Coral Way is getting a 10-seat Edomae omakase restaurant this week, joining Miami's growing lineup of high-end sushi counters. Takay opens Friday, July 10, with a 17-course tasting menu priced at $250 per person.

Takay, a 10-seat Edomae omakase counter at 2296 Coral Way, opens Friday, July 10, with a 17-course tasting menu priced at $250 per person.

The intimate chef's-counter format is rare in the Coral Gables corridor, according to FSR Magazine, which described Takay as one of Miami's most limited fine-dining concepts.

Glen Kotlyarski and Yoni Matz founded the concept together. Kotlyarski, who leads the kitchen, spent more than 20 years in Japanese fine-dining kitchens, including stints with the Jean-Georges Group and at Hiden, the one-Michelin-star omakase counter in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood. Matz brings an operations background from restaurant groups across Canada and, before hospitality, trained in astrophysics.

The 800-square-foot space was designed by Japan-based architecture firm KTX archiLAB. Guests walk through a small Zen garden before reaching the counter, where a curved ceiling installation made from layered Japanese hinoki wood evokes Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Hinoki also appears in the sushi counter, shelving, and latticework. Shoji-style rice paper panels line the walls, and coral stone sourced in South Florida is used throughout.

Seafood is flown in from Japan and seasonal produce comes from local farms, according to the restaurant's opening announcement.

The name is adapted from the Japanese word takai, meaning "high" or "elevated," and is pronounced "tuh-KAI."

@DJXXavier: "Our Miami sushi restaurant project is officially opening!"

KTX archiLAB's principal, 松本哲哉 (Tetsuya Matsumoto), posted the confirmation on X on Tuesday, July 8, calling the project part of the firm's international portfolio.

Takay will operate Wednesday through Sunday with two seatings each night, at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Reservations are available through SevenRooms.
