"One of Miami’s best omakase experiences can be found inside a food hall in the Miami Design District. Sushi Yasu Tanaka, from sushi chef Yasu Tanaka, who formerly led the Den at Azabu, offers a pristine, nigiri-focused menu. But the real star is the $59, 10-course omakase option, which is easily one of the best omakase deals in town." - Olee Fowler
"An incredible sushi bar located in the Miami Design District food court." - Edward Barsamian
"Like its original Design District location, this spot is also a great place for fancy sushi with zero dress code or need for a reservation. Yasu Tanaka shares its space with Cotoa and a couple of other concepts (they’re calling it a “chef’s collective”) but you can walk right in and order directly at Yasu Tanaka’s counter. Takeout is an option, but there are also plenty of tables to sit and eat. They sell nigiri by the piece, but the best options are the omakase platters. If you’re in one of those moods to spend a little too much money on lunch, the $30 six-piece combo is a great way to hide from your coworkers for an hour. Add a hand roll to your order if you're willing to spend an extra $12." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"One of the best sushi restaurants in Miami now has a second location in Downtown. Sushi Yasu Tanaka’s new location will operate in the same building as Cotoa. Like its Design District location, it serves a $59 omakase platter, as well as a la carte nigiri and sashimi." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Sushi Yasu Tanaka is a Design District food hall vendor run by a chef who used to work at one of Miami's most expensive omakase spots, and that will make sense when you taste the fish here. It's the kind of nigiri that practically evaporates in your mouth. It's not a cheap meal (the 8-piece platter is $40 and the 10-piece omakase is $59)—but it's still our favorite under $100 omakase option in town. And one of the best reasons to set your Slack status to something cryptic and take a long lunch break on Friday." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
