The Picnic Baskets of the Pandemic | The New Yorker

"I brought Café Kitsuné’s pricey picnic for two ($150), a canvas tote packed with what I imagine the luckiest French children eat for lunch: folds of frilly ham and sliced Gruyère on a chewy baguette; plump, plummy olives marinated in lemon zest and thyme; house-made yam chips; and crisp, buttery, fox-shaped sables with a satisfying snap — plus a bottle of natural Riesling, complete with a branded wine key and paper cups." - Hannah Goldfield

Balloo - Review - Downtown - Miami - The Infatuation

"Down a long fluorescent hallway in a Downtown office building, you’ll find Balloo and its dozen seats wedged into a corner. The dining room has old photos, an antique cabinet, and is doing its best to make you feel like you’re in a house somewhere in the Caribbean rather than a block away from a Walgreens. No matter where you sit, you’ll be able to see everyone in the restaurant as they eat from a small but wonderful menu of Indian, Trinidadian, Carribean, and Chinese dishes. The menu changes a lot, but we like the spam fried rice, Singaporean chili crab tteok-bokki (stir-fried rice cakes), and amazing cheung fun with dried shrimp and scallion rice crepes. We’ll happily keep coming back here, especially if their phenomenal Thai-style micheladas are involved. photo credit: Emily Schindler" - Ryan Pfeffer

The host Danzo was amazing! I’m a flight attendant for a major airline and i appreciate great customer service. very knowledgeable about their offerings and listened to my likes and recommended the perfect dish for me. He provided great customer service and even wrote out an entire list of places for me to visit while i was in town. Will definitely be back asap.

Such a hidden gem, from the moment you step in and place your order you are transported into a cozy nook of a restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. Prices are entirely reasonable for downtown and serving sizes are generous, I can’t wait to show this place off to my friends. Will be back soon for sure!

First time here. Cashier very helpful and asked if it was my first time at their place. I ended up getting the Kung Pao Chicken extra spicy. Food came out very well seasoned, prepared and perfectly cooked in I assume a Wok. Great atmosphere inside the place with all the Japanese anime. 5 stars on quality and taste of food. I'm an Int'l pilot and I eat all over the world and this place holds its own! Definitely coming back.

Great food, awesome atmosphere, and friendly staff. Orange chicken was one of the best we've had. If you're into anime and fun atmospheres check this place out. Miami, support this business owner and establishment, it's a good one!

Fantastic experience. Starting with the very nice restaurant, decorated with colourful walls and paintings. My partner and I had pad Thai and Yaki Udon, both with chicken, and they were delicious. The guy who served us was very friendly. Highly recommended, also for the great prices!

A hidden gem to be honest - the decoration, music, and vibes are great. The food is also good. They make it fresh, and gets delivered quickly. Price is also very good considering how expensive restaurants in Miami can be.

Went to this place on a date night. It was soooooo cute. The plates were so affordable and big that my husband and I were able to share the pad Thai. And let me tell you that is one of the best pad Thai I ever had! Super delicious. Dan was really kind and recommended the dumplings. They were super good!

Absolutely a hidden gem! The owner is so sweet and gave us a chocolate ganache with dulce de leche cake to dream for on the house when the spring rolls were initially a bit cold on the inside. They immediately fixed it for us. Everything else was divine as well!

A hidden gem that you need to try! I arrived late in the evening in the city of Miami, I was hungry and ready for dinner. Unfortunately, most places were closed or closing. After a quick internet search I found Kitsune House. It is open until 23:30. The food was delicious and made on the spot. It was fresh and full of flavor. You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table when is ready. Friendly staff. The ambience is very cool and energetic. Give it a try and enjoy every bite.

