Located at 11293 S. Dixie Highway, Pinecrest, FL 33156, the restaurant began welcoming guests in August with a soft opening. Mayor Joseph M. Corradino, alongside Village officials, joined owner and executive chef Adrián Argüelles for the ceremony as Pinecrest celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Following the ceremony, guests experienced the restaurant's contemporary setting and sampled Japanese Nikkei-inspired specialties. Passed bites included sushi rolls, sashimi, tiraditos, pork belly ceviche and other creations blending Japanese culinary techniques with Peru's vibrant flavors.

A New Chapter for a Familiar Culinary Name

The Pinecrest opening builds on the success of Miyako Doral, which Argüelles has operated in Doral for over 12 years. He co-owns the Pinecrest location with Paublo Vecino and brings years of contemporary sushi bar experience and an international culinary perspective shaped by travels across Asia, South America and Europe.

His culinary philosophy combines Japanese precision and craftsmanship with Peru's fresh, citrus-forward flavors and distinctive ingredients, including aji peppers and lime. This fusion forms the foundation of Japanese Nikkei cuisine, balancing tradition, creativity and bold flavors.

"Opening Miyako Doral in Pinecrest is an exciting new chapter for us," said Argüelles. "We are proud of the relationships we have built over the years and look forward to welcoming the Pinecrest community to experience our approach to Japanese Nikkei cuisine. Our goal is to create a place where guests can enjoy exceptional food, gather with friends and family, and feel at home every time they visit."
