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!

There was a dancer/show in the middle which was very cool. However it's kinda cold and windy. Even though we had a reservation we still had to wait a bit to get seated. I got the spring rolls, pad Thai, thali, baby corn. Everything was pretty good except the corn had a bit of an odd flavor. The spring rolls were my favorite though. I wish for the actual Indian food part they had more vegetarian options. However they were able to make our thali half meat and half vegetarian which was nice. The drinks were strong here. The service was decent too since ir was busy. This place is definitely expensive but it's a nice experience.

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.

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. I've had Nobu's miso cod and this was just as good, if not better for a fraction of the price. This is a solid choice in Miami with standout sushi.

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.

They came out gorgeous. The food was delicious, and the service was great. Everyone was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. The prices were exactly what I expected for the atmosphere and overall experience, so there were no surprises there. The drinks were okay, not my favorite part of the night, but they definitely weren't bad. The seating was a little tight since the restaurant isn't very big, but it didn't take away from the experience. My only disappointment was that I wish they would have done something a little special for my birthday since they were told in advance. They don't really seem to have anything special that they do for birthday celebrations. Overall, I really enjoyed myself. The beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, great service, and amazing pictures made it a memorable birthday. I would definitely recommend Giselle Miami, especially for a special night out.

It did not match the description and the cotton candy was dry. It was replaced with a glass of prosecco that was much more my speed. Everything else was delightful. Loved the covered rooftop vibe. Dj was playing hits and it wasn't too loud. Lovely decor and ambiance for sure with the hints of neon pink. Our server was amazing. He knew and explained the menu very well. My favorite entree was the lobster pasta. It was flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. Giselle's Pearls is THE best dessert! I'd definitely go back.

We looked up and…read moredown the island - North Beach to South Beach, and sushi sounded good - this place had good reviews. We had the crab wontons, which were yummy and you could taste the crab. Daughter had the California Roll and she gave it a "4". We had Scarlett roll, the Big Bang roll, the Godfather roll, and the Gangnam Style roll. These were all very good, though we agreed (and with the server) that the Godfather roll (tempura lobster) was the best. Nice ambience, though pretty small. I'd recommend!

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.

If you're in Miami Beach and want sushi I'd definitely say this is a good spot to pass by and get a fun seating experience to feel like you are in Japan. If you don't like sushi they also have a variety of other options on the menu including Udon, Ramen, and a couple other choices. I'd definitely come back to have more of the moshi moshi roll, that was the bite of the night

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!

Now their happy hour...great drink and food prices. Try the spicy margarita. Yum! They also have private rooms for your entire party...just call ahead.

Also, people kept strolling in, looks like they have a private back area. People were interestingly dressed and kept taking photos near the back. The service was okay, it felt like the food took long to come out, considering there weren't a lot of diners there. Two of us had the picanha, it was good but it was à la carte, so I ordered potatoes with like a chili oil topping as a side. Split that with my daughter who ordered the mahi mahi and really enjoyed the mahi. The last person in our party ordered a chicken dish, I think it might have been Asian style; she said it was okay.
