El Secreto Omakase

Brilliant dining experience! Loved ever single course. Very special, definitely a must try.

Truly outstanding experience in Miami. Fantastic fusion of traditional Japanese with Latin flavors. Excellent service. And super exclusive and intimate setting. Thank you Chef Eric!

Highly recommend dining at the very new and very wonderful El Secreto- an Omakase experience to relish and remember! With only 6 seats, this secret hideaway delivers an intimate 15 course culinary journey, guided by the perfect host- Chef Reiji. This is one not to miss, whether staying at the Faena hotel, or stopping by!

Amazing! Delicious, modern interpretations of traditional dishes. Easily the best omakase option in Miami. Chef and his assistant were fun and entertaining. Book a reservation ASAP. Bonus bite was the best!

Erik and Carlos were absolutely fantastic!! Such a special experience and so so beautiful and delicious

We've been to El Secreto 5x over a few years and each time it is simply spectacular in every way. Chef Eric and Chef Carlos are exceptional chef's and human beings. It's so fun to chat with them in such a personal/intimate setting while they prepare each dish and to hear them explain the details of each course. Simply spectacular - highly recommend and we cannot wait to be back again for another omakase.

Best Omakase in Miami. You can taste the difference in the first course. An unforgettable mix of flavors and the perfect amount of food. Highly recommend enjoying the experience with a group of 6 people. Can’t wait to go back.

Cloistered away in the Faena hotel , this was absolutely ridiculous. The food was some of the best I have ever had, the price was otherworldly ( pre-paid so no surprise). Great sake options , the best (IMHO) was actually a $100/bottle , and they had options up to almost $2k/bottle. Service was very friendly and engaging. The Faena restaurant options are so on point and so Miami !!

Mixed opinions on this omakase restaurant. I'll start with, I really enjoyed the small, intimate atmosphere (only 6 seats available at the bar). I loved watching the chefs cook, as well as having conversations with them over dinner. The dinner itself had good and bad parts. I thought all of the sushi and the wagyu tasted fresh and was well-seasoned. My favorite of the fish was the fatty tuna, the sea urchin, and the bluefin tuna. The flavors were definitely a blend of Japanese and Spanish (several of the sushi rolls and soup had a spicy kick to them). The entire dinner felt VERY rushed, we had to eat each piece at record speed, to make room for the next. I did not enjoy this part at all. Also, this place is very, very overpriced, for both the experience and quality of the food. My partner also noted that he did not like that all of the fish was pre-cut before the dinner (probably contributed to them moving at warp speed during service too).

Amazing experience. Chefs were so professional and knowledgeable of the food they were serving. Very intimate and perfect for a special date night

Very intimate 4 seat omakase in the Faena hotel. It was nice to have quality sushi in a quiet setting. Es h piece was really unique and fresh. The two sushi chefs were very friendly and explained how they topped each piece!

great restsurant the food was amazing the service was extremely good definitely recomend

I wanted to love El Secreto. Considering its price is up there with Nossa, Hiden, and The Den, I was expecting similar quality. El Secreto is Japanese fusion, but the fusion part was where I got lost. Each bite of sushi was doused in a generous amount of lemon. I am here for acidity, but when all I can taste is lemon, and not the delicate flavors of the fish, it's problematic. It wasn't the worst experience, but it was not for me.

The fish was excellent quality, but none of the varieties were that unusual. The rice was amazing and the fish was cut well, the toppings were for the most part well balanced and it was an excellent omakase, however I left hungry, and overall the meal was overpriced, but I guess people are paying for the experience more so than the meal itself. I could have gone to Wabi Sabi and spent half as much, had a bottle of sake as well, and the experience would have been just as good if not better.
