My partner and I had such a wonderful experience here. The food was incredible & we so appreciated the service. Manny was our waiter and he walked us through the menu and advised us based on our tastes and desires to such a spectacular degree. We went right at 5, when they open, and received really intimate and personal attention from the staff. Manny made what we anticipated to be an intimidating experience feel so comfortable and relaxed. The prices were high but for good reason. Each dish was made with so much love and care. This was a meal I’ll be thinking about for a really long time. They did NOT pressure us into making a review but I feel compelled to based on what a wonderful time we had.
This was the best meal I’ve had in Miami!
The space is super intimate and authentic, and the staff we so kind and welcoming.
The food is really wild, like amazing.
Every dish is exciting and unexpected and you feel surprised with every bite. It was really a privilege to eat here!

A Gastronomic Delight at Itamae - Unmissable!
Itamae, a captivating culinary gem in the heart of Miami, provided an unrivaled Peruvian-Japanese dining experience that my wife and I won't soon forget. Every item on their meticulously crafted menu left us in awe, making it one of those rare establishments where you're tempted to order everything in sight.
From the zesty ceviches to the refreshing cucumber salad, every plate was an explosion of unique flavors. However, the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly their selection of Nigiri. We tried each one on offer and each bite left us in a delightful frenzy, a testament to the outstanding skill and creativity infused in each piece.
Capping off this splendid feast was the exquisite mango sorbet dessert. Set on a bed of luscious cream, it was a stunning end to a truly phenomenal meal. This restaurant doesn't just serve food, but delivers an experience that I daresay is Michelin-star worthy.
While some may be put off by the absence of a traditional liquor option, the extensive range of sake and wine more than compensated for it, ensuring there's something for every discerning drinker.
As avid food explorers, my wife and I were thrilled by our experience at Itamae. The fusion of cultures and the spectrum of flavors we encountered have us yearning for a return visit, and we can't wait to share this gastronomic treasure with our friends.
In a city teeming with dining options, finding a place that excites and impresses consistently is no easy feat. Itamae manages to do this and more. It's a five-star wonder that should be on every food lover's Miami itinerary.
we had a wonderful and adventurous meal at Itamae. we sit at the Chef’s Counter and we had close interactions with the Chef and the wait staff. The servers were very attentive, professional and knowledgable about the ingredients, the tastes and how they prep the food. We were awed by the contrast of the texture, the freshness of the fish, the surprised sensation of the flavors, and the beautiful presentation. Overall it was a great experience!
Innovative while still upholding the essence of Japanese sushi. We were impressed with the food and service. Our only criticism would be the aged tuna tartare. It was too minced that we couldn’t appreciate the aging process that may have went behind it. Also too runny to actually stick in floppy seaweed paper. But at least it still packed a flavor punch! Definitely end your meal with dessert! One of the best desserts I’ve had
Currently eating at a Nikkei restaurant that ISN'T Itamae and it's making me sad wishing I was at Itamae instead. Genuinely one of the best meals I've ever had.
Don't even read the menu, just ask them to bring you what they recommend. Everything was phenomenal.
Very good service, except for the fact that you have to seat outside and are prone to Miami weather changes. Crowd and music from surrounding places may disturb the experience.
Good overall but somewhat overrated.
Excellent quality ingredients and presentation but still way too expensive for what it is.
Mostly raw fair, with very few exceptions.
Desert was disastrous (an understatement)
Amazing menu and food! My girlfriend and I sampled the menu from start to finish and everything was impeccably executed. The wine and apéritif selection is also top notch and features organic, biodynamic, and off the beaten path producers that pairs perfectly with the menu. The service was also as good as it gets. Chef Chang is a very nice and personable man who took the time out to talk to us while we dined at the chef’s counter. His passion for his cooking truly shows. Itamae was worth the visit 10x over!
The perfect place to grab lunch in Design District. Unpretentious, great food quality, interesting dishes, and fun to watch them prepare the food (at the bar inside).
So much better than Uchi and half the price. Definitely going back!
Have dined here a few times, and it’s always a treat. The tiraditos are beautiful and experiment with unique flavors, but the real stars and best value items (in my opinion) are the daily catches.
Most recently, we had an incredible whole Yellowtail Snapper butterflied and perfectly cooked - for only $42! I was surprised at the price considering how large it was and how expensive the other dishes are relative to their size. Notably, these menu items change frequently based on seasonality, so there’s always something new to try.
On ambiance - indoor seating is limited, but there are plenty of tables outdoors shaded by umbrellas and palm trees. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable setting and great for people watching. I’d definitely recommend sitting outside weather permitting.
