Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay - Miami

Absolutely loved our experience! We came to celebrate my sister’s birthday and had such a wonderful time. The atmosphere was fantastic — and the DJ made the evening feel even more special and vibrant. The service was outstanding! Every dish was explained in detail, the staff were incredibly attentive, and it honestly felt like the entire team was working together to make us feel welcomed and well taken care of. We ate a lot 😅 but still saved room for dessert — and it was a true symphony of flavors.

Words can't describe the experience i had last night at this hidden gem! Everything was absolutely perfect! The ambiance, the vibe, the music, the service,the drinks and the food was another level!!! Was beyond good! It definitely exceeded my expectations! Everything that we have had was 10+ we had the fried rice, the whole fish, sushi, edamame, wow the ceviche Honestly I recommend this restaurant from the bottom of my heart! Thank you John for taking such a great care of us!!! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!!!!

Nice fine dining restaurant but I expected much more. We had a reservation for 23:15 and arrived on time. After we sat down someone came and told us we can't order food because the restaurant is closed. We told him that we have a reservation and then he checked and allowed us to order something (in a rush). The option he suggested is for them to choose us the best menu items. We were rushed to send the order to the kitchen quickly so we said yes and no additional questions were asked (like what kind of food we like / dislike etc). Then they brought us mostly fish dishes (only one meat) that were very nice but caused some stomach pain for my partner (we told in advance we're having a long flight the day after and wished the food to be the freshest selection - if Sushi wasn't fresh enough we would have preferred to get more meat or cooked fish instead) The service was far below my expectation. Towel that was dropped on the floor was lifted by the waiter without washing the hands, the plates were put on the table with the fingers touching the dishes. Its not something that bothered me too much, but for a restaurant at this price range - I would expect Michelin star level of service. Overall - we enjoyed the atmosphere and the quality of the food, but expected much more. All of the pictures I've attached are 410$ including tax and mandatory service fee of 18%, I think it should have been half.

Lucky Cat is a stunning restaurant with a beautifully designed venue that creates a great atmosphere for a special night out. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We went on a Saturday night, about 30 minutes after it opened, and were surprised to find it completely empty. Even as the evening went on, it never really filled up, which was unexpected given the reputation of the restaurant. This was especially surprising because the food was actually pretty decent. The menu offers a wide range of options at varying price points, so while it’s definitely on the expensive side, there are choices to suit different budgets. The sushi was absolutely delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. However, the fried rice turned out to be much spicier than expected, to the point that we couldn’t eat it, which was disappointing

My experience at Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the stylish and intimate ambiance set the perfect tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The attention to detail in both the presentation and flavors of the dishes truly stood out. Each course delivered something special. The grilled meats were beautifully charred with a rich depth of flavor, the dumplings were delicate yet packed with umami, and the sushi was elegantly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The balance of textures and flavors in every dish showcased both innovation and respect for traditional Asian cuisine. A special highlight was the dessert—a decadent yet refined treat that rounded off the meal perfectly. The birthday surprise was also a thoughtful touch, adding to the warm and hospitable service. Overall, Lucky Cat exceeded my expectations. The combination of bold flavors, stunning presentation, and a vibrant atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for a refined yet exciting dining experience. I will definitely be returning!

Great service and cocktails. Food was decent but not 5* Most of the dishes were decent but the loud asian flavour was missing even on the fried rice. The uni toast was not that great. Sashimi is really good and we tried some unique desserts recommended by our server. Won't comment on value for money as I live in Asia but we had a good time thanks to the cocktails, ambiance and great service.

The Lucky Cat is a must-try in South Beach. Every plate carries the essence of Japanese cooking: beautiful presentation, some more minimalist, with depths of flavor in every bite. I had to visit it twice last time I was in Miami and Stephen is a brilliant mixologist and wonderful person. Multiple people including the GM checked in with me without being overbearing. The ceviche is one of the best I've tried and, for anything you order, definitely get the fresh wasabi. They even use traditional sharkskin to grate it. The sea bream was fantastic and surprisingly filling. Their version of the French Toast dessert was so good it's ruined almost every other rendition I've tried. As for drinks, there's a wonderful selection of spirits and the Lucky Negroni is a must for any gin lover. Roll 3 dice and let fate decide your combination (honestly, there's no bad combination)

What a great new place in Miami! It has a cool interior, amazing food, and professional service (our waiter Gabriella was fantastic). We did the Journey experience, I was already full in the middle of it. Everything was really good! My favorites were toro tartare and miso salmon. Also, don’t miss the drinks. We have two non-alcoholic- yuzu and with chia, and both were really good. It’s the only Asian place in the US by Gordon, and it’s worth trying!
