I finally decided to splurge at Pubbelly Sushi, and I say "splurge" because it's definitely one of the pricier lunch options on Clematis. I honestly thought they didn't even have a lunch special! Their menu was displayed outside the restaurant to entice passersby, and boy, was I curious. So I decided to give it a try. When I walked in, the space immediately caught my attention. It's bright, vibrant, and beautifully decorated, with a fun, trendy atmosphere. I was greeted by one of the servers behind the bar area, Michelle, who was absolutely sweet--and had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen! She told me I could grab a seat anywhere, so I found a table. Once I was seated, another server brought me the menus: the regular menu, drink menu, and, to my surprise, a lunch menu! Apparently, Pubbelly Sushi does have lunch specials, and there are three different price options: $19, $22, and $25. Each combo includes miso soup, ginger salad, a drink, a protein, and a sushi roll. The price depends on which protein you choose. The drink options include Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, iced tea, lemonade, and strawberry lemonade. Since I had already decided to splurge, I went with the $25 combo and chose the small tuna poke and spicy tuna roll for my protein and sushi. Michelle started me off with a strawberry lemonade, and it was perfect for lunch--light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Next came the miso soup. Honestly, I've never had a bad bowl of miso soup. This one was piping hot, just the way I like it, with a few pieces of diced tofu and scallions. Then came the main event: small tuna poke, spicy tuna roll, ginger salad, and sauces. Michelle asked if I wanted any additional sauces and mentioned that she could bring me some eel sauce. I obliged and also asked for sriracha. Now, did I need all those sauces? Absolutely not. But did I use every single one? Absolutely! The tuna poke and sushi roll were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Chef Jorge did a wonderful job with my meal. He was even kind enough to come over to my table afterward and ask what I thought. I told him it was delicious--and I meant it! When Michelle brought me the bill, my total came to $31.12, and the 18% gratuity was already added to the amount. Was lunch pricey? Yes. But I really enjoyed the entire experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff--Michelle, Chef Jorge, and the other server whose name I didn't get--were all warm, welcoming, and hospitable. One thing I really appreciated was that the lunch special includes a drink. From my experience dining on Clematis, that's not something every restaurant includes with their lunch specials, so I thought that was a nice touch. Would I come back regularly for lunch? Probably not, because I'm on a budget. But would I dine there again? Absolutely! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and I left there STUFFED. Honestly, I had NO business eating all that food, but I enjoyed every bite! I understand that the prices reflect the location, and, well... inflation is inflating. So while Pubbelly Sushi may be a splurge for me, I definitely understand the pricing for the area. My Ratings Ambiance: Service: Food: Overall: 5/5! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself--and this splurge was worth it! read more

I visited based on the excellent reviews, but unfortunately my experience didn't live up to the 4.7-star rating. The restaurant is beautiful and well-designed, but the food and service didn't justify the premium prices. The sushi was decent, but basic rolls priced around $17-18 felt significantly overpriced for the quality. The biggest issue was service. I ordered a specific imported IPA from the menu but was served a completely different beer without being told or given the option to choose something else. I only discovered the mistake near the end of my meal, and I was still charged for it. My sushi also arrived without ginger or wasabi until I asked, and an 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill for a party of two, which felt inappropriate given the level of service. The restaurant has a lot of potential, but better attention to detail and more transparent service would go a long way. Based on this visit, I don't think the experience justified either the prices or the exceptionally high rating. read more

First time trying Pubbelly and it was excellent. Ali was our hostess and made sure we were well taken care of she was super sweet, and attentive. The sushi was delicious (I will be dreaming about that butter krab roll) The ambience was nice and the perfect place to take friends and family! Would recommend to anyone who's been wanting to go or try out! read more

First time at a Pubbelly and it's definitely competition for Kabuki since it is right across from each other. I did enjoy the dishes we selected but the crispy rice was a bit hard and chewy. My favorite was the salmon roll, melt in your mouth kind of good. I will have to come back to try their other rolls and menu items. read more

Was walking down Clematis around 6 on a Saturday evening when we saw this place and thought why not try it out. It wasn't too crowded, and we were seated right away. Our service was perfect. So attentive, friendly and fast. The vibe is really cool inside as well, inviting but modern lighting and decor. I honestly thought this place was just sushi, but our server explained it's Latin-Japanese fusion, which instantly got me excited. I started with a watermelon basil margarita from the bar, which was decent. We ordered the spicy chili edamame and kimchi fried rice to start-- both were addictingly good. The fried rice had pork belly and pineapple that added the perfect mix of citrusy sweetness and richness. Everything came out incredibly fast, too. Our sushi roll wasn't far behind; we tried the rockshrimp tempura, which, was fire. The filling had mango and citrus that gave it a little ceviche-style twist, and that creamy sauce on top? And that creamy sauce on top?? So good! I also loved that they have QR codes on the tables so you can pay for your own items right from your phone. Game changer for group dinners. Between the flavors, fast service, and fun atmosphere, I'd definitely love to try more of their fusion dishes. read more

