I regularly go to Bondi Sushi in South Beach and the service there is always outstanding. This Midtown location was the complete opposite and I will not be returning. We made a reservation and called ahead specifically for omakase. We arrived at 7 pm on a Saturday night, and were told there was no omakase because they did not have enough fish. For a restaurant known for omakase and designed around bar seating for that experience, that is unacceptable. It only got worse. I ordered a beer. It never arrived, and after waiting I was told they were out. I ordered edamame. They were out of that too. Thats 7pm!!!! Thats just the beginning of dinner service on a Saturday!!!!! And the restaurant had maybe 8 people total inside. The server, a girl with long dyed red hair, started off polite but quickly became dismissive. I clearly explained that I am allergic to spicy food and asked for anything spicy on the side. Dishes kept arriving spicy anyway. Because of this, I could barely eat. My nose became completely blocked and I even started speaking differently from the reaction. Food also kept coming out wrong and very slowly. Eventually we left hungry and went next door to eat because it was impossible to get consistent service or correct dishes. At the end, instead of apologizing, the server commented that we seemed to be having fun and were even talking funny. It felt mocking, disrespectful, and unprofessional, especially considering I was reacting to the spicy food I had specifically asked to avoid. Between the lack of basic inventory at the start of the night, the repeated incorrect orders, and the dismissive attitude, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had. This location does not reflect the standard of the South Beach restaurant. Zero stars if that were an option. read more

stopped in here for lunch with some co workers - we tried a couple of items on the menu and although everything was yummy, i do find it quite expensive for the portion size of some of the items like the hand rolls and the tacos for example. service was quick and extremely friendly though, i'll come back for a full sushi roll next time! read more

This place is great because of their amazing happy hour, especially considering their location. Hand rolls for only $5 and they are pretty tasty too! Their n/a drinks options are pretty good as well, my yuzu matcha was delicious. And the desert yuzu creme brulee was also decent. One thing, there isn't much room inside for big parties, they only had one table for a group of 4, so keep that in mind if you're planning to come with friends. Another thing, their HH is good but there's only alcoholic drinks on it, so if you want something n/a you actually have to pay more haha, weird. read more

Prob one of the best happy hours around with $5 beers $5 hand rolls every weekday from 3-7. The fish is pretty fresh especially if you go early in the week --I have been once while they were busy and felt the fish was off but out of the 100 times I've been there I've never had a bad experience. The chefs are soooo nice and really give you the perfect portions. It's an omakase style so it's small and intimate and it can get pricey after happy hour with some rolls at $30 but I think the HH, drinks, and the sushi pieces are worth it. read more

Great experience sitting at the bar and getting hand rolls. Love the deal that is 5 hand rolls for $40. Wagyu and toro were my favorites. Service was great & it's super nice & clean inside! read more

Stopped in here for a quick meal. The inside has a sleek, modern style that matched the experience well. I went with the five hand rolls for $40, which were all really good. My favorite was definitely the lobster. Sitting at the bar was a nice vibe, and I liked how the chef handed each hand roll to us directly. The server was friendly and attentive, and service overall was quick. I only tried the hand rolls, which were solid, and the cocktail I ordered was good but a little on the sweet side for my taste. Overall, a good neighborhood spot to check out. read more

I hate leaving negative reviews but this place did not meet expectations. Nigiri's and handrolls were fishy, service was mid, and the overall experience was just not it. Pretty disappointing to be honest :\ read more

Beautiful bar sushi spot in midtown. High quality sushi. I love the tuna crispy rice and the Wagyu hand roll. They are a must if you eat here. Edamame is always a must for me as well with my sushi. The service is phenomenal. They have a rewards program too. The interior decor is lovely as well. Highly recommend!! read more

Great sushi, especially if you like hand rolls. They have a great variety and all were good. The best hand roll was probably the spicy blue crab. The spicy tuna crispy rice was also delicious. The inside is all bar seating and they have a few tables outside. Service was good and they provided us with some excellent recommendations. read more

