    This place is mediocre at best. Sure, the restaurant is beautiful (I mean during the daytime at least so you can ACTUALLY appreciate the sun shining through the open ceiling). But overall, the music, food, service was lackluster. We ordered a variety of dishes including the jalea mixta, spicy tuna crispy rice, yellowtail nikkei sashimi, asado de tira, chicken kaarage and wagyu gyoza. Not a single dish stood out to us, overwhelming lack of flavor complexity; essentially one note. Service was also quite disappointing. Perhaps the already included 20% gratuity allowed the server to forget about ordering our drinks/food and not check on us a single time to ask if we needed anything… like basic things such as condiments. Hello, soy sauce? Lastly, the inability to divide up our check at the end was the cherry on top. We were a group of 6 and had all of our orders written out on our phone yet they were unable to accommodate and limited us 4 cards only to pay. All in all, there are many other aesthetically pleasing, fusion-style, Japanese inspired restaurants here in Miami such as Dragonfly and Paperfish. Unlikely would I visit again, this is a prime example of over asking and under delivering.

    One of the best dining experiences I've ever had in my life. All of the dishes we ordered had multiple layers and complexity in flavor. The dish that stood out for me was the tuna with foigras. Amazing!

    Very nice place my friend and I went in for a late lunch and tired out various items on the menu. I would say most things are the size of an appetizer. (So small portions) overall the staff was very nice and helpful when explaining the menu. Cocktails were also very delicious. The only thing I didn’t care for was the table we were sat at, it kept rocking🙃 but besides that I enjoyed this place very much.

    Stop what you are doing and go to Chotto Matte. This was a great experience that hit a high note on all aspects. Food was incredibly tasty and well presented; amazing Nikkei cuisine. Service was on point, accommodating, and attentive without being overwhelming. The restaurant's decoration, vibe, and entertainment was excellent! We had the tasting menu, they have different tiers and after dining here, I can comfortably say they are well worth it. The drinks are expertly crafted and taste great. They also had amazing entertainment with a fire dancer that interacted with all the patrons. Great experience and is a must, hands down without hesitation. Trust me, you will love it!

    This places is quite cool, food and drinks are good but the service is slow, drinks are small, if you want a full drink better order 2 at the same time since it will take time to be on your table and they will be small. Food will take a bit but it is very good food. The atmosphere is quite nice, bathrooms are cool for photos but hard to find 🤣

    Ten stars!!! We went earlier in the day when they first open. We tried them the first day and my god! Blown away! Everyone and I mean everyone was extremely friendly and professional! It was a dining experience like no other. Flavors drinks atmosphere amazing! I was struggling with my chopsticks and our waiter gave us an excellent presentation on how to utilize them best! Had a great time. We came back the very next day! Chef personally came out to greet us and made us a special dessert! A very special place was etched into my heart those two days… Whenever we come back to Miami we will always always always visit!!! Food was so good I couldn’t take many photos 😜 The bathroom is the black light!!!

    First time visiting we waited over 15 mins for a table that we made reservations for and guest walked in after us were seated immediately. The scenery was very pretty and perfect for our girls night out. The food presentation matched the place but seasoning was a little off. Drinks were amazing.

    Chotto Miami is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Miami Beach! From the moment I stepped into their stunning event space, I was captivated by its beauty. The ambiance alone set the stage for an unforgettable evening. I recently attended an event at Chotto Miami, and I must say, it was impeccably executed. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the exquisite decor to the seamless flow of the evening’s program. What made the experience even more memorable was the incredible hospitality provided by Jennifer the manager. She ensured that every guest felt welcomed and attended to, adding a personal touch that made all the difference. The staff at Chotto Miami deserves special commendation for their warmth and friendliness. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine smiles and helpful assistance, making me feel right at home. Overall, my experience at Chotto Miami was nothing short of exceptional. If you’re looking for a place with an amazing event space, impeccable service, and a fun atmosphere, look no further. I highly recommend Chotto Miami to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

    Amazing spot! Really beautiful and unique decor, it even has an opening roof and nice mood lighting. Food was absolutely amazing! So delicious every single plate and so much flavor. Even the gluten free dessert which was the lava cake. Highly recommend!!

    Upscale fusion restaurant with an amazing ambiance. I tried the Nikkei Menu Deluxe. Out of the 9 choices, I must say that the yellowtale Nikkei Sashimi and the spicy o-Toro sashimi were the best ones. One thing is that everybody needs to get a sharing menu. So be ready to pay large.

