Miami isn’t exactly brimming with great Thai restaurants, which is partly why Cake Thai Kitchen is such a novelty. At the front of the tiny eatery, crammed into a derelict Biscayne Boulevard strip mall, stands a buffet station that offers lemongrass-rubbed roasted chicken alongside roasted rice studded with crisp shallots and fried pork. Sometimes it’s […]
David Garcia (La Camaronera Seafood Joint) now owns this iconic North Miami seafood spot, which dates back to the 1990s. This heir to Miami seafood royalty kept the menu mostly unchanged, allowing Captain Jim’s to do what it does best: serve the freshest fish possible. Favorites include stone crab claws (in season) and a beautiful […]
Angelo and Denise Elia have run Casa D’Angelo for more than two decades. It’s often the first restaurant locals think of for birthdays or anniversaries, entertaining out-of-town guests, and Friday-night dates – and for good reason. The classic Tuscan menu includes meat and pasta dishes, a long list of specials that changes nightly, and a […]
If lack of popularity was ever a problem at Michelle Bernstein’s namesake restaurant, it isn’t anymore. The 55-seat dining room at Cena by Michy fills to capacity with loyal fans throughout the week. The almost-iridescent purple-blue hue that once lined the ceiling and floor has been stripped away, along with the white tablecloths and ornate […]

A mural depicting a desert beneath a floating pair of eyes is the only sign that beckons passersby into this Uzbek-style hideaway, accessible only from one side of NE 163rd Street. Chayhana Oasis offers fare not only from Uzbekistan but also the entire central Eurasian region. Translation: You can eat your way around several nations. […]
Cheen Huaye, which means “only here” in Mayan, offers unique and authentic Mexican cuisine. Try the succulent dishes, such as carne asada a la Yucateca, that are influenced by life on the Yucatán Peninsula. The restaurant is comfortable, clean, well-lit, and family-friendly. The decor consists mainly of Mexican artifacts. Some dishes are a bit pricey, […]
Wilkinson “Ken” Sejour, AKA Chef Creole, has been serving delicious seafood for years at several Chef Creole locations. There’s a reason Anthony Bourdain visited the place during a taping of No Reservations. The Little Haiti location, like the others, is a hole-in-the-wall takeout spot with only a few stools. Generous portions of shrimp, conch, and […]
Madame John used to cook and sell griot (Haitian-style fried pork) out of her Little Haiti home. Her griot became so popular that at certain hours on weekends, cars would clog the street and lines would spill outside. A few years ago, no doubt at the urging of customers and code-enforcement inspectors alike, the operation […]

“Two things, thousands of ways” goes the slogan, meaning tacos and burritos with add-ins. Tacos bring a trio of soft flour tortillas or a quartet of crisp corn tortillas — you know, the type that inevitably shatters into a nacholike mess. Better are burritos, modeled after the fat ones made famous at taquerias in San […]
Even the most ravenous meat-eater has days when a T-bone or pulled pork feels like a little too much. On those days, do your body good with some eats from Choices Organic Caf
This cluttered roadside room contains some tables scattered about and a counter with stools in front and hand-printed signs behind it touting assorted breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. Cliff’s seems left over from another era, and so do the prices. For $5.50 you can get a lunch of jerk chicken, pork chops, cow foot, or […]

Miami diners who have never managed to master Starbucks’ sizing system will find Cold Stone Creamery’s similarly challenging; the ice-cream chain eschews small, medium, and large in favor of “Like It,” “Love It,” and “Gotta Have It” sizes. Once the portion is picked, patrons can concoct their own creations from super-premium ice cream flavors like […]
