Very pleasantly surprised. Octopus carpaccio and cold tomato soup are eatable pieces of art. Perfect date night spot

Small but well designed restaurant with a nice ambience. The service was wonderful - we really enjoyed all the staff. The boquerones with the tomate were delicious, we ordered it with a side of their toasted bread which was the perfect crispy exterior & soft fluffy interior. The steak tartare was fantastic - had ours topped with a soft fried egg to add that luscious yolk. Paella for main course - was a special with rabbit & escargot. Finished with the creme Catalan - delicious.

This is my go-to for a healthy lunch! Absolutely amazing everytime! So healthy, delicious and amazing vibes! I always feel so good after eating since they use raw ingredients and no seed oils! They also have GF options! I recommend getting the salon, sweet potatoes, carrots and beet sauce. So delish! One of my favorite lunches in Miami!

If you only have one night to dine in Miami, this is the spot! Chefs Lomas and Cabrera put their hearts into every dish, and the team makes you feel like family. Great wine selection and top-tier music. ¡Gracias!

I love this place - easily one of the tastiest restaurants in Miami. The atmosphere is simple, but the food more than makes up for it. Every dish is packed with flavor and creativity, with combinations that feel both unique and comforting. A real hidden gem for anyone who cares about amazing food

I’ll fully admit—I’ve written a review for Niu Kitchen before, but it deserves another. I’ve been in this industry for 16 years, worked alongside some of the top chefs in the game, and grew up with my grandmother, who was a chef at the Waldorf. I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about. And I can say with absolute confidence: Niu Kitchen isn’t just one of my favorite restaurants in the U.S.—it is my favorite restaurant in the United States.
This little slice of Spain in downtown Miami is understated at first glance. But once you sit down, you’ll feel it: the warmth, the soul, the authenticity. What sets Niu apart—beyond its incendiary food—is its people. While so many restaurants around them are turning and burning through staff, Niu has kept the same loyal faces for nearly a decade. That kind of consistency and heart is rare in this industry, and it shows.
I’m grateful this gem survived the pandemic, because they deserve every bit of praise. The food is transportive. I lose myself every time I dine here—each bite better than the last. The Bronzino tartar is a must, the legendary ous (only on Tuesdays, so book ahead!) is a revelation, and the squid ink arroz will stop you in your tracks. Don’t miss Chef Deme’s new clam dish, a family recipe from his mother—it’s soulful, heartfelt cooking at its best.
For me, no trip to Miami is complete without a visit to Niu Kitchen. It will forever hold the most special place in my heart and truly feels like home.

Worst food , Worst customer service i ever received , from two guys who were working there, put me at uncomfortable situation and humiliates me . took me some time to decide if to write this, but what a horrible type of service plus very very expensive for 1 appetize and 1 cup of wine 62 dollar. i would never go back there, also very overrated just because they have good location does not mean its a good place !
Amazing spanish food! Best tomatoe bread then Artichoke, paella, octopus, camarones al ajillo! And sarah the best giving the best service!
