Best Asian Food Restaurants in Downtown Miami

"Perched at the top of South Beach’s 1111 Lincoln Road building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, Juvia offers spectacular scenery along with a winning menu. With both indoor and outdoor seating, a vertical garden and 280-degree views of Greater Miami stretching from the beach to Biscayne Bay, you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world. The cuisine at this fine-dining establishment combines French techniques with Asian and Latin flavors."

"Sometimes romance needs a little boost… so, if you really want to impress your date, head to Lincoln Road in South Beach to elevate your dining experience at Juvia. Perched on the top of a designer parking lot, the restaurant has bragging rights to spectacular views of Miami Beach. Time it right for the golden hour to watch the sunset from the ultra-modern dining room swathed in purple, or from the open-air patio flanked by vertical gardens that glow at night."

"The swankiest rooftop terrace in all of Miami and the coldest pinot grigio in town. Insider tip: Arrive 30 minutes before sunset, order a few appetizers and get ready for a magical evening. Otherwise, consider a meal to-go with Juvia’s new pick-up option."

"The scene: Following the mantra “wabi-sabi” (the art of finding perfection in imperfection), KYU Miami is a modern Asian-inspired restaurant with rustic-industrial digs. The creative, artistic energy washes over you as soon as you step through the door and will stay with you long after your final bite. Rugged concrete walls, wooden and metal accents, and a huge open kitchen combine to give the place an urban loft-like feel, making KYU Miami the ideal place to catch up with friends over some stellar eats."

"The crowd here is as fashionable as its Wynwood neighborhood, so expect to see plenty of regulars and art lovers tucking into fried chicken. And while you’re most likely to hear KYU described as a contemporary Asian restaurant, that feels too simplistic. Try the duck breast “burnt ends” and Thai coconut cream spinach, which show off the menu's southern influences, or the shichimi-rubbed wagyu brisket for something a bit more indulgent."

"Or try the Asian-fusion cuisine at Kyu, Wynwood keeps going strong after dark, and some of Miami’s favorite nightlife venues are found here. For craft beer nerds, J. Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews."

"Since it debuted in early 2018, the Miami Beach outpost of this Michelin-starred New York City concept by the acclaimed Japanese hospitality group, Plan Do See, has been a hit among both locals and tourists. Their main menu features incredible options like succulent sea scallops from Hokkaido paired with creamy, rich uni, shichimi pepper, shisho, yuzu, and ponzu; Japanese wagyu tataki seared to perfection and drizzled with rich truffle oil; crispy golden lobster tempura served with spicy mayo and bubu rice crackers; and all kinds of delectable robata favorites, like Nagoya-style chicken wings with caramelized spice teriyaki sauce, and bonito BBQ pork belly skewers with bubu arare, chile, and lime. You can also choose from a broad assortment of sushi, sashimi and nigiri offerings, oysters on the half shell with Japanese mignonette, and a toro sampler, as well as a range of tempting rice dishes."

"You’d never guess this super authentic Japanese restaurant would be inside a hotel, but lo and behold, Azabu is located in the Marriott Stanton South Beach not too far from Ocean Drive. It feels worlds away, though. Dimly lit, quiet and beautifully understated, Azabu has a Michelin-starred sister location in Tribeca which inspired its Tokyo comfort food concept."

"This New York City import boasts a “hidden” sushi counter that serves omakase using local and imported seafood from fish markets in Japan. Wash it back with one of the 40 imported whiskies on hand."

"Pubbelly is an essential South Beach spot and a great place to sit outside with some cocktails and small plates while you judge the neon paint jobs on passing Ferraris. Sushi takes up the bulk of the menu - just don’t forget to put in an order for the butter krab roll, which is really just an efficient delivery system for warm clarified butter."

"Pubbelly is an Asian inspired gastropub serving delicious Asian-fusion dishes. Expect to find dishes like pork belly and scallion dumplings, udon carbonara and barbequed pork belly. This is a unique restaurant that serves light bites, main dishes and also beers from breweries in Asia, Europe and the Americas."

"Satisfy those sushi cravings with Pubbelly Sushi’s creative rolls. Order up its popular butter krab roll or sashimi platters and get 10 percent off your order using code PUBBELLYLOVE. Plus, save the receipt and get a bartender’s choice cocktail when it reopens."

"De cuela un poco el sonido del bar que se encuentra atrás, si decides sentarte afuera. Pero en general maravilloso todo."

"While sipping away on Tap 42’s bottomless mimosas, opt for the white chocolate chip pancakes to go with them. Made with plenty of white chocolate chips and topped with strawberries, powdered sugar, and whipped cream, they might be the only thing you won’t regret in the morning."

"Chef Irides Garcia brings authentic French cuisine to the vibrant Miami center in this quaint café, where gourmets enjoy homemade soups, village pies and delicious salads. On weekends, the atmosphere becomes relaxed, and locals and travelers order omelettes, waffles and poached eggs for breakfast."

"Bagel Emporium & Grille is the best bagel restaurant in the Miami area. If you’re looking for a relaxed yet sophisticated spot to grab a quick and inexpensive meal for breakfast or brunch, this is the place for you. Situated in Coral Gables, Bagel Emporium & Grille has been top rated for their bagels and deli sandwiches."

"La Boulangerie Boul’Mich is a French-style bakery, cafe, and breakfast eatery that offers fresh-made foods and baked goods every day. Their breakfast menu is quite egg-centric, with options for omelets, Benedicts, scrambles, and more as well as some classic French fare and other breakfast dishes like a croque madame, pain perdu, and buttermilk pancakes. Beverages are nonalcoholic, with options of freshly squeezed juice, Orangina, iced tea, and sparkling mineral water."

"A French bakery with a Latin twist” is their motto; a perfect way to reel in Miami’s Hispanic locals. While there might be a few Latin elements, La Boulangerie is most noticeably French. Light-filled and full of noise behind the counter, fresh-baked pastries that run out every day (best almond croissants)–straight from Paris’ own streets!"

"This is a popular French bakery that has a special Latin twist to it. Here, you will find mouth-watering pastries that are freshly baked every day. Since this artisanal bakery was opened 20 years ago, it has grown into one of the must-visit spots here in the city."

"You might not think Hialeah would house one of Miami’s most beloved French spots, but here we are. La Fresa Francesa is a Cuban-French mix, a pretty common fusion in our community in fact. You’ll find classic eats from crepes to steak frites, but everything with a Caribbean flare."

"Miami's reputation on the international art scene tends to focus on the new. The Magic City is the place where, once a year, collectors from around the world come to scope out the cutting edge of contemporary art. But what about the old?"

"The original Homestead Town Hall was built more than a century ago and has been converted into a museum boasting one of the area’s most complete collections of historic memorabilia related to the town. The items on display include vintage photographs, historical documents, and other unique tidbits of local interest; there’s even an old fire engine that was retired long ago. The Homestead Historic Town Hall Museum is located on North Krome Avenue and doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic, so it’s quite possible that visitors will have the place to themselves."

"Miami’s Wynwood Wallsare among the most popular, and colourful, outdoor attractions in the city. Vibrant street art and graffiti-style murals cover more than 80,000 square feet of wall space. Inspire your budding young artists with an exploration of this former warehouse district now known for its funky, eclectic, and very ‘gram-worthy, works of art."

"Our last day was spent at the creative Wynwood Walls art exhibit. Beautiful mosaics are spread across a few blocks on streets and on buildings, even on the sidewalks!"

"Between Northeast 25th and 26th streets on Northwest 2nd Avenue, the Wynwood Walls are a cutting-edge enclave of modern urban murals,…"
