B-Side Miami Design District

"B-Side is a sushi spot from the team behind Maty’s, the best Peruvian restaurant in Miami. While there are a few Peruvian dishes on the menu (like the incredible scallop and octopus bañaditos), B-Side is more of a casual place to grab some very good rolls. This is not subtle sushi. The rolls are packed with lots of sauces and ingredients—but it works beautifully and never tastes overwhelming. There's also a Wynwood location inside 1-800-Lucky. But the Design District location has a bigger menu (and space). It’s also a great walk-in option, so keep it in mind next time you want very good sushi without a reservation. " - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo, Mariana Trabanino

"B-Side has taken over the space of its former sister restaurant, Itamae. It’s serving a bigger menu than its Wynwood location, with rolls, bañaditos, and some excellent conch fritters. We’ve already added it to our Hit List." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo

"B-Side is a Design District sushi spot from the team behind Maty’s, and it’s in the space where its former sister restaurant, Itamae, used to be. There are a couple menu items leftover from Itamae (like the incredible scallop and octopus bañaditos), but B-Side is less a special occasion spot, and more of a casual place to grab some very good sushi rolls. This is not subtle sushi. The rolls are packed with lots of sauces and ingredients—but it works beautifully and never tastes overwhelming. There are delicious cooked small plates like conch fritters and chicken karaage too. It’s one of the Design District’s only walk-in options, so keep it in mind next time you want very good sushi without a reservation. " - Ryan Pfeffer

"The third (and latest) from the Chang family, this fast-casual Nikkei sushi counter — already present in 1-800-LUCKY food hall and Kaseya Center — replacing its more upscale sister restaurant, Itamae. Siblings Nando and Val Chang, along with their father Fernando Chang, have won discerning hearts and palates with their creativity and unique use of flavors showcased in dishes like the Lost In Translation Roll (salmon, tuna, tobiko, crispy quinoa, and aji Camarillo) and Thirty-Three + A Third Roll (crispy white fish, avocado, smoked fish and acechado sauce)." - Alona Martinez
