Omakase dining is one of the most luxurious experiences. The perfectly curated meal is always in the hands of the chef, with its direct translation meaning, “I leave it up to you.”
Every chef offers a different experience for its diners, from as low as $26 to as high as $500 per person. Giving a glimpse into the luxurious multiple-course meal, we have put together a list of the best omakase menus that are under $100 in Miami.

Mr. Omakase has made their menu attainable for all types of diners. The menu offers two options under $100, with the 10-course omakase experience for $69 and the 14-course experience for $89. The 10-course offers options including a starter, the chef’s selection of sashimi, 5 pieces of nigiri, a handroll, a bowl of miso soup and a delicious dessert. The 14-course experience is very similar, although it has 8 pieces of nigiri and an additional chawanmushi, Japanese steamed egg custard. From new omakase diners to advanced, Mr. Omakase is impressive with every course.
