Yamashiro Miami

We went to dinner yesterday with a group of friends to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and the experience was excellent. The restaurant’s atmosphere is spectacular! very beautiful, cozy, and with an energy that makes you want to stay longer and enjoy the night. The food was very good, but what truly made the difference was the service. Our waiter was incredibly attentive throughout the entire dinner. He was always checking on the table, recommending dishes, and making sure everything was perfect. I don’t remember his name, but he was a Colombian guy with several tattoos on his arms and one with Japanese lettering on his chest. He was super kind, professional, and very friendly. You can really tell when someone enjoys their job and makes the whole experience even better. Next time we come back, we would definitely love to sit in his section again. If the restaurant reads this, we’d love to know his name so we can ask for him next time! We will definitely be back. ✨🍣

Amazing experience! The food was absolutely exceptional. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What truly stood out was the service. Our waiter Gg was attentive, friendly, and professional, and made the entire dining experience even better. Everything from start to finish was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

Yamashiro, one of the best experiences I have had in my life. The food is out of this world, the atmosphere is incredible and the service has no comparison, Luilbert, our server was absolutely wonderful; he gave absolutely brilliant suggestions and his attitude just made the night completely perfect. Make your reservations because it is totally worth the wait. Easiest 10/10 ive ever given!

It was the best experience I have had in a long time. The place is beautiful and warm, with a very welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent; Britt assisted us and was exceptionally kind and attentive. Additionally, Manager Sescily Connell ensured that our experience was truly outstanding, Both the beverages and every dish, including the desserts, were delicious. Highly recommended.

This is my first time eating here, and I just want to say how amazing everything is! From the service, to the atmosphere and all of the food & drinks! I sat at the bar and enjoyed a few cocktails, 2 appetizers, a dish and a roll. Iggy was my bartender, and gave me 5 star service. Sofia and Jonathan were the other bartenders on duty that were so helpful and friendly as well! I will definitely be back with friends!

Great restaurant in downtown, I was expecting the quality and the great food. The bone marrow was delicious and the Sandi was the best definitely worth it.

Great ambiance. Service was phenomenal. Best dish is the black sesame flan and the umami salted bone marrow. Thank you Sebastian and Luis S. for making my birthday dinner special. The team was great!

Such an amazing dining experience. The sushi/sashimi quality was unreal — the otoro, chutoro, and akami were all super fresh and literally melt-in-your-mouth. The A5 wagyu was also incredible and tasted so rich and buttery. The drinks were delicious too… I definitely ordered way too many because everything sounded so good! Side note The matcha Martini was not tasty for me 🤣 It was quite busy, and even with a reservation there was still a wait for our table, but we got lucky and were able to grab bar seats while we waited. The atmosphere is beautiful and feels upscale — there’s even a koi pond, plus a really nice outdoor view throughout the restaurant. It’s a little hard to find since it’s on the 9th floor of the hotel/residences, but totally worth it once you get there. Perfect spot for a date night or special meal. Highly recommend!

The architecture and interior design is phenomenal. The drinks are immaculate, the food was delicious. The service very attentive (thanks Britney!) - and they deserve a raise. It will take some time and is overpriced for the amount of food served. Set your expectations accordingly and prepare for a truly incredible experience. It really is such a vibe for a rooftop restaurant in Miami that leans hardcore into its Japanese cuisine and aesthetic. I particuarly recommend the Fortune Teller and the Matcha Martini cocktails and Truffle Edamame and Duroc Pork Gyoza.

Yamashiro in downtown Miami had a really good vibe. Just make reservations in advance. It's inside a hotel on the 9th floor, so you'll either valet ($22) or get dropped off by Uber/Lyft out front. The restaurant is great for private date night, a double date, or even a night out with friends. The staff were on point, Britney took care of us (party of 4) and she was amazing. It was extremely clean, from the tables to the seats to the bathrooms. Definitely an upscale spot. They had a live DJ who knew how to keep the vibe flowing nicely for a Friday night. The only downside for me were the drinks. Their specialty cocktails are premade and they could not make any adjustments. For example, I couldn't switch the brand of vodka or request light syrup, which was disappointing. So I went with a simple vodka soda and a splash of juice. It was fine, but nothing memorable. I really wish they allowed liquor or light ingredient swaps for their specialty drinks. Food-wise, though, everything was great: - Garden Salad = 5 stars! (Very fresh and the dressing was delicious). - Gyoza Wagyu = 5 stars! (perfectly pan-seared, tomato-based, very flavorful) - Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice = 4 stars. (The rice had a nice crunch and the tuna was good, but nothing to set it apart from other tuna on crispy rice dishes I have had.) - Rock Shrimp Tempura = 5 stars! (The tempura was crunchy and shrimp was nicely seasoned) - Wagyu Skewers = 4 stars. (Pieces of meat on a stick, the seasoning was good, the meat was cooked medium and not dry at all.) - Saikyo Miso Salmon = 5 stars! (Wow! perfectly cooked, very soft, and the skin was crispy.) Cauliflower = 4 Stars. (It was a good vegetable side nothing crazy in terms of flavor, the green goddess sauce was good but nothing incredible.) - Miso Butter Corn = 4 Stars. (I did not try this one but my husband, and our sister/brother in law said that it had good flavor but awkward to eat because of the ribbed cut. I'd prefer to see brussels sprouts on the menu instead.) - Crispy Kale & Shiso = 5 Stars! (I also did not try this vegetable side but my sister in law and brother in law enjoyed the kale side.) - Yamashiro Roll = 5 stars! (My husband loved this roll and would get it again. I did not get a photo.) Yamashiro was definitely pricey for four people who ordered two drinks each, but that's expected in Miami. Not a place we'd go all the time, but we're glad we experienced it. Giving it a 4.3 star rating Wishing Yamashiro Miami continued success!

