Had a reservation, but it was quiet and easy to get seated around 5-5:30pm on Saturday night for us. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the seating was comfortable. Everything we ordered, except the quail, was amazing. The quail was a little gamey and charred tasting. The big eye tuna roll, Japanese fried chicken, and duck scrapple bao stood out for me as being especially good. Don't skip the vegetables when ordering your robatayaki - the asparagus and mushrooms were awesome. I would definitely visit again to try some of the other items. read more

Firstly, this Happy hour is insane. Love an upscale venue with a generous happy hour, especially when trying them out. Blown away by the friendly service (Mariam was our server) and accommodation, and the portion sizes for happy hour food is honestly one of the best deals Ive seen. $8 sake, $8 kimchi fried rice (its supposed to be a shrimp fried rice but it only came with like 2 shrimpies lol) & $9 karaage (about 6-7 pcs). All super hearty, hot and wholesome. Friend had the hh sushi, 6pc shrimp tempura, although they put their own twist on it with some mayo which im sure was well intentioned but just didnt really mesh well as a whole in the roll lol The carafe the sake came in was an interesting little contraption too. Only down side, wish they had a hh gin cocktail option. Aesthetic is dim, with sexy mood lighting without it being overbearing. Perfect for lounging. read more

Double Knot - Happy hour bites: shrimp fried rice & karaage, & a carafe of HH sake - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

It's hard to believe there aren't more izakayas in Miami. The concept is small dishes to go with drinking beer. Since we have great pubs, tapas joints and spoiled with great happy hour menus, you would think the Japanese slant would only add to both the offer and variety of choices. I loved my experience at Double Knot. The place is gorgeous with a deco/regency vibe that seems lit by Kubrick. The attractine new Wynwood crowd looks even nicer in this setting. My friend and I tried several things on the happy hour menu, and for the quality, it was a steal. As we all eat more protein these days, the robatayaki is phenomenal. Everything seemed to be carefully grilled over special wood coals (hinoki?). The chicken thighs had a richness that was contrasted by the bitterness of the charred edges. I had just come back from Taiwan, so I had to have the pork bao which is more cantonese than Japanese, but who's counting? With this execution, and good times, we don't need to be purists. We also tried the spicy tuna roll which had lovely pieces of fresh fish on them. Our waiter was very attentive and gave us dedicated attention. We vowed to come back and only go there when it as his shift. I'm excited about going back and trying items from the main menu. read more

So good! Starting with the Alpine Knot cocktail it was good. All food we got was also good - tuna tartare, wagyu dumplings, chutoro, tenderloin, and mushroom fried rice. The item that stole the show was the miso caramel soft serve!! This was so good read more

Let me tell you about one my favorite happy hours in all of Miami. This place is so good the first few times I went I didn't even bother to wait to take photos. The flavors are next level and robust. The ambiance creates such an intimate vibe whether you are on a date, with a group, or enjoying a solo moment at the bar. (Yes I've done all 3). Do not skip the Edamame dumplings, the short rib skewer, or the fried chicken. The Spice Knot and is a smooth and spicy margarita that hits every time. (Honorable mention for the water knot even though I'm a tequila guy) The fact that this happy hour is everyday is the cherry on top. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a few months. The food was good but there are definitely better places in Miami, especially for the price. What completely ruined the experience was the service. The server in the photo, I believe his name is Zoe, started clearing our table, and I asked him not to take a small plate with sauce. Instead of just leaving it, he completely dropped all the plates he was removing from our table and then ignored us afterward, clearly upset that I had asked him to leave the sauce. My partner and I were very confused and uncomfortable with the situation. Another server had to step in, apologize, and take over our table. At the end of the meal, after we had paid, the manager came over, apologized, took our number, and promised to follow up with a complimentary meal. That never happened, which made the apology feel empty and insincere. It would have been better not to offer anything at all than to say something and never follow through. Overall, the experience was not worth the time or money. It's sad because bad servers and poor management completely ruin what could be a good meal. Serving means delivering good customer service and a positive experience, and if that can't be done, proper training or hiring a different person is necessary. If you want good sushi and even better service, go to Uchi -- it's literally half a block away from Double Knot read more

