"This 14-seat Gables counter—constructed out of the smoothest wood you’ve ever touched—is a great choice for a person’s first expensive omakase. The two-and-a-half-hour meal is a delicious demonstration of the reasons one pays $275 for sushi. The 17 courses are a seasonal mix of mostly nigiri. The meal always includes a trio of tuna moments that will ensure you never look at a fish’s belly the same way again. But Shingo also does enough to impress an omakase veteran, particularly one looking for a more traditional meal that doesn’t lean too heavily on blowtorches and gimmicky flavors." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"This 14-seat Gables counter—constructed out of the smoothest wood you’ve ever touched—is a great choice for a person’s first expensive omakase. It delivers all the flawless tuna moments you'd expect from a traditional sushi omakase—with a few creative flourishes too, like unagi topped with a heaping scoop of caviar. But Shingo’s 17 fantastic courses also do enough to impress an omakase veteran, particularly one looking for a nigiri-heavy meal that doesn’t lean too heavily on blowtorches and gimmicky flavors." - ryan pfeffer

"Acclaimed chef Shingo Akikuni creates a nightly symphony of flavors at Shingo, in Coral Gables’ historic La Palma building. The 14-seat omakase restaurant serves an 18-course menu featuring traditional Japanese nigiri, seasonal sashimi, and Yakimono dishes, complemented by premium sake. The omakase costs $225 per person, excluding tax and gratuity, with optional wine and sake pairings. The restaurant earned a Michelin star for its high-quality offerings. Note: Certain restrictions such as gluten-free, soy-free, vegetarian, or vegan can not be accommodated." - Laine Doss
"Chef Shingo Akikuni, ever gracious and welcoming, has returned, now back in action behind a spacious, 14-seat counter in Coral Gables. Chef Akikuni and his second-in-command handle the crowd without breaking a sweat and even switch sides midway through the meal. Fish is sourced almost entirely from Japan, sliced in uniform fashion, and, dressed with little more than a swipe of nikiri. They keep a close eye on the seasons too." - The MICHELIN Guide
