    Absolutely outstanding service. Vladimir is one of the best waiters we have ever had anywhere! He assisted with gluten-free options, made great recommendations, and was always available. The dinner was incredible, as usual!

    Delicious food, great vibe! Massive menu and challenging to interpret, so be sure to rely on the exceptional service they provide. The wine list is $$$, so if you’re not a big wino, don’t be shy to let them know you want to stay under $250. My only “negative” comment would be about the fried chicken. Supposedly it’s the famous dish that helped bridge the gap from food truck to restaurant, and unfortunately, I was not impressed and believe you can skip over that and focus on other delicious items.

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
