Memorable Minitures: Miami’s Top 5 Sushi Restaurants

Morimoto Sushi Bar

If you happen to be slightly North of Miami’s featured sushi hotspots, pass by Morimoto. Located in the Boca Raton Resort & Club, Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s sushi bar is exquisitely simple, which may be surprising considering who runs this joint, but simplicity can speak volumes when you know what to do with it. Enter Morimoto.

While some patrons find the main menu at recently opened Morimoto’s a bit lacking in variety (not in flavor, mind you), the real supreme deal is when you enter the world of extraordinarily fresh fish flown in directly from Japan at least one per week. Head sushi chef Takao Soejima previously worked in Morimoto in Philadelphia and has clearly learned a thing of two (or a thousand) from Chef Morimoto. Suggested appetizers include (but certainly are not limited to) a staple Morimoto dish, tuna pizza on grilled tortilla; rock shrimp tempura (already a divine creation, wait until you try Morimoto’s); and whitefish Carpaccio, a more traditional dish spiced up by a pool of ponzu-like sauce.
