SUSHI STEAL VALENTINA QUIJADA
Since 2020, Omakai Sushi has operated solely as a takeout and delivery concept in Aventura. Late last year, however, it evolved into a stylish brick-and-mortar destination, joining full-service locations in Wynwood and Coconut Grove, along with new openings in both Doral and Downtown. The brand’s main appeal—whether dining in or taking out—is its unique combination of high quality and affordability. With fish and seafood freshness comparable to top-tier Japanese restaurants and meals crafted by skilled sushi chefs, Omakai offers an elevated experience without the premium price tag. The omakase here is neither the lavish splurge nor the lengthy experience often associated with high-end Japanese dining. Diners can select from a variety of options, with the Oma Deluxe as a crowd favorite: a generous selection of 10 sashimi, nigiri, and handroll assortments, all for $50. While à la carte items and tempting extras like the toro truffle nigiri are available, the set menus provide a solid foundation for a highly satisfying meal. In total, Omakai strikes a balance that appeals to casual sushi lovers and discerning palates alike, making it a refreshing and accessible addition to Aventura’s dining scene. (omakai.com) –P.R.
Omakai Sushi’s soothing interiors set the scene for a fabulous but affordable multicourse affair of Japanese delights.