I have always wanted to check out Kitsune House and finally had a chance with a spontaneous drop in on the way walking home from the bars on Flagler. I figured since it was tucked away it was going to be a cute hidden gem, but it was even cuter than I expected! I loved the anime wallpaper and the seating area with the action figures floating above was so fun. They even had little arcade games to play. I got takeout, so unfortunately didn't have the chance to dine and fully enjoy the vibes, but I definitely appreciated it while waiting. Food-wise, it's kind of Panda Express-like for me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I love Panda Express. So expect menu items like general tso, ginger chicken, lo mein, egg drop soup, etc. I will say I did find the food to be a little greasier than I'd like personally, but this may be more personal presence. But it does have a ton of flavor and is also seemingly cooked-to-order (unlike Panda Express) so it's served super hot. It was still warm when I ate it after a 15-minute walk back home. It's also very reasonably priced. Service was great - the gentleman who took my order very kind offered me beverages while waiting and apologized for the wait (it really wasn't bad at all though - couldn't have been more than 10 minutes!). It's nice they do have a water cooler for those waiting in case it's hot and there's any wait. I'll definitely be back to have a proper dine-in experience so I can fully appreciate the fun decor and atmosphere.

This place was the best hidden gem. Tucked off near a luggage shop at the back of a random hallway in downtown Miami, it's creative with a lot of character, also hard to miss if you don't know where it is. It has a food stand vibe with anime characters as ceiling decor. It really makes you feel like you're in Chinatown We ordered some chicken lettuce wraps to start - spicy and savory. Literally the best I've tasted! I had the ginger broccoli chicken which was well seasoned but the rice itself was undercooked and grainy. My friend had lo mein noodles that he liked and we washed it down with some sparkling water. This is definitely a place I'd bring visitors to if they wanted more of an authentic Asian dining experience

They could improve their deceptive online ordering for BOGOs. When I ordered egg drop soup I expected a full container. Instead I got half of two containers. This is not buy one, get one! They tried to explain their serving sizes and offered to deliver more soup. Not helpful when the order takes over an hour. They need to change their deceptive practices.

Saw this place on IG, looked yummy and it's within about 15 mins walk from our downtown apartment! It's tucked away in a building directly adjacent to Julia & Henry's. Mainly a takeout place but they do have limited seating available. The food was sooo good though. I had the Mongolian beef and my fiancé had the kung pao chicken. Both of our dishes tasted super freshly made and the price was very reasonable! Highly recommend!

Found out about Kitsune from an IG post and put in on my "must-go" list for the maybe 2 times a year I go to Miami. With how infrequently I go to Miami, and how excited I was to try this place, it ended up being a major let-down and I wish I would've tried one of the many other restaurants on my list. You first walk in, and the theme is the same overplayed Anime theme that so many Asian restaurants are doing now. Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because it's Chinese food, with a Japanese theme? It then all makes sense when you get the food. The popular Japanese theme and restaurant name is to attract customers, but then they serve sub-par Chinese food. The great thing about this place, is they have a ton of options for vegetarians/vegans. Any bowl can be replaced with tofu. We got one honey garlic chicken bowl and one general tso's tofu bowl. The tofu was insanely gummy. Felt like you were eating cubes of jello. The sauce was good, although there might have been too much. On the other hand, the honey garlic chicken bowl had very little sauce and was pretty dry, along with the fact that the chicken was so incredibly soggy. I get crispier chicken at Panda Express. The rice in both dishes were pretty bland, which was okay for the tofu bowl as it had a ton of sauce, but not-so-okay for the honey garlic chicken bowl which had no sauce to toss the rice in. 3 cans of soda, and 2 bowls, came to about $40. All in all, it was not worth the money, the trip, nor the $20 parking. I'm giving two stars because of the options for people with restrictive/different diets and the fact that while the food wasn't good, it was edible.

Ordered several d8shes to try. Coconut curry chicken? Wow! Honey garlic chicken? Subtle garlic flavor, with a crunch. Chicken pad thai? Yum!! Small spot, great food, cool music. Cant wait to come back!!

We ordered in dinner from this restaurant last night. We had three separate dishes. They all tasted the same! They all tasted like soy sauce and SALT. IF you are not supposed to have a lot of salt in your diet never eat here.

