This small, colorful, minimally decorated restaurant features “create a stir,” by which diners select vegetables and spices from a salad bar and then hand them over to a chef with verbal preferences regarding their choices of nine proteins (chicken, meats, seafoods), ten sauces (peanut, black bean, spicy Szechuan), and five starches (brown or white rice, […]
Not just a sushi joint, this bustling lunch-and-dinner spot in downtown Coral Gables offers daily specials – scribbled in Kanji and English on blackboards that run the length of the east wall – depending on what’s fresh.

Sushi Chef’s plain façade and restaurant-in-the-middle-of-a-Japanese-market interior give no indication it serves perhaps the most extensive selection of Japanese dishes around. The encyclopedic menu lists more than 200 dishes, from all manner of sushi to tempura, rice and noodle bowls, salads, and entrées.

Tarpon’s 200-seat room offers a limited raw bar – three varieties of oyster, stone crabs and inventive ceviches. Warm appetizers are appealing, none more so than middleneck clams (from Florida’s west coast) pan-roasted in a spicy white wine and tomato broth, with grilled triangular toasts for sopping up the garlic-and-herb-pepped liquid. Catch of the day […]
