Best Asian Food Restaurants in Hibiscus Island

"Set up in a modern penthouse with views of Miami Beach, Juvia is the local’s go-to when it comes to rooftop restaurants. The menu matches the avant-garde décor—offering an eclectic mix of French, Japanese, and Peruvian meals varying from tuna poke to duck confit. Decorated in a lovely lilac and white motif underneath the starry-night sky, this outdoor restaurant checks all the boxes so that you can focus on sealing the deal."

"A contemporary restaurant buzzing atop the 1111 Lincoln Road mixed-use building and parking garage, Juvia is a welcome breather from one of Miami’s most popular tourist destinations. Diners take a separate elevator up to a terrace for French, Japanese, and Peruvian plates, along with specialty cocktails and South Beach sights."

"You’ve surely dined at Juvia in the evening, but have you visited this rooftop restaurant for brunch?. Beyond the unbelievable city views, Juvia serves a pretty affordable bottomless brunch (by Miami Beach standards, at least). Enjoy two hours of all-you-can-drink mimosas, tequila margaritas or bellinis for $30."

"Asian grill Kyu’s commitment to eco-friendly, sustainably dining is unparalleled (from the micro herb garden in the dining room to the in-house Orca composter that turns waste into water), but it’s chef Michael Lewis’ ability to utilize every element of an ingredient that we find most impressive. Take his signature duck breast burnt ends, a smoky and crisp breast served with yuzu pickles. After the meat is charred in the wood-fired oven, the renderings are sent to the bar, where they are repurposed into a cocktail cheekily named the Duck Duck Jous."

"Within a year of its debut, this modern Asian small plates concept had earned national recognitition. It should not have been a surprise. Founded by two Zuma veterans, the Wynwood spot is so hot, it can take months to score a reservation between 7 and 9 p.m."

"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."

"A Michelin-starred concept from New York City, Sushi Azabu offers sushi in several different areas, but sushi lovers should check out "The Den," a hidden sushi counter behind the kitchen. The 11-seat bar, which requires reservations, offers omakase-style dining with seafood flown in from Japan. If you prefer to dine at home, Azabu has launched Bubusan, a delivery-only offshoot that delivers omakase boxes of sushi (including a vegan offering) in exquisite packaging."

"Pure Wow recommends Azabu Miami Beach as one of the best restaurants in South Beach. It is a Michelin-starred restaurant that is inspired by the New York City restaurant style. The restaurant is divided into three sections as there is a cocktail bar, an elegant main dining room, and a sushi den with just 11 seats."

"An OG on South Beach, Pubbelly Sushi is best known for its rolls like its Instagram famous butter krab roll made with goma soy paper, kanikama, ponzu, with warm clarified butter for dipping. Start out with the tuna pizza, and ease into the rolls and robata offerings. But be careful, while portions are a decent and meant for sharing, it’s easy to get overly excited and want them all."

"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."

"You can try many things on the menu if you are with a group of people because they are pretty small plates."

"Try the Yellowtail Sashimi Seviche with ginger, garlic and soy, or a tiradito such as Tuna with lemon and fuji apple vinaigrette. Also from the sushi bar … […]"

"This fashionable Chinese bistro chain gets high marks with South Dade's trendier diners, who are all about the contemporary interior and eclectic menu. Start off with do-it-yourself lettuce wraps–these babies alone are worth the trip. Afterwards, go any route you like, from Szechwan or Hunan to Cantonese or Shanghai."

"Located at 1854 Bay Road in Bayshore, the sushi bar, Thai and Japanese spot is the highest rated Japanese restaurant in Miami Beach, boasting 4.5 stars out of 523 reviews on Yelp. Avid participators in Miami Spice, NaiYaRa has been featured in numerous publications, including Time Out's Guide to the Best Thai food in Miami. "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."

"Led by beloved Miami chef Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, a.k.a. Chef Bee, NaiYaRa is a perfectly mismatched representation of what happens when past and present come together. Prepare for a flavor overload as Chef Bee uses locally sourced ingredients to meld Thai street food with Japanese specialties and serves them family-style. That means that you might see something like popcorn shrimp on the menu, but it will come with shiitake mushrooms and spicy mayonnaise."

"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."

"Inspired by the four ‘T’ cities — Tel Aviv, Thong Sala, Tokyo, and Tulum — the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall is full of photo opportunities. With many hidden spots boasting beautiful Instagram backgrounds, you’ll have to explore the entire premises to discover them all. We won’t keep you guessing too much, though — here are some of our favorites:"

"The Barsecco serves classic and inventive cocktails, the best wines from around the world and beers. The ambience is trendy and classy with plush interiors, barn wood and draping vines. The lighting is dim and intimate, offering a great setting for a date night."

"First Watch is an award-winning Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch favorite that specializes in both traditional and innovative creations all freshly prepared to order. Coral Gables Love reader Leo recommends the skillet hash farmhouse style. First Watch is located at 5799 NW 7th St, Miami, FL."

"This massive brick edifice, a copy of the original blown up by the Germans in WWII, began life as a wooden stronghold of the dukes of Mazovia in the 14th century. Its heyday came in the mid-17th century, when it became one of Europe’s most splendid royal residences. It then served the Russian tsars and, in 1918, after Poland regained independence, became the residence of the president. Today it is filled with period furniture and works of art."

"The restaurant started as a South Florida burger chain in the ’50s, grew to 150 locations, and then nearly went out of business, leaving just one left in the Miami neighborhood of Gladeview. The world’s last Royal Castle is now run by the grandson of the first black employee to work at the company. And while that is, in fact, a great story, it wouldn’t be on this list if you couldn’t also get great food there too."
