"I went from Lincoln Road in the evening and saw this interesting looking place on a side street, a huge door half open, a fascinating environment. At this moment I wore my shrubs such a mental note to come back one day. In the end, the day came, and I and my friend went to dinner on a Saturday night. Reservations have been contested and if you go through this mysterious door, it is clear why. The ambience is simply amazing, such a great mood! It's hard to describe it... lively, an upscale, state-of-the-art restaurant, you could be in any big city in the world. Look at the pictures! At night there was a live DJ playing electronic music and you feel like inspired to party. There is a disadvantage, however: music is too loud for conversations. Service was fast and very good, lots of attention on details, staff was friendly and helpful. We loved eating absolutely, not touristy as many other places in Miami Beach. The parts are small, we have a few things to share and were very satisfied. Many times go to a restaurant where you feel that 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 diving sauce was great! (This is the description of my friend... chaufa rice with shrimps tasty, had a nice subtle smoke taste. My friend really liked it, for me it was good, but nothing special. Pork belly my friend and I disagreed. I really loved it! And he said the taste was “a little too intense”. Dragon roll: good! But nothing surprising. Chocolate Brownie: It was a little too sweet for me. But very good, rich, full texture. Mango Sorbet was great."

"I recently visited Izakaya Takasei and had a mixed experience.My boyfriend and I ordered the takoyaki, chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl, several yakitori, takowasabi (raw octopus with wasabi), and the Kobe beef roll. While the takoyaki and yakitori were delicious, the chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl was really bland. The Kobe beef roll was a bit odd with the combination of garlic butter and tataki sauce. Unfortunately, there were also a few items on the menu that were no longer available, which was a bit disappointing. It would be good for the restaurant to update their menu to avoid any confusion or disappointments.While the food at Izakaya Takasei comes out quickly, this can also be a double-edged sword. During my visit, my boyfriend and I received several dishes at once, which meant that a lot of our food was sitting out and getting cold while we were eating the others. It would be great if the kitchen could pace the dishes better to ensure that everything is served at the optimal temperature.The service was a bit lackluster as well. The only time we were able to ask for condiments, utensils, and more water was when the employees brought our food out. No one checked on us throughout our meal, and it would have been nice to have a more attentive staff.On the plus side, the restaurant has nice Japanese decor and is quite spacious. However, there was no background music, which made the ambiance a bit dull.Overall, while there were some drawbacks, Izakaya Takasei may be worth checking out if you're in the area and in the mood for some Japanese cuisine. Just be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp beforehand and check in with the host when you arrive."
