This place never ceases to amaze me. I absolutely love and adore the owners. I was actually one of…read moretheir very first customers--back when they were just getting started--and I've been coming back ever since. Years later, this place still has its mojo. The food is just as delicious as it was on day one, the prices are reasonable, and the quality has never slipped. If anything, it's only gotten better. I recently tried a very well-known Vietnamese spot out west, and honestly? It didn't even come close. Their summer rolls and flavors don't hold a candle to this place. This is hands-down the best Vietnamese food in Miami, no contest. And definitely the best and most delicious PHO! What makes it extra special is the people. The owners greet me like family every time I walk in. They genuinely get excited to see me, we sit and talk while I eat, and it always feels warm, personal, and real. It's a small mom-and-pop restaurant, but that's exactly why it's magic. This place feels whole. It feels more intimate with a real taste of Vietnam not like some of these lavish outrageously expensive restaurants. This is the one.!!!!! This is my go-to. Always has been, always will be. Number one Vietnamese restaurant in all of Miami. Big hug and shout out to Kri

The place was cute and the service was decent. For the price (which I can't remember exactly), it just wasn't worth it. They give you one big piece of oxtail and a few small cut-up pieces, which didn't feel like enough. The broth was also pretty plain, so I found myself trying to build up the flavor instead of enjoying it as is. We also ordered calamari and spring rolls, and both were very bland. The only thing that really gave them any taste was the dipping sauce. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the peach wine it was really good and probably the highlight of the experience. Overall, I wouldn't go back for the food.

I'll admit there have been long gaps between visits and I've noticed little changes between those visits but consistency is the key. After entering, I peruse the menu and noticed there are way more Bubble Tea offerings than before. I immediately look for my favorites Ribs in Black Bean Sauce but quickly remembered that they went away and were replaced by Asian Style (Flanken) Short Ribs. It seems the pork ribs are back but not with the Black Bean Sauce so I decided to pass. I ordered Peking Duck Buns, Cucumber Salad and Pork and Shrimp Soup Dumplings. The dumplings are much smaller than before a one bite Soup Dumpling is kind of odd. The Cucumber Salad was bland, even with the addition of the chili crisp and oil, it didn't improve. The Peking Duck Buns were just okay, not as good as I remember. The dumplings were good even though they were small and didn't have much soup inside. Over all everything was just okay. It seems that Sanji has become very pedestrian and that's not what I look for when having Asian food. I gave three stars because the young lady working was friendly and very polite. And that's something that's lacking in the service industry here in South Florida.

We found parking right behind the restaurant near the back entrance. We were immediately greeted and seated by the server. Service was amazing, food was even better. I noticed multiple servers constantly scanning the restaurant to make sure customers are tended to. Ok now to the food. We had: Papaya salad ( my absolute favorite) I ordered medium spicy and it was the right amount of spice. Chicken wings - these came out of the kitchen piping hot Beef Pad see ew- I couldn't stop eating this. The flat wide noodles were so delicious Beef with broccoli and oyster sauce ( tastes so much better than it looks) the charred flavor of the broccoli was a home run. What I loved about the menu is that there's recommendations for spice level or choice of protein and beer pairing which was great! I think we found our new go-to Thai place.

We've been hitting up Mediterranean restaurants like nobody's business on this leg of our spring…read morebreak, in part because of our proximity to many, and in part because my progeny and I are currently obsessed with babaganoush in its many variations. For this particular dinner, we were also focused on finding a truly vegetarian friendly restaurant where we could take our dear friends. Kabobji was a wonderful choice for vegetarians, omnivores, and carnivores alike. It's a large restaurant with plenty of booths and large tables for gathering with friends and family. Someone I suspect to be an owner was working hard alongside his wait staff and displayed a sense of genuine hospitality. Above all, the restaurant has a rock solid kitchen. The falafel ($13.99 / 5 pieces) here were ****STELLAR****!!! They're shaped like Indian medu vada (fried with a hole in the middle), probably for the same reason: to allow as much of the surface to fry to that perfect golden crisp as possible. And Kabobji's falafel were, in fact, awesomely crisp and well textured, made from soaked chickpeas in the traditional style, perfectly sized, nuanced and subtle in flavor -- some of the best we can remember having. (For reference, we love Nish Nush and Tanoreen for falafel in NYC -- and I think our neighborhood must be one of the major international epicenters for falafel.) Also excellent: the baba ghannouj ($10.99 for the small size), just a bit chunky, enriched with a lot of tahini, a moderate amount of garlic, a touch of lemon. This is how we like to make it at home. The vegetable ghallaba platter ($20.99) was simply made with thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, a small amount of zucchini, I think, and a touch of tomato. I would've loved to have had a spritz of lemon or sprinkle of sumac for a more acidic component, perhaps a little less onion. Note that this dish works better as a main course when accompanied by something protein-y like hummus, but it was pleasant to eat alongside our other orders. A convive, who went with the mixed shawarma platter ($27.99), found it to be a generous portion size and enjoyed it, especially with a side of well composed fattoush salad (+$5.99 to upgrade). Beef shish kebab ($14.99) and lamb shawarma ($15.99) wraps were both excellent and moist, a good balance of protein and vegetable. I didn't try them, but the "cheese pies" ($12.99) turned out to be pitas covered with a large amount of melty white cheese that some young children might enjoy as pizza. (Mine probably would've found them to be "too cheesy," but they're mutants.) They came three to an order. When you dine in, they bring a big basket of warm pita / pida to the table -- quite a generous touch!! I think it's house made and of course went beautifully with our food. Bottom line: GREAT FALAFEL! Great, low-key, family-friendly vibe. Good for vegetarians and non-vegs. Go.

Because we had a large group, we ordered two veggie mezzas for the table. They come with grape leaves, baba ghannouj, and hummus, which makes them perfect for sharing. And the unlimited pita bread is always a win. The salad, so refreshing. The Lebanese cheese rolls are also amazing. Some of us switched it up and tried the spicy fish, sautéed shrimp, and the mixed shawarma platter. No regrets. The fish was so flavorful and the perfect size. LollllpThe rest of us stuck to the kabobs and lamb, which are consistently a safe bet. The space is great too. The huge windows give you beautiful lighting, and they have seating for large parties that still feels more private. We'll definitely be back.

The only issue we had was that my husband ordered Churrasco that was on the menu and what he received what looked like a rib eye steak. My husband said it tasted more like a pork chop.
