    Picture of the restaurant

    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.

    Piman Bouk Restaurant...great Goat stew, conch fritters, and the fried chicken is succulent! The rice and beans is incredibly flavorful!
    Austin F.

    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.

    Griot (fried pork) dinner, rice and beans, pikliz, salad, tostones

    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.

    Breakfast: Mais Moulin & Poussin

    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.

    Oxtail and red beans n rice ( THE BEST)
    Natalia W.

    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.

The flavors were really hittin--not salty but definitely not lacking in flavor and complexity. So delicious The only criticism I would have from what I ordered is that the rice was ever so slightly undercooked which made it a bit dry. Other than that, everything was great. There's not really a server--you order and they text you when it's ready. Then you come pick it up and go to your table. But the cashier lady was very nice and helped me decide what to get.

If you're looking for something unique to try at the Citadel, Manjay is worth a shot. They serve Haitian cuisine. Portions were generous and in general, the food was kind of heavy. Many of the components I believe were made to order, so there was a short wait. Here's what my wife and I ordered: Appetizer: * Caribbean Conch Fritters ($14) - Manjay pikliz, honey mustard remoulade These were big and tasty. Six pieces, like giant hush puppies with conch inside. The plate came with pikliz in the center. Pikliz is like the Haitian version of coleslaw, made with cabbage, carrots, onions, and peppers. Manjay's version was spicy and yummy. Bowls, each with 2 sides and 1 sauce: * Honey Jerk Chicken Bowl ($18) - breaded and tossed in Manjay's homemade honey jerk sauce; with red beans rice and sweet plantains and scotch bonnet mango aioli * From Haiti with Love (Griyo) ($18) - Deep-fried Kreyol-style slow-braised pork; with banan payzay and toofay Both the chicken and pork were very good and flavorful. The pork was served bone-in. The rice and beans and sweet plantains were comforting and addictive. The scotch bonnet mango aioli was spicy. Banan payzay are Haitian pressed plantains. These were savory and starchy. The toofay ("legume") was good too. It's a hearty vegetable stew, essentially Haitian ratatouille. Our cashier was Roniqua and she was nice. During our visit, I think Manjay had the longest line (a good sign). After walking around, looking at the other food court options and seeing Manjay's high rating on Yelp, we were sold on Manjay. We dined in so we got real plates and silverware. We actually took everything up to the rooftop bar and ate up there. Our trays were bussed by the staff on the roof. Along with this location at the Citadel food court in Little River (just north of Little Haiti), Manjay has a casual strip location near the Miami airport in Doral. This Citadel location is the original; it opened in February 2019. The Doral location opened in 2024.

I got the tofu with rice and the spinach stew, and my boyfriend got the chicken with yellow cornmeal. We haven't had Haitian food, but we both enjoyed our entrees. The portion sizes were large and I think most people could eat this for two meals.
