Master Critic Review
107 Taste Brickell
8.1
Chef Yu opened the original 107 Taste in 2016 on 107th Ave after earning her hospitality master's from FIU, expanding to this Brickell location with a pan-Asian menu spanning Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Chinese staples—all built on house-made sauces. The pad thai draws connoisseur-level praise, and the takoyaki and tonkotsu ramen deliver solid execution at neighborhood-friendly prices. Generous portions keep the value equation honest, though service can lag when the room fills and an 18% gratuity kicks in for groups. A practical everyday option that over-delivers on quality for its price bracket.

Takoyaki, Pad Thai, Korean Kimchi Ramen

Best For
Better for: Pan-Asian variety (ramen, pad thai, Japanese curry, takoyaki) rather than sushi-focused, affordable family meals, quick lunch
