House of Food Porn

Excellent ShuShi, great atmosphere If you are open to new tastes, love delicious (and unique) food bites, are curios to get to know the chef and all these in a cosy, home - like atmosphere with just a couple of interesting people around you, then this is the place for you.

I celebrated my birthday with them and every moment exceeded all my expectations. They make you feel like everything is created specially for you only (and partially it is :))

Thank you Nicky and Frankie for the great night and the delicious ShuShi!

Our future Florida trips will always include a stop at The House of Food Porn

Um dos melhores restaurantes pra comer “shushi” Obrigado Chef Frank pelos ótimos “shushis” e bom atendimento. Super recomendo! Lugar simples mas muito aconchegante.

Shushi . No I didn’t spell it wrong . It’s a beautiful thing Very creative and personal chef and wife create a dining experience that is entertains and fun . If you are adventurous this is the place for you and if your not adventurous now is the time to give it a go !

Delicious and unique experience What an amazing experience! The food was creative, delicious, and satisfying! The experience was intimate, professional, and sexy. I just moved to Miami and came here tonight for my birthday dinner and I am hoping to come back again this weekend when my friends are in town! Thank you so much for everything!

Don’t judge a book by its cover, if you are a foodie, go here!!! Do not judge the outside, inside you will find a hidden gem for a food experience out of this world!!! Run by a creative couple, who make you feel home from the moment you step through the door. Chef Franco’s creations are incredible and we only want Shushi from now on. Do not drive, their delicious red house wine is flowing freely and we had surprise cocktails which were great. We will be back soon, thank you Chef and Nicky, we had a blast!!!

AMAZING-MUST TRY!!!!! I got this experience for my sister for her birthday because she loves sushi. However, what we got was so much more. Not only were the was the chef and hostess the most amazing and kind people, but the ambience and food were amazing. The table was decorated in celebration and we had such an amazing time. We talked to the other guests, our cups were always full and we had a blast trying to guess what food was in the rolls. It was truly a unique experience and my sister and I had such an amazing time. Thank you so much for helping my my sister's birthday trip to Miami so memorable. If we find our way back to Miami we are definitely coming back!

Date night Amazing, one of a kind culinary experience. Chef Franco and Nicky make you feel like you are in their home while being served delicious, creative food.

Most memorable experience of a lifetime Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Nicole and Chef. They squeezed a reservation in for me and made it exceptionally special. They elevated my boyfriend and I's experience to a level I didn't think was possible in a contemporary restaurant. We were greeted with such positive energy, I knew I had come to the right place. They made our experience so personal I can't believe there aren't more place like this. I'm so happy I cam look back on this as one of the most memorable times of my life and I cannot wait to return! Thank you Chef and Nicole for your hospitality and allowing us to experience your version of shushi!

One of the best food experiences The food was unique and amazing! My wife and I came for our anniversary and they customized certain items for each group and we were greeted immediately by our names when entering the restaurant. They obtained information ahead of time to make the experience one of kind. I want to thank Chef Blanco and his fantastic staff for a memorable experience.

Best anniversary dinner ever I hope I can Make this review as special as they made the experience for us.
First, made my reservation online for our 1 year anniversary. They have a comment section that they ask you to describe the occasion and other things about yourself, which they remember ! That’s always a great thing to do as a business. Upon entering, we weren’t sure where to park (behind not on the side). There’s a doorbell, you ring and they welcome you like a Cuban family party, open arms, hugs/handshakes and all. You’ll be surprised walking in at the beautiful yet simple decor with a 1500 piece chandelier put together by Nicky herself. She welcomes you and sits you at your pre assigned seats. It feels like a bar but decorated with rose petals, name tags, “feliz anniversario” (happy anniversary) and cute mason jars and chocolates. They put chickpeas and wasabi for snacks while they serve you wine and infused water. Nicky explains where she’s from and how the chocolates come from her amazing country of Germany. Nicky is a great hostess, your glass is never empty! You may have more than a bottle so please be sure to drink at your pace or have an uber ready
Next, Frankie explains to you the restaurant and prepares the 6- course meal. I’d have to say each and every dish was delicious and had amazing flavors that’ll bring out all your happiest taste buds. From rolls filled with lamb and fillet minion to rolls filled with every fish in the sea, you will not complain. It’s a true foodies adventure land. The smallest downside besides being in the “ghetto”, is if you’re not a drinker, you may find the price to be a little out of budget. The food is worth It regardless, if i did This again, id do an 8-course meal or have them cater a party! I love The concept and will be coming again!

