    1) Sushi Blues Cafe, Hollywood FL. Nice location.
    2) Tokyo Bowl. Biscayne Blvd. & 125 St (NE). Miami. All u can eat sushi/sashimi. Not so fancy, but if you really like to chow sushi, this place has very good quality food at a bargain price ($22 all u can eat).

    DORAKU. lincoln road on the beach. havent been there in years but it was always my go-to-spot. let everyone else go to sushi samba up the street, that place is all hype in my personal opinion--overpriced. oversold. overeverything.

    The best "sushi" restaurant in Miami is Nobu at the Shore Club.

    The best traditional sushi restaurant in South Florida is the Morimoto sushi bar at the Boca Raton Resort & Country Club.

    Nobu is more of a Japanese-Nuevo Peruvian fusion thing with good sushi but even better non-traditional dishes. The (cooked) black cod is excellent and one of their signature dishes. The seared yellowtail appetizer was very good as well (my guess is it was probably Buri Toro from the spectacularly buttery flavor). The Sashimi (and Nigiri Sushi) is good, but for traditional sushi I would go with Morimoto. The tasting menu at Nobu is $135 per person and it is the way to go if you are a first timer there because you get to try a bit of everything. Go hungry because, even though the portions are small, there's a lot of them.

    Morimoto has better choice of fish and is a more traditional Japanese restaurant. Specifically, the Maguro is fantastic, giving you the option of Otoro or Chutoro, whereas in Nobu when you ask for Toro they probably serve Chutoro, based on the flavor and consistency of what I was served. The Morimoto Sashimi "sampler" was the thing to get here because you get to try several different fish. The kobe style beef sandwich is a kind of hamburgery thing that is delicious as well and don't forget to order the Otoro which is fatty, melty deliciousness.

    Ambiance: Nobu is large and loud and the tables are right next to each other, so plan on making friends with the next table. Morimoto is a small traditional sushi bar with only a few tables and a long sushi bar. You have to be a guest or member of the Boca Resort & CC to dine there and they don't take reservations.

    Neither one of these is a romantic private restaurant, but that's not what Sushi restaurants are all about.

    Price: Nobu is ridiculously expensive, Morimoto is expensive if you order the right things, plus you have to add the hotel stay, so you're out $400-$500 for two people either way.

    As for "Hot Spot Location" Nobu is at the Shore Club in Miami Beach, Morimoto is in Boca at a country club/hotel. Nobu would classify as a hot spot whereas the location of Morimoto would be better described as classy.

    Morimoto sounds great....too bad about the guests-only restriction. Doesn't do a lot for us locals!
