Best Known For

Master soy roasted duck breast, greens and mustard with sides of steamed rice and garlic vegetables.

Balancing classic dishes with modern twists, Gold Coast foodies head to Little Itoshin Japanese Dining Bar on Mountainview Avenue in Miami to appease Japanese cravings. This small and humble dining space oozes a cosy izakaya-style vibe and serves boutique wines, imported beer and original cocktails to pair with small plates such as ponzu-fried cuttlefish with Itoshin hot sauce. Tantalises tastebuds with pan-fried pork gyoza dumplings and dipping sauce, or the sashimi selection of the day; before delving into Wagyu beef tataki, mixed salad, ponzu and yuzu kosho. Perhaps Panko chicken katsu curry hits the mark with fried vegetables and a side of steamed rice, or teriyaki-braised chicken thigh with mixed leaves and rice. For a sweet finish, choose tempura ice cream and miso caramel.
