my first (and last) time I went here was quite the experience. it was about 3 years ago since I have been to this place, and how funny that things had not changed since. when we got there the parking was very packed, the person I came with drove a range rover so lets just say she was lucky she didn't crash into anyone. I forget if we had reservations, but i do remember waiting. At first I was enamored with the look of the restaurant; very traditional japanese dojo like setting. we were on the second floor which was pretty cool ..if you like sitting on the floor but w/e. the waitress we had was the b*tch from hell. she not only ignored us half of the night, she hardly gave refills and our green tea was cold by the time it reached out table. I did NOT like the sushi. granted it was my first time trying sushi, it had a very repugnant taste and its pretty pricey compared to better sushi places (akashi for one) oh lest you not forget that if you don't tip full percent for thier AWFUL service you may get hunted down, like i did. I felt she did a very bad job as a waiter and she had the audacity to call me out for tipping her low. I should have not even bothered to even tip her in the first place. don't waste your money. just cause its pretty doesn't mean its good. Pros: none. it doesn't even deserve half a star. Cons: parking, service, food, waiters, EVERYTHING

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Macerena roll! Love this place. I was born and raised in Miami and have been going to Shibui for over 15 years!!! Nothing compares.

Shibui Japanese Restaurant has some of the best Sushi rolls in South Florida. There make original rolls that you can eat anywhere else. Everyone else knows how good Shibui is, so reservations are recommended! It's always busy, but so worth the wait. The food is delicious, from the appetizers to the desserts. They also have options for people who don't like to eat sushi or raw fish.

After our family recommended it, my wife and I went on 4/19/08. We immediately noticed the poor hygiene in the kitchen through a screen back door as we were struggling to find parking. We entered and I approached the host. I asked him if we could get a table. His response was that I had to wait over 2 hours! I asked him if there was anything that could be done. He told me no. Shocked I asked again and again he said no. He did not even try to accomodate us at a bar or anything. At that point I decided to leave and that is when I noticed a hand written sign taped to the door that said "Hold Your Breath". I did not get it until I stepped outside and there was an overwhelming feces-like stench. Obviously it was someone trying to be funny, but the stench was there. Thai Cafe in Miami Lakes or even Benihana is a much better choice for sushi. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything

I live around the area and have been there a lot but the last 2 times the sushi was bad (tuna). The roll fell apart and the tuna had a fishey smell. I would not tell my friends about this place. I think it is over rated and over price. If you want bad sushi go there. Pros: ambience Cons: smelly sushi

We moved to Miami from New York a couple of years ago and we are sushi lovers, after going to countless sushis restaurants from South Beach to Aventura we were so happy to have found Shibui. The sushi has always been fantastic and I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table if I made a reservation. Everyone that I have recommended Shibui to have thanked me.

We went to Shibui last night, expecting the food to be delicious since it had been highly recommended. We had reservations for 8:15pm and had to wait almost 40 min for a table, finally when they sat us down we had till wait till almost 10pm to order our drinks. Finally after waiting for almost an hr and a half they bring us our food. I have gone to eat sushi all around Miami and the sushi rolls here were completely miniscule and the fish was not fresh, it had a fishy scent. The avocado on the dragon roll that was ordered was underripe and brown from sitting out for too long. Everything was overpriced and the quality of the food was below average, the only thing that was worth it was the japanese soda. Dont make the same mistake we did, dont go to Shibui. Pros: Ramune Cons: Sushi, Service, Parking

The sushi is good, address is wrong (it is on 102), parking is not enough and the second floor it's romantic. Pros: Romantic Cons: Parking

I just adore eating sushi and this is one of my favorite places to go for a bit of those wonderful freshly rolled delicacies...there is no question in my mind that everything we've had is fresh as could be. To name all the items we have when we go there are would take forever so I??ll just mention a few....Eel rolls, Salmon rolls, California rolls, Volcanoes, Dynamite rolls, Sashimi, various fresh raw fish rolls of every variety, the names escape me now, but suffice to say the variety is always amazing and the presentation very appealing??There was also different flavors of Wasabi and low sodium soy sauce for those who have to watch their salt intake. The service is always friendly and fast..Oh and the Miso soup is just perfect! Thumbs up! PROS: Great fresh tasting exotic Japanese specialties CONS: None
