We came back to Jaya for Miami Spice Week because the menu looked wonderful, and it was a great way…read moreto try the cuisine while experiencing Jaya's stunning atmosphere and evening entertainment. The acrobatic shows began at 8:00 p.m., with additional performances at 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. The acrobat was graceful, mesmerizing, strong, and sexy. When we made our reservation, we also asked for a table with a good view of the show, and they accommodated us with a fantastic front-row view from one of the couches. It was so much better than our previous visit, when we were trying to peer around a pillar and across the restaurant to see the performance. If seeing the show is important to you, I definitely recommend requesting a table with a good view when you make your reservation. Before the show the DJ plays music. The volume was at a good level, loud enough to be fun but soft enough to be able to hear each other talk. Although the restaurant initially feels like an indoor space, the central courtyard is actually open-air with overhead coverings, so there is plenty of fresh air while still feeling sheltered. Tall palm trees, pools of water, couches, and traditional dining tables create a beautiful and distinctive atmosphere. Overhead fans kept the temperature surprisingly comfortable despite the Miami heat. For Miami Spice, we had the tuna tacos, miso branzino, and Milk Tea for dessert -- jasmine green tea crème brûlée with honey tea jelly and lychee sorbet. Dining at Jaya was one of the highlights of our trip to Miami. Delicious food, great service, a beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful entertainment made it much more than just dinner. We were very glad we came back.

Came in for the Caviar and Champagne brunch and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of food…read moreoptions. It's a buffet-style brunch where you go through sections and pick out what you want. They had traditional breakfast options-eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, fruit, and pastries to lunch/dinner options- burger, fries, chicken, lamb, sushi, pad thai, fried rice, and much more. They also had a dessert station which included- crepes, bread pudding, macaroons, various cakes, and the most delicious cinnamon rolls that we've ever had. The food was delicious! The ambiance was incredible. It is outdoors so you will need to prepare for the elements. We also had live music while we were there. Service was pretty great in the beginning, very attentive, but you could tell when the restaurant was starting to get busier, which meant our server was occupied for longer periods of time. It took us some time to get our server to bring the check. It's a 2-hour dining experience that you pay $110/person plus the 20% service charge but we ended up getting shuffled out about an hour and a half into it. I'm assuming she was the manager who was directing other staff to "get these people out of here" to our table and the surrounding tables next to us. Which the tables next to us sat after us, so they were there for even less time. So aside from the older woman, who I assume was a manager, everything else was great!

DO NOT GO HERE! Yue Chinese in South Beach is a major trap…read moreserving overpriced pre-fabricated food backed by predatory tipping practices and rude service. We came in with a group of 4. Average dish prices were around $30, which we didn't mind paying IF the food was cooked fresh. Sadly, almost everything tasted like it came out of a frozen bag: Pork Soup Dumplings: Lukewarm on arrival, skin was thick yet broke apart easily, no broth whatsoever inside, and the meat smelled off. Sichuan Spicy Chicken: Not real Laziji. They literally used cheap, fast-food-style chicken nuggets and fried them up. Boiled Beef: Clearly a pre-packaged frozen meal just reheated and brought to the table. Crab Meat Tofu: Oversalted and sitting in a puddle of water. To make matters worse, they added a 20% automatic gratuity onto our bill without any notice on the menu. Mind you, our server literally ignored us the entire night--we didn't get a single water refill. When we brought up the mandatory tip and lack of service, we were met with pure attitude: "It's like this everywhere around here, take it or leave it." Extremely disappointing food quality and appalling customer service. You are paying high-end prices for frozen meals and getting disrespect in return.

My friend and I were walking down Espanola Way looking for another appetizer/dinner option and saw…read morethis place and decided to try it out. First off, it was not busy at all and service was very slow. We ordered pork soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and beef dumplings. The shrimp dumplings were the best, the others were just okay. The pork soup dumplings did not have enough soup and the skins were dry. The beef ones were also a little dry but not too bad. It took a while to get the check. If you want Chinese food, it's a fine option, but there are better places in the area.

Ok, admittedly, it was a crazy night. Miami Miami'd the night we were there. People were acting out…read moreand wild, and it was a random Wednesday! But truly, it's that kind of excitement and life that allows a place like KYU to thrive. People want to be where the action is, and in terms of food - this is there the action is. We had the Chef's Special, and every single serving that was brought to us was a 5/5 experience! Our waitress was attentive and personal, without any sense of lingering or hovering at all. The staff did a good job of dealing with some of the rowdier patrons, and it was clear that this was not the norm, but some people looking for trouble with a bit too much of something in their system. I was impressed overall, and would absolutely go back next time I visit Miami. Probably a top 10 dinner experience!

