naoe

...at naoe, the time flies, partially because of the food, but also because of the service. 8 people are allowed to eat at naoe per sitting. contrasted against the 7 staff that i counted, and the fact that each of them is incredibly engaging are why call it theatre. none of that would matter if the t he food wasn't world-class. if the pictures attached don't give it away, i can assure you that it is. naoe is partly-owned by chefkevincory,  a highly rated sushi chef who use

there is no doubt that naoe is one of the best small-table omakase style restaurants within a thousand miles of miami. naoe is led by chefkevincory, whose path to success began at age 19 under the tutelage of kyoto-based executive chef nobuo kase. after living in toyama and being trained by his highly revered uncle, uashushi naoe, he moved to miami to continue proving himself further. in 2009, after years and years of preparation, he finally opened naoe. the attention to detail is apparent from the start as you’re greeted by name and shown to your 8-person seating. the courses that followed ranged from so-so to astounding, resulting in an impressive yet slightly underwhelming evening considering all of the positive reviews we had read previously. naoe is very much in the upper echelon of sushi restaurants, but needs minor improvements to be truly amazing.​

dining at naoe was an amazing experience. i recommend this to those with an adventurous and sophisticated palette.kevinand wendy are both tremendous hosts. definitely sit at the bar if you have a chance. go nmb chargers!
