Novikov Miami

Just outstanding. Exceeded expectation, food was fresh, hot, FAST, consistent and sets a high bar. Flavors and freshness as bold as a samurai’s blade. In my history of cooking in New Orleans fine dining, coming to this MUST HAVE in Miami blew me away. Not to mention the staff- professional, punctual, quick, and CARING. Thank you Jan, amazing server, positive, happy, and a warm presence. Not to mention it was his first night as a server, but my perception said he was a seasoned vet. Thanks Luis, very cool GM. Everyone was great. I’ll be back. - Ryan

One of my best experiences in Miami. Came in after the heat game (walked in the rain as a true New Yorker. Sat at the bar and honestly best experience I’ve ever had sitting at a bar. “Samantha” was the absolute best. Great drinks, great convos and absolute great time. Highly recommend this place. The manager was also very welcoming and super friendly. Can’t wait to come back to try the food!!

My only regret is that I only had time this trip for a quick lunch... and that it was way too hot to sit outside. The Wasabi Martini was insane, and I could have easily had three or four more of these, but I had a boat to pilot right after... The wasabi is more in the background providing a slight umami kick while the yuzu pineapple played the main characters. Cucumber Tataki was not really a tataki, and while demonstrating excellent knife skills, has already been forgotten. Wagyu skewers met expectations, but nothing to write home about. The meal really started to take off with these shrimp and cilantro dim sum dumplings. The crispy duck hit! This would typically be called Peking Duck, and I believe on their dinner menu it is... I can't say enough about this Crispy Peking Duck. The pancakes were like a delicate gossamer. I thought for sure they would fall apart, but somehow had enough substance to hold all the ingredients together for a spectacular couple of bites. The duck itself was perfectly crispy, and everything came together just right. Looking back, I wonder, was I just hungry that day? Because, right now, if I had to choose one dish for the rest of my life on a desert island, well, this crispy duck would be in the top 10. Desserts were also good, although I forgot exactly what it was I had, can't wait to get back here for dinner...

For $99 all you can eat and drink brunch in the area - the deal really can’t be beat. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, and don’t want to worry about splitting up the check various ways at the end, their set price brunch is the perfect solution. I ate my fair share of stone crab, sushi and dumplings—way before the hot entrees came out. Will be returning!

I had an incredible dining experience at Restaurant Novikov, which expertly combines Japanese and Chinese cuisine. The standout dish for me was the duck, which was nothing short of awesome. The fried rice was excellent and complemented the meal perfectly. We opted for the $199 menu per person, and it was worth every penny for the exceptional quality of food and the overall experience. The fusion of flavors and the high-quality ingredients make Novikov a must-visit restaurant for anyone who appreciates exquisite Asian cuisine.

Definitely my favorite restaurant in the city. Upon entering Novikov Miami, you will immediately be transported to a world where modern sophistication meets timeless elegance. The elegant, dimly lit dining room is complemented by a large drinks bar and an open kitchen where highly skilled chefs prepare delicious dishes before your eyes. My favorites are Kobe sushi, caviar, lobster and duck. This modern restaurant is a unique and unforgettable dining experience. The outdoor seating area, surrounded by the bay, adds an extra layer of charm. For a sophisticated evening filled with exquisite sushi and seafood dishes, impeccable service and a welcoming atmosphere, this hidden gem is a must-visit. Novikov will remain in your heart as an unforgettable culinary destination.
