Sushi Couture

By far the worst sushi I’ve ever had in my life and absolutely disgusting excuse of a sushi restaurant. STAY AWAY I assure you it will be the biggest mistake of your life if you eat here, an overpriced expensive filthy mistake!
You’re welcome to all those that I saved from having a down right terrible repulsive meal.

Really good sushi spot in South Beach. This was our first lunch here in Miami, and it didnt disappoint.
We got some house saki (cold) with a Kirin and margarita. All were really good and hit the spot. The sake was a GENEROUS amount, and tasted great paired with the Kirin.
In terms of the meal:
+Shumai appetizer: really good. Hot, good texture, and great taste. Well-​done.
+Couture Rolls (3 for $ 20) — nice deal. I got the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy scallop. All were really good, with soft rice and a fresh taste (no fish smell). The spicy scallop was fried, which added a nice touch for texture as well.
The soy sauce tasted lighter and not as harsh as usual soy sauces I have at sushi restaurants, which was nice.
I didn’t mind that top was included in the bill (20%) because the waiter/​bartender did a pretty good job of bringing the meal and drinks out in a timely manner.

Straight to the point:
Overpriced vs other similar restaurants
Waiter was good and nice but service was so slow they had to apologize.
No menu for the drinks was provided.
Food is marginal for what you pay.
With some adjustments it would be a a good choice, but until them I will try to avoid.

Sushi Couture made for the perfect first meal in South Beach. My group of five ladies dined outside a step above street level. This was a great place to watch the action without being trampled by it.
My group ordered 5 different rolls to share including the chopped eel avocado, sweet potato and yellowtail jalapeño roll. They were perfect to split as the drinks kept flowing. The drinks kept flowing so I can’t tell you the specifics of the meal, other than that we all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.
Our server and the rest of the staff were friendly, attentive and adorable.
This was definitely a fun spot to enjoy some sushi in South Beach.

Extremely mediocre and not worth the price, not much to say because it was not the worst or best experience of sushi I’ve had.

5 stars for the cheap [good] drinks on SoBe’s Ocean Drive! One of the few places serving affordable non-​36oz, buy one, get one, beverages. Our bartender, Louis, was very attentive and was extremely helpful in making us drinks that we were sure to like — also used fresh ingredients (fruits and such). Came around 5pm on a Sunday and barely anyone there. Perfect getaway from the South Beach crowds.

Can I give 0 stars ?
The food is bad, the portions is small, the timing is long, only the prices is hight!

I’m male, fairly small appetite, lb 150, average build.
Food portions are EXTREMELY SMALL and overpriced. 10 tiny rolls for 20 $.
clearly Gourmet.
If you have no appetite or a craving for spending a lot for small portions, the food is good. Sushi at least.
Fried rice portions were humiliatingly small as well. Every other asian style restaurant has larger fried rice portions. I can say that with confidence.
BUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE, GET READY,
If you order a soda for delivery, you will literally get a small, 8 ounce (before ice) coke, in a tiny plastic cup, wrapped and sealed like soy sauce, for FOUR FUCIKNG DOLLARS.
Insanity. disgusting. I made a mental note of this place solely to avoid it for all eternity.

Delightful dining. Preferable option for a quick bite and some day drinking on South Beach.
Loved the sushi. Made fresh and reasonably priced. Personal favorites are the sweet potato roll and the yellowtail jalapeño roll.
Fun drink menu. The margarita fish bowl is awesome if you’re looking for an INTENSE buzz. Get two if you’re looking to drown yourself in booze haha.
Great service overall !

The sushi is overpriced and it’s not even anything special.
We went with a party of 10 and we were pretty much the only people in the restaurant. Although it is clean and our waiter was great, it was not worth the money we spent on the sake bombs and sushi. I am sure there is somewhere with better sushi in Miami.

Must try the wings! Yes, it may sound kind of silly to order wings at a sushi place, but it’s a super yummy appetizer to kick off the meal with! Sushi is pretty good too — some rolls are better than others like most places. We enjoyed the spicy yummy & orange dragon. Give it a try if you want to sine on ocean drive — def worth the $$$!

I would have to agree with all the other reviews. I wanted to like this place. I’d seen posts from Jonathan on Instagram about it and I’m also guilty of watching the Kardashians. I figured why not?! I sat down and wasn’t greeted or waited on for a good 10 minutes. Also, considering how busy Ocean Drive was on Saturday, I expected more of a crowd. Maybe that was a bad sign? My husband and I ordered two rolls. One with tuna and jalapeño (had a strange citrus flavor… didn’t enjoy it) and the other was the orange dragon (okay but not the best roll I’ve ever had). Once I told the guy who was helping us how we were in a rush, things became muxh speedier. I had to catch a flight! I had two different sushi meals while visiting south Florida. I wasn’t thrilled with either. Guess I’ll stick to fresh cooked seafood instead.

Awesome sushi, awesome service. I had a fun time. I highly recommend trying the Spicy Yummy Roll. It was so good that after we finished it, we ordered a second. The only downside of this spot is its located right on Ocean Drive, which is swimming with annoying promoters who are totally shameless. One of them tried to sit down with us while we were eating, we had to ask him to leave (he seemed appalled that we did not want to hear his BS promotion and got pissed), oh well!
Shout out to Junior and Guillermo, they were the best servers ever and made our time very enjoyable.

