MIA Market, the Design District food hall, may have gone through several name changes (it was formerly known as St. Roch Market and Politan Row), but one thing is certain: It has been home to some of Miami's best concepts — including Itamae, where Valerie Chang has received several James Beard nods for her work at the family-run Peruvian-Nikkei restaurant.
Jon Nguyen's Tran An also started out at the market, offering bánh mì sandwiches, pho, and spring rolls. But the chef, whose résumé includes a stint at Danny Meyer's restaurant at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, decided to open a standalone version of the Vietnamese street-food concept he named after his grandfather, in addition to the original Tran An, which remains at the food hall.
