Japanese fare with global twists like sushi burritos
"If you want to liven up your usual Monday night plans of Catan with your four-person friend group, go to Yoso Sushi. Every other Monday, they throw a handroll party and stuff a DJ inside the teeny dining room. The party really sprouts its wings around 8pm. That’s when the space gets stuffed (not unlike a handroll) with people knocking back sake and hokkaido scallops like it’s Friday night and you don’t need to present a colorful budget pie chart tomorrow. Check their Instagram for handroll Monday updates." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Sushi nights with friends can get expensive, but Yoso is a reasonably-priced sushi spot that does not feel too fancy (or expensive) for a Tuesday. Just know that this place is tiny, so don’t roll up here with the entire starting lineup of your recreational kickball league. Pick one or two people to split nigiri, sake, and a couple of slices of excellent matcha Basque cheesecake. And prepare to become friends with the chefs. They’re just as lovely and funny as your friends." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Yoso makes the kind of reasonably priced sushi Miami needs more of. The business used to operate out of a food truck in the Design District, but it’s traded in its wheels for a baby blue six-seat counter in the back corner of Upper Buena Vista. Order a platter to get the best of the nigiri, which is delicately scored and often topped with housemade yuzu kosho we'd steal by the bucket. Yoso's combination for two ($60) or four ($150) comes with a crisp miso salad, salmon tataki, nigiri, and a maki roll. But if you're looking for a quick lunch or an easy Tuesday dinner, their poke, tempura, and katsu bowls are all reliable, too. Sit inside for sake and a conversation with the funny chefs, who might share stories from their days working in even smaller spaces." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"An omakase featuring 10 pieces of nigiri and more This intimate sushi counter is a great option if you hate crowds" - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

Food Rundown Chicken Katsu Bowl The chicken thigh is incredibly crunchy, but what makes this such a perfect solo lunch or dinner is the portion size. Rice, cucumber, corn, edamame, and fanned-out slices of avocado are all diligently working together to ensure you leave very full for an even $20. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Spicy Yellowtail Roll A not-too-sweet passion fruit dressing is the subtle yet catchy accessory that makes this roll elicit the good kind of tiny eyebrow raise. Chirashi Roll This roll gives you a bit of tuna, salmon, and kampachi in one bite. Plus, it wears a singular dot of ikura like a little fedora, which is cute and delicious. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Chef's Selection Of Six Nigiri The chef’s selection of nigiri also comes in an order of twelve, if you’re trying to split this with someone. But both include a lovely showcase of Yoso’s sushi. The nigiri tend to be topped with a restrained enhancements, like togarashi, ikura, or yuzukosho mayo, none of which hide the quality of fish on display here. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Burnt Matcha Cheesecake Even in Miami’s bloated Basque cheesecake economy, this version makes us excited. The matcha flavor is subtle and the center is gooey—but not so runny that it looks like they put it in the oven for three milliseconds. Last time we were here, they said they were experimenting with a yuzu version. We’d eat that too. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc" - Ryan Pfeffer
