    OMG. This sushi was delicious. The fish tasted so fresh and the presentation of the rolls was gorgeous. It's definitely on the pricier end but hey, IT IS Miami. Also, the ambience is beautiful. If you sit outside, be prepared for entertainment from Hosteria Romana across the street! Very lively and energetic there.

    Drinks were absolutely refreshing especially in this summer heat wave. Highly recommend the lychee martini and the wasabi martini! Tuna crispy rice was absolutely amazing! We sat outside which was hot but they have fans everywhere for a nice breeze. Very lively restaurant and atmosphere. 100% going back to try more options!

    Great location, nice vibe, good quality food and attentive service. My only issue is automatically added 20% gratuity with a suggestion for another 2,3 or 5%. We always leave the right amount, but it's getting old how some places just stick it to you. Happy hour menu is a good deal.

    Fantastic, fresh sushi with creative, enticing specialty maki rolls. Excellent cocktails; try the Wahakan Old Fashioned for an over the top presentation. Menu has award winning creations like their Ichiban Sando. Sit outside on the hopping Espanola Way, pedestrian friendly and great for people watching.

    Have to admit I was looking forward to to some great sashimi but this place really isn’t that. They seem to specialize in rolls, cocktails and maybe a few of their apps. People at the next table were oohing and aaahing about drinks and dumplings, but I tried the server suggestions of the paper tuna and yellowtail roll and I threw in the tuna negiri fois. In truth that was the only thing that impressed. Rolls were so badly overdressed with sauce that it makes me seriously question the quality of the fish. Felt at best this was overpriced and mediocre.

    The service was fantastic. Food selection was a little small for a full sushi place but everything we ordered was delicious. Wish they had some type of sushi boat or bigger order entrees for more than just one or two people but all around great music, fast and great service with solid food. Definitely recommend.

    The overall experience was great. If I have one critique it was the pour of the drinks. It was a very, very short pour and very disappointing compared to the value I felt from the rest of the meal. Restaurants have to realize that they will take in much more revenue in alcohol when people perceive value. My party doesn't worry about spending money, but we decided to probably have 2 drinks less each (about $200 worth) because we felt ripped off. And because of that, we probably would not go back. Another 4 ounces for the table and the review would be totally different.
