You’ll get to enjoy Chef Choi’s inventive Korean flavors from Mŏkbar and Ms. Yoo, alongside Chef Cohen’s bold, Southeast Asian–inspired dishes from Pig & Khao and Piggyback NYC. Both chefs bring their signature flair and personality to the table, making every course fun, flavorful, and full of surprises.

This multi-course dinner celebrates creativity, culture, and connection—paired with the lively ambiance and ocean views that make Ocean Social one of Miami Beach’s most exciting dining destinations. You’ll leave inspired, full, and already planning your next visit.
