Kojin 2.0 is a huge addition to the Coral Gables dining scene. Fresh innovative and delicious dishes and a rotating menu make it fun and worthwhile to come back often. We bring a different couple each time to introduce as many of our friends as we can to Chef Pedro and the amazing Pastry Chef and hostess extraordinaire, Katherine. Service is always spot on and the atmosphere has a positive buzz all the time. The wonderful mushroom presentation is always delicious and Chef has a way with beef, either short rib or flank steak, sometimes both in one night. The Wreck fish is thick and flaky, never dry, and accompanied by a fabulous sauce. Thumbs up and we look forward to our next experience.

Last night’s dinner was a dazzling showcase of creativity and flavor, thanks to Pedro—a true culinary magician. From the start, it was clear we weren’t just eating; we were being taken on a journey. Pedro’s ability to transform something as simple as an oyster or a chicharrón into an esquite-inspired revelation was only the beginning. What truly distinguished the evening wasn’t only the brilliance of Pedro’s dishes—it was the sense that every bite was crafted with purpose, depth, and a quiet confidence. Each course struck a harmonious chord between rustic charm and refined elegance, with adventurous flavors that revealed themselves in nuanced and unexpected ways. Our experiences in Michelin-starred or Michelin-style restaurants have been about glamour, theatricality, and impeccable service—hallmarks of fine dining that create unforgettable moments. But this dinner was different. With Pedro, the focus was entirely on the food. No spectacle, no distraction—just the soul of the cuisine on full display. The kind of magic that reminds you why you fell in love with food in the first place.

All of the chefs and staff make you feel at home as if you are eating dinner at your friends house. The food is worth driving an hour for, and they change the menu and continue to make it better each time I eat there. Great night out and easy parking makes it even better.

Food, ambience, service, all 10/10! It was an incredible experience. The servers were super attentive and helpful throughout our dinner service. They also made great recommendations when asked about drinks and pairings. The chefs/owners are in the dining room with you, constantly engaging with guests enhancing the experience. The overall vibe feels like going over a friends house for dinner; enjoying impeccable food, wine, and music.

FANTASTIC!!!! The best place we’ve been in a long time. Service exceeded expectations from the bar, the service staff and the chef WOW! And they were super accommodating with our allergies and intolerances. We tried the tasting menu and just blew our minds. Also you’ll have to have the chicharrones with the caviar 🤯, it’s a little splurge and you’d think that it doesn’t go together but oh my, what a treat!!! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you all
