    5 star ratingOnce in a lifetime experience! My fiance "stumbled" upon this place as he was trying to book a fancy date night for us during our stay in Miami and WOW! What an incredibly lucky stumble that was! We had an absolute blast! Not only is the food innovative, delicious, outside the box, and something you will never be able to get anywhere else but the hospitality and energy of the place is OUT OF THIS WORLD! If you want an experience/night out that you won't stop talking about and sharing with others, I couldn't recommend this place more!

    May be worth mentioning that my fiance and I take quite some pride in being "foodies" we study up and have eating at some of the most unique, well known and highly rated/award winning establishments and this is one place that we will never forget and cannot wait to go back to!

    I have been in restaurants over the world and I am so thrilled that Frankie, Nicky and the crew chose to open in Miami. This place IS Miami. Funky, groovy environment with the absolutely most unique and fabulous take on Asian Fusion cuisine ever. It’s like going to a rad dinner party with 10 friends. 10 COOL friends!! Don’t miss it!!

The excellent food prepared by Chef Franco, those exquisite "shushis" unmatched for their preparation, the careful attention, and the perfect atmosphere of the restaurant made us have a perfect night. Many thanks to Chef Franco and his beautiful wife Nicky for giving us that special night. GABRIEL SANCHEZ

Every roll was delicious but if I had to choose the salmon one was one of my favorites. Sushi like I had never had. Nicole the host was fabulous; nice, funny and very attentive. Chef Frank is a spectacular cook. I highly recommend this eating experience to all. Reservations are a must.

It’s a diamond already. 100% satisfaction from this party. We were skeptical at first, but had such a great time. Food was amazing!

I travel the world and visit restaurants that are well known as well as small and unique... I search for restaurants that have food that surprises me .. great ingredients, unpretentious and welcoming vibe.. House of Food Porn delivers and exceeds on all fronts. No menu which is a treat .. Chef Frank was our guide to amazing flavors from exceptional ingredients perfectly paired delivering extreme yumminess..

    5 star ratingTreated like royalty at a private celebration Chef Frank and Nicky are an absolute dream team. Nicky, serves up the best service in Miami and Chef Frank's creations called "shushi" are divine. The food is just the right amount, the cost is appropriate, and the atmosphere/ambiance gives you the feeling of royalty. It was fun, and everyone in our party (12 PPL) told me later it was the best food, party, service that they can remember in a long time and most will come back. I told Chef Frank and Nicky that we would be back on an almost monthly basis because we enjoy them and their food so much. Definitely one of the best spots in Miami. I can't say enough with this review except to go there and experience it yourself, you will not be dissapointed.

  • 5 star ratingSimply WOW! We found House of Food Porn due to the restaurant having amazing rating and reviews on Tripadvisor. So we decided to give it a try during our stay in Miami. Just to state it clearly up front; this is one of the top 3 experiences I've ever had at a restaurant (and that does include several Michelin restaurants)!

    The restaurant has a maximum capacity of 14 people. We were two of a total of eight the night we visited. Even though we arrived separate from the other six people the restaurant is based on a social and cosy family home feel. So we ended up chatting a bit with the other guests as well. The restaurant itself is actually a family restaurant and the chemistry among the staff is great as a result of that!

    The food is creative and has an array of different great tastes. And to make it clear; this is not a sushi restaurant. It's "shushi" - meaning that (almost) everything is served in rolls like maki. However there is not a lot of raw fish in these rolls.

    Honestly it's kind of hard to describe the restaurant in a suiting way.... it's one of those things you just got to experience. It really differs a lot from anything else I've ever tried. We loved it! Next time we visit Miami we'll be back for sure!

    5 star ratingRemarkable Restaurant - you will love it ! It would be impossible to give this restaurant anything less than 5 stars. This is a memorable dining experience, unlike any other we've experienced after many years of traveling and eating at some great locations. You won't be disappointed if you choose to dine here.

    Chef Franco is a great communicator as well as a great chef. We enjoyed his stories as much as his "shu shi".

    Our hostess Nicky made us feel immediately welcome. We were only 7 altogether at the bar, and she was able to give each of us personal attention.

    The food is out of this world, and "guessing" what was in each "sushi" roll was a great game. Our palate was not as well educated as we thought it was ! Red wine (cabernet) was served all night - it was a good choice to go with the food. Our glasses of wine and of water were topped up constantly. You could not ask for better service.

    We are waiting for a special occasion so that we can return with some friends, and take over the place !

