For a total cost of 330 dollars, 275 for the experience plus 55 for the service, you pretty much had a flawless time.
Pros:
Incredible service, where they're constantly topping off your water, and quickly cleaning up any spills.
The food quality was top notch, each dish explained
The whole experience felt very immersive in Japanese culture, even down to the details in the restroom.
Cons:
Everything was perfect.
Hard to find through Google maps.
Pay attention to the check, I ordered a rose wine magia for $17 cup and got $20 on the final check

Hands down one of the best meals I have ever had. Absolutely transcendent. We'll worth the money. A true luxury Japanese cuisine experience.

I had the opportunity to dine at Shingo to celebrate my 50th birthday with my wife, and it was an unforgettable experience.
We chose the omakase set menu, and every single course was incredible—carefully crafted, perfectly balanced, and truly second to none. The quality of the ingredients, the precision, and the attention to detail throughout the entire experience were outstanding.
From start to finish, it was a fantastic evening and easily one of the top three Japanese omakase experiences I have had so far.
A well-deserved five stars. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

Service is outstanding: attentive, warm, and perfectly timed. The intimate setting makes the whole experience feel special and personal.
Without a doubt, one of the best omakase experiences in Miami. Absolutely recommended for a memorable evening.

absolutely excellent food and service. food quality unheard of in miami, usually reserved to japan. one suggestion: tell guests to honor the setting and thus adjust their speaking volume to a normal level, instead of screaming.

You will not get better sushi in the United States and I’d go as far to say as the world. Chef Shingo and Chef Yuta are world class and their Michelin star speaks for itself. They are serving the highest quality fish. I’ve had Michelin star omakase in Tokyo and this is just as good if not better. The service is bar none spectacular. This is my 2nd time visiting and it won’t be my last!

Best experience I've ever had. Being there and seeing Shinto making the pieces of art in front of my eyes was extraordinary.
The waitress noticed I'm lefty and started to fix all the table to fit my strong hand and it was so special.

The food at Shingo was exceptional—easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Miami. From start to finish, the staff made everything feel seamless and genuinely pleasant. They were incredibly attentive without being overbearing, and every detail was handled with care.
Each plate was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The quality and freshness of the fish were simply unmatched. I also appreciated how each course was explained with intention, adding depth to an already outstanding meal.
Truly an unforgettable experience. I’ll absolutely be coming back.

The Shingo team presents an extraordinarily well thought-out progression of flavors and themes. Every detail is mindfully curated, and the result is an elevated Omakase experience that somehow feels effortless. I highly recommend the premium pairing selections. My highest compliments to Chef Shingo and his knowledgeable service team.

Secluded in the historical and charming Las Palmas Hotel in the heart of Coral Gables, Shingo is the Japanese experience that pays homage to its hometown culture by bringing the best in art, culinary gastronomy, and colorful flowering arrangements. Their intimate setup serves as the perfect reserved area to host their all-hands warming Japanese service.
Impressed by their welcoming spirit (very typical of their Japanese characteristic), the positive vibes and good aura will bless you with the correct mood to enjoy their delightful bites Salmon or Tuna Teka Maki, meticulously cut and seasoned by the acclaimed Michelin Award Chef, Shingo itself. Who will always make sure to sprinkle the right amount of soy sauce on each roll piece. One of the lovely owners and hosts, Kaori, will guide you through the sophisticated drink selections, not limited to their classic Sakes (Junkai Ginjo Kikusul or the well-balanced between bitter and crisp: Shintaro, or the Karakushi Honjozo), but also including the finest Valée (75 Mois de Cave) champagne, or a more Italian Bianco del Maestro Mastropietro White wine. All of them pair very well with their bites, but for me, the top winner is their organic raw matcha, for the first time, I really felt I was drinking the legit one, as it tasted so natural that you could really absorb all of its ingredients and tea flavoring.
Their handcrafted art offering is composed of delicate pieces of vases that vary from flower bases, tea servers, or useful bowls; all of them are offered for sale; which makes perfect sense to hold any of the colorful flower arrangments curated by Shingo’s flower girls.
ありがとう Shingo and team for taking us to the soul of Japan in the middle of Coral Gables.

Simply delicious! Having been to a number of omakase in Miami, this is one of the best! As many reviews have stated (eg Infatuation), it's no frills, but damn good! There's something special when the chef/owner is cutting the fish and serving you, which is not common these days. Here and Hidden would be my favorite!

It was great. Waiter from Hokaido, manager from Kyoto super nice they brought special matcha chocolate box because they found out we great celebrating a birthday. Pricey but worth it if you are stuck in Miami and want a good Japanese dining experience

SUMMARY: At this price point, STAY AWAY if you are used to traditional omakase in Japan or NYC!!! Lacks the intimacy and true omakase experience you will expect. They don't know if their identity is a high end intimate experience (decor and price) or a party omakase (batch produced sushi, 8 customers per chef, loud groups, flash photography allowed).
DETAILS:
1. HARD TO FIND - You can't easily find it from the street. You have to wander around the block to figure it out. The valet from the nearby French restaurant has to help you figure it out.
2. CHEF ATTENTION - If you have done higher end intimate omakases in Japan or NYC, you are used to an intimate customer to chef experience, where the ratio of customer to chef is usually 2-4 customers per chef. Here it is 8 customers to 1 chef. Very impersonal and leads to #3.
3. ASSEMBLY LINE SUSHI - Because of large customer to chef ratio, they don't take the care that other high end omakases do cut the fish in front of you and prepare the course. Since each chef has to prepare for so many people, they PRE-CUT / BATCH ALL THE FISH IN THE BACK and just do the final rice preparation in front of you. You see more sushi production sitting at a local sushi bar. Ridiculous. See photos.
4. NOT A QUIET OMAKASE - They sat a very loud group of people next to us. We couldn't hear ourselves, let along what the chef was saying about each course. At one point, a lady in the group was Facetiming someone at the table. No one said anything to them. Traditional omakases at expensive price points don't allow this, as it disturbs other customers.
5. FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED - The guy next to us brought in a big camera and a hand held flash! Every time we wanted to eat a course, he was pulling out that big ol flash so that he could get the "perfect" shot of the fish. No one said anything to him. Once again, ZERO CARE about the customer experience of others. See photo.
6. HIGH PRESSURE UPSELLING - I specifically sent a note prior to them saying I did not want alcohol. They proceed to have two separate people ask if we want the sake pairing. They also put this menu with prices of additional items in front of you near the end which is embarrassing at this price point and number of courses. Traditional omakeses rarely do this. Party ones do. Probably should've brought out a shot menu too.
7. CONFUSING THEME - They need to decide if they want to be a traditional omakase or a party omakase. The interior and sushi preparation wants to be traditional. You do not get the modern truffle, weird sauces, blow torch action here. That's completely fine and appropriate. But, then also do not allow the groups to also be super loud, use flashes, and make a party out of it. Decide how you want your restaurant atmosphere to be!

15 course tasting Japanese omakase, you can taste the freshness in every bite. Some of the best tuna you will have in Miami. The 2 chefs are in action right in front of you and 11 more people max. Big eaters will think it’s not enough food to fill the stomach. But you can alway order extra sashimi in the ones you liked. We ordered some extra O-toro, Chu-toro and the Unagi with caviar. It was so delicious.
