Kraken Crudo

I was more than surprised today by my visit to this joint. How many sushi fusion places can you find in Miami? A whole lot but not all serve food this delicious. honestly didn't come here with high expectation despite the positive feedback and good reviews because I just went with appearance of food and that's a mistake. My taste buds went bananas today after trying this amazing food. As soon as I walked in the one and only waitress was very friendly as well as the chef behind the counter doing the magic, sort of speak. The place is not very small, just a few tables but it was a Tuesday afternoon so l imagine it might get hectic on the weekends. Let's talk food, shall we? First of they have a menu written on wall with chalk for the "create yourself rice bowl" with the ingredients and then you place the order when ready. I specifically went there for the Tuna and Truffle sushi roll and my goodness this is, not exaggerating, one of the tastiest, most delicious sushi rolls l've ever tasted in my life. I believe that the secret ingredient, or not so hidden, is the truffle and honey sauce they top this roll with. Fresh raw tuna, rice, Avocado, crab salad, steamed shrimp, goat cheese, aji amarillo and "that" sauce make this a roll to die for even though you've probably have tried a tuna roll somewhere, but trust me, not with this flavor. One of the things that is a bonus for me is the presentation as you can appreciate in one of the photos posted. Now let's talk about this dessert: hands down, one of the best desserts to have ever landed in my mouth. The Yuzu coco panacota is not, at all, your typical panacota. The panacota itself was amazing, creamy and not too sweet but these coconut flakes, guava jam and the lemony tiny little eggs on top make this an burst of flavors in your mouth considering it's just a dessert. People when you visit this place, I insist, save room for this dessert. They also have an Oreo dessert that apparently have run out over the weekend because of how popular and I assume, delicious it is. I will be having that one for my next visit which has to be soon because I know my wife would go bananas with both the sushi and the desserts here. The place is hard to see if you're driving too fast on NE 2 Ave but it's just before 36 ST and next to 305 Brews which is not hard to miss.

When the Heat Game is playing; take out it is! Love this place but the quality deteriorated when it’s take out. Which happens with pretty much every restaurant it doesn’t taste the same. Make sure you go to their restaurant to try it because it’s amazing. Only reason why I dropped a star is because my appetizer Salmon Belly Crudo came with the skin still on. Major disappointment!

What a delight! The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. They were attentive and responsive to my food allergies knowing exactly how to modify for them. It was very fast and gorgeous looking too. Edit: Came back the next night with others and it was just as good. Added more pictures from the second meal. The Kraken Crudo was true to its name and was amazing!!

Very nice and cozy Gem an busy city life of Downtown Miami. And amazing enough all workers are young people cooking so well and providing great service. What surprised me was a goat cheese sushi with truffle. Everything was so yummy and fresh, so I was amazed with quality and time it took them to prepare so quickly. Nice place for a byte. I would only add more parking and have nicer sitting area outside. The rest was fantastic with affordable pricing and happy hour menu.

Fresh and quality cuts! Excellent sushi. Nice selection and creativity with the menu. I wish the service were a bit faster, but one man can only do so much — and he is great, friendly, and kind. My favorite was the tuna & truffle, but others are great too. The prices are a bit too high IMO, but this inflation doesn’t help too. I will be back!
