About Chotto Matte Miami

Chotto Matte Miami opened on Lenox Avenue just off Lincoln Road in 2019 as the group's first U.S. location — the London flagship has been one of Soho's highest-volume dining rooms since 2013. The Miami space runs approximately 300 seats across a ground-floor dining room and a mezzanine sushi-robata bar.

The menu is Nikkei — the fusion of Japanese technique and Peruvian ingredients pioneered by the post-war Japanese community in Lima. Signatures include the salmon tiradito with yuzu-truffle, the black cod anticucho, sushi rolls with Peruvian aji, and a robata programme running through A5 wagyu, octopus, and rock shrimp. Dinners land $85-150 per person.

From 9pm a resident DJ overtakes the dining room soundtrack and the restaurant transitions toward a late-night energy that runs until midnight. For group dinners this arc is a feature — the evening compresses from substantive dining through shared small plates into open-format socialising without changing venue.

Best Occasion Fit

Chotto Matte carries a group birthday from cocktails through dancing in one room. The Nikkei shared-plate format, the 300-seat scale, and the DJ-driven later hours make it a dining room that absorbs a twelve-person table without flinching.