I sat at the bar for dinner, which was really nice. It filled up pretty quickly. The cocktails we ordered were all really good, super well-made and different from the usual stuff which was nice. If you want a table though, you definitely need a reservation because the dining room was packed. The vibe overall was really nice and felt elevated without trying too hard. The dining room is honestly so pretty, and the view of downtown is so nice. It's a great rooftop spot whether you're going for dinner or just drinks. We ordered the ceviche, spicy tuna crispy rice, wagyu gyoza, Yamashiro roll, truffle yellowtail roll, and spicy crab roll. My favorites were the wagyu gyoza and the truffle yellowtail roll, but everything was genuinely good, it was actually hard to pick a top two. Overall, amazing vibe, great drinks, really good food. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant is beautiful: situated on a rooftop in downtown Miami, skyline views, lush greens and sculptures to decorate. The staff was attentive and friendly - they even offered us blankets because it was a windy night. We ordered the Yamashiro Roll, the A5 wagyu/lobster roll, the spicy tuna crispy rice, and the crab dumplings. Great music playing also. I recommend coming here for intimate dinner or date night!

I was so excited to stop by this location. I am a regular at the Yamashiro Hollywood and this location treated me very poorly. I wasn't underdressed as my shoes were a thousand dollars and my top was $300, I was dressed stylish but they let me know it's not up to par. I will not be going to this location, I do not recommend the location as the staff treated me very poorly on opening night and really left a sour taste in my mouth. I was so excited for this restaurant but sadly will not be visiting any more. 0/5 stars if I could

Last night I had the pleasure of dining at this new restaurant and we were blown away by the beautiful decor and ambiance, delicious food and impeccable service. Our server Alejandro was excellent and the manager Sebastian came by our table several times throughout the meal to ensure our experience was perfect. I highly recommend the wagyu sandos and their take on the chocolate tiramisu. We will be back soon!

We went there for my birthday and we loved it! The restaurant's ambience was so inviting and upscale, food was very interesting and delicious, and drinks were pretty! We loved crispy rice spicy tuna- very crispy, and rock shrimps were great which made us order rock shrimp roll( my favorite)! Drinks were a little strange- fortune teller was very specific, i was expecting more whisky flavor, but it tasted more sour. The restaurant is very beautiful, love it that it's outside but feels like you are in Japanese garden! We will be back!!!

Loved Yamashiro in LA and was so excited to see it open in Miami. Dinner was great, and our server Cammie was amazing! She served my family and I and was attentive and quick. She was also really sweet and witty, it made the experience even better: Atmosphere was great and was recommended the Bavette. It was so good!! Will be back!

I was so excited to try the Miami location but it was a huge disappointment. Food and service sucked. We were going to order apps and sushi separately so we could pace our meal but the waitress had us put everything in together and promised it would be paced. Of course it wasn't. We got hot apps first, half the sushi, cold apps and then the rest of the sushi. In terms of food: the gyoza and the sashimi was good. The rest was horrible. We got a rice pot with overcooked half mush half burnt rice. The rolls were disgusting they were chewy and tasted like they had been left out. Drinks: matcha martini and Negroni were okay. We got the martinis with cart service ($40 each!! But the show seemed fun)) and we literally just got a half empty martini brought by a waiter, no show.

Soooo excited they finally opened a Yamashiro in Miami. I moved here from LA and missed going. The food was amazing and the restaurant was designed so beautifully. The staff was really nice, my server Cammie was great. I'll definitely be back again soon!

Our family came here for dinner and we had a great time. Really enjoyed all the food, drinks, music, ambiance, and our server Cami was awesome. There overall experience didn't miss a beat.
