We attended a special event with visiting chef’s from XO in Columbia. Food was interesting and amazing. Chef made great wine pairing choices. Great location in Coral Gables and no need to deal with Beach traffic.

Amazing restaurant! Food was inventive and delicious … service was excellent. Will definitely return. We are in form out of town and staying near the airport, where it’s tough to find lots of great places to eat. Kojin was a blessing … could not have asked for a better place to dine. Their wines are fabulous (they do not offer cocktails). And the staff from time to time dropped a little something extra at our table to taste. They even suggested a wonderful local salsa club nearby to go after dinner. This place rocks!

Food absolutely amazing, each dish is so special it is hard to decide what to order. You must have the Caesar Salad, the dressing is full of flavor with a touch of Japan. We always order the pasta special, whatever it is, and the Iberico ham. Perfectly cooked, you want to linger over each bite to savot the delicious combination of flavors. This is our go to place with friends - and BONUS - it is small and quiet and you can actually have a conversation!
