    If you're looking for a unique and delicious dining experience, Drunken Dragon Korean Fusion Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The standout dishes on the menu are the crispy skin chicken and the Thai donuts with ice cream. The chicken is perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, and the seasoning is spot-on. Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or not, this dish is sure to impress. And the Thai donuts with ice cream are a perfect way to end your meal on a sweet note. The donuts are light and fluffy, and the ice cream is rich and creamy, making for a perfect combination of textures and flavors. But it's not just the food that makes this restaurant special - the servers are great too. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with recommendations or any other needs you may have during your dining experience. Their excellent service adds to the overall enjoyable experience of dining at the restaurant. Overall, Drunken Dragon Korean Fusion Restaurant is a great spot for anyone looking to try something new and exciting. The food is flavorful, well-prepared, and presented beautifully, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

    Trendy Korean BBQ and Asian fusion Restaurant, offering a variety menu with Korean classics and also their own style plate options, nice ambience with loud music, tasty food, exceptional service and good prices, definitely a must visit for a unique exotic oriental experience in Miami South Beach.

    I've driven past this place several times . Now I have stopped in, and WOW, what a great surprise. Armando was our waiter and patiently took us through the menu . Everything was delicious . The atmosphere was great and we will be back with more of our friends .

    The outside of the venue is a bit deceiving, the signage looked like something out of old time diners but once we got inside we were impressive with the look of the place. A nice low light setting with the expected Korean touches. The food was slightly more expensive than we were expecting but the cuts of meat and overall selection were worth it. The one area we had some issue with was the young lady serving us. We received more friendly help and service from the waiter from the table next to us. Either way I think she was either new or having a bad night. Regardless I'd recommend the venue and would visit again.

    Incredible Korean in Miami. Everything we had here including cocktails was excellent. The tuna tataki pizza had super fresh tuna and a great mix of toppings, the chicken wings are fried to perfection with great dipping sauces. The oxtail stone pot rice mixed up table-side was delicious. My favorite thing was the BFR or the big friggin rib a slow cooked short rib with bao buns and lettuce wraps. Great bread pudding and donuts and awesome cocktails. Our server made great recommendations and was super friendly and fun. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone going to Miami.

    Food tasted delicious but be prepared to spend 22 on one chicken breast. We had a variety of the meats you grill, chicken, shrimp, tenderloin and skirt steak. We also got bulgogi and bao buns and pork belly from the cook side. Everything was very delicious. Some of our order came out wrong, the server got confused. The bar was behind on drinks because they only had one server. We were never checked on by our server we had to summon one each time, but there were people around clearing stuff. I feel like maybe they were understaffed tonight. The servers themselves were super pleasant. Fries have a curry salt. A sweet savory. They were able to seat the six of us. Back to the meats. They don't give you meat scissors, the meats come out cut. But they weren't cut well for eating right off the grill or cooking in equal sizing, that could have been a bit better. The music was a smidge to loud for me but I like a quieter dining experience.

    I would really like someone to come to Miami and open a decent Korean restaurant for everyday occasions (there’s a Cote). I tried Drunken Dragon in Miami Beach supposedly was Korean but it wasn’t. The twice fried chicken was good but the stone pot rice was terrible. $58 total. Service was great. Just don’t expect it to be Korean food. The kitchen doesn’t know what Korean food is.

    A total hidden jewel of Miami Ambiance is super nice, chill, good music and the decor is really cool. From the outside it seems that it is a normal place, but once you enter its a totally different story The food is amazing as well. Specially the short rib on the grill and the pork belly baos. The bi bim bap is ok- ask for the sweet soy sauce to enhance the flavor. Service is also amazing. Great, great place

    This place never misses. EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious. My friend and I were just staring at each other in awe saying “mMmMmm” all night. *chefs kiss* Julisse is a great server too! Recommended just what we were craving.

    Wife picked this one and she did very well. You ever heard don't judge a book by its cover. This is it. I'll be honest as I drove by to park the vehicle I really did not know what to expect. Walking up, the suited host opens the door and I knew by the aroma I was in good spot. The decor was amazing. Sit down and I have to say the portions were perfect. I had the tenderloin and strip steak. The meat was seasoned and prepared perfectly. Lucky Buddha beer if I can give you a little hint to wash dinner down as you go. Fired up the grill and went to work on this amazing food. Very satisfied with the service and the entire experience. Walking to the restroom I saw they were ranked as a top restaurant in the state and country. I know why now.

