Japón at The Setai

I had a wonderful time at Japón last night! After seeing some negative reviews I was a little worried as I can be picky. The team did a wonderful job at giving us a great meal! The food came out in perfect timing, the raw fish dishes were high quality. The miso cod was cooked perfectly. They even brought us an off menu dish my friend requested. ❤️ We were treated like guests in a home and didn’t have to ask a waiter for assistance as they were checking on us right when we needed something. I want to give my biggest thanks to Alberto who was making sure everything ran smoothly for our group. He was once of the best service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Thanks so much Japón team!

I came here 2/9/25 the ambience is breath taking. We had the king crab maki roll, shrimp tempura and the filet mignon skewers. Saigon gimlet and prickly pear margarita. We are from Chicago and this has been the best sushi we've ever had. Nice size rolls and freshly made. Our waiter was very kind and generous. This place will be a staple when we come back everytime.

We had an amazing dinner at Japón! The ambiance is incredible starting with the beautifully designed entrance to the restaurant and leading into exotic courtyard where the show takes place. The food was exquisite! The miso black cod lettuce wraps and tuna crispy rice were so good we had to order seconds! Also recommend the hamachi serrano because the hamachi was so fresh and delicate it melted when you ate it. We also ordered multiple rounds of nigiri and the toro was out of this world. Don’t sleep on the chicken skewers either they were amazing. To finish off entrees, we had the king crab and wagyu striploin along with the truffle hotpot, so many flavors and all were delicious! The matcha creme brulee and opera desserts were our sweet treat to finish the evening. The menu is not large but every dish was made perfectly and delivered in flavor! The service provided at Japón is second to none with constant refreshment of drinks, fresh plates, and keeping the table spotless in between dishes. From the hostess to the manager, everyone at Japón makes you feel right at home and are making sure your experience is excellent at every opportunity. We will definitely be back!

This place is amazing. King crab sushi plate was my favorite. The atmosphere and music gets you a lot of energy. The cocktails are really good taste and nice decor…🍸the show was really short but kind of good!

Loved everything from the environment to the music, to of course the food and service. We tried many dishes and loved them all. The whiskey drink with santori sour was amazing. Must go!

My husband and I had dinner here. I am Japanese and moved to Miami 12 years ago. I don't miss anything from my country except food and tranquility. I have lived in France and London, visited few restaurants in many places but here Japón is my favorite and I would say this is most authentic and also I prefer meal here more than Japan to be honest. We tried most of the recommendations, and all meals everything everybite were amazing. Their Sake selection is marvelous. Our server Anthonio (Sorry if I misspelled) and Jewel was spectacular. Even managers came stop by for checking on us for making sure we have everything we need. Japón reminded me something my country sadly started forget about "Service with heart". On top of those experiences, the entertaining was breathtaking. Japón The Setai is the place true paradise. It's oasis of happiness convination all the best of Asian culture and Miami. We can't wait to go back to experience other restaurants Jaya and Ocean Grill. The day we visited Setai was life changing. It gave us motivation that in some day, we want to be successful as much as we can experience everything of this magnificent property, and would love to bring all our friends and family to this place. This place truly makes you feel you are special and important. Thank you so much The Setai Japón for your hospitality from your heart. See you soon!

We had a very nice Christmas dinner here. The specials were all delicious. The standard menu items were also quite good. The toro sashimi in particular was outstanding.

I had the opportunity to eat here inside of the beautiful Setai during art Basel weekend. First when you walk in the ambiance is just amazing. It is very aesthetically pleasing. We had the first reservations of the night at 6pm. We were greeted and seated promptly. For the food I had the shrimp tempura sushi. And the salmon dish. The food was amazing. This is a spot you for sure have to visit when you are in town

For years we been big fans of Jaya restaurant in Setai hotel. This time we decided to try Japon. What a disappointment from the beginning to the end. Hostess didn't knew what they are doing. They were rude! Waiter also he looked like he was not happy to be there. Food was just awful. I ordered Chilean sea bass. Was not fresh, fishy flavor. This place supposed to have some amazing chef. In the plate was peace of fish, some shredded purple onion and two leaves. How can you enjoy eat just fish with 5 strings raw onion! Unbelievable! I returned back. Ordered California sushi roll. Most basic sushi. In my opinion in some random Chinese buffet it tastes better.The only positive was vine person. He was kind and friendly. We will never step foot on that side in Setai, Japon restaurant is just awful!
