Sushi Erika

I was just reading everyone's review below and I gotta say, most of the negative reviews seem to be Karen's. I have been going to sushi Erika since it opened, I used to go to Japanese market and have been following chef Erika for a while. While I understand the operation rules are different than what we're used to at an American-japanese restaurant. Sushi Erika sticks to their japanese culture. Most of the time I go, the restaurant is packed! There is usually a line out the door. The restaurant is small therefore they put out some rules, such as no take out orders, no using lap top on tables, a one time order, and so on. While these rules may not be common in America, they are very common in other cultures. When entering sushi Erika, I feel she has brought a bit of Japan to miami. They offer amazing specials, their flavor combinations are bold and umami, and their quality of food has never been altered. I know every time I visit sushi Erika I will receive high quality sea food. I will continue to go to sushi Erika and recommend anyone I can! While reminding them that this is not ur regular sushi spot, but an authentic experience.
I went this Sunday with my boyfriend for his first time and we spent $98 dollars ordering 3 special roles, 3 appetizers, and one nigiri order. Diet Coke and sparkling water. To me, that's a steal! If you go down to Nobu you will pay exponentially more for lower quality foods. (Love nobu, it's a different experience).

One of the best sushi spots in Miami

The most fresh sushi you will ever had.

Small little spot but those are usually the best ones

Update: still consistently great. The best sushi I've had in Miami.
Be prepared to wait, it's a tiny spot and there's a line is outside the door before they open. It's busy at all times, I've tried to calculate different times but it's always the same so be prepared to wait.
You must order everything at once (except for dessert, you can order that later) the reason for this is so people can eat faster and leave faster, don't get me wrong, you won't be rushed at all but it's a good way to not let the wait times get completely out of control.
I do wish they were able to accommodate take out but from what I understand they are not take out friendly.
Those are all minor inconveniences, trust me you won't have better sushi anywhere in Miami.

I finally got to dine in here! We sat at the sushi bar, which is a great spot for solo diners or couples to sit. You get to watch the chefs in action.
The service was good, and the food was delicious. My favorites are the spicy scallop roll & the avocado fries.

Can't get enough!!!! There aren't words to express how fabulous this place is!!!
Best sushi in Florida for sure! Everything is fresh , super extra well made , you can feel the love Erika and her team put in the making of this sushi!!! Ambience is wonderful , great , fun music , and the servers are the best super extra attentive, sweet and beautiful girls, they make you feel at home.

First things first: I wish they had longer hours so I can come back for dinner!

Sushi Erika is a great casual sushi spot in North Bay village that has surprisingly great quality sushi. And it's affordable. I believe they are only open until 6pm, so it's more of a lunch/early dinner place. I stopped by Sushi Erika for a solo lunch and sat at the counter. The service was prompt and I ordered a green iced tea, Eel roll (bbq eel) and the Marie roll (spicy tuna, shiso, roasted garlic). Everything came out relatively quickly. The rolls were both perfect and delicious, you can tell that sushi chefs take their craft seriously here. The ingredients are high quality. I recommend the Marie roll if you're looking to try something new and interesting.

A random thing I enjoyed - I was really vibing to the playlist they had on. It's a great place to dine solo and relax.

I can't recommend Sushi Erika enough! I'm looking forward to coming back soon to try more of the menu items.

Craving of good, fresh, delicious and real sushi. Sushi Erika covers all your needs when you are looking for extremely good sushi. This small place located at north bay village, with a unique Japanese minimalist style and a cozy sushi bar, pampers you with local and imported fish and seafood. They also offer very nice makis (sushi rolls and hand sushi roll / cones), with a unique combinations. You will find a freezer with a very nice selection of sakes. Service is very attentive and polite and in front of the sushi bar you will find the owner Erika, giving you the most delicious sushi in the area. Take your precautions the place is always packed, so be early to have the opportunity to try this wonderful Japanese spot.

This place is soo good! They were able to accommodate to our 4-person party during rush hour, and have fast service! The food was delicious and there was a huge menu with a wide range of options.

This place is my husbands absolute favorite! We always go and it's always packed! And well worth the wait! We usually order the baked salmon, Lexi Sandwich, & definitely end off with the crepe cake! It's so light!!! Ericka does an amazing job!

Still my top favorite sushi spots in Miami!

Sushi Erika has fresh fish and is always consistent! Great service and staff!

Their pricing is good for their quality!

I tell all of my friends and family about Sushi Erika, worth the drive!

I come specifically for their spicy scallop roll but you can't go wrong with anything else on the menu!

As soon as you walk through the door you are welcome by the staff and they are attentive. The ambiance is casual, which I love!

Cue Etta James's "At last" because at last, we have found a good place that has simple and fresh sushi. I wish there was one closer to me in Brickell!
So here's my review:
Walked in this afternoon and ordered a hot sake and edamame. The place is super simple and even at 4:30pm, all their tables were full. The servers were very nice and very attentive too. But now, my favorite topic, the food. We ordered a lot because we were eager to try so here we go. Ordered crispy rice which was pretty tasty, and the Lexi roll first. I liked the Lexi roll, and thought the kimchi sauce it came with was something different and I enjoyed it. Then we ordered the avocado fries/wedges. I didn't really know what to think at first but the waitress said they were popular and different, so we knew we wanted to try. I actually really liked it! I wouldn't eat them super often but I thought it was good. It comes with lime and spicy mayo but the avocado was nice a smooth biting into it. Definitely recommend trying it at least once. After, we tried the spicy scallop roll and a simple hamachi roll. I think the spicy scallop was my favorite thing we ordered. It was very tasty and fresh. Fresh was a common theme eating here. The hamachi was so good and when we ended with a salmon hand roll, the fish was, dare I say again, so fresh. the hand roll was also so good because the nori was crunchy and easy to bite into. I can't begin to tell you how annoying it is when you bite into a temaki and can't break the seaweed! But that wasn't the case here.
Anyway, my takeaways would be good service and great food. The price isn't seem cheap, but all the dishes are on the smaller side so it adds up. Still, nothing ridiculous. This was the first place that I saw ginger and wasabi as an extra charge, but honestly it didn't even bother me that much. We are big on them, especially ginger, so we ordered 2 of each. I'm not surprised since I've noticed sushi places in Miami not even giving ginger or wasabi.

I really enjoyed this place and look forward in coming back!
