Best Asian Food Restaurants in Kendall West

"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."

"Last but not least, Juvia is one of Miami’s classic rooftop bars centrally located in Miami Beach on Lincoln Road. Take the private elevator to the stunning indoor/outdoor restaurant and lounge that offers beautiful views of Miami, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Art Deco District. The food menu has a blend of the regional cuisines of Asia, vibrant flavors of South America, and classic French techniques making the ceviches, tiraditos, fresh seafood, and prime meats a must order."

"Juvia, the stunning restaurant on the rooftop of the iconic 1111 Lincoln Road building in South Beach, features a brunch menu worthy of its postcard-perfect setting.

"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."

"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."

"When it comes to Japanese restaurants and food, the first thing that pops into most people’s heads is sushi. However, there’s plenty of frying, grilling, steaming, and simmering going on in Japanese kitchens as well!.

"This New York City import boasts a “hidden” sushi counter inside its main restaurant, which serves omakase using local and imported seafood from the top fish markets in Japan.

"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."

"Run by Sergio Navarro and Jose Mendin – a James Beard Award nominee – Pubbelly Noodle Bar caters to pork lovers. At this Bayshore hotspot, bao buns are jammed with suckling pig, dumplings swell with pork belly and slabs of barbecue pork float in bowls of ramen.

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."

Coupled with a striking view over Biscayne Bay, it is easy to see why this place has become a firm favorite with Miamians."

"If romance to you means big bucks and high caloric intake, this splurge-worthy Italian restaurant is your best option.

This highly recommended place, located in the Miami-Dade Cultural Center, does just that, weaving together the stories of the region’s successive waves of population, from Native Americans to Nicaraguans."

"HistoryMiami Museum, formerly known as the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, was founded in 1940 and is the largest history museum in the state of Florida. The museum offers the community, its residents and visitors meaningful ways to connect with the rich past as well as the ever-evolving future of the region and its diverse inhabitants."
