Shibui Japanese Restaurant

"Those looking for their sushi fix in the ‘burbs will find the answer at Shibui. The Japanese restaurant serves a huge variety of fresh sushi, sashimi, and rolls that have been a hit for more than 40 years, complete with tatami seating on the floor." - Olee Fowler, Missy Frederick

"Shibui is a Japanese restaurant that has been in the same spot off Sunset Drive since the '80s. Before words like omakase and izakaya were part of Miami’s food vocabulary, this was one of the few places in this part of Dade County that offered traditional dishes like sukiyaki, beef tataki, age dashi tofu, and oshitashi—all of which are still very good here. It’s housed in a retro two-story loft that gives very late ‘70s vibes in the best way possible. Ask to sit up in the loft, but make a reservation because the coveted low tables on the second floor require one. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"Kendall’s Shibui has been cooking Japanese food for Miami since back when a lot of the county thought “omakase” was a local DJ. Not much has changed in the nearly 40 years it’s been open, especially the perfectly cozy second-floor dining space, which features low tables that require you to sit on the ground. Definitely ask for a seat up there (call and make a reservation to guarantee you get one) and don't feel awkward when your legs get tangled up under the table. There is a little bit of everything on the menu, including Japanese-American favorites, like teriyaki and California rolls, and harder-to-find specialties, like beef tataki, natto, and a sukiyaki that’s big enough for four people to share." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
