"Most folks in Miami hear the word “omakase” and assume sushi. And while there is a nigiri section of Naoe’s menu (which might make you cry a happy tear), Naoe is so much more than sushi. It’s three quiet hours of the most fine-tuned Japanese cooking in Miami. Dishes at this $280 per person omakase are constantly rotating based on seasonality, but you’re bound to encounter a mix of local vegetables alongside rare (for Miami) seafood like braised sazae, milt, and chunks of cured mullet roe. Naoe has been doing this longer than Miami's new wave of omakases. And it's still the best, most unique option." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
