Best Asian Restaurants in Merrick Park

Chef Pedro Mederos is bringing a whole new attitude toward fine dining to Coral Gables. His and Chef Katherine's take on Asian-influenced American cuisine shows throughout the restaurant. The atmosphere is clean, warm, and intimate. Their choice of cutlery and glassware are exceptional and in keeping with their attitude of pure respect for the techniques and flavors of Japanese cuisine but reflected in fresh local ingredients. For example, their Kojin Salad is a nod to a Caesar but with surprises such as Salmon roe and Little Gem lettuce. The presentation of mussels is with a light green broth is more pleasant than a traditional garlic-flavored watered down wine. The magic they work with mushrooms is delightful, whether it is with tortellini in a rich sauce with tiny enoki or perfectly sliced and sauteed Porcinis. The treatment of seafood is also unique, with fennel on a snapper filet and Seared Scallops with White Bean and Pork Sauce. The unique and carefully curated wine list is designed to further enhance the experience. We can't wait to dive into the desserts. Bravo Chefs.

Very good. I would go back. The waiter was awesome, she really made the choices easier for us to choose!

Since it's our third time in Tanuki restaurant I think it is time for feedback. The restaurant has a welcoming ambiance and the music is inviting. This time Jimmy was out garçon, he was respectful and amicable as well, and suggested us good appetizers to start our dinner. The food was not delayed even though the restaurant got crowded within 20 minutes (we arrived at 7:30 pm) I will suggest that you book a table online before going. I had Red Snapper Ceviche, for my taste it lacked more lime taste but that was not an issue, Jimmy brought me plenty of limes! The Fried Springs rolls appetizer with the red sauce was delicious! And one favorite of our family that we adore is the Chocolate brownie lava cake with vanilla ice cream, I don't know how they make it but it tastes different from other places we had tried. From service to food, and the unique style and Asian ambience and music, you all rock!! And last night we had the pleasure of being welcomed by the manager or owner (I'm not sure) some may have a superficial idea that she is a tough boss but, hey, I think she is doing an excellent job leading her team to succeed. Congratulations to her as well!
