    I was really excited to try this place. Mostly bc this idea of a restaurant has always been my husband and I idea. To create a restaurant of the world. But boy did it disappoint!! We ordered a ton of- pulpo, sushi, salmon tartare a salad and chicken. The food was ok. Nothing too crazy. Everything had too much sauce which made it hard to give to my son who is diabetic. Ambience was ok. I feel like they could really turn it up and try to make it look like a restaurant of the world. Also service was ok. Our server felt a little cold and mean (like she didn't want to be there) Overall I will not return. But glad to try someplace new.

    My friend recommended this place and I'm so glad I discovered it. The menu has several options and are listed by several different continents. America, Europe, Africa, etc., so it is very unique and there are lots of options. We ordered the Croqueta's to start, and I have to admit that I was surprised about how good they were. I had the fried snapper with mashed potatoes and fried yucca. I really enjoyed it. It was still moist and flavorful, even under the breading. For dessert, I had the Guava Blondie, which was also a standout. The textures were soft, crunchy, and ice cream to top it off. I went on a Monday night so it was not very busy. The staff came over often. And it's a nice cozy ambience inside. I hope to go again soon and try something new from another continent. This is the type of place you can go again and again and discover something new every time. I recommend.

    SUSHI PIZZA
    Jas H.

    This restaurant is located inside a strip mall, but won't let it fool you, the inside is nicely decorated like a journey across continents. I like the concept of kitchen of the world which brings a variety of flavors like traditional dishes, Asian dishes, European dishes, African dishes, and sushi. I think this is a great place to take someone if they don't know what to eat because here you have everything on the menu! For starters, we ordered the sushi pizza which was absolutely delicious. The crispy of the rice and the fresh of the tuna. We ordered the Alaska truffle roll, which brought crispy salmon, cream cheese and avocado. It was a perfect burst of flavor. The fried salmon really elevated the roll for me texture and taste wise. And for my final dish, I ordered the short rib ravioli. It was a perfect blend of creamy and savory. My friend ordered the short rib Ramen, but it wasn't like a traditional Ramen broth so it wasn't my favorite, but still pretty good. And for the drink drinks, we had a Moscow Mule and a coconut drink. That was a little too sweet for me. Overall, there's a lot of good flavors and options on this menu .

    Absolutely love KOW in Kendall! This restaurant has an incredible variety of dishes inspired by flavors from all over the world. Whether you're in the mood for Latin, Asian, or American comfort food, they've got something to hit the spot. The Bandeja Paisa is my go to! it's flavorful with the right combination and done right every time. The bar is fully stocked with great drink options, and the staff is always friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care about serving the customers I've been here multiple times and it never disappoints. KOW (kitchen of the world) Definitely a cozy, medium sized restaurant I totally recommend!

    Arroz con Pollo
    Liz M.

    This place was spectacular! Everything we ordered was an explosion of different flavors. The tostones with pork belly were amazing as well as the flatbread. The flatbread is on the sweeter side. The sweet chili wings were juicy and the perfect spice. The arroz con pollo was great with a perfectly fried egg. My favorite was the surf and turf braai. It was seasoned to perfection. And of course we had to save room for dessert. We ordered the coconut guava blondie which was divine! The tiramisu was an experience as you get to pour the espresso yourself. I cannot wait to come again.

    YUM, Yum, yum! Kitchen of the World (KOW) delivers tasteful dishes with a variety of options from Africa, America Asia, and Europe - each containing appetizer and main dishes selections. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the many selections the menu offers. The restaurant is chic, great for family dining, happy hour, or a date night.

    KOW ROLL

    I have ordered delivery from here a bunch of times on Uber eats but have never been in person. We decided to come after my kids eighth grade promotion to celebrate. We started with the hoisin wings- these are a fav. The Tequenos as well are yummy- come out hot and fresh. The kids had nigiri and sushi pizza- they lived the pizza. The salmon nigiri was cut a little too thick and didn't taste the freshest- we sent it back and they were happy to address the issue. I had the lomo salteado- pretty good. My husband had the piripiri ribs/ these were tender and yummy with a dry rub. The kids reported back that the sushi roll and ramen were yummy. The service was great, they checked in on us and the food was brought out timely. The seating area is large and was able to accommodate our part of 5 with no issues. They had some bossa nova music playing we had a nice vibe. Good choice when on west Kendall and looking for variety!

    Steamed gyoza
    Suky P.

    I've been going to this gem since it first opened in 2019! It never disappoints, and only gets better. My favorite appetizer is the steamed gyozas, they are so delicious and perfectly cooked. The staff is welcoming, and helpful with questions when choosing from their extensive and versatile menu. So many great options and you will love what ever you order!

    The food and service were wonderful. Our server was a member of the family that owns the restaurant. There were 4 of us went for lunch and we each ordered something different. All were yummy and we will be back.

    SUSHI PIZZA
    Samantha B.

    Food was good (not great) and the service was absolutely terrible. My boyfriend and I came here on a Monday night and sat at the bar. We ordered our drinks (really bad) and were served by a woman that could not care less if we were there. She was more interested in the conversation with her coworker. The two girls stood at the other side of the restaurant/bar and talked the night away as we waited for her to come back when she wanted to for refills, ordering more food, etc. and it wasn't like we couldn't see her.... We were in clear view of her not working or waiting on other people. She literally had the worst attitude as if it was an inconvenience for her that we were there. We ordered: Europe: Pulpo a la Gallega Burrata Sampler Japan: Sushi Pizza America: Tostones de Cerdo Overall, the sushi pizza and the Pulpo were probably the best items. The octopus was seasoned well. Sushi pizza was filling so I liked it. The burrata sampler was a let down and the tostones were not memorable to be honest. Would I come back here? No.

