Piman Bouk delivers an authentic taste of Haiti in the heart of Miami. The fried fish was crispy and flavorful, paired perfectly with plantains, pikliz, and rice. Portions were generous and the food tasted freshly prepared. While the atmosphere is casual and service can be busy during peak hours, the quality and authenticity of the cuisine make it a worthwhile stop for anyone wanting traditional Haitian food. read more

I always enjoy Piman Bouk whenever I'm in town. Great and authentic tasting Haitian food, never disappoints. It's doesn't have the bells and whistles, only accepts cash but the food and service makes up for it. Look forward to being back when I'm in the area. read more

This place was on my list to try. It's tucked away on NE 2nd Ave, and I could have left it there. The place is dark and not inviting at all. The young lady serving me didn't great me and didn't speak much. She only nodded. She did manage to say," Cash only." I ordered grist complete, which comes with rice and beans, salad, and plantains. The salad was food. The rice and beans were food, not the best. I've had better. The grist was just fried pork. It was NOT authentic. It was not marinated with sours or limes. It was not what I expected. The cost was $12, which was a decent price for the amount of food, but the grist was poorly made, and I had 80% just fat pieces. I would not recommend this place at all. Sorry, no pic's. The presentation was good but if the food isn't tasty, you can forget the presentation. read more

The food tastes terrible, they must gave jited another cook. The food is bland. The ple coukd use a makeover!

Everything was great! Griot rice & beans.. Rice was cooked to perfection. Went for lunch time, they were busy but it wasn't a long wait time

I brought my boyfriend there to show him where I grew up and I used to come to this restaurant all the time because it was across the street. The rice was mushy and didn't have any flavor. The sauce wasn't even sauce it was the grease. The servers weren't friendly and looked like they didn't want to be there. While sitting inside to eat, it was dark and then there were 2 mice running around under the table next to us. We immediately lost our appetites and left. This was not a good experience at all. I was very disappointed. read more

My babe and i came here when we flew in on Friday and the food had soo much food in the container. The food was sooo yummy that we had to eat the rest the next day. Now that i found a new Haitian spot I'll come here all the time. read more

The griyo (fried pork) is the best thing on their menu! Get a complete plate (plat complet) with diri kole(rice and beans) and fried banan (plantains) it feels like old school Haitian party food. Consistent product and not a long wait. I always get take out and food is ready rather swiftly read more

Very good. You won't be disappointed. Anytime I visit Miami, I purposely buy food from this restaurant and package it up and take it home to my Haitian father who eats the plate clean! Yeah, it's that good. Try it! It is cash only, so be prepared when you pay. read more

I tried the tostones, rice and beans, and fried chicken and it was amazingly delicious. The goat stew and conch fritters are incredibly tasty and succulent. This local Haitian restaurant in Little Haiti is a hidden jewel and my kids who are incredibly picky loved the food. The staff is truly kind and very friendly. read more

Let me begin by saying I really do like this place, the food is delicious. I've had this place a few times but never actually went myself until recently. It's a small restaurant located in little Haiti, you actually wouldn't know it was there because it's kind of off to the side. The inside gives off a subtle creole vibe, my only complaint would be the lighting was very dark. I only get the fried pork however I did want to try the fried turkey which was sold out. The rice is always just right and everything is flavorful. I love my pork fried hard and that's exactly what they give you. The food is great, customer service is ok, not very much interaction besides getting my order taken and receiving my food, the prices are reasonable but they're aren't very many sides to choose from. I'd recommenced giving it a try just for the food. read more

Piman Bouk Restaurant - Griot (fried pork) dinner, rice and beans, pikliz, salad, tostones - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

For years I have been going to another Haitian spot just down the road, but since it wasn't open I ended up trying this place. A friend and I came in about 10 minutes before close but the woman at the counter kindly took our order and let us eat there after close. I ended up getting the griot which was phenomenal along with their pikliz and oxtail gravy. All were exactly what I would expect from a great Haitian restaurant. Great service and great food, will definitely return. read more

Best Ox Tails! Saying this from California. I don't care how they treat me I'm going back the food speaks for itself we ate here like 5 times read more

