Due to a flight delay we had an unplanned overnight stay in Miami. We looked on yelp and saw Novikov 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. read more

So I really wanted to love this place. I have heard about their ladies night and happy hour specials 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. read more

Enjoy the diverse menu and like their food presentations. Always excellent service but have to say the Duck Fried Rice is my favorite. We ordered a variety of sushi's plus three orders of the duck and bronzing fish was delicious. No room for sweets. Highly recommend. read more

Novikov Miami - Love this Art and tells you, an enjoyable experience is forth coming. - Chinese Near Me - Miami, Florida

I love it here. The apps are always scrumptious, the cocktails delicious, and the bartenders friendly. My personal favorite is the wasabi martini. It's such a unique flavor and so lovely. (Wish it was at least a little spicy but it's still delish!) The ambiance is chic and upscale. So fun to dress up and have a few drinks at the bar. Recommend! read more

I was quite unimpressed with Novikov. First I made a reservation during their happy hour only to find out that the happy hour is only at the bar. If you order the same items at a table then you have to pay full price for them. My group tried a wide variety of dishes and nothing stood out. The sushi roll was unimpressive and didn't have any bold flavors. The fried boa bun was my favorite item that I ordered. The pork belly in the pork belly boa bun was tough and chewy. I was excited to try the duck but I also thought it was quite chewy. I thought the portion was quite small considering that my group ordered the whole duck. I think the duck at Hutong is much more tender and better value since the whole portion I got at Novikov is the size of the half at Hutong. read more

We chose Novikov Miami to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The highlight for me was definitely the wagyu slider--hands down the best slider we've ever had. I'm usually not a big fan of burgers or sliders, but this one completely changed my mind. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The wagyu tataki was also excellent, tender and well-balanced in flavor. The sashimi and seafood were incredibly fresh, which is always a must for us, and Novikov did not disappoint. The dim sum selection was outstanding--each dish was crafted with care and packed with flavor. And the desserts? Easily some of the best we've had compared to other premium buffets--beautifully presented and delicious. What truly elevated the experience was the service. It was attentive, warm, and made us feel genuinely special throughout the brunch. As a lovely birthday surprise, my wife received a hat as a gift and got to choose her favorite--she picked the red one, which made the brunch even more memorable. read more

Bella was excellent (and it was her first day)! We were greeted with enthusiasm and she showed great knowledge about the menu. We were seated outside by request and this location has a beautiful view of the bay! Our cocktails were fabulous. I got a classic Aperol spritz and my husband tried their old fashioned and loved their version. For an app we tried their wagu tacos (we thought dang, someone is putting wagu in a taco.. we have to try it!) and so glad we did. They came in a sesame crunchy shell and had a delicious aioli inside. We ordered prawn moneybags dim sum, short rib bao buns, Rolls Royce maki roll, and the chef's choice nigiri. Everything was elevated by either caviar, gold flecks, or truffle butter. We absolutely loved everything! I'd love to visit when we are back in Miami. read more

Fun nice at novikov! Food is always a winner here, it's on the higher end so do expect to pay those prices. They have a nice happy hour worth taking a look.

They did a great job. Valet parking right outside. read more

Every time I'm in Miami, Novikov is a must. It's that rare spot that never misses from the vibe to the cocktails to the flawless dishes that remind you why this city's dining scene is next level. The atmosphere is sleek, energetic, and just the right amount of Miami glam. Whether you're sitting by the bar or at a table with the glowing city view, the experience feels special every single time. The sushi is consistently top-tier! ultra-fresh fish, perfectly balanced flavors, and presentation that looks straight out of a magazine. read more

One of my favorite places in Miami because the food is spectacular. The prices are high but it's because of the quality food. The only issue we had was an extremely rude waitress, which is why we haven't gone back in a while. But hoping that's a one off because the food was really impressive with every bite. read more

