Making Friends with Food
We opened our first Doraku Sushi location over 20 years ago in Miami Beach, Florida. Doraku Sushi is a restaurant, bar and gathering place that celebrates Japanese food, drink, and hospitality. The experience is modeled after an Izakaya, or Japanese gastropub and features food meant to be shared and experienced in the company of others. The decor embraces Japanese works of art, styles and culture. It’s a place to have fun with friends or to unwind after a long day at work.
This is Doraku Sushi
Izakaya Japanese Dining
Welcome to our Izakaya, otherwise known as a Japanese gastropub.It is a place to share stories with friends, unwind after work, or just eat and drink good food. You’ll find traditional Japanese plates along with dishes infused with international flavors. Our chef will tantalize your taste buds bite after bite.
Taking You on a Journey
Kevin Aoki’s attention to detail designs his Doraku Sushi with decor that embraces Japanese tradition and style. From handmade wooden tables from Indonesia to authentic traditional sake barrels, you are transported to an authentic traditional Japanese Izakaya scene.
Blended Culture
Fusion and Traditional
The menu is grounded in the use of traditional ingredients and flavors. Our master chefs draw out the flavors of each ingredient using sauces and techniques that have been passed down through the generations. Doraku Sushi has an uncompromising standard of excellence such as the careful selection of fish for our sushi from local and global markets, where it is immediately packed in ice and sent daily to our restaurants.

Share the Experience
Give the Gift of Aoki
The motto, “Make good friends through great food,” was coined by Kevin Aoki’s Grandfather, Yunosuke Aoki, the first in the Aoki family to open a restaurant. A great way to do this is by giving an Aoki Group gift card to friends, family, and colleagues. They are easy to purchase either online or in any participating restaurant and redeemable at most Aoki Group restaurants or cafes in the United States.
