What a treat! This is our favorite in South Beach and there is a lot of competition. Food and service are both outstanding. Looking forward to next visit.

We very much enjoyed our first visit to Paperfish. We were pleased with the hamachi tiradito, the pork and shrimp gyoza, the spicy tuna roll and the hamachi jalapeño roll. Drinks and service were also on point. We also appreciated several check-ins by Sebastian, presumably a manager. The prices were reasonable for South Beach in our opinion and the 20 percent service charge fairly standard these days. My one point of constructive criticism has to do with where we sat. We sat inside of the lovely restaurant but on the path for garbage to be regularly removed from the restaurant to some site outside the restaurant (we are not sure where). This may be the only way they have to remove trash throughout the night and if so we suggest they at least dress up the vessel that removes the garbage to perhaps match the decor of the restaurant. It would certainly be more pleasing to guests seated in that path than what is currently happening. The design of the restaurant is lovely so we imagine one of the creatives can come up with something much more pleasing while still being functional.

The head chef was such a pleasure. Listened into conversations so he could add to them when needed. Was very friendly. The tuna and uni, in particular, were phenomenal. Mackerel was great, but not on par with the rest of the fish. Cooked dishes were perfectly balance. Rice had wonderful hold while still maintaining good separation between the grains. Service staff was so attentive. Noisy conversation took away from the intimacy of the counter, but that’s to be expected in Miami, I think. Overall, a beautiful experience I would absolutely do again!

AMAZING! Can’t believe we have never dined here before. There really is no basic Asian restaurant in Miami that’s not $$$$ and the Dim Sim at Tanuki is incredible. Our waiter/bartender David was great and I can’t wait to go back !
