    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.

There was literally dirt/mud at the bottom and I took my first bite and it felt like biting into sand. Upon spitting the food out onto my plate it was black sludge. Literally my tongue and teeth were black. The waiter came by and grabbed the plate when I was in the bathroom. I spent about 10 minutes trying to get that BLACK SLUDGE out of my mouth. When I was spitting out the dirt/mud wife noticed the bus boys laughing at me and there was not a manger in sight. When I asked for a manager he did not even respond. No apology or anything just a look of confusion. Worst experience in a restaurant in my life and I love to eat and have been to many types of restaurant big and small. Cheap and expensive and this one takes the cake. We were so bummed as I see thousands of great reviews. But if there was a zero I would have given zero stars the way they handled the situation. If you eat there in the future make sure to check for DIRT/MUD.

I'm not even sure what it is that we ordered, kind of like a ceviche meets guacamole. I think it was good, I'm honestly not sure. It was fatty, almost buttery, my date didn't like that. It came with some kind of chip that broke really easily. The marinated cucumber dish was pretty solid though. I'd get that again. I have friends in the area, so I'll likely try it again, but there will be many other places that I'll be trying first.

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.