    This place will make you WOW, so unique from the construction of the open roof over the main bar and sitting area, to a giant entre door 30 x10 feet, graffiti style art with lots live plants and exotic huge lava rocks throughout entire restaurant. Food and service top level and faire price structure. One more very cute bartender and she created wonderful coctails.

    Found this place through word of mouth. From the very entrance I could tell it was going to be stunning and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is beautifully designed. It has a retractable roof in its center atrium and has volcanic rock featured throughout the space. The hostess, servers and runners were very professional and pleasant. Our server was fantastic and guided us as to what the concept was (tapas) and what he specifically recommended. I had a glass of cava which I was so excited they had and it was delicious! Each plate looked incredible and the flavors and textures were amazing. The Jungle Salad, the Truffle Purple Mash, Dragon Roll and the Crab croquettes were great to name a few. The only area of the restaurant I think they can improve is the bathrooms. There was no soap in the dispenser and there wasn’t enough LIGHT to see where things were and whether or not there are hooks for your bag, paper towels and even a trash can or even to see if the bathrooms were vacant or occupied on the doors. Other than that it was a great experience and I actually look forward to returning when I’m in town next. Leave a like or follow me if this was helpful.

    Chotto Matte in Miami was an unforgettable experience! The intimate ambiance, top-notch service by Ana and Chef Christian, and mouthwatering food make it the ultimate Miami hotspot. The drinks are just the cherry on top. A definite must-visit!

    I’m already craving so hard to come back and eat all the delicious food. I love this place so much, came to celebrate one of my beat friends birthdays and the atmosphere was vibrant and beautiful. The purple truffle mashed potatoes spectacular!!!

    Place is interesting..we ordered a 8 course menu, we liked it however we didn’t have enough time to enjoy each plate since the serving was to fast. Service was just Ok, I expect a better service when paying $200 per person.

    Tropical outdoor ambiance, good looking and tasting food, disappointing service. Was here for a birthday dinner on a Friday night. Naturally a bit busy. Our table had a bunch of service workers, we understand the night can get busy, but to repeatedly ignore our multiple requests to place an order is inexcusable. So it took over an hour wait just to place a food order and then another long wait for the food to come out. Also they brought out a nice place of churros that said happy bday which we got charged for. We didn’t order it just said it was for a birthday. Could’ve said it would be charged or simply not brought it out. I guess they put an automatic 20% tip on the $700 bill so they don’t have to actually do their job.

    Had an amazing night at Chotto Motto!!! The food is so flavorful we loved it. Excellent and attentive service. The vibe is beautiful and vibrant, definitely recommend!!! Make sure to save room for dessert 🤤

    I liked this place, my husband didn’t. Place is really beautiful, amazing interior, service was excellent. I liked music as well, it gave me nice vibe. We tried almost all the menu))) and it was ok. My hubby had some stomachache after this place, that’s why he didn’t like it. To be honest the place is overpriced, there are lots of places with the same dishes at least 2 times cheaper. I’m glad I tried it, but don’t feel like I want to come back

  • 3/5 Danielle S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a beautiful restaurant! The decor is garden nature inspired. Sitting at the bar was the coolest experience. The cocktails are amazing! I thought my food was okay. I ordered the spicy chicken Karaage. It was over cooked, tough, and salty. My friend wasn't impressed with her sushi. Overall I would go back just for drinks, perhaps try another dish next time.

  • 5/5 Kesh P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool vibe and atmosphere. A dark Earth atmosphere with a tropical rainforest experience. Food is really good. Definitely recommend yellowtail sashimi dish and yellowtail crispy rice. The wagyu aburi sashimi at the table was perfect for a party of 4. Don't forget the sake!

    We had the most amazing experience at Chotto Matte! We were celebrating our honeymoon and we were made to feel very special, they even gave us a lovely dessert with congratulations written in chocolate. I'd highly recommend it.

    What a cool Miami spot! Tons of different hyped up artists. Graffiti, street art, and epic levels of delicious food. Asian fusion Sushi Steak Vibes!!! A++ all around. Will be back soon.