Novikov Miami was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. You have to try the A5 Wagyu beef with the foie gras, both were incredible and full of flavor. The drinks were just as good and really well made by the bartender Domen. What stood out the most was the service. Robbie y Dylan treated us like royalty and knew the menu like the back of their hand. Everyone treated me so kindly and made me feel welcome the entire time. Definitely a place you want to visit for great food, drinks, and a great atmosphere. read more

Here's a clean, natural review you can use or slightly tweak depending on the platform: I went to Novikov for lunch during work in January and had such a great experience that I had to leave a review. They were running their Duck menu, and everything we tried was outstanding. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better despite it being a quick workday lunch. We ordered the duck soup and the Peking duck fried rice, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, well balanced, and clearly made with care. The duck was perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying. It was the perfect lunch spot when you want something elevated but still efficient during the workday. Highly recommend checking out their Duck menu if you get the chance. read more

Very trendy vibe with a central seafood station that showcases the fresh seafood. Service was friendly and provided some food suggestions. I was pleasantly surprised. By the food here and left pretty happy about our meal. We did a mix of the roasted duck with crepes (very tasty), some sushi, grilled cod and dumplings. The menu is pretty overwhelming since it has a few different sections - you get can pulled in different directions, but if you come in a group you could share and be happy. Not a cheap place (it's Miami) but it really hit the spot and was close to the hotels. read more

Wednesday night ladies night was great! Live DJ with super chill vibes. Had the agave picante which I loved. Their espresso martini and wasabi martini were pretty good too Then the star of the show (for me) was the money bags shrimp dim sum 100/10. Delicious! Hamachi carpaccio also good and the crispy duck bun pao. For entree I went with the whole fried snapper. I just can't put into works how good everything was. Including the friendliest server (can't remember his name). I will 100% be back! read more

Enjoying Novikov during Miami Spice is fun however we enjoy ordering food off menu. The ribs are excellent. Duck...one of the better but their sushi is made to order and not bashful with caviar. We enjoy going there, sit off the side, order a bottle of Champagne as it goes great with sushi slowly enjoying dish after dish. Service is attentive but drinks, when very busy take long. The interior ambiance is eclectic and like the vibe. Good bar scene, only reason no 5 stars...Valet Parkers are slow. read more

Stopped by here quickly and I know I will have to return to try their full menu. I came for ladies night and it was surprisingly a mixed crowd by the bar, very lively and the service was good. Our bartender was quite friendly and attentive! Tried the lychee martini and really enjoyed the balanced flavors, not too sweet. I have always heard good things, the other cocktails available looked great, I will definitely try the happy hour menu next time which even includes peking duck bao buns in it. Highly recommend for a quick drink if you're looking for good vibes, a good happy hour with food, and quality cocktails in downtown Miami. read more

I came here for miami spice lunch and I liked it more than I thought I would, especially since I feel hesitant about Miami asian fusion. Starter: The cucumber tataki was ok but in the end just sliced cucumbers. I wish I got the hot and sour soup that my friend got as it had more flavor and substance. Appetizer: I got the duck and foie gras dim sum and my friend got the shrimp and cilantro dim sum and they were ok. Perhaps I was craving more of the chinese flavor. While the dumplings looked chinese, it didn't taste chinese at all. I would not get either again. Main: I got the half peking duck and actually enjoyed it. Growing up, my family would make it at home and the taste was pretty similar. They used authentic thin chewy wrappers. However I wish there was a bit more fat on the meat. The skin isn't as crispy and juicy as the ones I've had in China (but those are some high standards that have never been met in the US). For the extra $15 on top of the miami spice base price of $30, the peking duck was certainly worth it and would recommend it. The service was good but I wish they filled my water more often, especially given the saltiness of some of the dipping sauces. The decor was beautiful and well lit and stylish. TLDR: get the peking duck for a pretty authentic experience in Miami read more