Double Knot - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Another hyped-up Wynwood spot that's overpriced and seriously underdelivers on both quality and service. We stopped in on a Friday around 7pm and were surprised they had a table available which, in hindsight, should've been a clue. The space itself is nice, but unfortunately that's where the positives end. The restaurant describes itself as modern Japanese, which here seems to translate to low-quality fish, sloppy rolls, and nigiri that literally fall apart when you try to pick them up. Nothing we ordered stood out. The uni and ikura were skimpy, poorly presented, and lacked freshness. Service was equally disappointing. Despite the restaurant being only lightly occupied and having plenty of staff on the floor, dishes came out painfully slow and completely out of sequence, as if no one bothered to look at the order as a whole. The cod rice was greasy and flavorless, and the mushroom rice wasn't any better. Overall, the experience didn't match the price point. With so many genuinely great options in Miami, this is one we won't be returning to. read more

Wow! Absolutely delicious, we went to do Miami spice. We had so many stuff to choose from. We got octopus, eggplant, mushroom gyoza and shrimp tacos as well"appetizers" basically. We had black cod rice and branzino which also was soooo yummy! The service was fantastic, our waitress was so sweet and explained the menu to us. I wish I could remember her name. The place is gorgeous inside, really sets the tone. I would definitely come back here. Wow wow wow! read more

Double Knot - Himachi special sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Visited Double Knot on a late Saturday afternoon hoping to get a table for 2. Unfortunately they were fully booked so we sat at the bar but still had an amazing experience. The ambiance is very intimate and classy. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The only dish I did not enjoy was the black cod fried rice. It lacked flavor and the rice was very mushy. Overall, I still can't wait to go back for dinner but with a reservation next time around. read more

One of the best meals I've had in months. The service, ambiance, and quality of food was spectacular. I'd go tomorrow if I didn't already have reservations elsewhere. We had a range of happy hour and dinner menu items, including: karage, ribeye, wagyu soup dumplings, edamame dumplings, short rib, and wasabi chirashi. Everything was well seasoned, made with love, and with getting seconds on. Can't recommend it enough. read more

Beautiful restaurant-- sleek and sexy. Big, backlit bar. Perfect date spot but came here with some of my girlfriends. A little disappointed that if you do Miami spice, everyone at the table has to choose the same dishes. So we decided to just order our own things. Have to subtract a point for our waiter, she wasn't friendly, looked a bit withdrawn and lost, didn't have a great personality, maybe she was having a bad day. The food was really good though! I like how things come out speedy quick and as its ready. You can order as you go, and order as much as you want. We started with the tuna cracker, which is basically like tuna crispy rice. Very good. My favorite was the cheesesteak bao! The restaurant originated in Philly, so they know cheesesteak! The cherry pepper relish paired so nice with it-- it was basically a fancy ketchup! get this! The pork gyoza is okay but you need to get the wagyu dumplings they were some of the best ive ever had. Pretty much all of the robatayaki were good! they are small skewers that you purchase a la carte. The eggplant you can skip. The kobe beef and the ribeye were moist and tasty. YOU MUST GET THE SCALLOPS with the lemon wedge -- so juicy and flavorful. THe mushroom fried rice was okay but i could skip it. MY friend had the fried chicken for the main and liked it. We had a spicy scallop roll which was good but i could skip it. For dessert, we had the miso caramel soft serve which was so good but they need to freeze the bowls prior because ours was half melted. I definitely would come back for the skewers, bao, and wagyu dumplings! and def the SCALLOPS read more

Double Knot - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Terrible decision. Had 9pm reservation on a Friday night. Got there at 9pm. They told us to wait on the side. 30 minutes past and nothing. The place was slammed. If they couldn't handle more reservations, why do they offer it on the website?? We walked up to the host and ask how much longer and they said 15 minutes or maybe longer. We left. They didn't even make an attempt to accommodate us. Will definitely not be going back there again. Somebody should be doing a better job on their website with the reservations. read more

OH MY GOSH! One of the best cuisines I've tried to date! I went during happy hour, which is from 5 PM to 7 PM and tried a variety of happy hour food items and they were all delicious. Inside it's a very dark atmosphere, but it is a vibe. The food came out very fast and everything tasted extremely good. I would definitely recommend trying their happy hour menus because you get to try a lot of their menu items for a cheaper price. The only thing I will say is that the ribs were extremely small. They were very flavorful, but very small. read more

Wow this experience was amazing. My girlfriend and I went here for my birthday and we were amazed at the tastiness of the food.

