OMAKAI sushi — Restaurant in Doral

I Didn’t Choose This Restaurant — It Chose Me (And Changed My Life)

Let me paint the picture: I walked into this restaurant with a shellfish allergy, a wife who sends back water if it doesn’t have the right amount of ice, and modest expectations. I left with a standing weekly date night, a renewed sense of purpose, and the taste of Toro still echoing through my dreams like a culinary fever dream I never want to wake up from.

Mariana — our server, our guardian angel, our North Star — took care of us like we were the last couple on Earth and only the power of raw fish could save our marriage. She knew exactly how to guide us, adjusting everything to accommodate my allergy without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. The woman is a hospitality ninja in heels.

Now the food. Listen: this is not your cookie-cutter, cream-cheese-stuffed, shrimp-tempura-roll sad zone. This is high art. This is omakase greatness. This is the kind of sushi that makes your ancestors sit up in their graves and say, “Damn, I wish I had that in my day.”

The fish? Sublime. The belly? A buttery daydream. The Toro? I audibly whispered “I love you” to a slice of it. My wife — a notoriously picky eater — took one bite and looked at me like I finally got something right in life. By the end of the meal, she had scheduled weekly reservations. That’s not dinner. That’s therapy. That’s a miracle.

This place is the one. A rare gem. A flavor temple. A vibe.

Do yourself a favor. Go. And bring someone you love — or at least someone who deserves to...

Dining at Omakai is not just a meal — it’s a journey through the heart of traditional Japanese cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you’re embraced by a serene, minimalist ambiance that sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable culinary experience.

The omakase menu is a true work of art. Each course is delicately crafted, showcasing the purity and precision that defines traditional Japanese dining. The sushi was impeccably fresh — every bite was a moment of silence and appreciation. The toro melted like butter, the uni was luxuriously creamy, and the rice was seasoned to perfection. Every detail was flawless.

A special mention must go to Fernando, our server, whose warmth, knowledge, and attentiveness elevated the entire experience. He guided us through the menu with grace, made thoughtful recommendations, and ensured every moment felt personalized and seamless. His presence added an extra layer of hospitality that truly stood out.

Omakai doesn’t just serve sushi — it tells a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and respect for tradition. This is a place where food becomes memory.

A must-visit for anyone seeking authenticity, elegance, and a deeply satisfying dining experience. Thank you, Fernando, for making it even...