The appetizer chicken dumplings were so delicious. The edges were crispy, and the body of the dumplings were so soft, the chicken inside of it was flavorful... But my absolute favorite had to have been the fried rice paired with the General Tso's ... the food was so fresh and piping hot ...literally stayed hot until I took the last bite... this is truly a hidden gym... The art on the wall is so interesting ...I truly feel like I'm in a popular hotspot in Asia that all the cool locals rave about... The bowls hanging from the ceiling with anime figurines are such a nice touch... The artwork on the walls are perfect... This is the perfect place to take a date... I definitely will be coming back here.. if you're an anime fan, this is the place to come too very very cool... But if I were you, I would catch a Lyft/Uber here. It is in downtown Miami so the best thing to do is to catch a Lyft/Uber and come during the day so you can take a nice walk throught downtown as well... I will definitely be coming back here. Be aware that this is definitely a hidden gem It's inside of a building but once you walk in, you can't miss it... If you get lost, definitely call them. It's worth the trip. It's inside of the Ingraham building...sooooo Worth It

CLASSIC AMERICAN CHINESE TAKE OUT!! Really enjoyed kitsune. Prices were UNBEATABLE and portions were very generous. I went here during a Miami heat game and it was empty thankfully. The general tso chicken was highly pleasing and the fried rice was cooked the way I love. Nothing I'd change about this place. Location is inside a funky mall(?) thing and adds to the already cute decor. Food came quick and servers were respectful.

I ordered the chicken dumplings (shown in the picture) and the honey garlic chicken entree which came with a side of rice. I eat at Asian inspired restaurants almost everywhere I go in different areas of the country or the world and this is the best dumplings I have had. The place was also clean and nice service. The restaurant is kind of hidden, you have to walk into a building with different store fronts and find it at the end. All together, my total for the entree, appetizer, and drink was $25. Highly recommend!

Casual decor. Order at the walk up food bar. Fun themed, nice enough to sit in with a few friends. Perhaps more people will take out. Good flavors, affordable pricing in these times. Portions were average to small. Four dumplings per order. Veggie curry on the lighter side, while my friends appeared to get a bit more with their meat orders. The girl who assisted with our order was friendly. They'll walk your order from the openish kitchen to your table if you dine in. It's located in the back of a mall area.

Our office ordered lunch for delivery. I heard great things about their food and tried the orange chicken entree. It was very tasty but I will say a little too spicy for me (but that's not saying much because mild stuff is still spicy to me lol). My coworkers lunch also looked just as delicious! Will have to try it out in person too.

I happened to be in downtown for a conference, so I am not really familiar with places to eat. There are a ton of choices from what I learned, but I am so glad we chose this place. You have to walk through an indoor hallway of sorts, but it's visible at the end of the walkway. The man who took my order was so nice and patient. He explained the daily lunch special and told me to just sit after I ordered and he'd bring me my food. The lunch special comes with a soup and is cheaper than the menu items. He also brought to go containers as I wasn't sure if we were going to finish it all. I loved what I got, the kung pao chicken. It came with white rice. The pad Thai was a huge serving. You choose which protein to add with your meal. So if you're in the area and want some quick and yummy food, come here!

Asian food (for me, Japanese) has a touch of art and taste and that is something that I respect to the most. I'm not expecting omakase style (which I love) but I was expecting something that was good enough to give 3-4 stars. Although I loved the decor, there was really no taste in what I ordered. I still ate it, but wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either. I think they can increase their potential if they wanted to, and they'll do even better.

We ordered for deliver since we had a Chinese food craving! We ordered the honey garlic chicken with noodles, sesame ginger chicken with fried rice, egg drop soup and a miso soup. The food was actually good the egg drop soup was just perfect not too thick or salty. Both options of chicken were delicious and hit the spot. The noodles blew it out the park for us. The reason for 4 stars is because the fried rice was NOT GOOD we threw it out, the rice had no "fried rice" flavor the grains were very thin, it was just not it. The chicken was also soggy but that's due to delivery. We would order again and look forward to stopping by in person.

