In a city known for bold flavors and over-the-top design, Sora by Hotel Collection still manages to surprise. Tucked in Wynwood, Sora is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience. Think world-class omakase, live DJ sets, a Japanese listening lounge, and a curated retail space. All in one place.
This isn’t your usual dinner reservation. It’s a dining experience plus everything you didn’t know you were craving.
The Food: Omakase, Caviar, and A5 Wagyu
At the center of it all is Chef Bee, the culinary mind behind Miami favorites like Naiyara and Oishi Thai. His omakase menu brings delicious precision and plenty of play. Expect melts-in-your-mouth sashimi, A5 wagyu, caviar-topped hand rolls, and seasonal bites that change weekly.
Notable must-tries? The wagyu A5 tartare, the caviar service, and anything that arrives on a black ceramic plate with Chef Bee’s signature stamp of approval.
The Vibe: Calm Beats, Dim Lights, and Sake Cocktails
Sora transitions effortlessly from high-end omakase bar to after-hours hangout. The listening lounge is the heart of that shift. Picture this: low lighting, plush seating, curated playlists, and cocktails crafted for sipping, not rushing.
It’s the kind of place that invites you to stay awhile, layered with curated beats, ambient lighting, and just the right amount of Wynwood energy.
The Events: Sushi Classes, Tuna Ceremonies, and Midweek Bubbly
Sora also leans toward events in all the right ways. The weekly lineup includes Caviar & Bubbly Wednesdays, where guests can enjoy 1oz of premium caviar and two glasses of bubbly for $59 or elevate the evening with a 12-course omakase pairing for $139. It’s indulgent, elegant, and just the right kind of midweek celebration.
Sushi-making classes with Chef Bee are hosted monthly or bi-monthly, offering a rare chance to learn from one of Miami’s best while sipping wine and mastering the art of the perfect roll.
And for those who crave spectacle, keep your eye out for the return of Sora’s Bluefin Tuna Cutting Ceremony—a high-demand event that blends culinary precision with pure drama. The first two sold out fast, and whispers say the next one may happen in May.
The Takeaway
Sora is a space that feels curated from every angle. It’s a multi-sensory hideaway for people who love food, design, and detail. Come for the omakase, stay for the music, and leave with a handpicked bottle of wine to take the experience home.
