Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Kendall

Restaurant was amazing, delicious food and great service.

The food was fabulous!! The service was very good. However, the music was so loud in the dining room that we had trouble hearing each other. We requested the dining room as we were told it’s a quieter area.

We went to Koko for a late lunch, and it was an amazing experience! The weather was fantastic, making the outdoor seating the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. We started with the guacamole, which was good—nothing extraordinary—but the big, round chips it came with were a nice touch. The short ribs tacos were exceptional, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The highlight of the meal was definitely the sea bass with green mole—a dish that was both unique and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we tried the flan, which was soft, not too sweet, and a perfect pairing with a cortadito. For drinks, we ordered a passion fruit margarita and a tamarindo margarita, both refreshing and well-made. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and the food was served quickly, which added to the overall experience. The combination of great food, fantastic weather, and a comfortable outdoor setting made for a memorable afternoon. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

Amazing restaurant! Food was inventive and delicious … service was excellent. Will definitely return. We are in form out of town and staying near the airport, where it’s tough to find lots of great places to eat. Kojin was a blessing … could not have asked for a better place to dine. Their wines are fabulous (they do not offer cocktails). And the staff from time to time dropped a little something extra at our table to taste. They even suggested a wonderful local salsa club nearby to go after dinner. This place rocks!

Finally, a steak house closer south for foodies in Miami! Located in a non-descript area, behind a Starbucks, you walk into this restaurant and get transported to one of the fancy places in Wynwood or Coral Gables. The food is fire!!! Steaks are treated with amazing spice and torched with rosemary at your table. The tuna tartar rocked and the dessert what nothing else but a visual and taste experience! Make a reservation and go as soon as you can, before it gets too hard to get in.
