  • Cote Miami

    3900 NE Second Ave. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-434-4668

    Simon Kim has brought Cote, his New York cross between a Korean barbecue restaurant and a traditional steakhouse, to the Design District. The restaurant offers a selection of Waygu beef, including American Waygu and A5 Japanese Wagyu — the latter sourced from the Miyazaki prefecture, where true Wagyu are raised. The steaks are dry-aged for a minimum of 45 days in house and then seasoned with a mixture of British Maldon, Himalayan pink, and Korean thousand-day salts before being presented raw and cooked to order tableside. And if you have a taste for primo caviar, Cote has you covered. It came as no surprise in 2022 when Cote Miami earned a Michelin star.

  • Gabose Korean BBQ

    4491 N. University Dr. Lauderhill

    954-572-4800

    Navigating Gabose's expansive, meandering menu, with its myriad Korean titles, food photos, and strange-sounding offerings, is only slightly less challenging than pronouncing the place's name. Rather than be intimidated, just read the descriptions, point to the numbers, and await your authentic, delectable, spunky, sparkling-fresh, and well-priced Korean cuisine. An accessible entry point is tangsuyuk — a mound of battered, crunchily fried pork balls in a sweet/tart apple-based sauce. Dolsot bibimbap will surely appeal to those who like eating the crunchy, caramelized rice that sticks to the bottom of the pot when the cook leaves it on the stove too long. When making bibimbap, that crust is created purposefully by cooking the rice, along with vegetables, chopped beef, and egg, in a scorching-hot stone pot. Read our full review of Gabose.

  • Hoshi & Sushi

    5401 Collins Ave., Miami Beach Mid/North Beach

    305-763-8946

    Chef Dongwook Seo thinks eating fresh seafood is one of life's richest pleasures. His first restaurant, Hoshi & Sushi, serves sushi that's a mix of simplicity and invention. Located on the ground floor of a condo building on Miami Beach's Millionaires Row, Hoshi & Sushi is a two-room, 60-seat eatery filled with hanging lanterns, wooden seating, and Japanese-themed wallpaper. Artistic Asian mirrors and contemporary pop music lend an unpretentious, friendly vibe. Standout signature rolls are the Geisha, a fusion of salmon and avocado drizzled with truffle sauce; and the Gangnam-Style, made with tempura shrimp, eel, tuna tataki, and avocado. Tempura lobster and avocado are crowned with tuna and salmon in the hearty ten-piece Godfather roll, and sushi combos range from 16 pieces to a boat for two. Pair your meal with a bottle of sake, such as the Hana Fuga Peach or Yuki Lychees. Hoshi & Sushi also delivers directly to the sands of Mid-Beach, so you can eat while you sunbathe.

  • Lan Pan-Asian Cafe

    8332 S. Dixie Highway, South Miami Coral Gables/S. Miami

    305-661-8141

    Yup, it's that same old cliché: a cute little café in a big ol' shopping mall. Or rather, in a big ol' parking garage. Located on the ground floor of Dadeland Station, next to a Romero Britto sculpture, Lan's pan-Asian fare is the perfect antidote to the surrounding chain stores. Items range from sushi to glazed spare ribs ($6.95), mushroom-crusted tuna ($18.95), and green papaya salad ($7.95). Although this restaurant has garnered many local fans, it can be inconsistent. For instance, the taro and crab croquettes are outstanding, but the chicken katsu isn't as good. Save space for Taiwanese bubble tea, which comes with tiny floating pearls of tapioca and is beloved by many loyal regulars. Flavors include jasmine, cherry green tea latte, kiwi, and almond. Great lunch specials are also available, but be forewarned: The place gets busy during weekday afternoons.

  • Myung Ga Tofu & BBQ

    4207-4213 NW 107th Ave. Doral

    305-468-6677

    Unlike traditional Korean barbecue houses, Myung Ga doesn't have the built-in tabletop grills that have turned this nation's barbecue meals into dinner and a show. But the galbi (short ribs, grilled after a nice, long bath in one of Korea's unique, complexly balanced soy/fruit marinades) and boolgogi (grilled, thinly sliced marinated beef) are still habit-formingly good, even though they're prepared in the kitchen. Tofu, the featured item in 10 soups plus a tasty fried tofu steak starter, is also excellent, served with soy-based and hot sauces that turn the creamy but bland bean curd squares into savory custards. All entrées come with a full banchan (side dish) assortment - sesame-dressed bean sprouts, cukes in chili sauce, a soothing green salad, spicy fermented kim chee (Korea's national dish), and several more crunchy accompaniments that make the meal as healthy as it is tasty.

  • Takato

    551 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., Fort Lauderdale Fort Lauderdale

    954-414-5160

    There are scores of oceanfront restaurants on Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, but precious few are able to calibrate a vibe and menu to match their picturesque setting. Takato serves up ocean views at every table. There's also a 26-seat sushi bar, as well as a circular bar, half of which is indoors, the other half outside, steps from the beach. Executive chef Taek Lee's menu artfully blends Korean and Japanese cuisines. Standouts include a Wagyu gyoza starter whose rich meat filling is countered by a spicy onion ponzu. There's also a generous dish of kimchi fried rice, presented in a heavy stone bowl still hot from the oven that warms the dish as you eat, cooking the final layer of rice to a crispy layer. The meat and seafood selections are uniformly topnotch, including a dish of seared scallops and octopus served alongside a bowl of foam-topped bisque.
  • Talde Miami Beach

    4041 Collins Ave., Miami Beach Mid/North Beach

    786-605-4094

    At Talde, the new Asian-American restaurant inside the Confidante Hotel, the chef and his crew — which includes executive chef Jeanine Denetdeel from Talde Brooklyn — dont take themselves too seriously. In fact, they want customers to know it's OK to let loose. To facilitate that, they have the underground-club vibe down pat — from the excessively dim lighting to the walls covered with graffiti by Brooklyn artist Mr. EwokOne to a playlist Chef Talde refers to as "baby-making music." So grab a seat and start with an order of kung pao chicken wings. Talde's version consists of Szechuan peppercorns, chilies, peanuts, cilantro, and a splash of sweet chili sauce. The result? Incredibly crisp, finger-licking wings that are addictive. Also good are the short ribs and the whole roasted branzino. At the bar, there's a lighted sign in Dutch that translates to "Unity makes strength." The saying is borrowed from the Brooklyn flag, and it befits a restaurant with such a cohesive ethos: Serve proudly inauthentic Asian-American cuisine in a convivial and hip setting.Read our full review.
