Azabu Miami Beach

Azabu Miami Beach brings the refined Japanese dining pedigree of New York's Michelin-starred Azabu Tribeca to the iconic Ocean Drive strip in South of Fifth. Tucked inside the Marriott Stanton South Beach, the main dining room centers on a robata grill and a full sushi bar helmed by Tokyo-trained chefs who source most of their fish directly from Japanese markets multiple times a week.

The menu spans pristine nigiri and sashimi, robata-grilled specialties like hamachi kama and lamb chops, and creative small plates — all paired with an expansive sake list and craft cocktails at Bar Azabu. Equally notable is The Den, a secretive omakase counter concealed behind a sliding door in the back, recognized by the Michelin Guide for its immaculate counter of Hinoki cypress and meticulous omakase service.

With happy hour daily from 5:30 to 8 PM and a lively yet intimate atmosphere, Azabu is a standout for both special occasions and casual South Beach evenings alike.
