The 20 Best Restaurants In Coral Gables - Miami - The Infatuation

"It’s hard to pin down the food at this small restaurant on Ponce—a place where Japanese flavors and modernist cuisine meet. It’s easier to say who this food is for: people who create scrapbooks from restaurant menus and get excited about espumas. If you’re one of those people, come here for the $150 tasting menu, one of Miami’s most exciting ones. It’s an eight-course meal full of totally unique dishes like tuna cut into noodles, dry-aged squab with its leg stretched out like a can-can dancer, and a truffled cheese starfish you have to drown in fluffy foam to enjoy. It’s all visually mesmerizing, but Kojin also backs it up with incredible textures and flavors. They have a la carte options as well, but some of those dishes are hit or miss, so come here ready for the full tasting menu experience." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
