"Umami Kanpachi We recently checked out Makoto’s badly-needed and very impressive renovation. The Bal Harbour spot now has a new colorful dining room that feels like eating inside a perfectly ripe peach, some lovely patio seating, and a cute outdoor bamboo bar. The menu has been trimmed down a bit too, and the best thing we tried from it was the umami kanpachi. The fish was buttery and delicious, there was an ideal amount of yuzu, and the crispy garlic chips gave each bite a little crunch. If you find yourself here, this needs to be on the table." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
