It was our first time to try the restaurant and we were blown away! The overall experience was amazing. Jet, our server gave us exceptional service and the staff too. The food was amazing. It felt like it was just like home. It reminded me a lot of Philippines. Thank you so much for the memorable experience. You guys made our anniversary great!

Excellent service and interesting menu. They have live music sometimes which makes the atmosphere lively and fun but does not feel like you’re in a club as with most Miami restaurants. The signature sea urchin was great, so was the more simple crispy chicken.

The dishes were spectacular, great quality of raw materials and great skill in the preparation. The server Vlad was perfect, he knew all the dishes and cocktails perfectly and was very helpful with his suggestions, he was also always present and fast. Very nice ambience. Possibly the best fusion restaurant in Miami.

Pao was awesome from start to finish. The food is amazing. The avocado to start was a delicate balance of flavours. The smashed cucumber was so good. The fried chicken was the best I’ve ever had. I literally booked back in for next month while sitting at the table enjoying our meal. So many fantastic choices. I was the designated driver and chose the passion fruit non alcoholic cocktail and that was delicious. Not to be missed
