    Not only was the service below expectations, but my order was also incorrect, which led me to speak with the manager that same night. To make matters worse, I was charged for an item I did not order or receive, and I have yet to be refunded for it. Server did not speak English. I would not recommend this restaurant

    Excellent sushi, freshest fish and creative recipes. The service was also great and the noise level is perfect to have a conversation.

    11/10 experience. We rarely venture from our usual sushi spots in Miami but I’m happy we took a chance with Ikigai. We were lucky enough to meet the owner who was able to make some great recommendations for our meal and accommodate our dietary restrictions. Some of our favorites were the tiradito, flight of tuna nigiri (they had a bluefin tuna cutting that night), and the wagyu with foie gras. Looking forward to another visit soon!

    We absolutely loved our experience at Ikigai Miami! The food was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — every dish felt like a work of art. The service was equally impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can really tell the staff care about the details and your experience. If you’re in Miami, this place is a must-visit. Whether you’re a sushi lover or just looking for an elevated dining experience, Ikigai will exceed your expectations. Don’t miss out — go try it!

    This was such a wonderful experience. The scallop temaki was so fresh. The sukiyaki was delicately seasoned and not over sweet - what a relief. The unagi don might be the best I have ever had. Service was impeccable and the founders were so courteous and passionate about the place. I certainly hope to visit again and introduce it to friends.
