Ahi Sushi Bar

Ahi sushi in Calle 8 has been our go-to since our first visit seven years ago. The quality, freshness, and service have remained top notch. Consistent, honest, and always satisfying, it’s clear they care about doing things right.

What a little gem in the middle of Little Havana, with great omakase. The chef, Brian, was wonderful and took his time to explain things to me as it was my first experience with omakase. Definitely, make reservations as the restaurant is tiny and only seats 7. Which makes dining here feel like a beautiful and intimate affair. And it's BYOB!! I will absolutely be back.

This experience was one of the greatest things I have ever done. The food was out of this world. Every single course melted on the tongue and awoke flavors that I hadn't even dreamed of before. The chef was the star of the show, telling us every fish, where it came from, and how it was made. The intimate setting was great to talk to each other and get to know the chef as he prepared our meal. Could not recommend enough. Definitely will return soon. 5+ stars.

We have been to Ahi Sushi 3 times in the last 2 months, twice for omakase and once a la carte. The omakase sessions were superb, with a mix of standard and creative dishes, well prepared and nicely plated, and all of the fish was of excellent quality. At $80/pp for 9 to 10 courses it's not cheap, but is good value, and we eat a lot of Japanese food and I can confidently say you won't find better for less in Miami. The a la carte menu is very basic, so if there's something specific you want, you should ask for it. The chef will happily take requests off-menu if he has the ingredients on hand, and if he doesn't, will suggest an alternative. If just want basic rolls you can get them cheaper elsewhere, although they probably won't be quite as good. The place is tiny, with 6 seats and 2 more in a pinch. There is one chef and one host/server who have been the same each time we visited. They are personable and good at taking cues, so if you want to eat in silence you can, or vice versa. Lastly, they are BYOB with no corkage fee and it sounds like there are no plans to get a liquor license. We like that because we're happy to bring our own and save the money, but if you forget there are a few different wine/beer/liquor stores nearby on Calle Ocho.

A small place with limited seats but the atmosphere feels like back in Japan. Omakase style is the best experience. Foods are fresh and really tasty. Will definitely come back.

Honestly, fish from Japan and Amazing creativity that you don’t even get at Shingo. The chef is the best in America. You would never think the level Of omakase that you would get at this place in Calle ocho.

Amazing omakase experience! Brian and Focus were excellent. The whole menu is gluten free and we brought our own sake (it is BYOB). The experience feels straight out of Japan in the intimate bar setting. Each nigiri was fresh and delicious, highlighting the variety of fish that are flown in fresh from Japan. Highly recommend!
