Sushi Siam - Aventura

We had visitors from overseas and so took them to the Teppan-Yaki Bar at Aventura for dinner. The food was fantastic; our chef Jimmy was the best. The waitress was terrible however, she only brought us half our drinks and everything else seemed to be trouble. The problem I have is that as we were leaving she ran outside and started chasing us to our car. My husband saw her and jumped back up the escalator, where she told him our tip was not enough! We have both been in the hospitality business and we were under the impression that the tip reflects the quality of the service, not what the waitress decides is ;enough ;. If we were in any other country she would have deserved absolutely nothing, but tipping is customary here and the tip we left for her was more than enough by any standards. I am still in shock that she came running out after us, there were still people sitting at our table waiting for dessert! We felt like criminals. Unfortunately we did love the food at Sushi Siam but we will never go there for dinner again.

I'm not a cuisine expert but I just wanted to say that for me the best Japanese restaurant in Miami is Sushi Siam in Aventura Mall. My husband and I go there every single weekend, they have a great variety of food and they make the best rolls; you should try Dragon roll!

When I spoke to the manager about the situation, despite all the inconveniences, he didn’t offer any discounts or coupons. Instead of apologizing, he suggested I should have approached him earlier. I replied, “Earlier? It just happened!” I will never return to this restaurant again.

As for the food, it didn't sit well with me—I ended up in the bathroom three times that evening. We also ordered a dessert, a crème brûlée from Catalonia, which they claim to serve here. Unfortunately, what we received was a joke. They should really have someone from Spain teach them how to make a proper one before putting it on the menu. I will definitely not be coming back here, and I can't recommend this place to anyone.

The food is excellent, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. What more could you ask for?
