Since 1914, Yamashiro has reigned over the Hollywood Hills as one of Los Angeles’ most coveted dining destinations. For the first time in its history, this legendary restaurant has expanded beyond the City of Angels, choosing downtown Miami for its second location! Nestled on the 9th floor of the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences, this rooftop oasis brings its signature authentic ambiance and stunning skyline views to the East Coast.
The experience begins the moment you arrive, through an impressive hand-carved door that immediately sets a transportive tone. From there, you’ll wander through tranquil paths lined with carefully sculpted bonsai trees, hidden corners with serene Japanese gardens, picturesque koi ponds, and cozy fire pits. It’s an ideal spot if you’re looking to impress a date or celebrate a special occasion.

The menu honors its Japanese roots while embracing the vibrant ingredients of South Florida. You can expect a fantastic selection of freshly made sushi and handrolls, perfect for sharing or enjoying as a main course. For those who love the smoky, intense flavors of Japanese grilling, the menu features a Robata grill and premium wagyu preparations that are sure to be a highlight.
Beyond the food, the drink and dessert rituals add another layer of spectacle to the dining experience, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. A standout feature is the martini cart, which brings a touch of tableside theater as cocktails are prepared right before you, often using dramatic liquid nitrogen for a smoky, photo-worthy effect. For a more serene experience, the traditional Sakura Bloom Tea Ritual offers a moment of calm and a beautifully ceremonial end to your meal.
