After months of having it on my "places to try" list, plus a failed attempt at dinner one day, I finally made it to Yoso Sushi in Upper Buena Vista.
Why it matters: Amid Miami's expansive (and usually expensive) omakase and hand roll scene, the small, six-seat sushi bar offers really great rolls at an affordable price — especially during happy hour.
What we ordered: The salmon crispy rice ($10): perfect crispy rice-to-heap-of-salmon ratio.
- Cucumber kimchi ($6): spicy but refreshing.
- Butter krab roll ($10): buttery texture, full of flavor.
- We also ordered a few Orions, a Japanese rice lager ($5).
The intrigue: The Basque-style cheesecake may take you by surprise, but it might be one of Miami's best.
The verdict: I'll definitely be back for a regular dinner service to try more rolls and other dishes (and whatever seasonal cheesecake they have on hand).
