SU SHIN IZAKAYA

Su Shin Izakaya is an authentic Japanese eatery that serves inventive Japanese cuisine, such as sushi, unique small plates, and more, in a utilitarian setting at 159 Aragon Ave.

In 1977, Chika and Yasuko Abe opened Su-Shin, the first conventional and genuine Japanese eatery, in Miami. They incorporated those influences at Su-Shin, fusing Japanese cuisine with the principles of macrobiotic cooking, which promotes health and vitality through a clean and highly restricted diet without dairy, refined sugars, processed foods, or meat. They had experience cooking macrobiotic food at the Kushi Center in Boston. The restaurant was originally situated in Coconut Grove, where Mayfair is now, but it was relocated to North Miami in 1979, just off the 79th Street causeway.

The restaurant, which sat at the base of the first bridge connecting the islands, was furnished primarily with handcrafted furniture and accents. The majority of the macrobiotic options were taken off the menu, and instead we concentrated on classic dishes like teriyaki, tempura, sukiyaki, sushi, and sashimi. Since most people had never tried raw fish, it was novel and unusual at the time. Local fishermen either delivered the fish on their way home, bought it from the city pier (where Bayside currently towers), or caught it themselves. We opened locations in Kendall, North Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale when the restaurant proved a hit.

In a strip mall across from the channel seven station, a few kilometers from the original Su-Shin, we also opened the first Asian speciality market. In the late 1980s, we made the decision to expand and challenge the dining public with a more creative and specialized menu that featured the kinds of food frequently served in Japanese gastropubs or Izakayas. In Japan, businessmen and women who are heading home after a long day frequent izakayas. There are frequently several daily specials, grilled seafood, and an abundance of beer and sake. Su-Shin Izakaya serves all of that in addition to a variety of other dishes including curry rice and street cuisine like okonomiyaki and yakisoba that are flown in from Japan.

Over the years, their family of eateries has grown to include Lan Pan Asian Café, which introduced south Miami to pan Asian cuisine and has the first bubble tea bar in the neighborhood, Lan Ramen-Ya, which specializes in authentic and inventive Ramen noodle soups, and Lan Halo Halo Snack Shack, which is slated to open in the latter half of summer 2020 and will serve Asian ice desserts and Filipino sweets. We strive to satisfy your Asian cravings in whichever way you need us to.
