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!

I Need to talk to you about my experience at KYU…read more Huge shoutout to Chris at the bar, he welcomed us in with such a great energy while we waited for our table, and the drinks he made? Elite. The perfect start to the night. Bree took over once our table was ready and everything just flowed. Attentive, warm, and completely on top of it without ever missing a beat. And the food... every single dish felt like an experience and somehow better than the last!!! I genuinely couldn't pick a favorite. Even the krunchy kale had personality (which says a lot). The branzino, steak tartare, Korean fried chicken, octopus, mussels... I'm still thinking about all of it. Kim, the manager, was consistently checking in and making sure everything was perfect, and that level of attention to detail made the entire night feel elevated. We were really taken care of and my experience at Kyu ended with me in bed ready to sleep and a huge smile on my face. And left overs for tomorrow. I couldn't ask for anything more!

Even though there were lots of people there, the staff was very attentive and constantly kept a smile on their face.

I'm so absolutely disappointed. This place gave me food poisoning. The rolls were disappointing, I…read morewas getting nauseous just smelling the food. The smell when I first walked in was atrocious. It smelled like they cleaned everything with sanitizer water that had been sitting and reused for multiple days. WTF - I work at a sushi restaurant and this is insane. The appearance was great but the taste was horrible. I ordered the Hokkaido scallop roll and it was insanely fishy. There also was initiation crab inside (really bad quality one) that wasn't even mentioned on the menu to be apart of this roll. Not to mention the size of the rolls are giant and couldn't be eaten with one bite. Might as well be a burrito. Their "moshi moshi" roll was fine but again giant and the server said it was wrapped with seaweed as well as soy paper but that was not true. The wagyu roll was OK- but for $30 I am so upset. Over $100 for two people for lunch. Our server didn't even ask us how the food was. She was nice but she clearly didn't know what was in the rolls or ensure we enjoyed it. The lychee sake cocktail was undrinkable, it was too sweet but also too strong. How do you mess up a happy hour drink?? I called them and let them know I got food poisoning and they asked me if I was "allergic to anything" which is silly because I mentioned the extreme fishiness and mentioned I work with fish, the answer is no. He responded with "our food is super fresh", no the hell it isn't. Don't come here unless you want to waste your money. A million other sushi places I could go to for a better experience.

I love this spot. My boyfriend and I found Hoshi on a whim late one night, because we were craving…read moreAsian food after a rock climbing session. At first I have to admit that I was a bit skeptic, but soon enough we saw different couples pour into the restaurant. When we saw the menu and thereafter tried the food we could understand why it's such a pop date option. Its dishes are very reasonably priced - given their amazing taste. The first dish we tried at Hoshi was the sea bass skewers my mind was blown - they actually melted in my mouth from how soft and buttery they were. Additionally, we tried the edamame with garlic and chili oil - it was finger-licking good! However, the star of the show was really the Pad Kee Mao - it's fantastic. The Pad Kee Mao has a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, nuttiness, and heartiness. If one were to order the Pad Kee Mao and ask a suggestion on what is easily the best Thai noodles in miami, I would advise to get the noodles medium spicy and get them with beef!! I'm not lying if I say that my boyfriend and I have been visiting this spot over 3 times a week. I can easily say that Hoshi has us as new regulars in their establishment.

We got there a bit before our reservation time, and they let us sit in the smaller dining area as we waited for our spots to open up. We all did the $200 tasting and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the bites. It's 8 courses that range from a nigiri sampler, small bites, and dessert. Most memorable were the clam broth, beef loin and carrots, and the fatty tuna nigiri with caviar on top. The fatty tuna nigiri with caviar was the main reason I wanted the tasting! There is an à la carte menu too, but it was a lot easier just letting the chefs portion out our meal. Would definitely check them out and enjoy a superb evening out!