Ignore the location, the experience is worth it!! My husband and I enjoyed our second anniversary celebration dinner at HOFP. We booked the eight course experience. The reviews helped in the decision making on the place. Our dinner experience was set for 8:30, and we were joined by a family of three (no kiddos). Nikki, greeted us after we rang the door bell. Her words resonated through the night, "Welcome to our living room". It truly felt like a friends' gathering at someone's living room. Nikkie hosted the evening. She had set decorations and name tags at our bar style table. An embraided paper heart and truffle chocolate bag for our anniversary, and a birthday balloon for the family who was part of the dinner experience. Nikki served us infused water, and three different alcoholic beverages including a full bottle of dry, red wine (already in a decanter). Chef Franco introduced himself and the concept of the place. You were invited to 'feel at home', to take photos while Chef assembled the rolls in front of you, or simply to chat with him, or any of the people making part of the dinner. The food was tasty. Chef explained each roll after we tasted them. Our last course was a cake with ice cream, homemade as well. All in all, we met a great family, and two hosts who have a passion for what they do. Location is important, but do not judge the book by its cover. What makes the place is the people, and in this case: well made!! I invite you to try them out, and enjoy an intimate, meaningful dinner like we did.

Just a really good time A must stop for a culinary adventure. The wine flows, the food is surprising, fun, and delicious. Went for the Miss' birthday and she was treated like a queen. Honestly top notch across the board. We loved it. Thank you

The epitomy of fabulosity Truly have i never been to a restaurant such as this before.

It begin with driving up to see that warm inviting entrance on a rainy night and being welcomed by the ultra friendly Nikki our hostess for the evening. You get the feeling you are invited to someones home with no detail to small. The venue is small with an interesting kitch decor. Always finding something interesting to look at but yet you feel very select and special as you see your individual name cards and seats. A small crowd so hopefully you get to meet new and interesting people and we did.
Each course was a bite or two of savoury deliciousness with umami and spice explosions throughout. Each plate a small work of art. The conversation from chef and nikki most engaging as they try to keep you guessing the food you are eating. The excellent wine was free flowing punctuated with two interesting cocktails. You get snacks to consume and treats on the tables in between courses, culminating in our case with a dessert of choclatey goodness. Its definitely a passion for these people and i have never felt so welcome and so engaged at an eating establishment before. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone reading this review. A memory to last a very long long time.

We had the best time eating here. What a unique concept that you cannot find anywhere in Miami! We truly loved being wined and dined without a worry of a menu. We felt like we were in chef francos home and Niki was an amazing hostess. 100% recommend this to anyone that is not scared of an adventure! Can't wait to go back!

Excellent Dining Experience One of the most pleasant dining experiences I've ever had. I'm so thankful to Franco for exceeding all expectations on our taste buds, I expected some great sushi after seeing some pics other people had posted what I didnt expect was for SHUSHI to blow us all away the way it did ! Thankful to Nicky for being so easy to work with through email on coordinating my wife's surprise birthday party and to Luisa who stepped in for Nicky on our night and made sure we were all taken care of I dont ever remember seeing my wine glass less than full ever. For anyone reading this and trying to make a decision on whether they should go or not don't hesitate it just prolongs you from an excellent dining experience.

Birthday It was an unbelievable experience from the moment we walked in through this magic door of the House of Food Porn
I can’t express my feelings about it, we remained speechless from the beginning to the end
I can only say that I wish everyone can try this at least once in their lifetime, because it’s worth every moment of your time and it is priceless.
Just wanted to say thank you very much to an amazing and very creative chef Franco
and the best and welcoming and also super creative party host Nicky( Best Drinks-and Presentation)
All of you have really made our night very special with yummy food and drinks!!!!
Can’t stop talking about it and can’t wait to come back for delish shushi experience again soon!!!!

