I truly wish I didn’t have to write this. But what happened at 107 Taste (5966 S Dixie Hwy) tonight was unacceptable.
While eating, we found a piece of plastic inside the dish. Not beside it, not around it. Inside. At first, we were confused—but when I saw the look of disbelief in my boyfriend’s eyes, I knew this wasn’t a mistake on our part. It was plastic, no doubt. Possibly from a packaging seal.
The moment I was sure of what it was, I instinctively looked up—and noticed a camera perfectly angled at our table. The whole event is most likely recorded.
When we noticed it, the closest staff member was a busser. We asked him to call our server. But before we could even explain, he saw it himself, apologized, and went straight for the plate to take it away. I stopped him immediately. We didn’t want it removed or hidden. This wasn’t just a complaint—it was a health concern.
A few minutes passed—probably chaos in the kitchen. And then finally our actual server came. She too apologized and moved toward the plate again. I told her to stop. I didn’t want anyone touching it. I was in shock, and part of me was waiting for a manager or the chef to come and handle this professionally.
We asked for the chef. He didn’t come. We were told: “He doesn’t speak English.” I’m sorry, but that’s not an excuse. A chef whose food contained plastic should at least learn the words “I’m sorry.” That is the bare minimum. He didn’t bother.
They offered to replace the meal, but by then I was already feeling sick. And while the food had started out well, there are some things that are simply not forgivable.
This isn’t about a bad meal. It’s about basic safety and accountability. This should never happen—especially in the United States, where food safety regulations are so strict. There is no version of the story where this is okay. No angle where this is “just a mistake.” A foreign object inside food is a violation. Period.
I hope management reflects on this. Because this wasn’t just disappointing—it...
Read moreMy dad and I always go to the one near Miracle Mile, but I'm glad that they made this location because it is close to the University of Miami. I come to 107 Taste pretty often because it is one of the most authentic and best Asian restaurants in Miami. The food is for a good price, large portion, and high quality (fresh) whereas other Asian restaurants have the food overpriced and of low quality. Cristina is a very good waitress and I've seen her a couple of times to where she already knows my order and allergic restrictions; I don't need to tell her anymore. Her coworker, Tom, is also the same. The service is of very high quality and they are both super attentive and detailed. I'm glad that I'm a regular here and my dad is able to relax with his Sapporo beers after stressful OR shifts in the hospital. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking to have high quality food, good price, and relax...
Read moreA Hidden Gem in South Miami – 107 Taste ✨
I had the most wonderful experience at 107 Taste! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and beautifully taken care of by Karla and Cristina their energy, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference.
I ordered the chicken miso soup with tofu, and it was simply perfect comforting, flavorful, and nourishing. I’m usually not someone who craves dessert, but I decided to try the coconut cake, and WOW! It was absolutely spectacular light, not overly sweet, and full of delicate coconut flavor. A true delight!
I’m so grateful to have this gem in South Miami. The atmosphere, service, and food quality are top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family.
💫 If you’re looking for a place that blends warmth, amazing food, and great energy—107 Taste is a must-visit. Thank you for such a memorable experience....
