€€€€ • Sushi • Coral Gables
Mottai is a modern Japanese restaurant where technique, tradition, and Miami's multicultural energy meet. Our menu honors Japanese discipline through a lighter, ingredient-driven approach — designed for sharing and savoring. At our sushi counter, we offer nigiri, sashimi, maki, and temaki focused on premium seafood and seasonality. From Toro and Uni to the Hotate Caviar Temaki, every piece reflects a dedication to simplicity and craft. Beyond sushi, our menu spans cold and hot small plates, grill dishes, and table-side preparations like the Kinoko Hot Pot. Standouts include the Sugi Katsu with cobia and ponzu aioli, American Wagyu Rib-Eye with shiso tempura, and Mottai Crispy Chicken with pickled watermelon. Our cocktails offer refined classics with a Japanese twist, and desserts like the Mango Chawanmushi bring the meal to a memorable close. Set within a 150-seat space inspired by French Japonisme, Mottai offers an experience as beautiful as it is delicious.