The zay tai and toki old fashioned were well balanced. 10/10 recommend read more

Most people know Novikov they were one of the first to bring a luxurious edge to pan Asian food in downtown Miami. Everything they do, they do it well and you can see it in their experience. Like in their drinks like their Wasabi Martini, which I'm told it built this house. Their shishito peppers are perfectly seasoned and addictive. This cucumber tataki is incredibly light and a vegetarian's opportunity to rejoice in tataki. These black truffle, chicken and morel are not only GORGEOUS but masterfully crafted. Now this sushi roll, really took my taste buds on a journey, it was dubbed the best app of the day. Order the hamachi yuzu truffle. Trust me. Now talking about favorites, here's the duck. Look at how juicy this is and what I loved most is that there weren't too many fat pieces. It was pure meat and as always making your wraps is the best. My husband was wrapping his like if he was in chipotle wrapping a burrito. The CHICKEN KATSU CURRY is a family favorite. So we had to order it. We finished with some ice cream and sorbet. read more

Made a reservation for a work lunch after hearing some glowing recommendations. From entrance to exit it was a great experience! We wanted something light so didn't end up doing the $30 business lunch, and just got sashimi. The ginger truffle hamachi, perfectly thin and great paired with the micro greens. Scallop truffle was not pictured but also really tasty. All 3 of us ordered the chefs recommended sashimi so they combined it into a beautiful platter with sliced fruit and dry ice. The fish was soft and really fresh quality. Presentation was all perfect and service was top notch. My one complaint was that it gets very loud somehow even with not that many people in the room. I'll be back for the $30 business lunch for sure. read more

Beautiful spot for a date night. Seems like a hot spot for celebrities as well. The food was fresh, service was pretty steady. We came on a Thursday around 8p and inside was fairly empty outside of a few tables but the patios were full. Our server was new but pretty knowledgeable about the menu and made some great recommendations. We ordered roasted duck bao buns and chargrilled octopus to start. Both 5/5! I had the 5 spice shao kao chicken w/ bok choy which was delightful. Very flavorful and filling. My date had the branzino which was bland in my opinion but he didn't complain and I enjoyed a mint lemonade mocktail. Overall great experience, will definitely return for a happy hour to get a feel for their high energy nights read more

First time here for a business dinner and it has a cool yet simple vibe inside. We sat at a big round table for 6 and were serviced by 2 people. Service was pretty good except one of the servers seemed new so he was forgetting orders and simple orders like water. That said the food was tasty. We tried both the sushi and the duck and although I was hesitant to order the duck here it was pretty tasty. Sushi was good and the uni was very fresh. The dishes were tasty also. Traditional meets fusion if you ask me but was done well. All in all it was good and nice setting for a business dinner. read more

We had a 5 star experience at the Novikov Sunday brunch! I was a bit worried since they changed part of it to buffet, but it did not disappoint. We selected the premium option and were immediately served our champagne. The wasabi martini is AMAZING and one of the main reasons I go to Novikov for any meal. The hot appetizers such as bok choy and premium dim sum are brought to the table. The buffet is open to both regular and premium guests and is located behind the beautiful glass display. It includes a wide array of seafood: crab claws, lobster tail, tuna, salmon, yellowtail all available as nigiri or sashimi, along with 4 different types of dim sum and miso soup. So much to choose from! My favorite bite of the day was the premium nigiri. O-toro and A5 wagyu are brought to your table, slightly torched, and served. These MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. So good! With everything being unlimited, make sure you save room for your main course. For our entrees, we ordered a half Peking duck, wagyu ribeye, and two honey truffle king crab legs. All were of course delicious. Dessert is included as well, but I could barely take a few bites I was so full. I highly recommend asking for Victoria as your server, no matter when you go to Novikov. We have sat with her 2-3 times now and she is just the BEST! She is excellent at her job. Along with being friendly and professional, she ensured we always had full drinks and plenty of food. I cannot wait to return for this extraordinary brunch! read more