    5 star ratingSimply amazing!! This is one of the hidden treasures in Miami, honestly I have never eaten better. Hidden in Little Haiti, awesome chef Frank was absolutely amazing and so kind-hearted. He created the concept of the world in roll and all is creations we had the pleasure to taste were UNIQUE AND MOUTHWATERING. Well experienced and knows what he's doing, the food presentation was out of this world. Our favorite was the Cuban roll, followed by the Caribbean and the Turkey Blast. The environment is cozy and intimate, the outside is artsy and totally Wynwoodish. Parking is available in the backyard. Great prices,great dishes, we ordered a 6 course tasting including a bottle of wine and a delicious dessert. Our host Nicky was a total sweetheart and the service was personalized and on point. Thank you guys, we will be back!!!

    Simply put. This is one of the most unique restaurants I’ve ever been to, chef’s choice of rolls are unique and well crafted. His food is good.

    Just check it out.

    5 star ratingYummi!!! Wow, this place is a surprise. We stopped there for lunch, it is a hole in the wall in Little Haiti but we found A GEM. Chef Frank who runs this place is just an amazing person, his food was delicious and the service friendly, fast and personalized. His concept THE WORLD IN A ROLE is a pleasure for the palate. We are definitely hooked, as we tried several different rolls, eg the Caribbean, Brazilian,Cuban, German and the American roll. Each roll is filled with cooked items of international flavors. My favorite was the Cuban with porc, plantains and frijoles, my mom enjoyed the Shushirrito. All was homemade and tasted irresistibly well!!! How innovative to fill the German roll with little porc bites and mashed potato or the American one with little burger bites and sweet fries. Incredible what Chef Frank serves in his kitchen and you are entertained by watching him cooking live. For dessert we enjoyed rolls filled with guava paste, mini chocolate chip cookies and coconut rice. My next birthday will be catered by the HOUSE OF FOOD PORN! Thank you Frank and your team for making my mom's visit so unforgettable!!!

  • 5 star ratingOMG this place is amazingggggggg!!! We found the House of Food Porn accidentally in Little Haiti because we wanted to try something new. Being a foodie I was curious about the name, so I made a reservation for a private shushi (YES THIS IS THE NAME!) tasting. What a culinary dream adventure, my friends loved the unique concept of stuffing sushi rolls with cooked home made food of all countries in the world. We tried the German, French, Swedish, Caribbean, Vegan, Cuban roll and had mini chocolate lava cakes with vanilla ice cream for dessert, so so so super yummie!! Chef Frank made us feel welcome & home in his kitchen, it was a great experience and next time we will for sure order his catering for our anniversary!!!

    5 star ratingDate Night This was by far one of our best date nights. We had an amazing night. The friendly service made us feel like we were at an intimate dinner party. We felt like we were just enjoying dinner with family. The food was so delicious. I was skeptical since you're not given the opportunity to chose what you want to eat but that was the best part. Everything was delicious. My husband is a pescatarian and they were able to accommodate his dietary needs.
    I will say that the restaurant isn't in the best location but once you're inside the outside world is non existent.
    Frank & Nicky do an amazing job hosting their dinner party. We are definitely going back with friends.
    You also must make a reservation in advance.

We were met with Nicky who is an amazing hostess, who welcomes you with the most delicious wine and a little mason jar of spiced mix with wasabi. Shushi Chef Frank came out to say hello and gave us a warm welcome as well. He proceeded to prepare his rolls which were the cause of our taste buds exploding. The most unique twist to any roll anyone can possibly imagine. I highly recommend this experience with them because the ambience and food is perfect. Thank you guys for the great food and laugh!!

  • 5 star ratingAmazing. Amazing. Amazing! I consider myself a foodie and have traveled fairly far and wide taking in both local mom and pops to fine dining experiences all over the world. This place is a unique blend of a soft and warm home style experience with a blend of fine high end ingredients. The care taken by Nicky and Chef Frankie is as if you are family. Then he hits you fine and rare sourced ingredients, mixed with comfort food flavors and feelings...it's simply magnificent. The creative blends and unique pairings plays beautiful music on your palate, leaving you guessing what the other thing was that sung so well with a familiar flavor. These 8 courses were the single most unique and flavorful bites I've ever had in life. I put my money where my mouth is and made a second visit because I needed to share this experience with my wife. She's not a raw sushi eater so she thought she wouldn't enjoy it, but Shushi is a completely different thing all together. I enjoyed it just as much the second time as I did the first, and my wife was blown away. Cheers to an amazing experience.

