Miso Japanese Tapas restaurant review | Fort Lauderdale, FL
Reviews
The service matched the quality of the food — attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The whole atmosphere has a very cool, relaxed vibe that feels a bit “off the beaten path” in the best way.
If you’re looking for a great sushi spot in Fort Lauderdale with incredible food, great service, and a chill ambiance, definitely check out Miso. I’ll absolutely be back!
Atmosphere also 10/10! Friday night and the place got packed real quick! Beautiful restaurant and ambiance! Wow wow wow!
If this isn’t your go to for sushi and delicious Japanese tapas my heart hurts for you.
First we were asked if we have a reservation (normal) then the hostess offers us the worst table available right to the side of a large party of more than 15 people, and the table was in the middle of the room. I thought the place was full but nope, restaurant was empty until the time we left, finally We were seated at the bar.
About the food, Portions are small but prices are full! If it’s a tapas restaurant then charge as tapas, not as a full meal, maybe my opinion. Tuna tartare was whatever, maybe the worse I’ve had ever.
Lastly, sushi rolls, the ratio rice/fish was not balanced (see the pictures). The Cali-Co was good, flavorful and different, but on the TGIF the strongest flavor I could tasted was the fried flavor of the tempura!
In the middle of the rolls we understood we have to order something else, dishes are really small.
From the beginning, the customer service was exceptional. MISO generously offers to cover your parking ticket for nearby parking, whether it’s across the street or just around the corner. The place features an open kitchen, lively artwork, and provides a cool, cozy atmosphere perfect for a date, a local visit, or meeting up with friends. MISO is tapas style, so the portions are great for shareable bites.
TAPAS
Miso Seabass – Miso glazed
Foodie Chews Review – AMAZING!! OMG now this was a party in my mouth. Cooked to perfection and the flavor was everything HOWEVER we all agreed that it was extremely salty but still the best out of everything that we had.
Seared Scallops and Corn – Corn puree, tomato, shiso
Foodie Chews Review – The description might have sounded dull, but it was anything but boring—it was actually the second-best dish of the evening. I experienced flavors ranging from Southern to Indian South Asian cuisine.
Belly Tasting – Belly cut tuna, salmon, yellowtail nigiri
Foodie Chews Review: The fish belly is succulent and rich, boasting a tender yet delicate texture, with a hint of sweetness. It’s incredibly fresh and complemented by delectable toppings, making it highly satisfying.
Squash Blossom Crab Rangoon – Snow crab stuffed squash blossom, tempura fried, sweet and sour sauce
Foodie Chews Review: Not your local Chinese spot crab Rangoon but a very kicked up not version. Ha! Its exactly what the description described however I don’t recall the sauce being sweet nor sour but different. The dish was different in a good way but nothing mind blowing. I saw the crab however I did not taste the minced crab meat but paired with the sauce it was good.
Ceviche – White fish, red onion, jalapeño, cherry tomatoes & cilantro
Foodie Chews Review: Did not try however my guest stated that it was very flavorful and quite good.
Miso Edamame – Miso-butter, garlic, togarashi
Foodie Chews Review: Did not try however I was told that they were delicious.
Dragon – Shrimp tempura, cucumber, topped with eel and avocado, spicy eel sauce
Foodie Chews Review: I did not try (to basic for me haha) however my guest enjoyed this roll.
Fried Short Rib Dumpling – Spicy ponzu (4 dumplings)
Foodie Chews Review: Tender meat stuffed dumpling with light flavor. Needed more flavor but paired with the sauce it was good.
Overall: Solid B+ (BTW Nice RnB classics)

The service was great. My server, Tatem, was extremely helpful and very professional. She really knows how to paint a picture when describing the menu items. You can tell she’s very knowledgeable about the food. Before I even ordered, she offered to walk me through the house specials for the night, and honestly they sounded amazing—but I already had my eye on a few things.
The ginger salad was super fresh and delicious. The fried rice squares were bomb. The pork belly was bomb. The short rib tacos were bomb. Honestly, everything was . Washed it down with good cold brews.
I was working on my laptop while I ate, and the service was perfect—never pushy, but always attentive when needed. Tatem checked in just the right amount and made the whole experience feel natural and easy.
The restaurant itself is beautiful—clean, well kept, and honestly a piece of art. The music was chill, the vibe was right, and even the restrooms were spotless.
I’ll definitely be coming back. I ended up spending about $100 just on myself and happily tipped Tatem well because the service genuinely deserved it.