Then they pour the bottle touching the rim of your glass spreading contaminated germs from the other patron's glass! GROSS! They proudly boast that their service is top notch, while it's 7 men standing in the corner and 1 sweet woman dressed like a geisha being obnoxiously monitored. The vibe felt very intense there. The hovering over people in this tiny, little whole in the wall restaurant felt overwhelming. I started to lose my patience being that there is so much staff standing around and found myself several times having to pour my own wine bottle. 2nd, I told them it was my son's birthday and nobody went out of their way to make his birthday special! And just a fair warning, you will spend over a $1000 dollars and walk out of there still very hungry! What a disappointment! Furthermore, they price gouge people trying to pass off as if his restaurant is Michelin worthy! An absolute joke! And here's the "best part" when I tried to voice my concerns, I was told to leave! I was very polite and instead of hearing me out, trying to make my experience better, I get told to leave! How disgusting! Please don't come here. The ambiance is terrible, overwhelming, and you will get sick because they have no consideration for cross contamination!

From the service to the food, our experience at Shiso was impeccable…read more We walked in for happy hour on a Sunday. The vibe of the space feels like they brought in the murals of wynwood to their interior design. The music selection was rap hit after rap hit, loved. We sat at the bar. Our server was Marcus. He was so helpful and attentive. Gave us his menu recommendations, which we followed suit. We ordered the duck dumplings and the sweet potato croquettes from the HH menu. From the regular menu, we ordered the bbq toro and the oxtail udon. The duck dumplings had a rich au jus, great. Our favorite app was the sweet potato croquette. Slightly sweet, a satisfying crunch, but soft in the center with tender brisket. The white bbq sauce and parm gave it a nice smoky nuttiness. Ordered another round, they were so good! The bbq toro had an amazing smokey flavor and a nice citrusy butter as the sauce. The cut was perfect. The oxtail udon was really hearty, and by far the best dish we had (though all the dishes were seriously incredible). It comes with a cured egg yolk, which they mix for you tableside. There was a good amount of oxtail in the dish and the udon sauce - bottle it for me please and thank youuu.

Sometimes less is more. I booked brunch for the Sunday after Valentine's Day. The reservation was confirmed, but then I found out they don't even open until 5 PM that day. How does a brunch reservation get confirmed for a time when the restaurant isn't open? I decided to give it another try this weekend and went at 5 PM to sit at the bar. The hostess told me there was a "Hungry Post" event happening. I asked about the price and she said it was $100 per person. Okay, fine -- but when I asked what the event included or what it was about, she seemed unsure and said it was "just a party" and that you just go in. No explanation of what was included, no specials, nothing. Charging $100 per person just to attend a "party" with no clear details feels odd and poorly communicated. I genuinely want this place to succeed because the food and drinks are great -- I just wish they would focus on that and improve communication and organization instead of trying so hard to be trendy.

My friends and I experienced Double Knot Delray for happy hour yesterday... Soup to nuts excellent!…read moreGreat ambiance, not too loud and chatty in my opinion. From the minute we were greeted at the door then to the bar with friendly customers offering us open seats. The bar staff was well trained, very knowledgeable, friendly and professional, especially for being the first hours open! Now let's get to it.... I looked online before going there and had very high expectations and they far exceeded it! I could have closed my eyes and picked out something delicious. "Double Knot Delray is a modern Japanese Izakaya in Delray Beach serving sushi, robatayaki, and craft cocktails in an upscale setting." Thank you Nicole, Allyse and Jazz(cooked my delicate and delicious salmon) for doing what you do to the highest level...! Outstanding! WELL BE BACK!!!

The green tea alone is a standout--whipped to perfection with a foamy top unlike anything I've ever had. The sushi? Incredibly fresh, buttery, and melts in your mouth. One of the small but thoughtful details I loved was the soy sauce presentation--it comes with a little paintbrush so you can apply just the right amount without overpowering the fish. It's those kinds of touches that make Wabi Sabi special. Dessert was just as impressive: a seasonal Japanese strawberry that was perfectly sweet and an unforgettable ube mochi that was unlike any I've tried before. The decor is simple, with a refined Japanadi aesthetic that keeps the focus on the food. Service was also 10/10. Amazing all around--I'll definitely be back
