    Savory food in a beautiful venue! Hope it succeeds. Unusually high prices for the apps (esp. the $28 small soup). Rating it 3 stars because of the price point and emptiness.

    Few times have I seen food, service and ambience come together so perfectly. Don't walk, run and you won't be disappointed!

    The food and service was amazing. Probably the best meal I've had since being in Miami for 20 years.

    Beautiful location, excellent food but excessive prices for the small amount of food on the plate. not recommended for those who are hungry!

    When are the best Asian restaurants in Miami Beach?…read more I've been eating there for the last 10 years..

    This place is a disaster. It was my worst dining experience of 2026. Let me tell you why…read more The food was honestly below what I was expecting which made what happened with the billing a very sour bite. I had an absolutely unacceptable billing experience from this restaurant that presents itself as luxurious. I dined at Hakkasan Miami Beach a few months ago with three friends. Our $805.72 bill was divided into four equal portions of $201.43. I authorized my $201.43 share. Hakkasan then processed my credit card for $201.43 TWICE. What followed was far worse than the original billing mistake. Rather than simply acknowledge that something had gone wrong and return my $201.43, Hakkasan fought my credit-card dispute and submitted doctored documentation to support keeping both charges. I spent months disputing this with Citibank, ultimately escalating the matter to Citi's Executive Response Unit and filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And here's what I find extraordinary: Hakkasan's own reconstructed check shows four separate $201.43 payments totaling exactly $805.72. It identifies payments from two of my friends. It identifies one $201.43 payment from me. And then it shows my card a second time for another $201.43, without identifying a fourth cardholder. There were four diners. Hakkasan's records identify three of us. My card appears twice. Yet Hakkasan maintained that both charges were valid, and after nearly four months of fighting this, Citi ultimately sided with the restaurant. So I am now out an additional $201.43 because of a second charge their server (who appeared to be drugs that night) maintains I authorized. A billing mistake can happen anywhere. What defines a business is what it does after the mistake is brought to its attention. For a restaurant of Hakkasan's reputation and price point, I find this appalling. I would have expected meticulous accounting, serious customer service, and an immediate effort to determine why one guest's card appeared twice on a four-way split. Instead, I spent months fighting to recover $201.43 while the restaurant defended the second charge. I have dined at high-end restaurants around the world, and I cannot remember another experience that left me feeling this profoundly distrustful of a restaurant's handling of my credit card. Check your receipts when you go to Hakkasan. They cannot be trusted. Check your credit-card statement afterward. And keep all documentation. They doctor things afterward to fit their version of the story. I will not return to Hakkasan under any circumstances. If I could rate them as a -1, I would.

    First impressions when we walk in, it looks like a big courtyard in the mall…read moreWe ordered the pork ramen and spicy beef gyoza We also ordered the pork dumplings but the girl didn't hear us ! Customer service is always lacking in Miami but back to the food The ramen was really delicious and the gyoza was so good ! Definitely would come back if I'm in the area to try it again but I wouldn't make a special drive for it As far as the ambiance it like being in a mall food court I don't mind it and it's great cause we have kids who wanted something else so it worked out for everyone

    had a long day at work and was so looking forward to a yummy meal, but this was so bad and left me…read moreso disappointed. I normally dont like to leave reviews less than 5 stars (and I'm being generous with 3 stars!) but I spent almost $50 for a meal that I ended up throwing in the trash (I have never done this before; it was that bad). Not sure if they were super busy or if they had a bad night, but I wouldn't spend your hard earned money on these two items: The gyoza tasted like it wasn't fresh. It was chewy and didn't taste good. It felt like something you buy at a grocery store that is left frozen for a long time. But even that wouldn't be that bad... The JB tempura was super salty (I was surprised because apparently people buy this a lot on Uber Eats), it also had very little creme cheese, and did not have good flavor. I guess I'll stay hungry tonight; thanks Ai Tallarin! At least your bag was pretty though.

