Hiden

The Taco Stand in Wynwood's back room houses Hiden, an upscale omakase counter. Now, just because we told you where it was doesn't mean you can just approach the door and request a seat. You must first make a reservation, which takes time. Hiden is completely booked for months in advance, thus the only chance to get a ressy is to keep an eye on its Instagram and seize a timeslot as soon as new seats become available.

The date of your future reservation, if you're lucky, two months from now, and you're in for a treat. You should have by now received the temporary, four-digit code needed to access the area. After typing it in and entering through the sliding door (while covertly taking a photo of yourself for Instagram), you'll be seated at an eight-seat sushi counter for two hours of made-to-order cuisine that will make you reconsider our local Japanese restaurant.

Hiden has seen a small number of chefs since it opened in March 2018. Chef Tetsuya Honda, a native of Japan who most recently worked at Azuki Sushi in San Diego, is currently in charge. Together with sous chef James Weinlein, who gained experience in kitchens like Alter and Azul, the two present a superb 15-course tasting menu that draws inspiration from various areas of Japan.