Disguting, the most degusting delivery ever. Everything good to put to garbage directly for $ 40. Don’t even try
Can we rate negative stars?

We came here because one of my friends is a huge Kardashian fan so of course we had to try one of Jonathon Cheban’s restaurants. But that’s all it is, a restaurant with a famous personnel’s name.
Sushi quality is mediocre at best. Rolls are small with very little actual fish. Even the hamachi jalapeño had very small pieces of hamachi.
This is one of many restaurants lining Ocean Drive so it has optimal location and is a great spot to people watch.
But if you’re staying in Miami, there’s just so much better restaurants to eat at.
Plus, service is just horrendous. They don’t pay attention to you and they don’t know much about the menu if you ask for recommendations. They’re too busy people watching.

I would go somewhere else. There are just too many amazing spots in Miami to waste your time on subpar spots. This place was so disappointing to me. Maybe it was an off day but I was appalled by the service and not moved by the food.
We sat outside and we were 1 of 4 tables seated so they were not busy. It was a Saturday afternoon and they had various employees working but most of them were just standing around people watching. Our server was brand new, which I appreciate him telling us that but then shouldn’t he have had the other employees help out? He was forgetting things we ordered, taking forever to deliver simple things like drinks and refilling water, and his communication was terrible. The music was so loud and he was so soft spoken that it was a ton of repeating and yelling. No exaggeration. Speaking of the music… terrible. Just terrible «pop» selections and at one point the same song played three times in a row. We brought it to their attention and they went to the next song but really?
I ordered one drink that I really enjoyed, and on my second choice I had to return the drink. It was terrible. The server didn’t even say anything about it, just removed the drink and when the bill came I saw he didn’t charge me. That was that. Appreciate it but some communication would have been nice.
The food was okay. But, for everything else we dealt with in this experience the only thing that would have made up for that would be amazing food and this place just doesn’t provide that.
In Summary:
— The ambiance is nonexistent outside.
— The service was horrific.
— Drinks were just ok.
— Food was just ok.
I’m sorry but slapping a «celebrity» on the name of a restaurant doesn’t do anything if you don’t deliver with amazing service and food.

I’m gonna go with two stars here. The rock shrimp I ordered was definitely good, but that’s about it. Music was terrible, and in true Miami fashion the service was less than par. I didn’t know this is a Jonathan Cheban restaurant either – until well after I sat down with my group – otherwise I never would’ve patroned the place.

For reality TV show fans, this restaurant is owned by Jonathan Cheban — — AKA the friend of the Kardashians that’s always on their show. (He was actually sitting behind us when we were dining there)
The décor is simple, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. However, I wasn’t really impressed with the food here. They have an extensive menu, but since I had a hankering for sushi, I ordered the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, yellowtail jalapeño roll, and spicy yummy roll. Everything tasted fresh, but there wasn’t anything that really stood out or made it extraordinary. I also ordered the cotton candy frozen drink and it was tasty and just the right amount of sweetness.
They also add a service charge on top of your bill. I would recommend other sushi restaurants in SoBe, but Sushi Couture is probably one of the only few on Ocean Drive.

I’m use to great sushi being from NYC, and Sushi Couture hits a level that I would recommend if you were in the area, but you shouldn’t go out of your way to eat here. Again, this is just based on my NYC experience, and if you aren’t familiar with NYC, they have some of the best options in the US that I have experienced.
The price is right though, so if you are on a budget come by and get $ 5 tuna roll or a $ 6 spicy tuna roll. Specialty rolls are average to overpriced though and range $ 15 to $ 25.
The ambiance is similar to a darker version of Pinkberry (you know the icecream place). The plates are kinda cool though. They are porcelain that looks like oyster shells.
Service was pretty good. The waiter was funny, and he was supported by staff that kept my glass full. My friends didn’t experience the refills though and expressed discontent.
Now the food… it was mediocre. I got a tuna roll, spicy tuna roll, and a lobster tempura roll. All tasted fresh, but nothing blew my mind away. The flavor in the spicy tuna could have been better. The lobster tempura roll was also a little bland, and I felt like I should have tried a different roll.
I’ll probably look for another sushi place on my next trip to South Beach, but if you want something in the area that is fairly priced then you have the place.

I am a frequent sushi diner, and I’m adding this to my top 10.
I agree with the review below, presentation isn’t the best… But that shouldn’t matter as long as the quality of the fish is good. It’s a great spot to check out before you go out on the town. The food is great, the drinks are delicious, and they play good music.
my favorites consisted of…
Spicy tuna crispy rice
Snow crab hand roll
Spicy tuna special roll
Orange dragon
Spicy yummy
Shell roll
Can you tell I made two trips here in one visit?!
There was an appetizer we got that you MUST try… Not sure the name of it. It’s spicy tuna with an egg on top. Mind blowing.
The drinks are also really good. My favorite was… «Johnny walker» my friend got the cotton candy. It was too sweet for my liking but it’s like ice cream.
Must check out when in Miami.
