    Neon Sign
    Danni A.

    Mandrake is a cool spot to check out. There's a cute phone by the front bar for the perfect insta picture. There's also a stripper pole next to it. The cute neon sign is where everyone eats. The performers are entertaining and full of energy. The music was good and the food was better. I had edamame and sushi. The presentation of the sushi was A1 in a cute boat.

    Heard nothing but great things so wanted to give it a try for my Anniversary dinner. walking in the place is really nice and within the theme but extremely dark inside. We sat down for 30 minutes until our server greeted us which turned out to be the hostess. She was really nice and did apologize for the wait, she had amazing recommendations. Heads up your voice will be done for from how loud the music it, but it's does come with a show. I started off with the Sake to Me which is a lychee drink and it was delicious, so I had to get another one lol. We ordered the Mandrake roll as an appetizer but came after we finished our dinner. The roll was wasn't I expected but it was extremely overrated, can definitely can get better at Blue ginger. I loved the skirt steak, it was cooked BEAUTIFULLY. You can see from the picture! The bill wasn't too bad but 22% tip is automatically included which is crazy. They don't have valet parking but a nearby parking garage which is two blocks away.

    Ambiance, service and experience is great. The food is not so much. Lots of sauces cover up the flavor profile of the dishes.

    Sushi was average

    They recently reopened after covid. Made reservations online, greeted at the front desk. First impression, BEAUTIFUL LAYOUT. Sexy and intimate vibe. My rating for the food Appetizer 3/5 Sushi 3/5 Cocktails 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 We came during the week so there wasn't a crowd. They are known for the lounge and hookah on the weekends. They also have private events and special guests. I hope they do well moving so forth! It's a beautiful spot. Will come back during the weekend!

    best shrimp appetizer - sooooo good
    Jocelyne P.

    I enjoyed the restaurant a lot! We decided on it last minute and the staff was very accommodating. We def got there after the shows but the DJ was great - beautiful people, our waiter and food runners were sweet too. The bar is busy and some drinks took a while but the food is phenomenal. We had the strip steak, shrimp fried rice and both were some of the best dishes i've had in a long time. Mandrake is def worth the visit!

    MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER!!!! It's decorations, food, and drinks were out of this world. The service was good. We went for my boyfriends birthday and the staff came singing with signs and sparklers which made it even more fun. The drinks were strong but mixed very well and the food was perfectly cooked (raw and cooked at the perfect temperature). The entertainment was fun to watch and honestly I was super surprised and not at all expected to enjoy it as much as I did. I recommend! There's also a bathroom attendant which I thought was a nice touch to the organization aspect of it. Music was fun and they also have hookah for those interested at an additional charge.

    Our receipt with the fake "New Years" fee

    This place is an absolute scam. We went here yesterday evening for NYE 2023 and prepaid $1000 for 5 people. The prepaid package stated that it included all taxes, service charges, and fees. We ordered a total of 8 cocktails, but were charged an outrageous $448.02 at the end of the night. This included a fake fee of $186 that was simply listed as "New Years" (we literally witnessed our waiter input this into the POS separately). He thought he could take advantage of my mother, who is a foreigner and could not understand the BS terms he spewed out. Mandrake is not an honest business. At the end of the day, it is the establishment's fault for not teaching their staff to treat customers with integrity. Whilst it may seem glamorous in the photos, this is a shady business that will try to take advantage of their guests. Do not even consider going here.

    Fried rice

    I loved the atmosphere here; the live entertainment was so nice! It's a very insta worthy place

    Love the vibe! The waiters were super attentive and welcoming. THE PLACE TO BE The food was devine!!!

    Overpriced, rude staff, extremely long waits but a fun ambiance with picture worthy decor. We had a fairly large group with a 10:30 pm reservation, however we weren't seated until 11:45 pm. We tried to order right away but the last meal did not arrive to the table until after 1 am. Probably a tactic to spend money at the bar. Several meat meals were not cooked to the desired temperature as discussed when ordered and staff tried to contest the complaints. Food was very average, not worth the wait or money.

