Dining at Café Sambal is a multi-sensory experience. Guests are treated to tranquility upon entering the outdoor venue, and ease into the softly lit modern seating while the colorful Miami skyline playfully reflects on Biscayne Bay.
Located in Brickell Key’s Mandarin Oriental, Café Sambal has been voted the “Best Asian Cuisine in Miami/South Florida” by the
Miami Herald. The menu boasts a fusion of expertly executed Japanese sushi and Chinese-influenced dishes. Standouts include the crunchy cashew chicken salad, the tamarind and garlic chicken lollipops, and Chinese duck trio with three different duck dishes. Complementing the cuisine are curated cocktails and an impressive selection of sake from the sake bar. Succulent cuisine and a breathtaking view make for a perfect pairing.
