1-800-Lucky operates with a cool, hawker-ish setup to create an electric ambience for diners. There's an outdoor section with beautiful lights and lanterns, a VIP section which can be reserved, music and dance space, and a bar; if you pass into the covered, slightly enclosed area you see the 6 little food "stands," one of which is a full sushi bar in the center of the room. There are tables and seating spots scattered throughout the available space, and it's a little quieter inside than out, something to be aware of if you'd prefer to sit and talk than to stand and dance. The staff are hyper attentive at clearing tables when you're finished eating, and you can get up and move freely to different stations to order food-the readiness of which you're informed of through texts or buzzers they hand you when you order. The sushi was excellent, and there are simple options for purists and jazzed-up experiments for the audacious. The dim sum options were really tasty and come piping hot, all the better for whetting your appetite, so I suggest you start off with some shrimp or shrimp and chive dumplings to share with the table, before everyone breaks off to order their own things. The bubble tea was happily present, but not particularly mindblowing; it's a treat when you're missing it but not a destination for it. I thought the same of the fried chicken sando-Miami has better foodtrucks for this- but that could have just been all the food catching up with me. The bone-in chicken wings came were beautifully displayed and came with a cooling honey sauce, with an option for a really good sriracha-mayo type condiment. I would go again! It's located in wynwood and you can get a car or you can drive - there's quite a lot of spots alongside the adjacent streets if you're willing to park and walk. It's a cool place to hang out, but make sure you go early if you don't want to have to wander around for seats, especially if you're in a 2+ people group. It's beautiful, bright, lively, and worth visiting; and if you choose according to your tastes and do some research, the food will be well worth the...
Read moreMan, this was pretty rough. The vibe and look of the place is undoubtedly good and the PR team has done such an excellent job and I applaud them for it but execution wise in terms of food, unfortunately below par and sad.
As Asian I was so excited to come and support. Usagi out of the 3 establishments we ordered from was the most decent one. We ordered their supposedly 'best ramen' but it was a little bland and felt the broth was under seasoned. We ordered the pork buns from Yip because they already ran out of the shrimp and pork shu mai in the afternoon and the buns were just okay. The saddest thing is the pork barbecue from Jeepney. It was almost a 40 minute wait (to the point where we were contemplating on canceling and walking out) and when it finally arrived, it wasn't pinoy pork barbecue. It was masquerading as one. My goodness that was the most dismal attempt for a pinoy barbecue despite the availability of ready made Filipino barbecue marinade sauces. This one used a distinctly tangy barbecue sauce that would have been fine if it was also half decent as a barbecue of whatever kind but we literally didn't even finish it anymore. What's even more disappointing is smiling while you're ordering at Jeepney and saying I'm always supporting Filipino restaurants but was met by two blank stares of both people manning the booth/store. I get it they're not invested, who cares right? But it all adds up to the experience. I've eaten at Maharlika here in NYC before (same owners of Jeepney I heard and they were pretty good) so my question is what happened with Jeepney in Miami? Something isn't right and I really hope they fix that for the business to survive.
P.S My husband told me that I'm being generous and this should be a 1 out of 5. If you look at my reviews, I'm pretty generous and detailed but I also tell it like it is because I'm here for authenticity and making sure everyone gets value for their money so...
