Best Asian Food Restaurants in South Miami

"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."

"Restaurants South Beach. No matter the time of year, sunset dinners at Juvia are marked by candy-colored skies. Consider it a free show or part of the experience when you dine at the Lincoln Road restaurant."

"This rooftop restaurant overlooks all of Lincoln Road and serves up some of the best food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. It’s pretty pricey, so you might want to get your parents to treat you."

"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."

"Brunch queen and Coral Gables reader, Theresa recommends KYU for brunch. KYU offers brunch Sundays only from 11am to 4pm. Order the crispy banana and bourbon French toast served with salted butter and maple syrup."

"The signature of KYU, one of the most fun restaurants in Miami, is wood-fired, Asian-inspired cuisine. Chef Michael Lewis embraces Japanese barbecue grilling techniques, which give..."

"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."

"Restaurants Japanese South of Fifth. Azabu is for the discerning diner. The one who prefers their fish be flown straight from Japan and likes rice cooked in specialty equipment calibrated to the Miami heat and humidity."

"Azabu Miami beach is one of the trendiest new sushi restaurants in the city. Guests are treated to an authentic and intimate dining experience that will transport you straight to a..."

"Any place that features pork as the star of its menu has a place in the heart of The New Tropic’s meat lovers. This gastropub serves up mouth watering, Asian-inspired dishes and its craft beer and wine menu will have the hipster in you itching to post an Insta against the exposed brick walls. Plates are small so take a big group and share all the little things (or hit up Pubbelly Sushi right next door for a second course)."

"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."

"Former No Name Chinese chef Pablo Zitzmann is back to rolling up dumplings with his latest eatery Zitz Sum, which sells hand rolled dumplings along other classic Chinese fare — all available for delivery only. The menu rotates frequently but expect ready-to-cook dumplings filled with pork and cabbage, shrimp and lemongrass, or spicy chicken, alongside items like scallion and sesame pancakes, brisket lo main, and more. DM them on Instagram to order."

"I visited this Coral Gables restaurant on the third day they opened. And, after searching for the restaurant (which is located inside an office building), I knew immediately that I wanted dumplings. That’s because this place started as a former pandemic dumpling delivery pop-up, and, predictably, both the plump pink shrimp har gow and the chicken potstickers, which sat on a pile of tingly Sichuan chili, were delicious."

"Toni’s Sushi Bar is one of the first places that comes to mind when locals here think of amazing fresh fish and Japanese food. It opened in 1987 and has been a hit with the crowds ..."

"When it comes to authentic Thai food, this place gets it right in every way. This North Beach staple is frequented by regulars because the flavors are on point and the portions are perfect. They’ve recently remodeled and expanded, but it still has that intimate feel."

"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."

"Japanese , Chinese ,  Ramen ,  Sushi"

"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."

"Secluded in the Sunset Harbor Neighborhood in Miami Beach, Sardinia Ristorante has been a local favorite since it open in 2006. Owners Antonio Gallo and Pietro Vardeu have created a mixture of amazing food and great ambiance in their restaurant. Chosen to be one of Miami’s BEST Restaurants for several years in a row by New Times Magazine, New York Times among others, you will enjoy authentic Italian food and a wide selection of wines that will make your dinner experience worth coming back."

"The show-stopper at Sardinia Enoteca is chef Pietro Verdeu's pasta bottarga ($25) — a Sardinian classic spaghetti in tomato sauce enlivened by gray mullet's cured fish roe. The unique, lovely aroma of the delicacy is memorable on its own, but the bottarga is also salty and deeply flavorful, clinging to the al dente pasta to add an exquisite crunchiness. The basil in the light tomato sauce adds a beautiful touch of green."

"Another colorfully named Coconut Grove bar, this nautically-themed dive bar whisks you away to the Florida Keys and offers an impressive 52 taps to choose from. As you may have guessed, they specialize in seafood but vegetarians can fill their stomachs with waffle fries and garlic bread. This is a big hangout for University of Miami students so you may want to come early if you want to enjoy your beer in (relative) peace."

"The brainchild of chefs Raymond Li Senior and Junior, Li’s Dum Sum offers homemade dumplings and noodles like shrimp and black truffle dumplings, cold sesame noodles, blue crab spring rolls and more. Call 954-673-1535 to place an order. View this post on Instagram"

"This place has occupied its tiny little storefront on Sunset Drive for decades. Their milkshakes are so thick you can barely get them through a straw, and their chocolate malt shake is as classic as it gets. No fancy machines, no exotic flavors, just some of the best classic ice cream around, with generous scoops."

"Started in 1985, Whip ‘N Dip ranks as a long-time staple among the best Miami ice cream shops. Using locally sourced ingredients from partner suppliers, they make new flavors daily. Some must-trys include banana nut chip, heath bar brownie and chocolate-covered almond."

"This family owned ice cream shop is just off Sunset and has the best ice cream in Miami. Bold statement, I know, but I speak the truth. And, they don’t just stop at ice cream, their cookie cups happen to be the greatest of all time."

"Midtown Creamery has some pretty intense ice cream creations, like a “giant” ice cream sandwich, brownie sundaes, and milkshakes that could last you three days. The Edgewater spot is currently delivering on most major delivery apps. You can also call (786) 536-2281 to order."

"Restaurants Bakeries Design District. Miami’s late-night purveyor of gooey, made-to-order, donut-sized cookies is holding strong as one of the city’s best dessert delivery. It used to be that only FIU college students and people living nearby had access to these dank treats but thanks to a second store in the Miami Design District, nearly everyone can get their hands on these."

"If you want a cookie as big as a frisbee, check out the menu at Night Owl Cookies. They’ve got two locations in the Design District and near FIU. The menu includes a bunch of pretty crazy-looking cookies that would work wonderfully during a movie night or to fling across the room at your disrespectful roommate."

"After quarantining for weeks on end, we all deserve a cookie—or five. Cue Night Owl, ready to service all your sweet cravings with curbside pickup and delivery options. Count us in for a gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with whole Oreos."