I have been here for happy hour twice. The ambiance of the restaurant is great, the food is good. The service is only good if you get a server that knows what they are doing and actually care about giving good service. Took 15-20 minutes to get our drinks and had gotten 5/6 of our hh items before the drinks were brought to us (as a former server of 10 years I was frustrated watching the server give the two tables sat immediately after us their drinks 10 minutes before ours were on their way to us and also have a whole conversation with one of those tables then go and make one of the people at the table their second drink and immediately deliver it to him before ours were delivered). The server had told us the wing robotayaki had no bones but when we bit in there were. Once asking the other bartender if they were supposed to have bones he told us yes. Upon notifying our server about this mix up so she wouldn't make that mistake again she seemed straight up confused. Can be a good spot if you're feeling lucky and think you can get a good server, if not then I would avoid this place and take yourself to one of the many other sushi restaurants in Miami. read more

Everything was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Paul was our waiter and his attention and recommendations were amazing.

This spot blends izakaya vibes with elevated sushi and robatayaki offerings, and I think it mostly lives up to that promise. The interior is a mish-mosh of art deco, modern ranch and not sure what else. Pick a lane and own it. Also would have been nice to do some sort of nod to Japanese of Kanso or Shizen. This was a bit gaudy and Im sure when you turn on full ights or see it in natural light it would feel cheap. Also get better containers (not cheap plastic) for soy and other condiments. What I loved: The menu is creative. We tried a mix of sashimi, grilled skewers, and a few robata items. Everything was beautifully plated, and the flavors were generally on point. ChiChi, our waitress was attentive without being overbearing. She checked in enough to make sure we were happy. Only thing which was wierd is that the Shihito peppers came way late and last of all dishes, would hve liked it with other apps or side dishes. Dessert was a highlight: the house‑made miso caramel ice cream is a clever, lighter finish that keeps with the restaurant's Japanese‐fusion tone. What could be better / things to note: It's not inexpensive. Some dishes feel steep for the portion size, so I'd recommend going with a small group so you can sample more without committing to just one entrée. A couple of items were slightly underseasoned (or perhaps more mild than expected) -- I wish they offered more bold / spicy options or customization (extra sauce, etc.). We sat nearing the bar area, rec is to make a separate space, whether build a wall or have a screen that differentiates bar with bar seating. The drink offerings (cocktails, sake etc.) were decent, though I thought they had room to expand the selection further -- especially for pairing with grilled / smoky items. Overall impression: Double Knot Miami is a strong addition to Wynwood's dining scene. It doesn't quite hit perfection, but it delivers on style, creativity, and flavor. I'd go back, especially when in the mood for Japanese / izakaya cuisine with a twist. read more

I don't know how, but I forgot to take a single picture! But wow -- this place is amazing. Came for dinner with some friends and we ordered a bunch of items to try, and everything was delicious.

We also shared a few recommended rolls and they were fantastic. Honestly, everything on the menu is amazing. read more

Besides the amazing food and beautiful ambiance--which honestly gives me a bit of an Apotheke vibe--the service is what truly makes this place stand out. Nez is an exceptional server. His knowledge, professionalism, energy, and genuine hospitality elevate the entire dining experience. Coming from someone with a hospitality background, I can confidently say that people like Nez are rare. He brings that extra touch that turns a great meal into a memorable experience. He is an absolute gem and a true asset to the team. I will definitely be back. read more

