the chef and his great staff make you feel great from the moment you step in the restaurant. We had a place at the bar, which gave us direct sight to the kitchen. Outstanding bento box, but for us the highlight was the sushi prepared by the chef . We also enjoyed sardines from Japan, lobster and baby octopus, all absolutely exquisite and tasteful. We have been at some of the best restaurants in the world, and this is one that will be in our top 5!! Thank you!

We were celebrating my husband's birthday and, luckily, we had the restaurant to ourselves. We had the best service and enjoyed the experience very much.

Naoe is the ultimate authentic Japanese culinary experience, in a very intimate setting, where the master chef Kevin Cory, hostess Wendy and two waitresses serve prix fixe meal to lucky eight patrons. What you WON'T find here are the familiar quasi-Japanese fares like California rolls, Teriyaki, shrimp tempuras and fake wasabi. Instead, you will be treated with smorgasbord of delectable treats, some delightfully foreign (and some challenging), like sea bass porridge, sea urchin eggs, and soy sauce sorbet. Monsieur Kory is our equivalent of Japan's octogenarian sushi master Jiro Ono, whose exploits have been famously documented in the documentary, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". For the true Sushi connoisseurs, it will definitely prove worth your while to find this little, concealed spot in Brickell Key.

Everything about this "experience" was great. There is an air of secrecy from start to finish, which makes it that much more special. Upon arrival to a completely unassuming storefront, we were greeted by name, which immediately set the tone for the night. We were seated in the best seat in the house, right in front of Kevin Cory's work station...so we got to see everything up close and personal. The menus were personalized to us. The staff could not have been nicer if they tried. Then, there's the food. Nothing short of adventurous, fresh and delightful....across the board. I'm a realist, so, there were a couple of items that were outside of my taste palette, but, I'm still glad I tried them. Regardless; you learn more about the food, where it comes from and the cultures of origination than you could possibly dream of. The attention to detail was second to none I've ever experienced. We finished the evening with more secrecy, the final dessert. I won't spoil that surprise. What I will say is that Kevin and his Team were some of the nicest people I've ever met and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. If you have the money and you are willing to try new things, this is your place.

The Omakase exceeds expectations! If one wishes to experience the delicacies of Japan, look no further. An exquisite dining experience. Far above and beyond the ordinary. For discerning palates. Superior to many of the Japanese restaurants in Manhattan, including Morimoto. ALL food is FRESH and outstanding. Well worth the cost.

We went to this restaurant expecting a 10-12 course Japanese AND sushi experience. This restaurant is located in a strip mall, horrible ambiance and smelled like fish. We were served 10-12 extremely small bite size ( one small slice of grapefruit was a dessert course) horribly tasting odd food items. Some of the courses we could not even stomach the food. We are well traveled people and love a great food Expereince. This was definitely not that. The minimum of $200/person and disclaimer was ok with us. We left there spending $615/couple, we were hungry and very disappointed. Do not waste your time or money.

Chef Kevin is nothing short of AMAZING! Spectacular experience from the moment you enter the space and meet the kind hostess to the special presentations to the unique flavors and textures in every morsel you encounter.

You know the restaurant is like no other when you are part of only eight fellow diners. If you are seated at the sushi bar, you can watch Executive Chef Kevin Cory doing what he does best – creating bite-size morsels of the most extraordinary sushi ever assembled. Dinner is “omakase” (chef’s choice), one amazing course after another composed of the freshest ingredients from all over the world, best accompanied by superb sake from Chef Cory’s family brewery in Western Japan. $$$$$.

Very good food and excellent service. The only drawback was a very loud group the night we were there.
