Recently, we moved to this area and have made this our go-to Thai restaurant and we also love their sashimi when you just want some great fresh slices of hamachi. Recently, I tried their pad thai. I am not normally a pad thai lover however, this pad thai is made with angel hair type noodles that really soak up the delicious sauce. Included in the chicken pad Thai is also perfectly cooked tofu and delicious pork rinds. Honestly, its so good that it can satisfy a pasta craving also. Their tom kha soup is also in my opinion the best in Miami. It's not overly watery or just coconut milk like most offerings. Pla tu makes it with fresh herbs and has a little bit of heat mixed in. It's so good. The pieces of chicken and mushrooms are also tender and not overly boiled like most tom kha soups. We also go for the sushi. Their sashimi is extremely fresh and we can never turn down some fresh sliced hamachi here. Lastly, yesterday we tried the Thai Donuts. I am not normally a fan but the waitress insisted we try and boy are we glad we did. They were warm pillows that melted in our mouths and we scarfed them down. I don't think I will ever visit again without ordering them. I love this place. Service is great. Food is consistently delicious and I will always be back.

We are regular at Pla-Tu , food and service are good. We have not gone for a while, the menu is…read moresomehow limited after going there so many time , I like variations in what I eat. I used to eat sushi, but the origin unless japanese isn't the type of seafood I want to venture. Salmon is farmed raise unless it is wild from Alaska. The way the fish are raised and feed doesn't attracts me to eat it raw, many bacteria are included while you eat it. Tuna same unless it is tuna belly which is deep frozen and japanese would be with Hamachi japanese, including Conch and uni from Baja California the only rolls that I would order. As the cost have risen on raw materials restaurant Chef are buying more affordable seafood to maximize food cost vs profitability. In retrospect I like the place but I could live without dining there as often as we used to, unless more choices became available. Bon appétit and bonne chance.

We had such a fantastic lunch at 1111 Nikkei today! From start to finish, everything was spot on…read more The restaurant is easy to find with plenty of parking, and the service was excellent. Mauricio, both our server and the manager, was absolutely amazing--so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really made the experience special. The food was just as incredible. We tried the: * Sticky Shrimp (a must!) * Steamed Chicken Gyoza * Hamachi Tiradito * 1111 Ceviche * Acevichado Roll Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the menu. If you're looking for a spot that combines great food, warm service, and an easy dining experience, I can't recommend 1111 Nikkei enough. Definitely worth a visit--let's keep supporting amazing local restaurants like this one!

Comic Style Sushi Spot That's Actually Worth It…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in. The whole spot is themed with Asian comic style details and characters, which makes it feel different and honestly really cool. Even the menu follows the same vibe. The food was really really good. We tried a mix of things like poke bowls, teriyaki, pad thai, and bao buns, and everything hit. Good flavor, tasted fresh, and just overall solid. Service is quick and simple. Nothing over the top, but it works and everything comes out fast. Prices are reasonable for the area, which makes it even better. I would 100% come back. It's one of those places you end up loving and want to keep going back to. Definitely worth it if you like sushi or Asian fusion.

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 food and drinks are consistently amazing. I've been coming here since they first opened (I believe back in 2014), and I'll keep coming back. Their menu is packed with bold, flavorful dishes, an impressive cocktail selection, and honestly, they were one of the places that got me through COVID! From the pizzas to the entrées, everything is outstanding. I celebrated my birthday here just last week, and as always, it was excellent. The churrasco is consistently tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The mushroom risotto is rich, creamy, and bursting with earthy mushroom goodness. For dessert, we shared the warm banana bread with salted caramel ice cream, and wow... I still can't stop thinking about it. Whether it's happy hour, lunch, dinner, or a special occasion, Finka never ever ever disappoints. After all these years, it's still one of my favorite spots in Miami, and I recommend it to everyone looking for a memorable lunch, dinner or happy hour, do it right and come to Finka.

Unfortunately, today was a very different experience. It took about five minutes for anyone to acknowledge us, even though the bar wasn't busy. I ordered an Old Cuban Old Fashioned, one of my favorites, and was surprised to see the bartender use his hands instead of tongs to put the ice into the glass. I ended up sending the drink back because the glass was dirty. The second drink was made by another bartender, and again, I noticed him using his hands instead of tongs to handle the ice. The food was still great, but after today's experience, I'll definitely be paying much closer attention to how my drinks are prepared. I've always had a great experience at Finka, which is why today was especially disappointing. I hope this was just an off day and not a change in their usual standards.
