    Great spot for a date night. A la cart menu has a fresh catch that we both ordered and it was delicious! Nice to see that they offered options for non-meat eaters. Attentive service and a nice environment that wasn't loud, so that we could actually have a conversation :)

    A high-level gastronomic experience. The recipes are very refined with a clear focus on flavors, where everything that accompanies the main product is there to enhance it without embellishments.

    The reviews were spot on, my dinner was AMAZING! I had to try the tasting menu and it did not disappoint one bit! A wealth of delicious flavors, cozy intimate atmosphere, and personal touch from the owners and staff made this a truly memorable experience. The "Chef's Table" experience was top notch and totally worth it. The caviar course blew me away! When I am back in town, I will definitely be back for more. Thank you for being the highlight of my vacation!
    KojinResponded on May 8, 2025

    I'm a foodie--and I promise you will not be disappointed with this restaurant. It's one of the best in all of Miami. The meals are an insanely creative spin on traditional Japanese food. For dessert last time I was there (which is often!) I had a caramel fish sauce on tamarind cake and it was out of this world. Kojin also has a fun vinyl night at least once a week--great sounds but the music (gratefully!) does not overpower your conversation. The restaurant is chilly though--so bring a sweater or jacket!
    KojinResponded on May 8, 2025
    Thank you so much for this fantastic review — it truly means a lot coming from a self-proclaimed foodie! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoy our creative take on Japanese cuisine, and that the tamarind cake with caramel fish sauce hit the mark — it’s definitely one of our favorite bold pairings. We’re also so glad you’ve been enjoying our vinyl nights; we put a lot of care into curating a vibe that enhances the experience without overwhelming it. Can’t wait to have you back again soon!

    Do the tasting menu! Food is amazing and the atmosphere was great. Upscale, but casual. And, they were playing some pretty good old school hip-hop and R&B in the background. Not too loud, though. This will be one of my new “go-to” spots.

We’re honored to be one of your new go-to spots and can’t wait to have you back!

    We tried almost everything on the brunch menu. Delicious food, great service. I especially liked the crudo, and the short rib. The bread in the Avocado toast and chile eggs were a little soggy, but that’s just me being ultra critical, it was packed with flavor too.
    KojinResponded on May 8, 2025
    Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the majority of the brunch menu. We truly appreciate your attention to detail, and we’ll certainly take note of your comments about the bread on the avocado toast and chile eggs. Our goal is always to pack each dish with flavor, and your thoughts help us improve. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another round of delicious food and great service!