My girlfriends and I go out once a month and we rotate who picks the place, and I saw that Pubbelly Sushi had recently opened on Clematis and seemed to have a great happy hour! So I suggested it and we came this past week! Upon arriving, the restaurant is very nicely decorated! The bathrooms were cool too (and clean!) We were greeted by our server, Eric, who took great care of us all evening! He gave us a rundown of the happy hour, which is as great as it looked! First, it's from 4-7 on weekdays, which is usually not typical (only until 6 most places), and all of their Pubbelly Rolls were $14!!! The happy hour also includes discounted drinks and apps! For starters, we ordered the spicy chili edamame and the blistered shishito peppers. I couldn't stop eating the shishito peppers - they were perfect! Then for dinner, Eric recommended the Acevichado Roll (normally $21) and all three of us each ordered one! It had to be one of my favorite sushi rolls I've ever had honestly! Wow! We also ordered the Kimchee Fried Rice to share and it was so so good. Perfectly cooked rice and egg! I would definitely come back! And I hope it's really soon! I'd love to try all their other rolls and apps! Thanks again, Eric, for being a great (and funny) server! :) (Sorry - I forgot to take pictures of the rice and shishito peppers - I was too wrapped up in how delicious everything was!) read more

I'm keeping in mind that this location just recently opened, but I was expecting a bit more. I've been to their South Beach spot and remember the atmosphere and food quality being better there. This dining room felt overly bright and quite loud; some dimmer lighting and better acoustics would really help. Service was good overall, but like others have noted, the automatic gratuity wasn't appreciated and takes away from the experience. Food-wise, a couple dishes missed the mark. The tomato salad appetizer wasn't enjoyable, especially with the large cube of tofu (at least I think it was tofu) that wasn't listed in the description. The wagyu beef tartare roll also had odd textures and flavors that didn't work well. On the positive side, we loved the butter crab roll and the sake aburi roll -- both were excellent. For dessert, we sampled the ice creams. The black sesame and coco & yuzu flavors were fantastic, but the dulce de leche with wasabi was a miss for us. If we go back, I'd like to try some items from the grill, since we may have just ordered the wrong things. Overall, there's definitely potential here, and I hope they make a few adjustments to elevate the experience. read more

Went for lunch right when they opened. Beautiful restaurant! Very spacious and pretty decor. The waitress was nice and friendly, gave us recommendations. We got the tuna pizza appetizer (good but not worth the price) and three rolls to share between 3 people (see photos). Fave to least fave: waygu beef roll, rockshrimp roll, then acebichado roll. All the food was yummy, but the prices are pretty high, with each item being $18+. If I were to go back, it would only be for a happy hour (most sushi places I go are also only for happy hour). read more

What a hidden gem! I found this restaurant just walking around the mall and decided to just go in. The place looks so cool and also offers patio seating. We came on the perfect day because on Mondays and Tuesdays every sushi roll is only $12. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable, he provided some great menu suggestions. We ordered a few appetizers and sushi rolls, everything was amazing. Even without the weekday specials the restaurant is pretty affordable. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items! read more

The ambience was very basic definitely not a good spot for a date night . The food was just OK. We had the tuna pizza which was very onion flavor. Then we had an eel roll which was very skimpy as you can see in the picture. The short rib wontons were the best thing that we had on the menu. The octopus was good as well definitely not good enough that we will be coming back. read more

A friend and I popped into Pubbelly for happy hour drinks and sushi. The restaurant is relatively new to Clematis and, in my opinion, a welcome addition. The happy hour menu is very reasonable and the cocktails are tasty. We got the spicy edamame which was tasty and not too spicy. It came in a massive portion that we couldn't finish. We got a couple rolls. I think the Achevichado roll was my favorite, but the salmon and tuna were good too. Our server was friendly and attentive. We got a visit from the GM (I think) too, and he made sure everything was taken care of. It's always nice to have service like that. read more

My husband and I made a reservation for Pubbelly for 4:30 because they are a relatively new restaurant. The reservation ended up not being necessary as the restaurant was empty when we got there. We were very impressed with the decor and artwork on the walls. We tried a good sample of the dishes served as well as 2 cocktails -a passion fruit mojito and old fashioned. Both drinks were delicious. As for the food, we ordered big eye tuna crispy rice and lobster and crab donuts, hamachi roll, tuna crispy miso nigiri and Korean wings. The hamachi roll was disappointing flavor wise, but everything else was good. The lobster and crab donuts were a big highlight. The prices are high- ex. the classic California roll is $14...Also, their nigiri selections are very limited. They do not offer regular nigiri, only 4 specialty options which were also $14 per 2 pieces. Although the food was pretty good, it definitely isn't a restaurant we will return to any time soon due to their prices, but it was nice to give it a try. read more

