The Top 11 Sushi Near Four Seasons at The Surf Club
-
Rank 1. Ogawa
Sushi
Ogawa holds a Michelin star, and one sit at the omakase counter tells you why. This is a serious sushi experience tucked into Little River, where the nigiri is precise and the cooked dishes before it are genuinely surprising enough to make you forget you were just waiting for the fish. Warm wood, bold art on the walls, and a crowd that dressed up just enough to feel the occasion without overdoing it.

Rank 2. Hiden
Sushi
A Michelin-starred omakase counter tucked inside Wynwood with a sliding door that only opens if you have the passcode, which is exactly as cool as it sounds. Once you're in, the chef walks you through precisely cut fish flown from Japan, pressed into vinegar-seasoned rice, all at a relaxed pace with a good playlist running. The crowd feels like people who know something others don't, and honestly, they do.

No reservations, no ceremony, no problem. This nigiri-focused counter inside a Design District food hall turns out serious sushi at a pace that'd make most omakase spots blush. The fish comes in fresh multiple times a week, the sets are tight and well-priced, and you're done in under 20 minutes. Everyone around you is probably on a shopping break from the Bulgari next door, which puts the whole thing in context.

Rank 4. Shingo
Sushi
A Michelin-starred omakase tucked into Coral Gables, where the fish flies in from Japan and the rice is seasoned with the kind of care most restaurants reserve for the whole menu. The 14-seat counter feels generous for the format, and the chef works it like he has something to prove, which at this level is exactly what you want. Expect a dressed-up, quietly reverent crowd who definitely googled the chef beforehand.

Rank 5. The Den
Sushi
Hidden behind a sliding door inside Sushi Azabu at the Stanton Hotel, The Den is an intimate omakase counter where the fish flew in from Japan a few days ago and the chef behind the cypress wood bar knows it. The crowd tends toward people who've done their homework and dress accordingly. The itamae are surprisingly warm for a room this serious, which makes the whole thing feel like a privilege rather than a performance.