    Due to a flight delay we had an unplanned overnight stay in Miami. We looked on yelp and saw…read moreNovikov close by with good ratings. We decided to check it out. We are very happy we did. The food and staff are excellent. The ambiance is cool and interesting. Kevin was our server. Great service and personality. Our meal: -Started with a Manhattan cocktail. It was perfectly prepared. -Spicy Edamame spicy and sweet very good. -Duck Lettuce Wraps a nice piece of duck breast with crispy skin on butter leaf lettuce. It was very good. -King Crab California Roll excellent -Brussels Sprouts with crispy pork belly. Also very good. We finished with the chocolate lava cake. I would have liked the cake to be a little more cooked. It was like a brownie sitting on top of chocolate soup. The flavor was good. The ginger ice cream that came with it was more ice than cream and the ginger flavor was very subtle. Valet parking is available.

    So I really wanted to love this place. I have heard about their ladies night and happy hour…read morespecials for a couple years now. My friend suggested we go here before a movie on a Wednesday afternoon. I got there early, as we were to be at the movies, at the Silverspot by 6pm. And ladies night/happy hour starts at 5pm. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by the hostesses and asked if I was there for ladies night. Then I was given two drink tickets. I sat at an empty bar. There was only one other person seated on the other side. At 5:15 a pack of women (5-6 ppl) walked in and started claiming seats and moving barstools around. I was saving one for my friend who was parking the car. When out of nowhere a manager (or someone who appeared to be in charge) ripped over to where we were seated and started talking to me sternly about moving chairs and saving seats. Never have I been reprimanded for saving one seat at a bar when there were other seats open. But I communicated with her that my friend was parking, and that I hadn't moved any seats. She reiterated again, no saving seats and then addressed the girls who moved the bar stools. Her tone was abrasive and honestly given what had occurred seemed out of place, especially that the bar wasn't packed and the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, this interaction really just tinted the whole experience for me. I was scolded for something benign and also for something I had not done. Before I was admonished, I managed to order a roll (spicy tuna maki) and a drink, the agave picante. Neither was outstanding but neither were bad either. However, given the fact that it was happy hour food/free drinks it was perfectly adequate, nice presentation on both. The bartender was sweet enough and given how the manager treated us I figured he probably received similar treatment from both management and customers, or either or. So I wanted to tip him well. However, when I went to pay, the gratuity was already included and I said to him I wanted to tip him more than $2.40, because honestly he wasn't at fault at all, for how I was treated by his coworker/superior. But I guess whatever system they use makes it difficult to change because he didn't make the effort to let me pay him more. (It took very long to get our check because of said system, not sure why, but the poor man had to go hunt something down to do so. I paid with a normal card, nothing out of the ordinary as did all the people in my party.) My friend who chose the place and the other patron who was sitting at the bar both commiserated with me about the interesting treatment, and said they never saw or experienced what I did. So I hope it was a one off and maybe I was just unlucky to be seated next to a large group of ladies. But overall, if I had to recommend a place for happy hour, this wouldn't be it. Plenty of other places have better options for food/drinks and better service in the area. But I guess if you can't afford to buy yourself 2 drinks at happy hour prices and you happen to be a female, I understand its appeal.

    I stayed at tje Double Tree hotel and came across this little gem. The restaurant was beautiful,…read morenice and cozy but also a chilled vibe. I had Sushi and tried the pistachio mochi ice cream. Food was good and fresh but took longer than I anticipated for preparing. The price point was ok for the value, but definitely not for the mochi. Service was average. I would recommend dining here.

    Tasty Chinese food in an area that definitely could use more Asian cuisine! Went here for dinner…read morewith a few friends from work and had a good time. We started with a drink each, I got the purple moon cocktail which is sort of like a fruity and floral lychee-lavender-elderflower martini. For dinner we started with an order of chili oil dumplings and the scallion pancakes which were both alright, but we enjoyed the entrees more. The twice cooked pork was flavorful and not too greasy, the dry fried string beans were quite savory with a nice bite, and the Szechuan spicy chicken (some of you might recognize this dish's more common name of dry chili chicken or dry pepper chicken) was crispy savory and infused good but not overwhelming amount of heat. The portions for all of the entrees were pretty satisfying for the three of us and we left full. Overall, it may not be perfect but Tanka is a good spot for tasty Chinese food in a city that could definitely use some more legit Asian food!
