the room fills and an 18% gratuity kicks in for groups. A practical everyday option that over-delivers on quality for its price bracket.
Must-Try Dishes:
Takoyaki, Pad Thai, Korean Kimchi Ramen
What Makes it Special: An Asian women-owned Pan-Asian spot with house-made sauces, sustainable practices, and Miami's most praised pad thai at neighborhood prices.

A Brooklyn-born concept inspired by Sydney's Bondi Beach, this spot does clean-cut fish in a casual counter setting with Japanese brunch items—fluffy pancakes with matcha, wagyu benedict on milk bread—that differentiate it from the neighborhood's omakase and izakaya options. The happy hour reportedly ranks among Brickell's best for hand rolls and nigiri at reduced prices. With only 28 reviews on the major platforms, it's still building its track record, and the brunch-forward identity may confuse diners expecting a traditional sushi experience. Drop in for pancakes and a spicy tuna crispy rice when you want something lighter than the scene-heavy alternatives.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fluffy Japanese Pancakes, Wagyu Benedict, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice
What Makes it Special: A Brooklyn-born sushi chain bringing Japanese brunch culture to Brickell with matcha-topped pancakes and wagyu on milk bread alongside solid hand rolls.