My best dining experience! This is the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had! What an amazing experience! I can’t think of a better culinary evening. The food, the individualized care and attention, the showmanship and the intimacy were unique. There are no places like this out there. I would fly back to Miami just to dine here again. The rolls were authentic and the combination of flavors was simply genius. I loved the setup, it’s like being in a classy dream. The Chef’s storytelling and engagement as he described how he carefully designed each roll just for me was truly amazing. Nicky, on the other hand, diligently made sure nothing was amiss managing the whole experience while the artist created his masterpieces. I told my boyfriend that this was the best NYE dinner I’ve ever had; a truly beautiful unforgettable evening, filled with warm deliciousness and awesomeness. I know I won’t be able to fully express how I felt and still feel from this experience, but I’ll simply say that I felt touched, moved... it made me feel loved and very special.

The International Experience There are a lot of places to eat and you can find good food almost anywhere you are willing to spend the money. What's different and what I seek, which I found in the House of Food Porn is the dining experience that combines customized, creative and out of the box dishes inspired by the costumer and created through the international implementation process of a true artist, Chef Frank Blanco. Whenever I come to MIami I make sure to treat myself and any friends along for the trip to the gastronomic magical adventure of eating at the House of Food Porn. I also have always found it very affordable. Only one life, embrace the pleasures that money can buy!

World class service and food World class service and food! Nicky and Frank make this experience memorable. Do not be scared by the exterior!

Birthday Shushi in Miami As all of the other reviewers mention, Nikki and Frank (and the sous chef) were an outstanding hosting team. I really enjoyed the unique culinary experience and would certainly recommend to others looking for an alternative to the great restaurants in Miami. I enjoyed the story of how ‘shushi’ was born and it was fun to guess the ingredients used in each roll. The shushi rolls were good, but heavy and it left me hoping for one lighter course with actual sushi grade raw fish, rather than the cooked meats and fish that he uses. Other than that, it was the perfect (and likely most memorable) dining experience during my Miami birthday wknd trip.

MIAMI'S FAVORITE PLACE TO CELEBRATE ANY OCCASION!! Have been there many times and it's always an unforgettable experience!
The service from start to end is simply magnificent, and the food to die for ...
Nicky take the time to welcome the guests and makes them feel like home.
Chef Frank is a great guy that loves what he does and it shows in the quality and taste of his food.
My last visit was very special because I am no longer vegetarian and I was very excited to try all specialties of chef Frank not only the meatless version of it.
I've tried numerous fabulous rolls but my favorite one was the one filled with tender smoked black angus beef, capers and truffle topped with beluga caviar.
The food was so flavorful. The presentation was beautiful and every bite was like heaven. Nicky was amazing she was so engaging and attentive! She made sure we had everything we need.
For dessert we had Chef Frank's signature FRANKATORTA with homemade guava marmalade and mentecado which tested PHENOMENAL!
If you want great food, service, vibe, and ambience this is the place for you!
Everything is clean and safe. They make you want to come back again and again. This is our favorite place to celebrate any occasion.
THANK YOU House of Food Porn for culinary adventure around the world. My taste buds tasted the #foodporn. We can't wait to come back!

Loved this place !!!! Loved this place, best food and service, highly recommended... from beginning to end , great experience

amazing experience love it! the food is delicious and the restaurant is beautiful ! had a wonderful time can’t wait to go back

Absolutely amazing private dining experience!!! We have been to the House of Food Porn for the first time and it was incredible. It was a special day coming up for us, we wanted to celebrate our first baby son's birthday and planned a romantic candlelight dinner. Chef created an 8-course dining experience including dessert, which was pure foodgasm. His creativity has no limits, he combines flavors that are deliciously crafted in rolls, including their phenomenal red house wine and a little personal present and a complimentary champagne cocktail! Should you ever consider to have a foodie dinner in a cozy and intimate atmosphere, do not miss out on the opportunity to dine at the House of Food Porn. Neglect the outside, it is in a developing area, the inside is beautiful. Thank you for making this occasion so special and memorable for us, we will see you soon again, when this is over, hopefully very soon, we can't wait for more ShuShi. Yes Shushi, not Sushi!!!