Loved trying this in Miami for happy hour even with several locations in NYC where I'm from! I wasn't aware the happy hour of $5 lobster hand rolls extended to salmon avocado, spicy crab, yellowtail, etc hand rolls too! As well as 6 piece crispy rice for $12, with cocktails priced at $8 and wine at $5. Very easy to overindulge here and I love it! The service is very fast and the staff is sweet and personable! It was easy to grab a table outside or at the bar around 6pm on a Thursday and I tried a bunch of things! My favorites were the lobster handroll, yellowtail crispy rice and my cocktail Seafoam was soooo pretty (and strong). Apparently there's lunch specials too! Will definitely be back as it's very close to the hotel I stay at in Miami. read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately this experience cannot go unnoticed. We truly did not enjoy it at all. We visited today around 7 pm at the 3409 NE location. It wasn't originally our plan to dine there, but the sunset was beautiful and we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the view. While looking at the menu, we noticed they had bao buns, which was exactly what we were craving at the moment. Unfortunately, they were no longer available. We understand that items can run out, but it was disappointing since it was one of the main reasons we decided to stay. After going back and forth with the menu, we ended up ordering the crispy rice with salmon, wagyu gyozas, and the miso black cod. When the food arrived, the portions were extremely small. The wagyu gyozas were okay in flavor, but still very small. The miso black cod was especially disappointing -- it came with no sides, just a very thin piece of fish and a small amount of sauce. The fish itself was overly salty and not enjoyable, and the sauce didn't help either. For a dish like that, you would at least expect a proper accompaniment. The crispy rice with salmon had almost no flavor. It honestly didn't taste like much and was not memorable at all -- especially considering the prices. This isn't our first time dining out. We've experienced many restaurants both in Miami and in our home country, and we understand that smaller portions can be acceptable when the quality justifies it. In this case, it did not. The service was fine -- our server was polite and attentive -- but overall, the food was very disappointing. We were three people, including a child, and the portions were so small that it wasn't even possible to share. Unfortunately, this is not a place we would return to. read more

I always order from Bondi on Uber Eats and it always comes fresh and nicely packaged in a box separated with all of the accoutrements for sushi. I love that they have the cauliflower rice option. And you have to try the Wagyu dumplings. read more

I ordered takeout, The bliss box was great although the hamachi jalapeño roll was not up to par with what ive had from other restaurants. the spicy tuna was tiny and disappointing not as good as Moshi Moshi in regards to the flavor of the tuna and crispiness of the rice, the Sea Scallop Nigiri was tiny as well which is understandable because it was $9 but it was delicious, what really did it for me though was the horrible wait time (40 minutes for pickup) and the fact that they don't give you any wasabi & ginger with your order, soy sauce is all you get I've never seen that done before and im hoping that's not the norm. Other than the 2 major red flags the sushi was good read more

Came here by myself for happy hour. The place was empty, which is fine, I got there at 5 o'clock. The hand rolls are all five dollars, which is a great price. I got the spicy blue crab hand roll, which was really delicious. The crispy rice is priced at $12 as opposed to the normal 18. I got the spicy tuna crispy rice and the salmon crispy rice. The tuna was paired with jalapeño and avocado, and it was a classic spic tuna crispy rice as you would expect. The salmon and crispy rice however, was not good. It was just crispy rice with a thin piece of salmon on top. Nothing thoughtful about it like the tuna crispy rice. The crab roll came out quickly but the crispy rice took a while considering I was the only person in the restaurant. I would definitely come back for the hand rolls- but wouldn't get the crispy rice again. read more

What a pleasant surprise. I have ordered from here before with uber eats, but never been in person. It was so good and happy experience. The staff is so friendly is a small place and they make you feel at home. The sushi was so fresh and yummy I eaten at the best Omakase restaurants and their fish was as fresh. The most amazing part fairly price. Also their yuzu crème brûlée you have got to have it. So light and the yuzu comes through perfectly. Will make this a weekly spot for a solo dinner be user is just that great. read more

The best sushi and the best server of all!!! Luis, divan and Victor Thank you for such a pleasant experience!!

