About
Ceviche DOZO sits on Hollywood Boulevard as one of South Florida's most distinctive and authentic Japanese-owned restaurants: a compact, chef-driven bistro run single-handedly by Japanese chef Harumi Mattiacci. Mattiacci worked as a professional chef in both Japan and London before setting her vision on bringing real Japanese food culture to Hollywood, Florida. The Miami Herald celebrated Ceviche DOZO specifically for Mattiacci's rarity — she is among very few Japanese women running their own restaurant in South Florida — and her insistence on 100% natural, fresh ingredients prepared with genuine Japanese technique. The menu fuses Japanese precision with ceviche formats, rice bowls, yakitori, okonomiyaki, and boba, producing dishes that defy easy categorization but consistently deliver authentic Japanese flavors. The restaurant reopened to considerable local excitement after a hiatus, with recent 2026 Instagram coverage confirming active operation.
