Sushi Yasu Tanaka By Masumura

Tucked away inside MIA Market in Miami’s Design District, Sushi Yasu Tanaka defies expectations at every turn. This unassuming food hall vendor has quietly established itself as one of the city’s premier sushi destinations, serving fish so fresh and technique so refined that it could easily command attention in a standalone restaurant. The casual setting belies the exceptional quality that awaits—a delightful contradiction that makes discovering this place feel like stumbling upon a well-kept secret.

The star of the show is undoubtedly the 8-piece nigiri platter, a masterclass in precision and quality. Each piece demonstrates remarkable craftsmanship, with rice seasoned just right and fish that practically melts on your tongue. For those looking to end their meal on a decadent note, the wagyu handroll delivers an unforgettable finale, with rich, buttery beef wrapped in perfectly crisp nori.

This is the kind of spot that works beautifully for solo diners looking to treat themselves to a quick but memorable meal. The food hall setting means you can walk in without a reservation and still enjoy some of the best sushi Miami has to offer. Yes, it’s a splurge—but one that feels entirely justified from the first bite.

Whether you’re shopping in the Design District and need a refined lunch break or you’re specifically seeking out exceptional sushi in an unexpected setting, Sushi Yasu Tanaka delivers. Come hungry, leave impressed, and start planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your last piece.
