Zuma Miami

Modern Japanese izakaya on the Miami River, robata smoke and sushi built for the whole table to share.

Zuma is the Miami outpost of the izakaya that started in London and now turns up in the world's glossiest cities, here handed a stretch of the Miami River to match its ambition. The kitchen runs the contemporary izakaya idea across three stations at once, a sushi counter, a robata grill, and the main kitchen, so plates land when they're ready rather than in tidy courses. Come with people and order widely: the miso-marinated black cod off the charcoal in its hoba leaf, rock shrimp tempura in a creamy chilli glaze, sea bass sashimi brightened with yuzu. Sit on the terrace for golden hour, then let the room get loud and glossy the way a Miami dinner should.