I was so looking forward to trying out this restaurant, but was slightly disappointed. Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the friendly host and helped to our table. I absolutely loved the main indoor room. It was the typical Miami vibe with cool comfy booths, aesthetic bar/lounge area, and sushi bar. Unfortunately we got sat in the back room, which was less aesthetic, but not a big deal, and I'm not complaining about that. As for service, it took a little while to be greeted by our server, which was okay as the place was pretty packed. He asked us if we'd ever been to any double knot location before and we said no and he gave us a short 5 second explanation basically saying it was like tapas and the food comes out as it's ready. We immediately ordered drinks and then he went away. We took the time before he returned to look over the menu and decide which items we would pick for the chefs tasting menu. Now here is where things get displeasing. This server never at one point informed us that you are only allowed to order one tasting menu per table, despite it saying per person on the menu, so we had picked 2 of everything thinking we would each order our own 10 items. Upon him coming to take our order (we still had not received our drinks) he informed us that we could only order one. We told him we would need more time to decide and to come back. Upon him coming back again, we tried to order the A5 beef and he informed us it's not part of the tasting menu, which was never mentioned before or notated on the menu. Not a big deal we just picked our backup choice but i was getting slightly frustrated how this man has failed to inform us of anything regarding how this restaurant operates. We still had not gotten our drinks at this point and it had been more than 30 minutes. I reminded him and he made some excuse about the bar being backed up and left to put our food order in. Coincidentally, we got our drinks 5 minutes later (he definitely forgot to ring our drinks in). After that, the food started coming out pretty quickly. I now understood why they only let you order 1 per table because the portion sizes were huge! When you think of a tasting menu you think of a legit taste of the food, but these were full blown portion sizes. We struggled to finish all the food, and even the table next to us agreed that they couldn't finish everything either. Some of the food was good, like the fried chicken and the robatayaki, but everything else was pretty sub par. The sushi was some of the worst I've ever had in Miami. The fatty tuna nigiri was such bad quality. I was pretty disappointed in the food, it was nothing special. The drinks also weren't anything to rave about. I will say they brought us 2 food items for free without us saying anything/asking which was nice, but we were so full we only accepted 1 and had to send the other one away. I feel like this place is very misleading. It says $68 per person for the tasting menu but only 1 is allowed per table, so what if there is a table of 6? Do they get bigger portion sizes? Do they get to order more than 1? There's no information on how they run and it gives scammy vibes. Overall, I probably won't return here. I feel there's much better sushi restaurants in Miami. read more

This place is INCREDIBLE! I definitely recommend doing the chef tasting as you can pick out 10 selections + a soft serve for $68/pp. Notable things I loved on the menu: the wagyu soup dumplings, the edamame dumplings, the ribeye robatayaki, the broiled sea bass, the scallop, and the foie gras sushi! The service was okay but only because I felt like the waiter did not really explain the chef's selection we had many questions and were confused but glad we finally figured it out cause the food was delicious. read more

Double Knot surprised me so much. I randomly kept seeing it on my socials and figured...let's try it out! It's a hidden gem in Wynwood with gorgeous decor, classy atmosphere and excellent food. The price point is what got us extremely reeled in. We chose the blind chef's testing menu and our server, Bruno did incredible!! For the amount of food you get, the price is more than worth it. Everything was super fresh, packed with flavor, and plated beautifully. My favorites were the cod fried rice, wagyu soup dumplings, and the kobe beef! Definitely recommend, top 3 dining experience in Miami for sure. read more

Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience at this restaurant. I went a day after it opened and it was pretty empty. The waitress was terrible -- slow, incorrect orders. The Edamame Dumplings and Spicy Tuna Roll were both great. The happy hour menu is great. I waited an hour for the Spicy Baked Scallop & Crab, which was half freezing cold. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was inedible, but the restaurant did not do anything about it. For the prices, I expected a much better experience like I witnessed in Philly. read more

Wow wow wow! Best meal I have had in a long time, and the place is beautiful. For starters, the service was great. The chef made an exception and said since 3/5 of us were doing the tasting, he would allow it, when usually it has to be the whole table. Never hurts to ask! They served me a perfectly chilled dirty martini with just the right amount of olive juice. But the best part of this whole place is the tasting menu. If you order 5 or 6 items you will spend more than the $68 the tasting menu costs, and the tasting menu gets you 10 courses plus dessert. Here's what we had- - a tuna sushi roll - delicious - hamachi crudo - melts in your mouth - octopus carpaccio - good, not great - steak skewer - great - salmon skewer - no big deal - wagyu soup dumplings - some of the best soup dumplings I've ever had, WOW - scallop entree - delicious, huge pieces - filet mignon entree - perfectly cooked and tender - mushroom fried rice - oh my god i could not stop eating this! So flavorful - fried chicken - huge portion, juicy, yum - ice cream - salted miso caramel & coconut chocolate, incredible. Go for the swirl! I will come back here again and again. 10/10, no notes. read more

i was excited to try this place for a long time and when i finally did, it just did not hit for me. everything we ordered was on the salty side, and as a result, there were no standout dishes that we truly enjoyed. the vibe is pretty nice which a beautifully decorated room and good volume level of music playing. the servers were attentive and making sure everything was to our liking. we ended up cutting our meal short and finishing elsewhere. read more

My experience was terrible! Very mad service. Tiny portions, over price! Drinks arrived an hour after my food arrived. The server was in another planet.