    5 star ratingA unique, flavorful, enchanted experience! My husband invited me to the House of Food Porn for my birthday this year, and it was one of the most exciting and fun food experiences of my life!

    From the very moment we stepped into the House until we walked back to your car, we felt welcomed, appreciated, and very well taken care of. Nikki greeted us with a genuine smile, and made us feel comfortable right away. The table and room were decorated in honor of my birthday, and everything felt very personalized, as if the owners had known us together. We did not know what we walked into, but we knew we were in for a treat.

    As for food, the explosion of flavors rolled up into one "Shushi" were just unbelievable - our palate were highly stimulated and our stomachs were happy. The combination of flavors that Chef Frank concocted were honestly delectable. We also loved the way the food is carefully presented onto the plates, and that the Chef personally came out to talk to us about each and everyone of his presentations.

    Overall, this was an amazing experience. I will cherish always cherish these memories.

    Oh... and beware: wine flows freely in this House! Get ready to have fun.

    5 star ratingMeal of a lifetime! GO!!! The food and the people were just amazing. The wine and water never stops flowing. They are a family, but they make you feel as though you are also family. The intimacy was much needed after such a long time of being isolated these last few months. Meeting new people! Trying to guess what we were eating! It was all worth every dollar. I've never had such an incredible dining experience.

    My husband and I had the 6-course option. Others who dined with us had more (maybe the 8-course option?) but they trouble finishing it. I wanted to eat more, but it was probably best we didn't, lol! We left very full, but not miserable, with the 6-course option.

    5 star ratingOutstanding meal experience! An incredible, marvelous dinner experience. It almost makes me regret my previous five star ratings in Miami because this was head and shoulders above everything else.

    First, be clear this is "Shushi" not sushi. Everything was a cooked type of roll. No raw fish.

    Yet, the cuisine is a delicious fusion of cooked dishes, with a heavy Cuban influence, served in quasi-sushi type rolls. Ranging from lobster, shrimp, and langoustine to spicy smoked ahi, to a Wagyu beef finale, each was delicious.

    The atmosphere was worthy of the stellar food. It was like a few people sitting around a family table served by a master chef. The hostess, Nikki, was warm and fun and friendly. She kept the champagne and wine glasses full and kept everyone in conversation while the chef, Frank, was at work.

    Frank let everyone take a bite of each dish and offer guesses about what was in it before giving a full description. I and other guests managed to get a lot of ingredients correctly, but many were surprises.

    The total experience made this the best meal I have had in Miami. Every Yelp review is five stars for a good reason.

    I most highly recommend House of Food Porn. If you have to choose only one fine dining experience in Miami, this is it!

    5 star ratingGreat food, great energy One of our best nights ever in Miami. HOFP is an amazing gem tucked in a tough neighborhood - there’s a Checkers across the street, so it’s not exactly a hub for fine dining. But Chef Frank is an artist, his “shushi” is like nothing you’ve ever tasted, his wife Nicky is an awesome hostess, and you feel like you’re having an incredible meal at a friend’s home.

    I don’t want to give too much away because the less you know going in the more mind-blowing it is, but basically Frank turns all kinds of delicious meat and seafood and other super-high-quality ingredients into flavor-explosion rolls that look like sushi and taste like heaven. He visits the communal table after each roll to explain what you just ate - he lets you guess first, but I hardly got anything right. Doesn’t matter, it’s all delicious - and fun. There were Cuban-inspired rolls, Korean-inspired rolls, Kobe beef rolls, all kinds of crazy fusion. The perfect place for a special occasion.

    5 star ratingA fun culinary experience My husband and I went to House of Food Porn for an 8-course Valentine's Special. It was a very enjoyable experience. This was a feast to my eyes as well as my tummy. All the dishes were exquisite, and the special cocktails were delicious (my husband preferred the house wine, but I'm a cocktail kind of girl). The drink pairings were for courses#1, 3 and 5 but I was drinking pretty much all night with the free flowing house wine. The hostess (Nikki) was very welcoming. She greeted us with a huge smile and a long stem rose for me (since it was a Valentine's special). It was an intimate dining experience and I enjoyed conversations with other guests. My husband, who is normally not adventurous when it comes to food, was happy with all Chef Blanco's creations. It is a little pricey because the ingredients used were all top of the line, and there were only 10 seats in the house. So it is not a place I can personally go to every week, but I definitely will go back again with my friends.
