The Japanese eatery Yakko-San started as a modest 65-seater on West Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach more than 11 years ago. In March 2011, the izakaya (drinks and small bites) joint moved into its current space on 163rd Street. What was once a small, inconspicuous restaurant became a sleek 140-seater. They also added a full liquor license and a sushi bar, which offers sashimi, nigiri, and makizushi (sushi rolls). But the eatery's best dishes still begin and end in the deep fryer. Try the crispy pork onion salad, which combines savory, deep-fried morsels of pork with refreshing sliced cherry tomatoes, radishes, red onions, and sprinkles of bitter watercress. Or the crispy bok choy, served with a garlic-soy sauce. Sample the restaurant's offerings -- which are all priced from $2 to $25 -- in the late evening too. Yakko-San's cooks don't put away their knives, pots, and pans until after 3 a.m.
Miami is a city laden with restaurants of little value. There are stylish joints, the kind where mediocre $24 tuna tartares and $30 chicken breasts, filled with fontina and foie gras, are the norm. Th... More »

Bits of bok choy hit a tub of sizzling soybean oil. Their ivory stems become tender; their edges turn a sudden golden hue. The jade leaves of the Chinese cabbage quickly begin to crisp. Pulled out of the deep fryer, the greens still glisten with... More »

I've been in Miami Beach since 1988. I have always been a huge fan of Hiro's even when they had a short stay on South Beach many moons ago. Nothing but the best of food and friendliness.
Good food, Good Vibes, open late, what more can you ask for, drunk at 3 in the morning?
Hiro is the master. This place is by far the best japanese restaurant in Miami
Hiro's by the numbers:3881: The Tokyo-style izakaya's new address on NE 163rd Street -- bigger and far less cramped than the former location.11: Categories on the menu -- soups, rice, noodles, tempura, grill, etc.100: Minimum number of items to choose from on any given night.13: Vegetable offerings, most of which you won't see anywhere else, such as fermented natto in toasted tofu skin.5 to 20: Place a dollar sign before each and that's the price range.23: Noodle...

They're just too good not to mention. More »
Most late-night spots stay open to serve revelers who just don't want to go home, and the menus reflect this purpose -- burgers, burritos, pizza, and Denny's-diner-type crap. Fuck that. Some of us who dine past midnight aren't drunk or drugged when doing so. In other words, we can taste the food. This holds especially true for those sushi chefs from South Miami to Broward County who take the late-night drive to Yakko-San after they pack their knife kits up at their respective Japanese...