Little Haiti’s Culinary Gem! Topnotch!

Usually I do not write reviews, but this place is just different! Open for private reservations only -so make sure to plan ahead- Chef Frank created an Omikase-style 6 course tasting for us, which left us stunned. We even had a bottle of wine and dessert included in our menu. The concept of putting all different flavors of the world in a roll is unique and we enjoyed it very much! Especially the Peruvian ceviche roll and the Turkey blast were our favorites but ALL OF THEM were mouthwatering delicious. For dessert we had baked breadpudding with molten guava core and Belgian choc chips, yummie!!! We loved being taken care of so well in a personal atmosphere with a chef cooking directly in front of us, cool concept, we'll be back!!!

A must experience Our second visit was as amazing as our first. The House of Food Porn is an incredibly unique experience with amazing food and service. Chef Franco prepares fusions of familiar and unfamiliar tastes into delicious bites of food that leaves you guessing the flavors. The Chefs wife, Nicky, makes you feel as if your family coming for a visit, not just a diner. The wine glasses never get below a few sips before they are filled. This place is an absolute must visit restaurant in South Florida.

Unique Dining Experience Hidden away in Little Haiti is one of the best dining experiences in Miami. The House of Food Porn is a must for adventurous foodies. As other reviewers have noted its not just about the food which is phenomenal, its about the experience. 12 people seated around a U shaped bar, handcrafted by Chef Frank, and hosted by his partner, the charming Nicky the evening is filled with conversation, laughter and excellent food. The unique Shushi prepared by Chef Frank is a must try. The wine flows freely and the courses keep coming with Chef Frank quizzing the diners about what they are eating as well as the method of preparation.We were 2 couples who thoroughly enjoyed our evening and spent the entire ride home talking about it. Don't pass it up.

Fabulous 50th birthday celebration! Every aspect of this experience was wonderful. From the moment we entered the building, we were treated like guests at their home-not as customers at a restaurant. The food and cocktails were superb. The vastly unique flavor blends that the chef is able to achieve is incredible. Hearing his story and the way he describes building each roll was enthralling. Highly recommend!!

Step into a world far from the everyday! To step into Miami's HOUSE OF FOOD PORN is to step into a different world, far from the everyday! We were greeted by a vivacious host who disarmed our initial sense of dislocation with her ethereal charm. The setting is small and designed to encourage interaction with your fellow diners - we instantly knew we would be on an adventure with a group of strangers who would become our friends for the evening. The food is ingeniously conceptualized and full of exotic flavors - best of all is that each course comes with a story. This is not just dinner; this is a voyage. Don't question the prices or the approach to booking, both of which are somewhat unconventional - you'll be thanking yourself that you stepped out of your comfort zone and tried something new and clever.

Love everything about this place creations by chef Frank Blanco are definitely unique and delicious can't wait to enjoy sushi tasting nights

BEST Birthday EVER! A group of our closest friends went to House of Food Porn for my birthday celebration last night and one word comes to mind, “EXTRAORDINARY!” Yes...from the decor, the ambience, the gorgeous hostess, Nicky, the extremely talented Chef Franco Antonio, and the SHUSHI!!! Omgggg what a food lover’s adventure this was! Even the pickiest eaters loved everything! I cannot rave enough about what an incredible restaurant this is. I will never forget my 46th birthday!! Thank you Chef Franco and Nicky! You are just filled with great vibes and so much fun to be with. Truly a MUST for anyone who hasn’t been here. Worth every penny and then some! Love you guys!

You would NEVER expect to find this little gem based on the exterior...this is a really great, unique experience - highly recommend it for a celebration!

Thank you for the interesting conversations, wonderful food and amazing experience!! We Cant wait to come back! From all of us! We thank you! James, Nicky, and Carrie! <3

Stimulates all senses!! The atmosphere is lovely,upbeat yet intimate. The Chef, Host and Assistant are so personable and welcoming.They pay attention to the smallest of details. The food is beyond expectations. The fusion of flavors takes you on an eclectic journey of comfort, adventure and mystery. A unique dining experience like no other!