This is where YeYe takes us when we're flying through Little Haiti. You better be hungry! Good to bring your Haitian friend to help you through the choices and the portion. You could feed three with the portions here. That everything I've had here is perfectly and lovingly prepared is like an afterthought with the portions they serve. Usually when you get portions this size it's usually to make up for quality. Not so at Piman Bouk Restaurant. When you walk in their front door, they are all business when it comes to eating. If you're not REALLY hungry, that's your problem. Haitian's are a proud people and the Piman Bouk folks can be proud of what they serve. YeYe picked us up at the airport and KP wanted a nice breakfast with a couple eggs and toast. No luck! Piman Bouk had mais moulin (Haiti's answer to slow cooked polenta and grits - but even more serious). What they don't tell you is that the accompanying meat choice is a major portion. I ordered the mais moulin with poussin (fish) and was expecting a plate with a couple pieces of deep fried fish on the side -- like I get from my Liberian friends. Not a chance. The first sign of trouble -- the good kind -- was the dinner salad! Yes, the large typical Haitian breakfast has a salad. It was a good salad, the only minus is that they bring out two bottles of salad dressing like they was your Auntie Flo. Then she comes out with a side dish of the perfectly cooked -- corse ground -- mais moulin with beans. Like, why a little side plate and where's the fish? Oh ... MY ... God! You better be fully awake in the morning so your eyes can open wide enough to see this! Look at the picture, it's fo real! We had to eat some first so that it would fit in the frame. No piece of nothin here. The whole fish is floppin off the ends of the platter, swimmin in butter. YeYe chuckled at the size, "Brother, they brought you the whole SHARK, haha! With a whole banan boule (boiled plantain) in your face, like a big smile, laughing at you cause it knows you can't eat it all. Tole ya to bring a good Haitian friend. Except mine was working on a platter of liver and onions of his own. Glad I'm not having my cholesterol checked for another month. Breakfast also comes with a big glass of fresh squeezed juice -- mango this morning. I didn't really have to say a "big" glass, what else were you expecting? Make sure you get some of that pikliz on the side, not because you need something more, but pickiz (pickled cabbage and scotch bonnet chili) is the Haitian hot sauce. Goes perfectly with the fish, but Haitians look at you funny when you want pikliz first thing in the morning. Tout blan se blan... The previous time we were connecting through Miami from Port au Prince, and we were looking to catch a couple winks at the pad before heading out at 4AM, YeYe brought us by Piman Bouk after 11PM. The weary staff were too happy whip us up few dinners and hang out for some chit-chat. Once again, food wasn't our big priority, but the folks at Piman Bouk aren't sympathetic to light eaters, no mercy! I ended up with a platter of Lambi (conch) that was first rate. If you thought you liked abalone, then you have to try this. Sea fresh taste, rich, buttery and tender. I wasn't starving but each bite begged me to eat another. Glad there was a bed to fall into blocks away. But don't do this every night. I'm actually NOT a big fish eater so I look forward to when I have a couple days and more time where I can have a leisurely meal at Piman Bouk with some real foodies and a day to recover. read more

Piman Bouk Restaurant - Breakfast: Mais Moulin & Poussin - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

The food was okay, only complain was our rice was DRIPPING IN OIL.. it's like someone poured a container of oil in each rice box . Didn't find out they were cash only till we were about to pay. read more

Had this for dinner tonight as my favorite restaurant chez Le Bebe is closed temporarily and honestly I think I may have found my new favorite. The amount of food for the price is the best part! I can feed myself AND my son off of one plate. I need to enjoy this while it lasts as his appetite is growing....with him. Or I can eat off of it for two days. Either way the food is good. You won't be disappointed. I wish they were on uber eats because sometimes I am a little lazy and don't want to go out. If you're ever in the area and want some authentic Haitian food, give this place a try! Oh and be sure to bring cash! read more

This restaurant was SOOOOO GOOD clean, polite people, great service and AMAZING FOOD the chef came out and was super kind and sweet, they have SUPER GOOD OXTAIL AND RED BEANS & RICE ( that's what I Had ) like there's no way it won't be amazing that was the best thing there to me, The fried fish was really good too, and the food was super cheap hopefully I can come again ( I'm from Cali ) my dad saw a video of this place on YouTube and wanted to come, it was totally more than I expected and worth it. read more

Good food. We got a plate of legume and shared it cause we werent super hungry but def tasted good. Gota come back to try the joumou sometime read more

Never disappoinment s. Great portions and great taste, best in Miami since they are not too much good Haitian restaurants in Dade county

I had the legume ak sospwa (black bean sauce) and rice. I was very pleased. Since being in Florida In my opinion the most authentic tasting flavors of Haitian food that I know of. Service was ok . I came with a friend who travels to Haiti about three times a year and he enjoyed his diri kole tremendously. Interior design is Haiti artwork. read more

