Notso Tokyo

So don't be discouraged by the 4 stars. The restaurant, the ambience and the menu are amazing. My only complaint is that the entrees are served without sides. I love the fact that the menu is small, which usually tells me a place does a few things, but they do them excellently. They plan to expand the menu, but I would prefer sides instead of more options. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The dumplings and meatballs are excellent starters and all the food is well designed for sharing. In addition to their menu, they have a great selection of craft beer and wine. The food and the presentation are simple but formal, and the taste and execution are flawless. If restaurants like these keep showing up in downtown, Miami may actually turn into a culinary destination. Oh and if the food is not enough, there's the original Japanese version of Pac-Man to keep you entertained. Definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed.

Nice place with good atmosphere and vintage arcade machines. Food was great with good variety of small plates to try. My favorites were the ginger chicken meatballs, the sweet & spicy dumplings and the chicken curry rice. There were other plates that are popular but not available when we went such as the Egg in Nest. Will be back to try more.