Atmosphere was nice. Industrial speak easy kind of vibes…read more Went for the Miami Spice menu to give them a shot. Even with reservations they were a little slow in seating for a fairly empty restaurant (noon). Ordered drinks (tea $6 and coffee $5) then brunch. Seems like service coordination is very off. My spouse got the appetizer a good 15 minutes before mine. I had the biscuit, that was very tasty. The fruit, granola yogurt was good too. The main of crab Benedict was served, next although already cooled and the sauce a congealed. My main, after a good 30 minutes still had not arrived. Apparently a steak and eggs can be miscooked and they had redone it, never bothering to tell us. I did not try it there. Refills on the coffee were never offered. We took the steak and our cinnamon buns to go since we had been there long enough. The final kicker is they have an automatic 20% service charge in order to ensure the staff is paid enough. Seems like a business problem to me. Service was not up to that high of a standard. If you go during Miami Spice I hope they have figured out how to sequence the courses and get them to the table correctly while still hot.

The standouts were the sashimi which was delicious and buttery, the crispy rice rolls, the paperfish roll and the miso cod lettuce wraps which were five pieces in appetizer version.

They need to be a good sushi place to survive in this area but again like most places in the area charge 20% gratuity. This makes employees feel entitled and lose motivation to give good service. These are subsidies for the company to pay employees. The ambiance is actually good for this area. I would give 5 stars if the prices were more reasonable or if they actually had spectacular food. In any other city this would be decent sushi at half the price.

The waiter was super patient since we were ordering for a couple friends who were not there yet and who ended up arriving right before 7. The menu has several options to choose from, and the portions are great for the price. I liked all the sushi rolls that we ordered and loved the lychee martini. We sat outside so did not have to worry about the AC being too cold. It was nice to feel the Española way vibe, especially during the world cup since they did have a big screen showing the games.

Sushi Bichi is an answer to much of what ails the restaurant field in Miami. Unpretentious, vibey,…read morewarm, incredible value, great food. Everyone on the staff was smiley, friendly and helpful. The Happī Hour menu stands out as one of the best values in the area. I had 2 Classic Mojitos, Shrimp Cocktail, Lumpia Shanghai Roll, Pinoy BBQ Skewers and Kurobuta Corn Dogs from the Happī Hour menu. From the full menu, I had Salmon Tiradito, and the Chocolate Smores Cake a La Mode for dessert. Standouts for me were the Salmon Tiradito which had a beautiful presentation. It comes plated like a work of art with gooseberry, fresno chili, annatto oil, mustard oil, sea salt, white nikirisoy aioli. Wish I had taken a photo. This is the only place I ever order corn dogs (and I ALWAYS order them here) which are made with a Japanese sausage and come with a special spicy mustard that gives it an interesting, gourmet kick. Don't go heavy on the mustard if you're sensitive to spice. Hot! I am told the Chocolate Smores Cake a La Mode is inspired by the owner's son, and it is magnificently-plated and delicious. This is not the campfire version of S'mores. This is the haute cuisine version. You cannot beat Sushi Bichi on quality of food and experience for the price, especially during the Happī Hour which runs 4-6:30pm. You can walk onto the beach after your meal, if you'd like. It's right there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Parking tip: there is a large public lot on Collins Avenue around the corner that I've always found a spot in. Short walk to Sushi Bichi.

Food was 10 out of 10. Fresh, flavorful, balanced. Subtle and yet popped. The Sazeko roll (I think…read moreit was) was our favorite. The cilantro cream was a perfect touch. So good that we had to order a second roll. This is also the perfect opportunity to try some prime fish cuts, like otoro and chutoro. Ughhhh it melts in tour mouth. Octopus was also really great! Rainbow roll was also great. We also got the oyster mushroom skewer and the eggplant skewer. Eggplant skewer absolutely outshined the other one. Totally get the eggplant. Dessert was great! Matcha tres leches was a stunner. Mochi came with 4 flavors, banana, passion fruit, mango, and birthday cakes. Best was birthday cake and banana. Ralph was our server. Great presence. Down to earth. Seemed to be having a great time! Also this place qualified for the chase sapphire reserve $150 dining credit. And this place is absolutely worth raking up a bill!
