This place is EXCELLENT!!! Came here for valentine's day. I only dinged them for the price. 1.3k for 2 is expensive BUT you get what you pay for. I've eaten at a lot of sushi places and I've had a lot of Omakase, but this topped them all. Not because of the food (which is amazing but there are somewhat caparable places at that price range as well) but the sake pairings is what truly made this experience different. I've never had such great pairings in an omakase experience and I actually think that was very reasonably priced. 125/person comes with FIVE excellently paired libations for your 12 course meal. Amazing.

A taste of Spain right in the heart of Miami.

Chef Felipe invites you, with open arms, to his little corner of Spain, right here in Miami.

Great experience here. Chef/owner greeted and checked on us twice and our waitress provided 5 star treatment, including changing our flatware between each course. The food was well prepared, with authentic flavor and presentation. Both times I’ve dined here, the restaurant has had plenty of open tables. Not in the heart of downtown but worth a visit.

Always love the food BUT hate that they keep changing the menu and stop serving all my favorite dishes. I understand they love adding new creations but stop deleting all the staple dishes that we love

The service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Each dish tasted super fresh, unique, with a beautiful balance of flavors. We had the Umami butter service, Bison truffle meatballs, roasted carrots, Lobster and Uni Alfredo, Foie Gras Donettes and Lamb Shank. Everything was delicious. The Foie Gras Donettes were insanely good!!!

Our experience at Lima was incredible. First time visiting from Broward County. It was everything we expected and more, often times Nikkei restaurants leave a bit to be desired in the Miami area, featuring limited menus but this was different. Unique nigiri samplers that you won’t really find at any other spot for the same price. Also id like to say our server Manuel was incredibly attentive and friendly. He knew the entire menu and concept like the back of his hand and didn’t mind communicating in either English or Spanish. We will definitely be making the drive down to Lima again soon, it was beyond a great experience.

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.
