Best Asian Food Restaurants in Goulds

"At this ultramodern rooftop restaurant over the Herzog & de Meuron-designed parking garage on Lincoln Road, the views are compelling, the decor is slick and comfortable, and the feeling is singular for South Beach. The menu, which includes both breakfast- and lunch-oriented plates, begins with a choice of a salad made with avocado, tomato, and Hawaiian hearts of palm; pink shrimp acevichado; beef carpaccio; or granola with yogurt, fresh fruit, and honey. Then, opt for one of the following: a smoked salmon eggs Benedict; branzino a la plancha; truffle spinach-mushroom quiche; or grilled skirt steak."

"Juvia is a rooftop restaurant situated at the top of the Herzog & de Meuron 1111 Lincoln Road building in Miami Beach. Guests at Juiva can expect to find a mixture of French, Japanese, and Peruvian cuisines on the menu, prepared by a talented team of chefs, who, together, have decades of training within each culture. The contemporary rooftop restaurant features a pared-back, modern design, surrounded by natural foliage — another great place to watch the sunset and dine under the stars."

"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."

"Whether you arrive for lunch, happy hour or dinner, expect this Wynwood hot-spot to be jumping with energy. Serving a diverse menu of beautifully executed pan-Asian, wood-fired cuisine, KYU is the kind of place where you’ll want to order one of everything. Some of the must-have dishes meant for sharing include a huge slab of roasted cauliflower drenched in shishito-herb vinaigrette and goat cheese; a hot pot of Thai fried rice crowned with an egg; kicked-up Korean fried chicken; and pillowy buns stuffed with crunchy soft-shell crab."

"When you want to treat yourself to a nice meal, hit up KYU in Wynwood for amazing Japanese food. The swanky vibe will lure you in and the steamed buns will have you never wanting to leave."

"We understand the insanity of telling you to go out to dinner just to take a picture of your dessert, but hear us out, because the Raindrop Cake at Azabu Miami Beach is Instagram legend. A glass-like confection made of water with pearl agar, kinako (roasted soybean powder) and Japanese black sugar syrup, it is both bewildering and inspiring. You will see it and immediately understand why it has its own hashtag."

"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."

"It may just be at Azabu Miami Beach, an upscale and trendy Japanese restaurant that serves some of the freshest fish in town."

"The scene inside Pubbelly Sushi’s brick-walled dining room in Sunset Harbour is hip and casual, and there's outdoor sidewalk seating as well. Here, the perfect order might include the bigeye tuna roll on a crispy, sticky rice cake with truffle oil; the snow crab roll with clarified butter; the Wagyu beef tartare roll; rock shrimp tempura; and Shishito peppers. Keep an open mind, too, because these “deconstructed” sushi rolls don't resemble anything you’ve seen before."

"Hands down the best place to sushi in Miami Beach is Pubbelly. They have about 15 different types of sushi rolls, each made to perfection. You can’t find rolls like these anywhere else, including the Arana made with soft shell crab, serrano, avocado and tomatillo or the Sake Aburi with Kanikama, salmon, yuzu, miso and truffle oil."

"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."

"The team behind celeb-favorite Sugar Factory launched the first Happy Place Donuts on Española Way in South Beach with a glass-enclosed kitchen allowing visitors to watch the donuts being made. While you can keep it simple and delicious by ordering a chocolate glazed or the original Happy Donut with a vanilla glaze, go for the outrageously fun options that include a rainbow donut topped with Skittles, monkey bread with sea salt cream cheese frosting, or a crispy Nutella donut. The Hot & Happy Dough Balls, a bag of brioche dough balls sprinkled in powdered sugar, are another popular choice."

"Come to Katsuya at the SLS South Beach hotel for impeccable cuisine from master sushi chef Katsuya Uechi and an equally impressive ambiance created by design impresario Philippe Starck. Chef Uechi works with traditional Japanese flavors and expertly adjusts them to match American tastes, to present a new take on Japanese cuisine. Check out the chef’s signature sushi roll – spicy tuna crispy rice studded with serrano pepper – or try a bit of all the menu highlights with the omakase menu."

"What do you get when you pair Chef Katsuya Uechi with designer Philippe Starck?. A butterfly decorated contemporary sushi lounge. The atmosphere is not the only attraction about Katsuya; the food is justifiably a crowd pleaser."

"One of Miami’s most-respected chefs, Piyarat Arreeratn (a.k.a. Chef Bee) has brought inspired Thai food to several Miami restaurants, including the lauded, now-shuttered Khong River House. These days, the Chiang Rai native co-owns a hip, Thai street food-inspired Sunset Harbor destination with his mom, serving spicy spring rolls and sriracha wings, in a hip, industrial-cool space. Bee’s fare updates Thai classics, including Chiang Rai curry, an elevated riff on khao soi with braised beef and springy noodles in a fragrant yellow curry base."

"Chef Bee puts a trendy twist on the Thai street food of his childhood with spicy and sweet chicken wings, beef jerky with a woody nahm jim jao sauce, fried garlic bok choy and more," the review notes."

"The Northern Thai and Japanese styles at NaiYaRa are a happy addition to the growing culinary hub in Sunset Harbor. The pricing may be on the higher side, but it’s worth it. The papaya salad, sriracha wings, and beef jerky will prime your taste buds for the crab fried rice and drunken udon."

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

"Seafood is another thing you will find at many Miami restaurants, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. My Ceviche is our favorite hidden gem we found on our last trip. This counter service eatery offers ceviche and poke bowl for just $10!"

"Little Havana’s shining star offers up Latin bites and beer in an intimate setting that includes a hidden back patio with a tropical vibe. The restaurant boasts locally-sourced ingredients and an award-winning chorizo croquettes dish. Order those for sure and compliment your starter with a short rib burger or a pan con bistec (juicy steak sandwich)."

Great for the whole family, this trail is relatively short (0.5-miles long) and totally easy and great for those that require a more accessible trail to follow. Read more: Fun things to do in Miami"

"This is a short 0.4-mile (0.64 km) easy rated loop trail that is flat and boarded. The elevated boardwalk trail goes directly over waterways of the national park while also giving chances to see wildlife. This is just one more quick trip into a better understanding of what is known as the Everglades."

"The domino park is located in Máximo Gómez Park on SW 15th ave. As you walk along Calle Ocho, you should be able to spot it. This is the perfect place to visit if you love traditional and authentic vibes!"

"#GoNative tip:Before you leave the ’hood, at least stroll by “Domino Park,” where old-timers join to play frequently and the clatter of dominoes can be heard down the street."

"Head to Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) to watch the heated competition at Domino Park or shop for a quality stogie. Plan to stay:2-3 hours"

"With its plentiful sun, abundant rain, and year-round growing season, Florida is one of the country’s largest produce growing states. The Knaus Berry Farm is one of South Florida’s most well-known family farms and has been around for more than half a century. Though they started small, their original roadside market has grown by leaps and bounds and now includes a variety of prepared food items like baked goods, ice cream, and packaged berries."

"When strolling along Calle Ocho in the afternoon, nothing satisfies like a scoop of something cold. So pop into Azucar Ice Cream Company, where you'll find flavors that could be dreamed up only in Miami. Located in the heart of Little Havana, this shop has long served frozen sweets with Cuban flair."
