    Causa - potatoes with either tuna or chicken
    Maria A.

    What can I say s our the Peruvian Cuisine. I love it. This place did not disappoint. Small place, a little short of staff at least during lunch rush. We started with the Causa Appetizer, first time ever ordering this dish. Made with a bottom layer of mash potatoes, a tuna mixture with onions and probably mayonnaise and a top layer of mash potatoes. Throw on some white cream (not sure what it is). Our entre was beef soup, look at the size of the bowl. It was pretty big. The soup had vegetables, and big chunks of beef and lots of delicious broth. Overall it was a very good casual dining experience.

    Ceviche

    This is a ceviche i ordered, expecting it to be fresh fish just like last time, and unfortunately i am very disappointed because it's very hard fish to chew on, the sturdiness of it made it unappetizing. Never did i have a problem ordering from here, my family orders from here all the time but the last few times it's been the same sad disappointing dish. Not worth the $15 if you ask me.

    Bread and green sauce
    Ericka G.

    Came here for a great lunch and left so full. This restaurant is down the street from work so it's very convenient. The place is bigger than the impression it gives off from the outside and is self seating. Being that I have a crush on Peruvian food I knew which direction I wanted to take. I looked over the menu and saw they had pollo saltado. Love these dish so ordering was fast. While we waited we had fresh hot rolls with one of my favorite sauces, the green sauce. It was spicy and way better then just slapping some butter on it. When our dishes finally arrived I had built up a nice hunger and looked forward to chowing down. The dish winded up being good but my chicken was a little dry and I could've used more sauce. I'm a sauce person though so it may just have been me. My fries were still crunchy,rice perfectly cooked and the grilled onions and tomatoes went well. Altogether I did enjoy my lunch dish and would definitely come back. My only complaint is that they took a little longer then I would've liked to bring our bill (I was on my lunch break)but still the food was delicious.

    Bavarios dessert! Its so delicious and fluffy!
    Elisabeth T.

    My favorite Peruvian joint so far. I love the mix ceviche here. The sauce is tangy and made just how I like it. Portion is good too. Macho pescado is delicious. You must try the bavarios dessert here. It's so fluffy! I can eat the whole dessert all by myself. Yes, I am a sucker for delicious desserts. Service was excellent. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Don't eat the ceviche there! They advertise corvina at higher price, but serve you a cheap fish, probably Swai. As chewy as gum, gross!

    AMAZING!!! This spot…read morehas quickly become a new favorite of mine. As someone who follows a plant-based lifestyle, it's not always easy finding Latin restaurants that don't use animal products in their beans, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they don't. And when I tell you these are the BEST restaurant beans I've ever had, I mean it. WOW. We actually discovered this place by accident two weeks ago when the restaurant we originally planned to visit was closed on a Monday. We needed something nearby, so I jumped on Yelp, saw the great reviews, and decided to give it a try. I wasn't expecting much, but I was completely impressed. Everything we've tried has been simple, fresh, and delicious. The Ensalada Turca is my favorite and an absolute must-try. The jugo de mora is incredibly refreshing, and the sopa de frijoles with rice and maduros hit the spot so much that I ordered it both visits. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive, always making sure you have everything you need. The restaurant itself is small and unassuming, decorated with beautiful cultural touches. The music playing in the background instantly took me back to my childhood, reminding me of the songs my mom and grandma used to play on the radio at home. Overall, this is a hidden gem that's absolutely worth seeking out. We've already been back twice, and we'll definitely be returning again.

I ordered the Sancocho de Costilla and it was packed with tender beef rib, yuca, potato, carrot, plantain, and corn in a rich, flavorful broth. The portion was generous and tasted homemade perfect for a hearty meal. I paired it with a fresh beets salad and crispy tostones on the side. The tostones were perfectly fried (golden and crunchy), and the avocado + lime on the plate added a nice fresh touch. Everything came out hot and well-seasoned. Nothing fancy about the setting, but the food delivers that authentic Colombian taste. Service was friendly and quick. Great value for the portion sizes. Will be back to try more items next time

And since experiencing his Disney Springs restaurant Morimoto Asia, I had been looking forward for him to come to Miami. This was a couple of years back during the cooler season in Miami. RESTAURANT: I just know that this location is going to be beautiful. Chef Morimoto restaurants are worldwide and so I was not disappointed to see how beautiful this restaurant was and how perfectly complemented the vibe of the Wynwood scene. The restaurant doors open to the street, which was perfect during our winter visit. Inside is an open floor plan with a variety of seating options from the izakaya style table, banquet dining against the wall, to the huge bar. There are even covered seating outside that reminded me of New York. Decor is both minimal but with burst of colors with his signature wall art and backlit panels against the wall. And ofcourse, it won't be an authentic Japanese restaurant without the a display of hyper-realistic food models which can be found as soon as you enter the restaurant to entice your taste buds. Everything just looked sleaked and clean and love the pop of green from the huge fig trees. SERVICE: Service was amazing. From the moment we entered, we were greeted and seated right away for our reservation. Our server answered all of our questions and suggested some fruity cocktails. And lo and behold, owner Chef Morimoto himself presented us with our food and torched it right infront of us! He was so polite and humble and wonderful. We watched him moved from one side of the restaurant to the other with the endurance of a guy in his 20s and he's like 60 something! He did not stop. It was such a treat to have him in our table and how he indulged us when we chanted "Iron Chef! Iron Chef!". It was an amazing experience. FOOD: The menu have the right amount of options, from finger food to ramen, sushi and not to mention the drinks. For starters, pork belly and soft shell crab bao and bbq ribs. Deliciousness! The buns warm and pillowy. The pork, so tender. But that soft shell crab...that made me want to slap someone it was so good. Flavorful, no fishiness whatsoever, crunch on the outside and just happiness on the inside. I will eat a million of these. Then my friend ordered some Yakitori fresh from the grill: chicken, pork belly, shrimp, wagyu. They were simple, fresh and so fingerlicking good. Then the ramen; tonkotsu and gyukotsu. On this cold evening, it was exactly what we needed. These two huge bowls we passed around our table of six. The broth were divine! The pork belly was so delicate that it melts in your mouth. The beef falling off the bones were so tender and delicious. Sushi rolls: spider roll and the surf and turf. The spider roll with that soft shell crab was bomb. But the that A5 wagyu surf and turf was the star of the show. It comes out as raw slices on a roll and Chef Morimoto came out and torched it himself next to our table! I don't know if it tasted spectacular because it's wagyu or because the chef himself had torched it but this was my favorite! Overall, this was the most memorable dining experience I've had in a long time. I am sure that fangirling over the Iron Chef was the main reason but it seems that everything just fell into place for us that evening. Parking was literally next door in the garage, super easy no drama. Service was next level, maybe because the boss was there but we were not going to complain. And the food, impeccable! Pricepoint is just reasonable considering the quality, quantity and the location. It is definitely worth the trip coming here and I can't wait to visit again soon to see if everything will be the same without the Chef Morimoto around. I have a feeling it will be just as wonderful.
