Amazonia was recommended to us for the great food, and it didn’t disappoint! All dishes were delicious and well presented. Matías was our server and he did a great job. We were celebrating a birthday and they made sure to make it extra special. I highly recommend! It.

About the restaurant
A fusion of Japanese, Thai, and Caribbean dishes lends a unique twist to many signature plates.

With a world-class chef cooking prime cuisine, Taikin boasts the sous-vide method, a cooking process that retains juices, aromas, and texture for an unparalleled dining experience.
The restaurant is well-located and easy to find. In fact, if you are an area professional needing a new lunch hour spot (or a spot to wine, dine and impress clients over lunch), look no further. Taikin has the elegance and simplicity you need to make a good impression. After all, the name “Taikin” represents fortune and wealth.

About the restaurant
Nami Nori is a casual, award. winning, temaki bar specializing in open-style sushi hand rolls. Our menu features signature temaki, including crunchy varieties, as well as takes on the classics and a special vegan section. The open-style temaki allows guests to enjoy a wide variety of flavors, in each fun-to-eat, visually tempting bite.

We also serve Japanese-inspired snacks and appetizers, along with a selection of beer, sake and wine, available on tap and by the bottle. Nami Nori is a casual yet elegant temaki bar offering guests a unique sushi dining experience in Williamsburg. Coming from the rarified Japanese restaurants in which they trained, partners Taka Sakaeda, Jihan Lee and Lisa Limb envisioned Nami Nori to be a more inclusive place that balances accessibility with a dedication to quality and creativity with a respect for traditional techniques.

Nami Nori is a place to share with friends, old and new.

So I fell in love with Nami Nori in NYC and was so happy to hear that they opened one in Miami. Wish it was closer to were I live but a lot closer than New York. I love all the temaki and how the quality of the fish is delicious. Out server Stephon was the best and made us feel at home. One thing I have to say is the seaweed (nori) felt like it was sitting out for too long.

Pedro our server was great. We ordered a la carte from the menu. All our beef dishes were good except the angus, it was fatty & chewy. The skirt steak was amazing! Live their happy hour!
