Flavors were good but portions were small for the price. Drinks were great! We sat outside for a quieter experience but the inside didn't seem too loud. Overall good experience, you just won't get full.

We came back to Pao because our first time here was exceptional 2 years ago.
We got the same server Marko, who served us last time. This time we brought friends and all of us were amazed with food, ambience, and the best of the best server Marko.
Everything he suggested was delicious, did not disappoint with one single thing. Wine he suggested was next level, we were the last table to stay, and not only he did not rush us, he brought us cookies (delicious) and was still willing to serve us coffee or tea.
If you come here, make sure to ask for this server and get ready for the great night!
Thank you Marko.

Truly solid in every way. Each year they get better. Where’s the star?

One of the best restaurants in Miami. Certainly, the best service and food anywhere in 305. Fried chicken was unreal goodness, incredible. Top 5 favorite restaurant in Miami.

One of the worst dining experiences ever. I feel like I was at Disney where they don’t care about service because they have a captive audience. We had to search for our server several times. From when we ordered to when we got our food was 2 hours and when they brought the food they had the order wrong. After expressing our concerns to the manager the staff avoided our table even more. The food itself was good but the service ruined the entire meal.

After Faena Theatre, we paid a visit to Pao for a dinner. We liked the vibe and atmosphere. Appetizers with sashimis was outstanding (toro and salmon in particular), wague ribs were superb - best ever. Service was very attentive, especially about drinks and wines. However, it was a bit slow - we had to ask couple of times for drinks and check. Other than that, a great chic dining experience.

Anytime we're in Miami Beach this for sure is a must reservation. Amazing food, service & ambiance. We have been dining here since it opened. We always request Jed as our server. He always makes our visit perfection providing menu recommendations that are 100 + with professional & attentive service with a personal touch. Pao is always a memorable experience.
Everything was perfection. The whole fish and the fried chicken are still the show stoppers of the menu

The food is always fantastic, fresh and unique. Our waitress could not have been any more cheerful and helpful in navigating the menu. Thank you Pao for yet another delightful and delicious mean. xoxoxo
We arrived for our 7:30 reservation for four at 7:40 within the 15-minute grace period. I approached the maître d' stand and told her we had a 7:30 reservation; she said, 'No problem.' You can find your way to the bar, and we'll be right with you. The bartenders take no notice of us, nor do they acknowledge our attempts to get their attention. There are only three tables of diners; the place is starkly empty. Two separate pairs of couples, who came in after we did, walked by us with the maitre d' and were seated. After ten minutes, I went back out to the stand, and the young woman assured me we'd be seated in a minute. Five minutes go by, and more diners are seated. NO drinks from the bar, and we're getting unnerved. I go back for the second time, and now the manager, Ekaterina or Katrina, is there with the maitre d'. When I ask why we are not being seated, she ignores the question and stares at me with sheer rudeness and condescension. I press her for an answer again, but she remains silent, huffing and puffing as she fumbles for menus and tells me to follow her. As we walk by the bar, we see two men dressed in shorts, sandals, and beachwear, with towels slung over their shoulders!! (Chic casual as the website informs you!) The manager should be the poster person for well-known Miami Rudeness — truly an unconscionable way to treat guests spending $600 on dinner! We'll never return, and we'll discourage everyone we know from making reservations. However, I will give a shout-out to the waiter who served us--he was exceptional. (Might just make a good manager!)

Fabulous service and food. We loved the creative and flavorful signature sashimi dishes. The short rib is fantastic.
