I found Kaori thanks to the Michelin Guide app. I am grateful for a seat at The Listening Bar downstairs. Regretfully, i did not take a peak upstairs. Mixologist Mario showcased cocktails and hospitality with precision. He knew the restaurant and bar program had a great product to offer, and the experience did not disappoint.
I enjoyed the dishes listed below and left abundantly full. Shiro Ponzu Crudo Raw Oysters Japanese Milk Braad Crispy Duck Salad
If you have two or more guests without allergens, do not skip the milk bread. Oysters were great. Crudo really set the bar. The crispy duck salad was there most memorable and will be very hard not to order over and over slowing down my ability to try the entire menu.
The manager Danielle (apologies if I got the name wrong) came by and had genuine interest in the first experience. It was great to see the manner in which they supported their team while also genuinely checking on guests.
The cocktail menu is divided into Currents (the new rotation), Staples (items that would have been Currents previously but maintained so much positive feedback and demand that they must remain on the menu), and Classics (for Kaori's take on these well known cocktails for anyone not looking to be too experimenta).
Again, the bartender Mario really knew his stuff, but was by no means pretentious about it. The compassion and hospitality he showed with guests who may not have been easy at the end of the night was impressive and truly a lesson in hospitality.
My spend was well over $100, but I am not a typical diner. With multiple guests, you could escape in the $75pp range. Like any other spot in Brickell, service charge automatically applied, but this place is a true gem unlike anything else in Brickell.

My top 5 concepts for any mood in Miami. This newly awarded Michelin Guide restaurant never fails when it comes to ambience, service, quality of food and cocktail craft. I have given Alex Vazquez some off the wall dealer’s choices and he never misses. Having the GM, Diego Deleon, touch your table always makes you feel at home. The Chef Seth is a mastermind in seasonal cuisine and keeping the menu fresh. You’re welcome in advance for the following recommendations! Food: Beef Tartare, Crispy Duck Salad, Takikomi Gohan, Char Siu & Caramel Namelaka for dessert. Drinks: Ume Tonikku, Isan Daiquiri, Jewel & Karajillo.

Sam was our server and he’s super knowledgable, welcoming, and friendly. He made our experience so great. The food was excellent and unique. We could really tell it was authentic and cooked by an Asian chef (as Asians ourselves). Price is high for the portion, but that’s normal in Miami. Definitely would come back!

The new tasting menu was absolutely stellar. The quality and flavors were amazing and top notch. The bread with miso butter my god was so good and the steak was so tender and juicy. I would put Kaori up against many of the restaurants on the Michelin star list, as well as the world’s best 50 lists. Time to expand the tasting menu to at least 7/10 courses, you guys have nailed it, so lean in!

This place is a 5/5 on atmosphere alone. Love the stylish bar and the knowledgeable bartenders. Mario was really on his game. The quality of the cocktails were on point. And the food!! Wow, I only had the opportunity to try one dish, the fried rice. But what a massive bowl of deliciousness!! Genuinely, massive in portion and truly one of the best fried rices I've had in Miami hands down. The live dj really makes for a special dining experience, not a quiet one, but definitely a fun night out.
