Best Fun Restaurants in North Miami

We had a great time at the zoo tonight we’re from Philly and often dine at Parc so it felt like home. As it is holiday time, it was mobbed. Watch did you do the air? We all loved our dinner. Drinks were great. Service friendly and knowledgeable

Absolutely loved Makoto. It was our first time since they moved their location up to Level 3 of the Bal Harbour Shops. Super lovely, energetic, and the interior was gorgeous. We started off with the crispy brussels sprouts, which were so delicious that we put in another order. The truffle salmon was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten — it melted in my mouth and they did not skimp on the truffle. The dynamite hand rolls were out of this world, warm and flavorful. The spicy tuna crispy rice had the perfect crunch. Side note: if you like sweet cocktails, get the usagi — the passionfruit notes shined through in this dessert of a drink. The chilled house sake we got was also divine. The rolls were fresh — we ordered the caterpillar roll, the spicy yellowtail roll, rainbow roll, and snow crab maki. My favorites were the snow crab maki and the rainbow roll. We ordered miso seabass and wagyu fried rice for the mains — the miso seabass melted in my mouth, and I loved the mix of citrus and sweet flavors that came through in this dish. When we got to the wagyu fried rice, I was already stuffed, but it was delicious with the egg mixed in. We finished the meal off with the toban yaki, one of the most unique desserts I’ve ever had. It was a cross between a crumble and a sorbet dessert — the flavors were incredible. The service was amazing and we loved our server Helena. 10/10 experience at Makoto and can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful dinner. We shared a spinach & goat cheese salad which was enough for 4 people. Reasonable at $20. We shared the veal parmesan which was huge!! Had the bone in and it was enough for 3 people. Bottle of wine was reasonable and they played nice Xmas music. Our waiter was very attentive.

I’m often skeptical when a restaurant is so highly rated but this place did not disappoint. From the reservation ease through the entire experience it was nothing less than absolutely perfect. The dining room, staff and food were fantastic, one of the rare occasions in this city.

Always come to Aba when we are in Miami (and also have been to the Austin one). Amazing food, vibes and experience and always have a wonderful meal and time!