On my last trip to Miami my friends and I needed some real back home food after staying south beach. All of the local Haitian local told us to try here including our taxi driver. Cons-I couldn't tell if it was because of the way we were dressed on this particular Sunday afternoon, but the waitress really took two other tables orders before she came and took our order despite us being their before hand.....next time, we will dress in church attire....... The waitress was also not helpful, we ask her for a specific item and instead telling us, she told us that it was on the menu and we should keep looking (frekan-oui) Cons #2: The salad dressing, one that looked like Caesar but tasted like ranch and the other thousand island and relish mi!?! i don't know what that was all about. Con #3: (passion fruit juice w/ milk) was sour.... Con#4 the first time we went, we did not received any pikliz and the second time they gave us some bootleg pikliz made with hot sauce. Now on to the pros: #1 : Papaya juice with milk was great same as when i was a kid #2 Griot (friend pork shoulder chunks) and Tassot Cabrit (Fried goat chunks) was to die for....the tassot was so tender and fresh....the best i've had...ever.... #3 The legume .....LORD JESUS......They was by far the best of the best omg the meat the crab was so tasteful.....and i don't even like Legumes. #4: The Rice was ok nothing spectacular to be honest but it wasn't bad either. (duri blan ak sauce pois nois and duri kole) white rice and black bean sauce or red beans and rice. The price was great coming from New York, it was nice to buy some griot and legume for $7.00 and Tassot for $10 when in NY they are 12 and 15. read more

3.5 stars! Family-owned. Simple. Delicious food. I was visiting the Haitian church in front of this establishment and decided to come here to try some Haitian cuisine. I recommend trying the griot "fried pork". The portions are substantial, and for only $9, I got a salad, rice and beans, tostones, and pork. It was just delicious-- simple, large, and delicious. If you are looking to expand your culinary horizons by trying Haitian cuisine, I would recommend coming here. However, do not expect 5 star digs. This place is very simple. Friendly service. A somewhat limited menu (offering salad, rice and tostones with different proteins), and a fine wood interior. read more

Didn't like it at all. I completely prefer chez rosie & chef creole. rice might as well have been uncle ben's with red beans from a can. my chicken stew had pieces of oxtail in it....what?! read more

Wandered by Piman Bouk Restaurant while staying in Little Haiti. It was my first Haitian meal. I ordered the fried goat and plantain. There was some difficulty communicating with the waitress so I wasn't quite sure what to expect would come to my table. Along with my correct order I also was served a salad, a mystery sauce/soup and a bowl of unidentified vegetables. The waitress left several squirt bottles of dressing, one was ranch, the other, something red. Neither the goat nor the plantain were seasoned but the goat tasted fresh and flavorful. The plantain seemed dry and generally lacking flavor. The place is a a bit ramshackle and dark, but the price was right and the waitress provided competent service. read more

Piman Bouk Restaurant - Griot and plantain yummmm - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

This was such a horrible experience. As soon as I walked in the lady's at the front were extremely rude not even acknowledging my presence so I could order. She deliberately ignored me and served the guest behind me even though I was first patiently waiting. My money and time was better spent elsewhere. I'm a huge fan of Haitian food but I would not recommend this place! Just awful! read more

Went here by mistake. The person gave us the address not the name of the restaurant and when we looked it up on google Piman Bouk came up. However, when we got there it was across the street and it seems like we should have eaten at the location across the street. Oh well next time. I had the fried chicken which was fried well but a bit greasy. The red beans and rice had too many cloves but the pickled spicy sauce was really good and the prices were cheap for the portions. For your Creole fix go elsewhere. read more

There needs to be a 0 stars option. Let me start by saying the service was probably the worse I've ever experienced at a Haitian restaurant in Miami (and that's saying a lot!). The waitress/cashier/hostess ESTHER was INCREDIBLY rude! Management should really looking into service training. Don't think just because Haitian restaurants are known for bad service that it's a pass. I can easily take my money to chez le Bebe up the road. Esther seemed annoyed that I wanted to stay and eat instead of taking out. I ordered tasot simp (fried goat and plantains) and my nephew had oxtails. In the middle of our meal I got a call from the tow company that I was waiting for. I asked Esther for 2 to-go boxes and mini containers to pack up our food. She looked at me and didn't respond. I said it again a little bit louder and she literally rolled her eyes and walked to the back without acknowledging what I said! I looked at the 2 ladies sitting behind the counter and asked if they could get me the boxes and one of them turned around and yelled "Esther, your customer". At this point I'm livid. I go back to wait for the boxes and I see esther come from the back and stay behind the counter I go BACK to the counter and she slides the boxes my way before I can say anything. I ask her for the small containers for the sauces and the check and she says ok. She comes to my table with the container and no check. I walk to the counter and ask how much??? She says $25. I look at her confused and say how? When the tasot simp is cheaper then with rice?? I give her $20 and walk out. Never returning to this place again and I'll tell anyone who'll listen not to go! Oh and did I mention that they're cash only?!?! read more

Been here twice and enjoyed my food every time!!! I had rice and beans with fries turkey and sweet plantains !!! Can I just say that the turkey was tender and bursting with flavor!!!'

The food here is very homey and delicious. The portions were more than generous, and the chicken is undoubtedly the most tender well-cooked chicken I've ever had!
