When it comes to eating out, my friends and family always ask me for the best fill in the blank restaurant. So when it comes to the Best Sushi ...
For a coastal city you'd think we have a better selection of sushi bars. With that said I recommend three places...
To experience good sushi, jazz and atmosphere, try Sushi Blues in
I'm going to miss Masamune in Deerfield Beach. Now that my boyfriend moved down to civilization, we won’t find ourselves in Broward as often. But we will surely stop at Masamune next time we are in those neck of the woods. First tip – sit at the bar and talk up the sushi chefs. They are funny and friendly and almost always offer something funky to try while you decide what to order. Second tip – ask what is good today. Last time we were there that question led us to some of the best Wahoo sashimi ever. Third tip – order some unfiltered sake, it will enhance your experience. As for what to get, it’s all good. I like their tuna and avocado salad and simple tekka and hamachi rolls with seaweed on the outside. But their sashimi platters are always fresh and plentiful, so you won’t ever go wrong.
Sushi Maki in Coral Gables, South Miami and now several South Florida Whole Foods is as safe as you get when it comes to sushi in Miami. The fish is fresh and they've got the market cornered on thai and sushi favorites. The staff may not be the friendliest, and you may have to wait for a table, but you can look forward to fresh sushi, plentiful portions and a decent sake menu. Try the spicy tuna and avocado salad (the huge portion and value for $8.99), curry prawns appetizer and any of their basic or creative sushi rolls.
Stand by for the Best of SoFla Japanese Tapas. Curious? Good.
