Best Asian Food Restaurants in Palmetto Estates

"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."

"Miami Beach's Juvia is a rooftop sparkler flaunting French, Japanese, and Peruvian inspired cuisine. Situated atop Lincoln Road's illustrious 1111 Garage, this James Beard Award winner for Outstanding Restaurant Design offers wondrous, unobstructed views of Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. Juvia's stylish, urban-meets-Eden polishings include a lavender and white color palette and Wonderland-worthy vertical garden."

"If you time your arrival right, you can catch the sunset through floor-to-ceiling windows or in the rooftop dining room complete with vertical gardens. With panoramic views of South Beach and beyond, this penthouse-level hot spot is a great place to impress your date. The menu isn’t too shabby either, offering an eclectic mix of contemporary takes on Japanese, French, and Peruvian cuisine."

"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."

"From the stellar service and beautiful décor to the delicious bites and whimsical cocktails, KYU knocks everything out of the park. Rule #2: Get the tasting menu. At $75 per person, it’s one of the best deals in town and you’ll get to try all of KYU’s greatest hits (and then some) like the famous roasted cauliflower, Korean fried chicken, and the coconut cake."

"KYU is one of the hottest tables in town, serving a diverse menu of beautifully executed pan-Asian, wood-fired cuisine by Chef Michael Lewis. With a vertical garden exterior wall and a minimalist-chic industrial interior, the scene is buzzy and sophisticated from lunch to happy hour and dinner. It’s the kind of place you want to order one of everything."

"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."

"This Michelin-starred concept from NYC is split between an elegant dining room, a chic cocktail bar and an 11-seat secluded sushi den inspired by a Tokyo izakaya. In any setting, you’ll sup on some unforgettable fish. We’re big fans of the salmon tataki drizzled in a kelp dashi dressing."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Katsuya resides within the SLS Hotel South Beach and has quickly become the absolute best place to visit for unique custom-made sushi rolls in all of South Florida. Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi has spent years perfecting the delicate art of sushi and has carefully crafted several special rolls to fit American palates. Signature dishes include Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna, Kanpachi Tataki, Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño and Miso-Marinated Black Cod."

"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."

"Situated on a serene rooftop terrace surrounded by natural foliage, Mila Miami is a restaurant, lounge, and mixology bar in Miami Beach. Combining elegant dining with glamorous nightlife and serving a mix of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine ('MeditterrAsian'), this high-end restaurant will give you and your date a night to remember."

"The swanky and massive 13,000-square-foot space boasts a serenely stylish indoor dining area, an outdoor terrace complete with an intimate omakase-style bar, and bites like shawarma-spiced wagyu dumplings, Alaskan king crab tempura, and an assortment of nigiri and sashimis."

"This self described “MediterrAsian” eatery is known just as much for its show-stopping scenery as it is for its cuisine. Grab a drink on its expansive rooftop patio and soak in the gorgeous views and the gorgeous people. View this post on Instagram"

"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."

"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."

"Sunset Harbour's NaiYaRa is helmed by Thai chef Bee, as he’s known, whose previous credits include Nobu and Khong River House, and the restaurant is his ode to the northern Thai cuisine of his grandparents and where he spent..."

"A post shared by Izakaya Restaurant (@izakaya_restaurant) on Oct 17, 2017 at 7:19pm PDT. Su-Shin Izakaya in Coral Gables is one of those “If you know, you know” places. It doesn’t really promote itself, and the place has barely any social media presence; we found out about it through word of mouth."

"Izakayas – Japanese bars serving small plates that tend to go well with drinking – seem to be the latest trend. But Su Shin Izakaya, which opened in 1992, was way ahead of the curve. The lengthy menu ranges from sushi to ramen with lots of stops in between."

"This sprawling indoor-outdoor Asian food hall draws a hip crowd that craves dumplings, late-night DJ beats and endless sake. There are seven vendors to choose from, and you should start your food tour at Poke OG for fresh Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls, then move on to Yip for piping hot bamboo baskets filled with pork shumai and steamed shrimp dumplings. Popular additions to the hall include the inventive sushi concept, B-Side by ITAMAE, as well as Jeepney Miami, a Filipino gastro-pub by James Beard-nominated author Nicole Ponseca, where adventurous types can try creative barbeque dishes and a selection Philippine pastries and delicacies."

"In Miami we take everything—including our takeout—to the next level. Enter 1-800-Lucky, Wynwood’s buzzy new Asian-themed food hall where the grab-and-go options are decidedly upscale and insanely impressive. There’s crispy and juicy Peking duck at Lotus+Cleaver; a rich, umami-intense ramen at Hayato Miami; and the city’s first official banh mi joint, Les Bonh Amis."

"You've seen them all over Instagram — little fish-shaped cones with ice cream that resembles a unicorn, a Care Bear, or other such delightful, whimsical creatures. Taiyaki has taken Miami by storm with the most adorable and photogenic treats known to mankind. The fish-shaped cone is filled with red bean paste and topped with a soft-serve swirl."

"If you are looking for a trendy Wynwood brewery, then check out Veza Sur. The large black wall branding the brewery is extremely hard to miss. 10 Barrel Brewing Company and Colombia’s Bogata Beer Company joined together to provide an interesting and cozy location that has a feel reminiscent of a home library or den. On the menu, you will find choices that include:"

"Located north of Downtown Miami, Veza Sur Brewing Co. stays true to its Latin-American roots, right in the creative Wynwood neighborhood. Veza Sur doesn’t disappoint with creativity either. Recently, they dropped a coffee porter slushy with Twix bars on top."

"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, $2 chopp Mon–Fri, 4–7pm. Standout beer: The Michelada"

"Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"Around 50-minutes from Miami, Shark Valley is one of the best places in the Everglades that’s within easy reach of Miami. Once here, you can explore the trails and the iconic Bobcat Boardwalk that’s totally stunning on a gorgeous sunny day. Though, take lots of water and sunblock with you – that humidity and mosquitos can be tough."

"If you want to see the vast beauty of the Everglades and more alligators than you can count, then Shark Valley should be your #1 stop. This small section of the park packs in everything you need to see to make your vacation epic!"

"Everglades Alligator Farm is located next to Everglades National Park between Miami and Key Largo. South Florida’s oldest alligator farm is one cool place to visit. More than 2,000 of these unique reptiles – big and small – can be seen on the premises, from the baby alligators in the hatchery to the famous 14-foot “Grandpa” gator. Bonus: Admission includes an exciting airboat ride through the surrounding river of grass."

"Feel the thrill of the Everglades with an airboat ride and animal shows in South Florida's oldest gator farm. A Great Gator Adventure"

"Spearheaded by a charming Italian duo that hails from Milan, Dal Plin — named after a pinched ravioli from the owner’s hometown — serves up hearty authentic Italian cuisine, made-to-order like bucatini cacio e pepe, poached lobster fettuccine, truffle risotto, and eggplant parmigiana."

"Baby Jane is a cocktail house situated in Miami, FL. Come and enjoy good food and great music at Baby Jane. We are located at 185 SW 7th St Miami, FLorida."

"1111 SW 1st Avenue, MiamiA former El Bulli employee, and recognized as one of the most talented chefs in the world, Diego Muñoz, has created one of the most interesting new restaurants in Miami, in the innovative 1111 Peruvian Bistro. Chef Muñoz travelled the world for work and for inspiration. This inspiration manifests itself food that hints of his global view, his mentors, and the places he has lived."
