if you want an authentic experience with the most incredible sushi, then this is the place for you. Now I will warn you about a few things - making a reservation is absolutely and highly recommended as this place gets super swamped with individuals looking to try everything on the menu, as well as regulars. Showing up about 15 minutes before your reservation is also suggested, just in case. Since they are open only about 4 hours a day, coming in about 15 minutes before they open, would be your best bet and will guarantee you a table, as. Long. As. You. Already made a reservation. The woman running the place could seem a bit up tight - but just ignore it, she;s just trying to run the place and I am sure it gets a bit out of control with abundance of folks standing around. If you do happen to get there without a reservation, be prepared to wait, most likely at least an hour, but trust me it's well worth it. If you are stuck waiting - grab a Japanese beer, relax and wait your turn. It happened to me, but I didn't complain, especially after getting a table and tasting the incredible creations.

North Beach is my safe haven. It's what I come to Miami for. Not for the overhyped, ridiculously crowded South Beach. I escape to North Beach in order to enjoy the calming sound of the water and not be approached by club promoters every other second. The beaches are cleaner and there's more space for you to lay out. -------------------------------------------------------- --A tourist's view: If you're looking for a "scene," as in tatas, clubs, and noise, then of course there is South Beach (which I thoroughly enjoyed as a much younger dude). ----------------------------------------------------------- If you're looking for something quieter, cleaner, and more secluded, then North Beach is the better option. Spanning from the lower 60s to roughly the 80s (along Collins Avenue), you'll have no shortage of places to pitch a tent to sunbathe, swim, or stroll along the coast. (Now, If you're wanting something REALLY quiet, then head further north, to Surfside and Bell Harbor, which also offer great beaches). Although the beach itself is nothing spectacular in NoBe, it happens to be extremely well kept, consistently clean, and runs for miles. You will not be disappointed. ------------------------------------------------------------------ For those wanting physical recreation, there are bike rentals nearby (and several connecting paths that run all the way to Bell Harbor), as well as several entry points for kitesurfing and such. The boardwalk is fairly free of the typical traffic that one finds in South Beach, so you won't be constantly dodging pedestrians while biking or running. ------------------------------------------------------------------ NoBe has enough hotels, restaurants, and general stores to satisfy all the amenities of a tourist, while also offering some local flavor (it happens to be "Little Argentina"). All the places that cater to tourists are situated along Collins, but in the blocks heading west, one will find no shortage of cafes and diners that cater to the various Spanish-speaking tongues. ------------------------------------------------------- This is where the locals from the south go for some peacefulness from Sobe Miami. Well, tourists come here too! The norther you go - beach wise, you will find cleaner beaches, away from Sobe. Beach is always clean, parking is very close and make sure you take chairs and umbrellas for a wonderful day in the sun! ----------------------------------------------------------- Note to tourists: THIS IS NOT NORTH MIAMI BEACH, this is NORTH BEACH. North Miami Beach is around the 163rd St area and is not a beach or even near it. That being said, the beaches of North Beach are some of the most beautiful I've seen and are always well maintained. Most stretches of the beach are pretty quiet and mainly a well kept secret of locals... However, it can get pretty crowded on holidays, but that's to be expected. Just south of 65th there are some really cool pathways to explore but be prepared to see quite a few cats along the way. ------------------------------------------------------------------- North Beach is soooo peaceful!! When you are in the Miami area do not wish to deal wish the "flashiness" of South Beach. North Beach is a great alternative for your family and very kid friendly. :-) Great time!! Perfect for families!! - Mom of 2 and wife ------------------------------------------------------------------- I love my NoBe beach spot!! There's never a crazy amount of tourists - even in high season. There's plenty of parking in the pay lot or on the street, if you get there early enough (around 10). Plus, the bums are just so friendly that they are willing to help you with the parking machine ;-). It's my favorite spot for a chill-under-the-umbrella day. The waves are a bit more rough (using that term loosely) than other areas of Miami Beach, but that makes it a tad bit exciting, right? I love the proximity of affordable breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots, just a block away along Collins. Not to mention Lou's Beer Garden, right around the corner. ----------------------------------------------North beach over south beach hands down! South beach gets all the press because it's party central! My ideal beach...pristine waters, white sand, a calm breeze and all the space in the world to soak in Mother Nature without having to worry about whether or not the drunk guy with the football 20 yards away is unknowingly aiming for your head or your significant other's head! North beach is just my cup of tea! And there aren't too many places in the USA where you can take a dip in mid February without having to wear a waterproof, cold resistant spacesuit! Not even sure if such a thing exists..------------