    Let’s start by saying: best dumplings in the entire world! One of the managers took care of us and angered in a very nice conversation. Cocktails are amazing. Food was delicious! I had high expectations for this place and they lived up to them. This is gonna be a regular spot for me!

    Love drunken dragon! The food is impeccably made. I always come here for late night happy hour because the drinks are absolutely delicious and the ambience of the restaurant is just what you’re looking for around that time of night. Definitely recommend trying at least once after that you’ll be hooked!

    Great atmosphere, and you wouldn't guess it from the blacked out window on the outside. The food was very good. They have a bit limited selection of grill meats, but the quality was good. I recommend the skirt steak and the sausages. The Cesar salad was very good and is definitely recommended, if you like roasted Brussels sprouts.

    Hidden gem - looks so unassuming from outside but it's a gorgeous restaurant inside with a great bar program and fantastic food! We went for happy hour and were v happy with the quality of the food and range of items. We had twice fried chicken, fried bok choy, Korean fries, dumplings etc. Fantastic!

    Place and service was good but really didn’t like the food. The dishes were pretty but we didn’t find the ingredients were great. I’m sure some ppl would love the bbq , we did mostly apps

    Everything we ordered was amazing!! We shared the pork belly, short ribs, shishito peppers, banchan, and the oxtail stone pot rice. Amazing ambiance and food came out quickly.

  • 4/5 Onur O. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden and hip Korean BBQ restaurant. The bartender was a bit snobby, but the food and service was good overall. Another downside was that we were charger extra on top of the tip, which I found out the next day…

  • 5/5 gavin e. 10 months ago on Google
    Wow talk about hidden gem. I was told to come try this restaurant by a “local”. Safe to say it blew my expectations out of the water. I tried an enormous amount of food. Everything was exceptional. I can’t wait to come back Our server was great.. Armando kept us well hydrated The bathrooms were clean Drinks were good Saki was well priced

  • 5/5 Byron O. 11 months ago on Google
    The whole experience was outstanding, it is located in a plaza with no expectations next to a Subway, but when you get in you enter a different world. The servers work hard to help and make your experience even better.

  • 5/5 Chelsea Del C. 1 year ago on Google
    Much needed date night. Hubby said he wanted to try it out I said let’s go! We arrived and found a parking spot right out front. Looks are deceiving from the outside because it looks like a hole in the wall. The hostess asked if he had reservations we said no. We requested to sit at one the bbq tables she said there was a wait and asked if we wanted to wait at the bar. We went to the bar and ordered a round of drinks and began to look at the menu. Within 10 minutes our table was ready. Our waiter Ryan was knowledgeable and provided excellent service. We ordered the edamame, pork belly gyoza, Shanghai fried rice, tenderloin, shrimp, and pork belly to cook ourselves. Finished it off with sharing the Amsterdam dessert. Can’t wait to return!

    Ok, 4 of us came for happy hour and tried many drinks and shared lots of food. That way we all got to try a lil of everything. I have to say we all loved the food and drinks. Now the music was also GREAT! I'm 40 on a Tuesday and I felt great

    Living in SB this used to be my local go to spot for happy hour. The Happy Hour menu if you ask me is better than the regular one. Happy hour is only in the bar area which fills up fast. Garlic fry rice is my got to. Bartenders are friendly and its always a fun chill vibe.

  • 5/5 Hannah P. 8 months ago on Google
    This place really amazed me as soon as I walked in! Totally unexpected. The bartenders were so nice, winio was so nice and met nice people! I was just visiting Miami but will definitely come back again! 10/10!

  • 5/5 Isabella L. 2 years ago on Google
    A Korean Inspired place so banchan not included!! Very impressive drinks menu, I really enjoyed the cocktail I got. Our waitress explained the portion sizes for the barbeque meats very clearly so we ordered just the perfect amount. Excellent cuts and great ambience.