Really tasty. Never come back. read more

Had an awesome dinner at Double Knot. The space has a really cool New York vibe--cozy, warm, and full of little design details that make it feel special. We went with the Chef's Tasting and honestly, everything was solid. A few highlights: - Eye Tuna Roll - Crispy Tuna - Kobe Beef - Chicken Karage - Wild Mushroom Gyoza - Truffle Mushroom Fried Rice (so much truffle, couldn't get enough) - Short Rib Robatayaki Dessert was a perfect finish--miso caramel soft serve and mango mochi ice cream. We also had some Prosecco and Champagne at the table and a smooth anejo tequila on the side. But the real highlight of the night was our server, Paul. He was super kind, patient, and just had great energy. You could tell he genuinely cared and wanted us to have a good time. That made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend for a fun night out with great food and great vibes. Will be back! read more

YUMMY!!! Great new spot in Wynwood- elevated, affordable, tasty, attentive This place is G R E AT- at only 3 weeks old the service was impeccable and well trained. Dishes were perfectly prepared and left me wanting more with the small shareable portions. As a swim week model o appreciate the variety and quality of healthy food here- nothing is smothered in sauce and everything feels so healthy and good on the tummy. Drinks were DELICIOUS!! And the pricing of everything was super reasonable. I will definitely be back soon to try the chefs 10 course special for $68. Ambiance is super great and is nice for a date or friends dinner. read more

I'm writing this review from the table right now. My friends and I arrived around 9:00 PM and didn't get seated until 9:30. We ordered from the Miami Spice menu, which we were told allowed us to choose one item from each section -- starting with cold dishes, then meat, then fish, and so on. The server made it seem like each of us would get our own portion from each selection. To our surprise, we were given one tiny portion to share between the three of us -- barely enough to feed a child. On top of that, it took roughly 25 minutes between each course to receive these miniature plates. The portions were absolutely nothing like the menu implied. As for the food itself? Mediocre at best. The octopus tasted like it had just been defrosted, the Kobe beef was nearly raw, and the fried chicken was worse than KFC. Ambience-wise, the entrance sets a good first impression -- dim lighting, classy vibes, and nice music. The bar is beautiful, and the drinks are well-priced. Unfortunately, we were seated in a back section that felt like an afterthought, more like a dressed-up fast food joint than part of the main restaurant. Overall, I wouldn't waste your time here. If you're actually hungry and want a proper meal, go somewhere else. This place is not worth the money. read more

TERRIBLE experience. We had come here when they first opened and everything was amazing. Service, food, and drinks. We came back today with our group of friends. We had a reservation for 10 pm but we decided to come 40 minutes early to relax and have some drinks before our dinner. When we walk in to let them know we are there the manager, Jovan Fitzgerald Duncan, told us to come back until 10 pm to let them know, so we made our way to the bar to sit down and wait. At 10 pm we went back to let them know, again, and they said they would sit us shortly. At 10:15 pm we talked to the manager again and he said to wait a second because they were still waiting for the table to get up. At 10:30 we went back up to speak to the hostess and they said they were still waiting. I asked her for how much longer did we have to wait if we already had a reservation was for 10pm. She called the same manager again and his response was "well you shouldn't come here an hour early because you think you are waiting earlier". I responded by saying that it doesn't matter if I came early if my reservation was at 10 pm. He proceeded to ARGUE with all of us and make it seem like we were in the wrong. He wouldn't even let us finish our sentences and kept cutting us off. We had to leave because his attitude after spending $300 on drinks at the bar. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE unless you're trying to wait even after making a reservation and if you want to get verbally abused by the manager. I will never go back until they change management. When they do, please give me a call read more