Stopped in to quickly try their happy hour. They had $5 hand rolls and they were quick and amazing. I got the lobster, crab, spicy tuna, and the yellowtail. All were so fresh. I love that they make one at a time and serve you directly. It's my favorite way to eat sushi. They also had a $14 sake flight I plan to try next visit. The chef was so sweet checking in on my between rolls. A very tiny, intimate place great date night idea read more

Food at Bondi is THE BEST; fresh, & delicious. The cocktails are also great, and the beer on draft is yum! They have a great happy hour that can't be beat. I love the atmosphere as well. So why do they get 3 stars? The service is painfully slow & random. Everyone is nice, but they're just....soooo....slow.... My husband got his food before the kids, I got mine at the end. It's such a let down. I get it, the chef puts food out as it's being made, but maybe they could time it a little better. Not to mention you're waiting forever to get food in the first place. I want to come here more often, but you gotta decide if you have 90 mins for sushi or not.... read more

Sushi is soooo expensive in Midtown/Design Dist/Wynwood, you'd expect it to be great. Bondi is somewhat reasonably priced but not so great quality and limited menu. I ordered a Bliss Box but finished unblissed. The spicey tuna roll was mealy, the tuna and salmon sushi tasted and ate unfresh. Great shushi has a fresh firmness; not so much here. Not a fan, I'm afraid. read more

It's below average at best unfortunately. I got about 5 different rolls and they all tasted the same (varied only a little in flavor). If you want a quick take out or casual meal bellyfsh is x10 better. read more

I just ate at bondi sushi for the first time. I was so happy with the service, Marco was my server I came to try the lunch special and everything was exceptional! It was busy but everything still came out at a very timely manner and Marco was able to help me pick out some of his favorite dishes on the menu as well. I tried the tuna crispy rice as well as the yellow tail and the lobster yuzu handroll. All three were delicious and the price for these items along with the quality is what blew me away. They have great quality fish and the vibe of the restaurant is so cute and the perfect place to grab lunch with your girlfriends. It is family friendly as well and I will be coming back and asking for Marco! read more

Incredible! One of my favorite sushi spots in Miami. And Abraham was the best. So attentive and made THE BEST rolls.

Bondi Sushi - Omakase - Japanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

Upon entering, you're promptly greeted with music, a smile, and guided to bar-style seating. Our server was attentive and helpful. We ordered four dishes in total, and each one came out better than the last. We also had some sake--can't remember the name, but it was in a black can. Highly recommend it! Watching the sushi chef prepare your meal right in front of you adds a unique touch, and the freshness of the food is unquestioned! We left feeling pleasantly full, not overly stuffed or bloated from too much salt. The only drawback was the seating--at 5'3", my feet dangled and eventually fell asleep, making for an uncomfortable dining experience. I suggest raising the foot bar or switching your stools. That being said, I am very much looking forward to coming back! read more

Figure out the takeout service. You have a separate entrance for take-out so you're definitely looking to grow this business 12/8/24 your takeout hostess/cashier was overwhelmed. Forty min from ordering in person to walking out the door. People ordering after me received their orders first. Crab in the crab roll was not the freshest. No utensils for miso soups, seaweed salad or two bento boxes. Wtf Your hostess/cashier is not a multi-tasker. You hired incorrectly for the position. read more

This place never misses! I dropped in solo, and as always, Chefs Luis and Byron were killing it behind the bar. The Toro nigiri was buttery and perfect, and the spicy crab hand roll hit the spot. The vibes here are always on point, and Edzell took great care of me, making me feel right at home. I come to sit with Luis a lot and finally met Edzell today, so now I have two lovely faces to come see at Bondi! read more

Staff was amazing, the service was impeccable. I highly endorse this location due to the food and staff.
