Sunny’s Steakhouse

7357 NW Miami Ct, Miami, FL 33150

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

There are nights when you don't want to overthink dinner and just want a really good steak. 

If that night ever comes, a brisk walk to Sunny's Steakhouse is the answer.

A classic steakhouse at heart, but without the stiff ambiance that usually comes with the label, Sunny's is celebrated for its intimate courtyard setting, fire-cooked steaks, and top-tier cocktail program.

Here, you'll find a menu that revolves around well-sourced, premium meat cuts, confident cooking techniques, and a lineup of pasta dishes, appetizers, and desserts to go with your steak.

Yes, steaks are the obvious stars, especially the hanger steak, which regulars swear by, yet the supporting cast deserves attention, too, led by their wagyu carpaccio and steak tartare.

Oh, and one more thing — it's recommended by the Michelin Guide, which pretty much seals the deal, and your fate.

Ms. Cheezious

7956 NE 4th Ave, Miami, FL 33138

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Show your love for cheese like you mean it with a spread at Ms. Cheezious, a dining spot where cheese rules — and you drool — in the heart of Little River.

A food truck turned into one of Miami's most popular comfort food spots, Ms. Cheezious is fueled by the idea that grilled cheese can be both familiar and wildly creative — and it's been running towards success ever since. 

But don't worry; despite its name, not every dish at this hip brick-and-mortar revolves around melted cheese.

Over time, the menu has grown to include indulgent classics that still hit the same comforting notes and pair perfectly with their grilled cheese melts, led by fan favorites like the Grilled Blue & Bacon layered with crispy bacon and creamy blue cheese, the Frito Pie Melt stacked with house chili, American cheese, jalapeños, onions, and Fritos, and the Mackin' Melt, which folds gooey mac 'n' cheese and bacon into the mix.

And that's only the beginning.

Other standouts include the Crabby Cheese Melt made with real crab salad, the Goat Cheese & Prosciutto, and bolder options like the Southern Fried Chicken & Waffle Melt and the Short Rib Melt. 

Ms. Cheezious also covers your sides and add-ons, like classic mac 'n' cheese, chili cheese fries, buffalo chicken wings, burgers, salads, and hand-spun milkshakes, all wearing the playful personality this brand is known for.

Pastamarket

209 NE 82nd Terrace, Miami, FL 33138

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Feast on an array of pasta creations cooked to perfection at Pastamarket, your gateway to the secrets of traditional Italian pasta.

A brainchild of Maurizio, whose upbringing in Naples shaped his understanding of food, hospitality, and the role of the kitchen in everyday life, Pastamarket runs on consistency, care, and a respect for tradition, each element guiding how meals are prepared and served.

Handmade pasta defines the menu, with fresh noodles and sauces produced in-house and showcased through staples like Fettuccine Bolognese, Rigatoni Amatriciana, Paccheri Genovese, and Gnocchi Sorrentina. 

Pastamarket, despite name implications, offers non-pasta-related dishes, which include grilled octopus, eggplant parmigiana, salads, pizzas, and classic Italian desserts that complete the lineup.

True to its dual identity, Pastamarket is also a retail space, selling fresh pasta by the pound alongside cured meats, cheeses, and pantry essentials, giving guests the tools to cook with the same ingredients at home.

Ogawa Miami

7223 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33150

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery

Think of Ogawa Miami as a chef-led dining adventure — a culinary treasure hunt where you don't need a map, a menu, or a single decision.

This Michelin-recognized Japanese restaurant in Little River is built entirely around omakase, which means the chef controls the pacing, courses, and the story of the meal from start to finish.
So, instead of choosing from a menu, you sit back and let the kitchen guide you through the best meals of the day, which change daily, by the way.

To give you an idea, though, the dining experience unfolds with a carefully sequenced progression of nigiri, sashimi, and composed hot dishes, all centered on pristine seafood and seasonal ingredients. 

At Ogawa, each course is thoughtful and restrained, with an emphasis on technique, texture, and balance.

And to complement the food, Ogawa offers a well-curated selection of sake, wine, and Japanese whisky — and yes, this time, you decide what to drink.

Indeed, you can say that Ogawa is a unique culinary moment — one that revolves around trust, timing, and letting a skilled chef take you somewhere memorable without leaving your seat, one course at a time.
