Located in the heart of Coral Gables, Kojin serves modern American cuisine with a Japanese twist. Helmed by Chefs Pedro & Katherine Mederos, Kojin offers an elevated dining experience and extensive menu, including a variety of flame-grilled dishes and fresh seafood, prepared using innovative culinary techniques.
Building on the success of the chefs' first restaurant which entered the Michelin Guide for two consecutive years, Kojin aims to serve guests the highest-quality ingredients at their peak seasonality and freshness, whether that means sourcing produce from local Florida farmers or importing ingredients from Japan.

Best meal in Miami. I’ve been 2-3 times now and every time I come there’s something new on the menu that’s blows my mind. World class meal and service. I’ve done the tasting menu and a la carte and they’re both. Highly recommend.

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!
