We came during happy hour and ordered most of the menu items - avocado nigiri, scallop nigiri, waygu handrolls, fish curry. The avocado nigiri and the fish currry were my fav! I also got a guava margarita for $10. We got a huge amount of food and it was a great value! I definitely recommend coming during happy hour and taking advantage of the deal. Uchi is probably the best restaurant in the Wynwood area if you're looking for real, thoughtful food. Finish with the fried milk sundae!

Went here with my son, his girlfriend and my husband. Since they have been here before we let them order. They were out of quite a few things, so that was disappointing. They did offer a nice crudo as complementary. Some of the highlights: scallops and oysters were delicious. The tempura shrimp was good as well. Everything was very fresh but some things were not as good as others. Meaning not everything was great. The toro was very good. The less fatty was just as good as the more fatty one. They were out of the waygu but substituted amberjack which we ate but don't usually eat without telling us until it came out. The desserts were excellent the jasmine cream and banana cake was an excellent finish to our meal. Drinks were very good. But did not have any diet soft drinks. Casual atmosphere.

The designated parking isn't clear and was full.

The trash and environment outside of the venue is distracting ... Im a native born and raised and knew what to anticipate but still it was disappointing. If you are willing to overlook that aspect, it is a unique experience and I would recommend you try it. I cant say enough good things about chef and his beautiful lady.

Also, people kept strolling in, looks like they have a private back area. People were interestingly dressed and kept taking photos near the back. The service was okay, it felt like the food took long to come out, considering there weren't a lot of diners there. Two of us had the picanha, it was good but it was à la carte, so I ordered potatoes with like a chili oil topping as a side. Split that with my daughter who ordered the mahi mahi and really enjoyed the mahi. The last person in our party ordered a chicken dish, I think it might have been Asian style; she said it was okay.

He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made excellent recommendations and helped us choose the Chef's Centerpiece for Two. We also tried the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. One unique touch I loved was that after the meal, they brought warm essential oil towels to refresh your hands, which was especially nice after enjoying seafood. It made the experience feel even more luxurious. Be sure to save room for dessert! They have a wonderful selection, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious.

What surprised me was the excellent service, from start to finish. I arrived early and had a drink at the bar, served by a gorgeous, knowledgeable and polite bartender. As it was early, I probably paid attention to the others at the bar more than I would normally, and it was a very colorful, diverse mix. Beautiful people dressed to the nines, a few couples and a few who were obviously tourists. Great start! The highlights included the dumplings, truffle fries and Snapper. I am a French fry purist, but these changed my mind! I would skip the tuna with caviar over rice appetizer. This one hurt as it was highly recommended by our server. The proportion is just wrong. The mushrooms as a main side were also rather pedestrian. I know we had multiple desserts, but I can't remember them. A big plus for me is that we were rooftop, but it is fully enclosed. Smart and perfect for Miami's unpredictable weather. Since it's clear, you won't miss a thing.

Rating: 5.0 Been a…read morehuge fan of the Iron Chef show since I was a kid and my favorite has aways been the Japanese Chef Masaharu Morimoto! And since experiencing his Disney Springs restaurant Morimoto Asia, I had been looking forward for him to come to Miami. This was a couple of years back during the cooler season in Miami. RESTAURANT: I just know that this location is going to be beautiful. Chef Morimoto restaurants are worldwide and so I was not disappointed to see how beautiful this restaurant was and how perfectly complemented the vibe of the Wynwood scene. The restaurant doors open to the street, which was perfect during our winter visit. Inside is an open floor plan with a variety of seating options from the izakaya style table, banquet dining against the wall, to the huge bar. There are even covered seating outside that reminded me of New York. Decor is both minimal but with burst of colors with his signature wall art and backlit panels against the wall. And ofcourse, it won't be an authentic Japanese restaurant without the a display of hyper-realistic food models which can be found as soon as you enter the restaurant to entice your taste buds. Everything just looked sleaked and clean and love the pop of green from the huge fig trees. SERVICE: Service was amazing. From the moment we entered, we were greeted and seated right away for our reservation. Our server answered all of our questions and suggested some fruity cocktails. And lo and behold, owner Chef Morimoto himself presented us with our food and torched it right infront of us! He was so polite and humble and wonderful. We watched him moved from one side of the restaurant to the other with the endurance of a guy in his 20s and he's like 60 something! He did not stop. It was such a treat to have him in our table and how he indulged us when we chanted "Iron Chef! Iron Chef!". It was an amazing experience. FOOD: The menu have the right amount of options, from finger food to ramen, sushi and not to mention the drinks. For starters, pork belly and soft shell crab bao and bbq ribs. Deliciousness! The buns warm and pillowy. The pork, so tender. But that soft shell crab...that made me want to slap someone it was so good. Flavorful, no fishiness whatsoever, crunch on the outside and just happiness on the inside. I will eat a million of these. Then my friend ordered some Yakitori fresh from the grill: chicken, pork belly, shrimp, wagyu. They were simple, fresh and so fingerlicking good. Then the ramen; tonkotsu and gyukotsu. On this cold evening, it was exactly what we needed. These two huge bowls we passed around our table of six. The broth were divine! The pork belly was so delicate that it melts in your mouth. The beef falling off the bones were so tender and delicious. Sushi rolls: spider roll and the surf and turf. The spider roll with that soft shell crab was bomb. But the that A5 wagyu surf and turf was the star of the show. It comes out as raw slices on a roll and Chef Morimoto came out and torched it himself next to our table! I don't know if it tasted spectacular because it's wagyu or because the chef himself had torched it but this was my favorite! Overall, this was the most memorable dining experience I've had in a long time. I am sure that fangirling over the Iron Chef was the main reason but it seems that everything just fell into place for us that evening. Parking was literally next door in the garage, super easy no drama. Service was next level, maybe because the boss was there but we were not going to complain. And the food, impeccable! Pricepoint is just reasonable considering the quality, quantity and the location. It is definitely worth the trip coming here and I can't wait to visit again soon to see if everything will be the same without the Chef Morimoto around. I have a feeling it will be just as wonderful.

This place, however, is a major exception! 1-800-Lucky is an Asian food hall in the heart of the Wynwood neighborhood in Miami (north of downtown and Brickell, west of midtown, south of design district). This food hall packs a punch and would be right at home in LA, SF, NYC, CHI, SEA, etc. The restaurant options include korean, authentic Chinese, sushi, dim sum, Ramen, and Thai street food. The Korean restaurant and thai food, in particular, are stellar. Portions a bit small for price (most entrees 18-23 dollars with side items less. I am a big eater and was able to eat entire thai meal, korean meal my last visit with little more room. I like smaller sizes here to give me excuse to order variety of places without waste (other than money arguably). Most people likely to be good with one entree and side from most establishments. There is also a cocktail bar with great outdoor patio conducive to both hanging with friends for cocktails or sipping Boba tea while catching up on some work. The restaurants have self service ordering screens where u order/pay. Employees will bust your table when done with meal. Have been coming here for years now since it opened and always leave satisfied.