    Crispy Rice Crab 3 pieces; small portion, about 2 bites per crispy rice.

    Does Mandrake offer happy hour?

    your best bet is to call because it depends which day you go

    How long of a dinner experience is this? Would it be more than 2 hours for a birthday dinner for 2 people?

    You can certainly be in, seated, & finished in a 2 hour window. Let your server know upon seating if you've a commitment after dinner and they will coordinate all your courses to finish at your desired time.

    Is it good for a birthday? Is there any music? That type of vibe?

    This is definitely a great location to celebrate a birthday. The decor is simply beautiful, the menu inclusive of all types of eclectic tastes, and there is music playing from the lounge upstairs that can be heard throughout the dining room. I… Read more

    Absolutely phenomenal meal from start to finish!…read more Service was great I ordered a Coke Zero and as soon as she opened the can she heard how flat it sounded and took it and brought me a new one right away. We ordered the crispy tuna rice, dynamite shrimp, truffle salmon roll, and beef noodles and every single dish delivered. The crispy tuna rice was perfectly crunchy on the outside with melt-in-your-mouth tuna on top, balanced beautifully with just the right amount of sauce. Easily one of the best bites of the night. The dynamite shrimp were addictive crispy, juicy, and coated in a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce that had just enough kick without overpowering the shrimp. A little hesitant at first being almost $30 but it was worth it! The truffle salmon roll was rich and buttery. The truffle flavor was subtle but elevated the salmon perfectly without being too heavy. Super fresh and beautifully presented. And the beef noodles were comforting and packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the beef was tender, and the sauce tied everything together with a deep, savory richness. On top of the amazing food, the presentation was gorgeous and the atmosphere was warm and stylish perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

The setting in Bal Harbour is beautiful, very polished but still relaxed. It's definitely the kind of place you go for a nice dinner where you want things to feel a little elevated without being stuffy. Service was solid overall--attentive and professional, though at times it felt a bit rushed, like they were trying to keep the pace moving more than letting you fully enjoy the experience. Food-wise, there's a lot to love. The sushi was fresh and well-executed, and some dishes really stood out with great flavor and presentation. That said, a couple of items felt a bit underwhelming compared to the price point--good, but not quite memorable. Portions also lean on the smaller side, so it can add up quickly. All in all, it's a great spot with a cool vibe and very good food. Not flawless, but definitely worth going--especially if you're in the area and want a stylish dinner with consistently good quality.

So good that we had to order a second roll. This is also the perfect opportunity to try some prime fish cuts, like otoro and chutoro. Ughhhh it melts in tour mouth. Octopus was also really great! Rainbow roll was also great. We also got the oyster mushroom skewer and the eggplant skewer. Eggplant skewer absolutely outshined the other one. Totally get the eggplant. Dessert was great! Matcha tres leches was a stunner. Mochi came with 4 flavors, banana, passion fruit, mango, and birthday cakes. Best was birthday cake and banana. Ralph was our server. Great presence. Down to earth. Seemed to be having a great time! Also this place qualified for the chase sapphire reserve $150 dining credit. And this place is absolutely worth raking up a bill!

The service was great -- friendly, fast, and patient with my very serious happy hour ordering strategy. Food-wise, there were some real winners. The tuna quality is excellent (like, "I might start pretending I'm a sushi expert" level). The BBQ skewers were delicious, and the run rice was amazing. I would happily order those again and again. Now... not everything was love at first bite. The fried mushrooms and the chicken skewer just didn't do it for me. Not terrible, just not something I'd fight my friends over. Drinks during happy hour are good, but a little on the sweet side -- I had to double check there was actually alcohol in there. The watermelon drink is probably the best one, but definitely ask for low sugar unless you want dessert in a glass. Overall, great spot for weekend happy hour, great ambiance, good sushi, and solid service. I'll definitely be back... mostly for the tuna and those BBQ skewers.