  • 1/5 NC 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place , very romantic and sexy ambiance. The service was excellent. The food and drinks I would not recommend. I ordered the yellow tail tradito and ate it without really enjoying very spicy and thick chunks of fish. I ordered a guac and chips and it was tiny and spicy! Everything seemed to be extra spicy here . After trying what the server recommended I did NOT want to try anything else on the menu. Prices was high and expectations was low. Bad fish quality , bad cut and extreme spice flavors. I ordered a pisco sour and it came with a bug floating on top. I told the server and he exchanged it immediately but would have been nicer to get the first drink on the house. I payed about $100 for 2 drinks and 2 appetizers. Would have went anywhere else and had a lot more value and food for that kind of money.

    I loved this place. Classy, with very original decor, great service, and superb food. I had the Nikkei menu, which means you get a total of eight small dishes, brought to you one after the other, and it includes a dessert.

  • 4/5 Matthew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice ambiance. Can’t complain about anything. The service tonight was prompt and answered any question we had about the menu. Gave us the complete run down of the menu and recommended some very tasty drinks and food items. We got the braised beef and hibachi grill and enjoyed them both. We also tried a couple apps to start with our drinks and were impressed. Nothing to rave about but the food was delicious l. A little pricy but well worth the experience. Definitely recommend trying this place at least for happy hour.

    We had an amazing dinner at Chotto Matte for a large group of 13! Melissa was a pleasure to work with to organize a set menu option for a Friday night. She was even able to custom print menus at my request as we were celebrating a bachelor party. Jose our server was very attentive and provided great recommendations when it came to drinks. All the staff at the restaurant took exceptional care of our group with no detail left behind! As for the food, everything was exceptional and tasted very fresh. For a large group of 13, our 10 course tasting menu was coursed out perfectly. The vibe and ambiance is exceptional and the DJ was top notch. All around we could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to dining again whether it is with a small group or a larger group for a special occasion!

    This place never disappoints, from the moment you walk in til you leave . The manager mark greeted us right away and was very friendly and inviting . The food is unbelievable and always on point . The octopus is the best I’ve ever had in my life . The tuna crispy rice is absolutely delicious. The service is always top notch , make sure to ask for Jose , he’s the best in the biz. The ambience , music and hospitality is unmatched. The cocktails are well balanced and very tasty . I can’t wait to go back !!

    Wow this place blew my mind. I went for happy hour 2 for 1 drinks and got the best sashimi I’ve ever had (yellow fin) for $22. Inside is like no other place I’ve been. Service was fantastic too.

  • 5/5 Kish C. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible experience. This restaurant had the most incredible aesthetic and interior design I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. Not only was the food absolutely, mouth-wateringly incredible but the service was additionally exceptional. With a massive variety of different foods and experimental cuisine, the experience overall was quite simply incredible.

    I was walking from Lincoln Road on evening and saw this interesting looking place on a side street, a huge door semi-open, revealing an enticing environment. At that moment I was wearing my scrubs so made a mental note to come back one day. Finally that day came, and me and my boyfriend went for dinner on a Saturday night. Reservations were disputed, and when you walk through that mysterious door, it’s clear why. The ambiance is just amazing, such a great vibe! It’s hard to describe it… lively, an upscale, high end restaurant, you could be in any major city in the world. Just look at the photos! That night there was a live DJ playing electronic music and you feel like inspired to party. There’s a downside to that though: music is a but too loud for conversations. Service was quick and very good, a lot attention to details, staff was friendly and helpful. We absolutely loved the food, not touristy like many other places in Miami Beach. The portions are small, we got a bunch of things to share and were very satisfied. Many times you go to a restaurant where you feel you pay too much for the food. But here it was worth every penny. I can’t wait to come back and try everything else from the menu! Amazonian Salmon - exquisite taste, amazing combination of flavors! Every bite was magic! Shrimp spring roll - very interesting, crispy, tasty, different. The dipping sauce was magnificent! (That’s my boyfriend’s description…) Chaufa rice with shrimp - tasty, had a nice subtle smokey taste. My boyfriend really liked it, to me it was good but nothing special. Pork belly - my boyfriend and I disagreed on this one. I really loved it! And he said the flavor was “a little too intense”. Oh well. Dragon roll: good! But nothing surprising about it. Chocolate brownie: it was a bit too sweet for me. But very good, rich, full of texture. The mango sorbet was superb.

    We loved the food here! Would definitely recommend the hamachi appetizer & salmon with goji berries! Those two dishes were out of this world but all the other dishes we got were fantastic as well! Service was nice and polite, food was timely. Only complaint would be the cleanliness of the bathrooms and lack of lighting. If I was them I would change the bathrooms!