    Tania D.

    Was in the area and decided to give this place a try. Love the concept where everyone in your group can order foods from different continents at one location. We enjoyed dinner and will be back to try a few other dishes.

    Amby S.

    The food was good! But I'm giving 3.5 rounding up to 4 stars because the service could have been better. When we got there the waiter had put out two menus for 3 people. I had requested a menu which I never got. Then after we had made our decision it took the waiter a really long time to get to our table for some reason to get our order. If there are delays like that, there should be some kind of bread at the table if you're planning on making people wait for a while.

    Emely R.

    Update 9/03/2023!!! Still excellent service, food, and atmosphere. We ordered the Miami Spice which in weekends is $35 Lunch and $60 Dinner. We all basically ordered the same entire the Lomo Saltado and they have an extensive menu for appetizers and desserts. Missed coming to this place! I will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to try a unique and delicious experience ^.^

    Hi! They have pork belly and shrimp ramen only... maybe you would be able to add chicken to 1 of those but I dont think they would make it with only chicken.

    Hi, I would like to know if you offer Lunch Specials, and or Happy Hour. I use an application called Fudo to find all the specials but did not see you there so I was wondering if you offered it?

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.

And we plan accordingly to try their famous 12 hour smoked Flan dessert!! 1. Smoked Brisket- moist, perfect flavor, hearty portion, tender and high quality meat. Comes with great sauce, which I didn't use since it was so perfect as is. 2. Smoked Baby Back Ribs- Another hit with healthy portion, great flavor, and super meaty. Honestly, just hard to stop eating it! 3. Baked Beans with Brisket- A true meal unto itself! I could've stopped here! Tons of brisket ground into the beans, almost like the best "chili" ever. Flavor is sophisticated smokiness, not the usual sugary sweet restaurant rendition. Yay! 4. Potato salad is FIRE! Fresh perfectly cooked tender white potatoes, cooked carrots & peas add just enough interest and a magical a touch of mayo. Yes please. 5. 12 hour smoked Flan-STAR * of the show, the flan of my dreams! Staff insisted this flan is all that and they are correct! It's LEGIT. We left with a doggie bag, so worth it. Price was for real, you pay for quality. $74, but we brought plenty home. You could get by with a meal for two around $50-60, if you need. Check out their Later week Happy hour sand weekly specials as well as brunch & breakfast. It's all good here! Thanks for following me-happy spring 2026! ~Tami in Miami

    Smoke & Dough... I Went Looking for BBQ... and Found One of the Best Pastrami Sandwiches in South…read moreFlorida Back in my day, going out for BBQ wasn't something you did every weekend. It was a special occasion. If you grew up in Miami, you probably remember The New Hickory on Coral Way. Then there was Uncle Tom's on 8th Street. Great food... but let's be honest... everybody was just a little nervous eating there because it was right next to the cemetery. You'd be halfway through your ribs thinking... "¿Tú crees que ese ruido vino del parking... o del cementerio? Later on we graduated to Luther's on Bird Road and 117th Avenue, and of course, Shorty's, the undisputed king that's been feeding hungry Miamians for generations. These days it seems like a new BBQ place opens every other week in South Florida. I recently tried one of the newer spots in South Miami... except when we got there they were out of half the menu. Nothing kills your BBQ excitement faster than hearing, "Sorry... we're out of brisket." That's like walking into Versailles and hearing they're out of croquetas. So when our friends Ana and Henry invited Betty and me to Smoke & Dough in Kendall, I was ready to get my BBQ on. We walked into this unassuming strip mall, I grabbed the menu, ready to order ribs or brisket... ...and then I saw it. The Pastrami Sandwich. Now THAT got my attention. Finding a really good pastrami sandwich down here isn't easy. Roasters 'N Toasters has a very good one. Lox of Bagels (what many of us still call Lox of Lox) makes a solid one too. But this one... This one beat them both by a mile. The meat was warm, juicy, incredibly flavorful, the cheese perfectly melted, the Thousand Island dressing was just the right amount, and the bread held everything together without falling apart after the second bite... a miracle in itself. And it wasn't one of those fancy little sandwiches you need a magnifying glass to find on the plate. This thing was substantial. I shared it with my wife... ...and I was full. ¡Y yo soy tremendo comelón! Our friends ordered the brisket empanadas, a quiche, and brisket sandwiches that looked absolutely outstanding. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked like somebody back there really cared about what they were serving. The atmosphere surprised me. Instead of feeling like an old-school BBQ joint with picnic tables and sauce bottles everywhere, it feels more like a cozy neighborhood bistro that just happens to know its way around a smoker. Comfortable, relaxed, and the kind of place where nobody is rushing you out the door because another party is waiting. They also have what looked like an excellent selection of wines and craft beers, which gives the place a slightly elevated feel without being pretentious. Now... everybody has been telling me about their famous **Smoked Flan Apparently it's slowly cooked on the barbecue pit for about five hours, giving the creamy custard and caramel a subtle smoky flavor. Believe me... I wanted to try it. But after that pastrami... Game over. There wasn't enough room left. The owners came over, introduced themselves, shared a little of the history behind Smoke & Dough, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Those little moments still matter. You leave feeling like they appreciate your business instead of treating you like the next number in line. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Good food. Great company. Friendly owners. A relaxed atmosphere where you actually want to stay awhile. After our last dining experience at another restaurant where we practically felt like they were timing us with a stopwatch, this was a refreshing change. Will I be back? Absolutely. Not just for the BBQ... I'm coming back to see if that smoked flan lives up to the hype. And maybe... Just maybe... I'll order ,another pastrami sandwich.
