Zagat Naoe. Food: 29, Decor: 23, Service: 28, Cost: VE. I can't believe this exists in Miami since it would be outstanding even in Japan gush fans of this teeny 17-seat Sunny Isles Beach star, rated the city's stops for Food; Kevin Cory's creative omakase meals include a bento box revelation and impossibly good sushi, all presented with warm, personal care by charming manager Wendy Maharlika; it's not cheap (price varies accoding to the day's offerings and how many courses you opt for), but it's so worth it - just book well in advance (two seatings, Wednesday-Sunday); P.S. it plans to relocate to Brickell Key in early 2012.