The food was average at best. The portions weren't even as full as the container, and there was no effort out into the food. The noodles barely had any vegetables, just 3 mushrooms and some carrot slices and it was drenched in sauce. Very dissatisfied and overpriced for what you get. Other restaurants within walking distance where you get more bang for your back and tastes better. Service was good. Courtesy and kind employees, but unfortunately it can't make up for the food

This place messed up my entire order. I don't eat chicken or meat and I even paid extra for tofu and neither dish had tofu. And they took the phone off the hook to avoid talking to me when I tried to call and reorder correctly. Terrible service and the entire order was wrong

I just finished having take out from this place and I was ver y content with the taste, quality, and amount of the food. We ordered some veggie spring rolls as appetizer and they were pretty good. The order brought 3 small rolls which ran for about $7 so a bit on the high side. For an entree I had the coconut curry chicken which brought white rice and chicken and veggies on a pretty spicy coconut curry. We also ordered the Lo Mein Chicken which was pretty good too. The curry though was the highlight and I truly recommend it. You can eat in, take-out or order delivery from this place. Staff was friendly and the ambience was lively.

As downtown residents we really wanted to try and support Kitsune House; however, we cannot support this restaurant. We ordered the fried rice with steak which was steamed (not fried) rice with very hard steak pieces; we ordered chicken lettuce wraps which had zero flavor and only ground beef...no onion, scallion, Asian seasoning...nothing! Last, we ordered the Mongolian beef, very hard and well done with Mongolian beef sauce poured on top, not cooked together. Do not waste you kinder here.

Saw this restaurant on an IG post and I had to try it myself. I ordered Mongolian steak and the Kitsune shrimp Fried Rice and all I can say is WOW!!! The Mongolian was amazing. The taste was fire!!! The rice followed suit. The best food I've had in a while. Will definitely order again and try the other items on the menu. Highly recommend.

If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine you have to check out Kitsune House! Great location to grab a bite before a long party night in downtown Miami or just in general. The art you're surrounded by really brings the vibes and so does the music! The service was quick and our server was also amazing! Highly recommend this spot!

What a great find in Downtown Miami! I've been looking for good Chinese food but at a reasonable price and Kitsune House delivers (figuratively and literally.) It's a hole in the wall tiny spot adjacent to the historic Ingraham Building (site of the former fabulous Balloo Restaurant.) Most of the other customers came for take out. We decided to create our own happy hour and dine in (beware, they advertise wine but don't offer it yet, just beer and sake, hopefully they offer it soon.) We had apps, spring rolls and chicken dumplings and they were both fantastic, I'd put those dumplings among the best I've ever enjoyed. Best of all, the prices are quite reasonable, you can get a full meal from 12.99 up to 15.99 depending upon the protein you choose. (The apps were $7 each for 4 dumplings and 2 spring rolls.). Atmosphere is funky and fun. I'm a little confused because the decor and restaurant name are both Japanese, but the food is basically Chinese and Thai (except for the sake.) I will definitely return for a full meal, but wanted to share my initial thoughts in the hopes they will get more business and thrive because Miami needs great food at reasonable prices and that's exactly what Kitsune House offers.

The food is terribly subpar. We ordered takeout while staying in Brickell. Sesame chicken and orange chicken were both soggy and poorly Cooked. Weird after taste... like nothing I've had before. The lo Mein was not seasoned at all. Not sure how this place got 4 stars!

I have walked by this spot multiple times and tried to remind myself to check it out. Today I finally went with a co worker for lunch and ate there. I ordered the spring rolls and the orange chicken. The orange chicken was cooked to perfection and had a nice kick of heat. The spring rolls were also very good, but it's difficult to mess up spring rolls. Love the whole should I go in there and eat vibes. The seating area has very interesting decor and multiple friends I've shown pictures to say it has the whole Japan vibe. I look forward to eating there again.

The vibes are definitely here lol , I love the quietness with the music & so low key. The cashiers nice , the food was fast. I got the general Tso chicken with fried rice , the chicken was bomb. The rice kind of threw me off with all the broccoli, but it wasn't bad. Everything was flavorful & I would definitely come back , just less broccoli next time

Ordered the orange chicken. Order was half an hour late. Chicken coated in chill pepper flakes and extremely spicy. Could not finish plate due to high spice level. Not traditional orange chicken recipe.