Husband's birthday dinner This place is amazing!!! The food is top quality, very creative in presentation and outstanding in taste. The ambience is cozy and inviting, great for special celebrations. Chef Franco and Nicky are also amazing. They make you feel at home while providing the best quality service possible. I would highly recommend anyone to visit!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Thank you Chef Franco and Nicky for a special and unique night!!!

What an AMAZING experience!!!!!! Chef Franco, his partner Nicki, and their staff did an AMAZING job of making this night a wonderful memory. Franco's passion for food comes through clearly. Nicki's attention to details as the host are phenomenal. This is a must do in Miami for FOODIES.

Super intimate yet such a fun experience Chef Frank is absolutely Incredible and has built an amazing institution. We did the cooking class experience and it was the most fun yet super tasty night. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially couples or small groups - and would absolutely come back! And don’t forget the ever flowing drinks, so bring your appetites, your liver and your sense of humor

Amazing dining experience This was truly a one of a kind dining experience. It was worth every penny!!!! The owners made us feel like family. I'm a very detail oriented person and they went above and beyond. I don't want to give too much away, you just have to go. We will DEFINITELY be back

A Restaurant "Experience" Every Foodie In SoFla Should Visit If you're a foodie in South Florida, this is an absolute gem. My wife took me here for my birthday and we enjoyed the 8 course tasting. There is no menu. You eat the chef's creations.

Nikki and her team took great care of us from the moment we arrived at the velvet rope-lined entrance. The made sure our glasses were never short of water or wine.

The chef explains the meal and allowed us to taste each presentation to try and see if we could figure out what we were eating. Brilliantly presented both on the plate and the celebration of ingredients.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who truly enjoys food. We'll absolutely be back.

Amazing experience What an unique experience, something completely different, out of the box, amazing vibe, superb food where your palate sings and you want to get more and more to try because each meal is a surprise.
It's not a classic sushi because it's not raw but how chef Franco combines ingredients to come to that perfect taste is out of this world. And Nicky's drinks...omg 😍
Frank's and Nickys personatilies are just one more very important peace of the puzzle because it's not easy to find such a warmhearted, open, smart and well traveled people everywhere which are using their hospitality and knowledge combined with hard work to make feel each of their client special and relaxed at the same time.
Can't wait to go back ♥️

Best Food Experience in Miami 👍🏻🤗👍🏻 My daughter found this amazing restaurant on our most recent visit and the only way to describe it is absolute heaven. What an experience . The moment you walk in you are greeted by the beautifully stunning Nicki her fabulous personality and warmth only ad to the incredible ambiance. The food is amazing my daughter is a vegetarian and her food was to die for. Mine was so delicious I actually think about it at least 3 times a week after being back home in California. This will always be a stop every time we are in Miami. Thank you Chef and Nicki and your wonderful assistant I wish I could remember her name. Oh and the wine is amazing. If your in Miami this is a must don’t worry about the neighborhood they keep the door locked

Dining like a Celebrity This will definitely go down as one of my most memorable dining experiences ever. The host Nikki treats you as if you are a rockstar from the minute you walk through the door, catering to your every need. Chef Franco prepares every dish to perfection and it is so refreshing to see so much love and passion put into the food and the dining experience. You cannot help but be enthusiastic about every delectable bite. In addition there was no judgement when I found myself head first licking my entire guava and chocolate dessert plate. Highly recommended for any reason, like a birthday or anniversary.... or for no reason at all. They also do catering and I am still hopeful for the day Chef will bottle some of these sauces of his along with Nikki's Jamaican Me Crazy drink! Five stars does not do this place justice.

The best fresh ceviche in Miami Frank Blanco is one of the best chefs in Miami
...his creativity goes beyond this planet. His delicious sushi creations makes your taste buds come alive...being in Little Haiti...it.s the star of the Magic Citycarlos

Dinner with my son. This is the most unique dinning experience ever. Preparation, presentation, interaction and food quality is top notch. Chef Franco and Nicky are two incredible and dedicated individuals. On our “to do” list in a few months again. Joel & Ian - Tampa
