ELYU Omakase

A chef's-choice omakase spot in a unit on Ponce de Leon Blvd in Coral Gables, open Tuesday through Saturday evenings.

Checked November 2026

For a sushi dinner where you hand the menu over to the chef and settle in. The trade-off: the public details are thin, so you'll be confirming price and booking before you commit.

The rating that does the talking

ELYU sits at 4.9 from about 215 Google reviews, which is a small but very happy crowd. That's the strongest signal available, because the restaurant's own website says almost nothing about the food, the price or how many courses to expect. Omakase means the chef decides what you eat, piece by piece, so the format itself is the pitch. You give up choosing. In return, you get whatever the kitchen thinks is best that night.

Evenings only, five nights

Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday, 6 to 11:30 pm. Sunday and Monday it's closed, which catches people who plan a long-weekend splurge. The late close helps: you can book after a show or a slow drink elsewhere in the Gables and still sit down at a reasonable hour. Since omakase usually moves at the chef's pace rather than yours, don't stack anything tight after it. Give the night room and let the courses set the clock.

Finding Unit 3

The address is 2626 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Unit 3, so this is a door within a larger building on the Coral Gables stretch of Ponce, not a standalone storefront. Look for the unit number rather than a big sign. No price level is listed anywhere we checked, and the website offers no menu, so ask about cost when you book. That's normal for omakase, where the price tends to be fixed per person and set by the chef.
