An authentic Izakaya experience has landed in the heart of Downtown Miami.
Ryo Sushi crafts playful combinations that define their signature rolls. This cozy corner spot is perfect for gathering with friends over drinks, starting with crispy pork gyozas dipped in sweet or spicy sauce, an ideal warm-up for the sushi feast ahead.
The lineup includes the Salmon California Maki (salmon, cucumber, avocado), Spicy Tuna Maki (spicy tuna, cucumber, spicy mayo--hot, addictive), and K-Dragon Maki (ebi tempura, cucumber, scallion, cream cheese, avocado, spicy mayo, eel sauce). The K-Dragon is literally blowing fire of satisfaction.
From the deluxe selection, the Ryo Maki (ebi tempura, spicy tuna, cucumber, tuna on top, yuzu aioli, togarashi) delivers a balanced kick, while the Torched Salmon (ginger soy, yuzu aioli, truffle oil, scallions, crispy onion) melts with tangy, smoky depth. The Tuna Tartare Maki mixes ebi tempura and avocado in an Asian-tropical dream excelled with eel sauce and furikake to make it completely irresistible.
Even the salmon sashimi, often too simple for my taste, impressed with its freshness and clean flavor.
Though tucked in a busy downtown corner, the space feels warm and inviting, thanks to Florencia's exceptional service, she leads the place with the grace of a Japanese Kōgō (Empress).
And surprisingly for now Miami standards, you will still find it affordable for the proportions of the rolls.
Arigatō, Ryo Sushi, for bringing one of the best interpretations of sushi rolls to Miami.
