Tucked inside the Upper Buena Vista complex, Yoso Sushi is a tiny spot that feels both intimate and vibrant. The interior is essentially an open kitchen with a wrap-around bar and only about eight stools, creating a front-row seat to the action. Outside, a few tables sit beneath the branches of a large tree, surrounded by lush tropical plants. It’s not a place for big groups, but perfect for a date or a relaxed meal with a friend.
The atmosphere strikes a great balance. An upbeat playlist fills the space and sets the mood, yet the volume is just right—you can still easily hold a conversation.
The staff is warm and welcoming, and the kitchen itself is a joy to watch. Three chefs, each from a different continent, work shoulder to shoulder in seamless coordination, crafting dishes with precision, fresh ingredients, and real attention to detail. In a way, it feels like a small example of how the world should work.
We ordered the Yoso menu, a generous tasting menu that moves through sushi, sashimi, salads, and hand rolls. Every plate was beautifully prepared and we finished everything. If I had one suggestion, I would tweak the sequence slightly and reduce the size of the Caesar salad. Personally, I’d even swap it out for a small dessert or perhaps two dumplings per person instead.
Several other dishes passed by our seats that looked fantastic, so there’s clearly more to explore on the menu.
The owner stopped by our table and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the sake selection. He even poured us a sample of a wonderfully fragrant sake with intense floral notes.
A charming little place with great energy and thoughtful food. I’m already looking forward to going back.

Great service and amazing food. Made with so much skill and love. The portions are reasonable. Try their beef dumplings! They taste so original and homemade but even more delicous than the frozen factory stuff. California roll is solid. Ive been back make times for their torched salmon.

Stumbled into this place and discovered what might be the best sushi in Miami. Onur, our server, made divine recommendations. The highlight was the crispy rice with yellowtail, while the Hokkaido scallops melted in our mouths. The dumplings were absolute perfection. We also tried the tuna flight, which showcased cuts ranging from the leanest to the fattiest. We finished with another yellow tale roll with a spicy mango. Oh my.. this was unbelievable. This sushi was so fresh, so good.

Exquisite. Absolutely delightful! Crispy rice with tuna, torched salmon maki roll, vegan maki roll are all 10/10. They were sold out of the beef dumpling was sold out so I will be back to try that and then some! Don’t be surprised if u come in the evening and a handful of dishes are sold out. The freshest quality is of upmost importance here. The quantity of food was also perfect!

Yoso Sushi is an intimate and modern sushi haven. Everything we tried was a solid 10/10. We started with two crispy rice appetizers—tuna and yellowtail—both absolutely delicious. The team surprised us with a seasonal mango-inspired hamachi salad that was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavor.
The Yoso Roll was a standout—layered with complex yet perfectly balanced notes. We also managed to fit in the torched salmon roll, which took us on a total flavor adventure. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and presented.
The chefs and manager were warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate—it really elevated the whole experience. Plus, the restaurant is tucked into a super cool, sanctuary-like mall setting, which added to the charm.
We left with our hearts and bellies full.
Hands down, the best sushi experience I’ve had in Miami. Already looking forward to going back!

Do yourself a favor and come to Yoso NOW! Unique little spot, beautifully curated menu. The love and attention to detail Chef Deniz & Chef Sena put into every single one of their dishes is impressive! The freshness of the fish, how every bite is an explosion of flavor, the quality of their products and service. I haven’t had an experience eating out in Miami as I did tonight. Thank you guys for this amazing concept and your amazing food, I can’t wait to come back!!!
