Naoe
Miami's longest-running Japanese omakase counter on Brickell Key — only 5 seats, only Chef Kevin Cory preparing every course. Running since 2009. Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond. Menu changes daily, no tuna, no substitutions; sourced from Japan and local Miami fishermen.
Only you see this. What you ordered, what you'd order again, the table to ask for.
The Story
Naoe is Miami's longest-running high-end omakase, run by chef Kevin Cory on Brickell Key for more than 15 years. Cory draws on his family's sake brewery and soy-sauce heritage in Japan, and the counter seats only a handful of guests per seating.
Known for
A single chef's-choice omakase built around the day's fish and Cory's bento box of small dishes. There is no printed menu; you eat what the kitchen decides is best that night.
Recognition
Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star (2026), one of the few Miami restaurants to hold the rating.
Worth knowing
Reservations are essential and seatings are limited, so book well ahead. This is a splurge-level tasting counter on Brickell Key, best approached without a rush.
