OMAKAI hand roll bar

Virginia did amazing serving! The rolls were good too and fresh seafood. Will come back! There is valet parking in front of restaurant for $20. Also, they add the tip automatically, so you don't have a choice on how much to tip which I didn't like. I spent $42 dollars on food and tip was $10.

DELICIOUS! Extremely fresh and yummy sushi! We went during happy hour and got $3 beers. Virginia was our server and we loved her so much!

First time at OMAKAI and was a great experience. Virginia was very friendly and Benjamin prepared everything excellent. I tried the Oma Deluxe and happened to come for the happy hour, which also was a great deal, and had the house Prosecco. Overall amazing and will be back regularly.

Tried the omakai experience, and it was excellent. Virginia had excellent recommendations for sake pairing which complemented the perfectly.

I was staying at the InterContinental Bayside and looking for some things to do nearby. It was a very short walk downtown from the hotel and easy to find. I love sushi and have never done an Omakase or hand roll experience. This place was awesome! I have a gluten allergy and they had gf soy sauce and were very knowledgeable on all the ingredients. Service was impeccable. Negi Toro Handroll was amazing I could have eaten like 10 of them! If I'm ever in Miami again I will be eating here again!

Excellent hand rolls, fast service. With several sets to choose from, it is an easy choice, and, of course, you can do a la carte. Delicious and fresh. Excellent choice for lunch or casual dinner.

Virginia & company were EXCELLENT! Amazing service and food. I definitely recommend and will return the next time I’m in town.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the new Omakai hand roll location. My favorites were the albacore and the unagi. The hand rolls themselves were expertly rolled—crispy, with just the right amount of rice, all wrapped around fresh tasty fish, thanks to chef Patrick! Virginia was friendly and attentive. It's rare to find a place where the quality of the food and the overall experience come together so seamlessly. I can't wait to return and try more rolls. Highly recommend this spot!

Omakai consistently delivers and is one of my favorite restaurants in Miami! Today was my first time trying the new hand roll bar in Downtown after stopping in solo for an early dinner, and WOW was I impressed! The space is sophisticated with a long counter, perfect for dining solo or with one other person. All of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable with great recommendations. Now for the food. All of the fish was incredibly fresh, the seaweed perfectly crispy and the rice cooked to perfection. Each roll was better than the next. I chose the Oma Bite and added an Unagi roll. The price for the amount of food is unbeatable. I will 100% be back here for another quick solo dinner or to try some more hand rolls from the chefs great recommendations.

Wow! The sushi here is some of the freshest I've had. It's made to order and served relatively quickly. There are plenty of options, including sashimi for those who enjoy it. If you're unsure what to order, they offer three sets of preset rolls, making the choice easier. The staff members were nice and quick to serve. You sit at a shared counter and get your sushi made to order, adding to the experience. The atmosphere is clean and casual. I'll definitely be back!

I've been to the Brickell location of the handroll bar and it was awesome, so when a friend invited me to check out the downtown location, I was excited to check it out. Compared to the Brickell location, the counter setup is a little more "bar-like" with a much longer stretch of counter seating vs more of a "u" shape, it it seemed like maybe it accommodates more people. We just beat the lunch rush going right before noon and were lucky, since there was a wait after we left. My friends and I all tried the "omakai experience," which was a preset handroll offering that also came with one sashimi dish. My friends and I just have been really hungry because we kept instantly scarfing down each handroll presented to us - I didn't even manage to get a pictures of the handrolls! But that's a good sign. The chefs kept up though and service was very fast but not stressful. I loved how crispy the nori was and the rolls were well-filled. Standouts for me were the scallop, toro-taku, and unagi rolls. Very delicious with reasonable prices - highly recommend.

Three of us came for lunch today & had the Omakai experience for $34. It consisted of 6 hand rolls (yellowtail, scallop, tuna, blue crab, loster & unagi) and salmon sashimi topped with onions. I was thrilled to not have to decide what to eat and was extremely happy that everything was fresh and delicious!! It was well worth the money. We all left very satisfied & I can't wait to come back!

A Streamlined Spot for Affordable and Tasty Hand Rolls The new Omakai Hand Roll Bar recently opened with a concept that is all about focus. This restaurant is entirely counter seating, making it less ideal for large groups but perfect for walk-ins and quick dining. The Menu: The menu is devoted to hand rolls, with a few sashimi options. Custom hand rolls are priced around $7-8 each, but the real value lies in the preset menus, where each hand roll averages about $5. Depending on your appetite, you can easily dine for around $20 with a preset menu or closer to $30 if you go the custom route. This competitive pricing is one of Omakai's key attractions. During our visit, we tried around 7 different hand rolls, including vegan options. While the fish wasn't the freshest or highest quality I've ever had, it was more than good enough for the price. Each roll delivered on flavor and offered a solid variety of options to explore. The Downside: The one issue we encountered was the construction of the hand rolls. They weren't built as sturdily as expected, making them difficult to eat without falling apart. This detracted slightly from the overall experience. Final Thoughts: Omakai Hand Roll Bar is a streamlined spot to enjoy some tasty hand rolls at an affordable price. It's not the place for a long, leisurely meal, but if you're looking for good hand rolls and quick service, it's a great choice. My Criteria: 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 star: This restaurant should be closed.

We love Omakai! fast and casual hand-roll perfect for quick tasty bite! Staff are attentive. Great HH menu. Don't miss
