    I was expecting a better experience specially on valentines. On arrival we were sat and waited over 30 minutes to get wine and the first course. An 8 course meal which became a dull experience. Each course took way too long, what should’ve have been an hour and a half experience became a 3 hour dinner. Most of the dishes were particularly salty, although the approach was creative it’s not an experience I’d repeat.

    Thanks for the review, Santiago. We're sorry to hear that your Valentine's dinner at Kojin didn't meet your expectations. We understand that waiting for our starters and courses can be frustrating, especially on a busy night. We truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience.

    I appreciate the ambition behind Kōjin’s approach, and while some of the flavors and presentations were innovative, the execution didn’t quite deliver for me. The eight-course Valentine’s Day tasting menu was beautifully plated, but unfortunately, most of the dishes—aside from the hamachi sashimi (course two)—were over-seasoned, with an overwhelming saltiness. The excessive salt seemed to dull the other elements rather than enhance them, making the flavors feel less balanced and more one-dimensional. That said, service was excellent, especially on such a busy night, and the wines and sakes were truly enjoyable. I just wish the food had tasted half as good as it looked.

    Hi Fei, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you appreciated our Valentine's Day tasting menu and our service. We're sorry to hear that some of the dishes didn't meet your expectations. We take your comments about the seasoning and saltiness of our dishes seriously and will review our approach. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience. Best regards, Kōjins Management Team

    Highly original, beautifully prepared food--truly Michelin quality, with service to match. One dish was more imaginative than the next. Our party of six--all foodies who have traveled the world—rank it among our best meals. While Japanese inspired, the chef puts a modern spin on each dish. The price is very reasonable for the quality. This restaurant is an absolute gem--one of Miami's very best.

    Nice restaurant with excellent food and very good service, but not a big variety of choices for main dishes ( just 3 ) nor for beers ( just 3 ), still I would recommend it 👌🏻

    A phenomenal food and wine experience from the second you walk into the door to when you’re leaving . The food and wine knowledge of the staff, as well as the attention to detail in every course is just outstanding.