This restaurant recently opened up. Went in for happy hour. Happy hour is all through the restaurant. Everything had good flavor. There are some things they arre still working on due to just opening. The shishito peppers were good but it needed more char and less dressing. The pork bao buns were good. The fried rice needs to be more fried less soggy,it still had good flavor. The crab or lobster donuts were good and favor full. The drinks were great. Overall a decent experience with some room for improvement which is understandable being they just opened. read more

As someone who loves the Miami locations, I am posting this because I want this to do well. I was very excited this was coming to west Palm, but the experience disappointed me. The music vibe was off, like Caribbeanish, unsure, just not fitting for the restaurant. It also felt very rushed, and it was too bright. The butter crab roll is always amazing. I hope it gets better, hopefully it was just us going the first month because I love the Miami locations. The vibe was just overall too bright, off, and rushed. read more

This new place is really different, not what we expected at all. Michelle was our waitress and she was great. They charge a 20% service charge which we don't care for, but do give military discounts which is excellent. Prices are on the high side, and charging $1 for eel sauce is really unnecessary. Hopefully they will carry salads and veggie rolls eventually. read more

This place is the absolute worst. When it first opened, it was lines out the door, for about a week. The service is horrible, no one seems to care, when you complain they take it personally. Go right across the street to kabuki. They don't have the $20 rolls, and their happy hour is good, and their services outstanding. It's just a matter of time before this place goes pubbelly up. read more

Had a descent meal here a couple of nights ago. Came back and things were a bit busier, but not slammed. Was seated outside. Waited about 10 minutes but with no service.

Honestly we got there and it was empty and really quiet for downtown West Palm on a Thursday. Our waitress was sweet but honestly didn't see her much because you pay through a QR code with added gratuity of 20% with another tab to add extra on top of that. Ordered off the happy hour menu and the drink was okay but cute. Vegetables appetizers were the best part of the meal the edamame and the truffle corn. Sushi tasted pretty low quality. We were hoping for an experience but we were in and out in 30 minutes with drinks, apps, and dinner. Little bit overhyped... read more

Waitress was really sweet. The food here is good but It is extremely overpriced and they nickel and dime for everything. Wasabi and ginger cost extra which is crazy considering sushi restaurant. The bill gets an automatic 20% service fee added to it (before tip ) Just beware of the extra added costs read more

Wish we would have read the reviews first because they were spot on! The food was so gross that we couldn't even finish anything. We ordered five rolls and they gave us one packet of soy sauce, no ginger, and no wasabi so we couldn't even try to mask the awful flavors... read more

Overpriced food and not that tasty either. Super bright lights in the restaurant as if you're on stage. Would not recommend

Awful! Overpriced! Not worth a trip! Two of us are now sick tonight! Not to mention the bone I found in my sushi! Should have known better when we arrived and the restaurant was empty. read more

Went as a foursome on a slow Sunday night. Our waitress was lovely, but we had a gift for finding all the things they were out of. They had run out of Sapporo beer and the domestic cloudy sake. They offered the clear sake instead, but only by the glass (if you have enough to serve 4 people a glass, why is the bottle not available?). The espresso machine was broken, so no espresso martinis, and the grilled octopus had clearly escaped, lol. I did enjoy the food, it was similar cost to what's around. The salmon was pleasant and not fishy. The mixed drinks were good too. I was upset about the auto grat. When I asked the waitress about it, she said she only sees a tiny portion and that most of it goes to back of house. I tipped extra so she had more, but reading these reviews I'm starting to believe I was mislead. I may come back for the black sesame ice cream, but possibly not a whole meal. read more

We had a really disappointing experience at Pubbelly Sushi. We were seated and then completely ignored for about 20 minutes. Multiple servers walked right past us, made eye contact, and never once checked in, brought water, or even acknowledged us. We kept waiting, thinking someone would eventually come over, but no one ever did. At that point, it felt awkward and frustrating just sitting there with zero service, so we ended up getting up and walking out. A restaurant can have good food, but if the service is this bad, it ruins the whole experience. Definitely not what we expected, and we won't be coming back. read more

I ordered $125 of sushi and sashimi through UberEats. My order anrrived without any wasabi or ginger. I called and spoke to the manager who said I should have asked for it. Ridiculous. I have never had sushi anywhere where there wasn't wasabi and ginger on the plate. Have You?!! Do not eat there or order from them. read more

First time and absolutely Loved the Yakatori chicken. Our server Bartender CHEEKY was great! Her energy and smile was welcoming. She was Very attentive. My friends loved the sushi. I wasn't a fan of the bright LED lights for dinner. Maybe owners can dim tone for a better ambiance to not have cafeteria feel. Give it more cool sexy vibes at night. Will definitely go back to sit at the Sushi bar with Cheeky. She was the star of Pubbelly during our visit. read more

Been to the West Palm location a few times. While the food is good, its actually way overpriced for the portions. I spent almost $200 for my wife and daughter last night and we left feeling like we needed to go some snacks. But what bothered me tremendously was at the end of the service. I asked for the bill, the server came with it on the POS terminal, no paper receipt so I could review it. She stayed hovering over me while I read it, which was very uncomfortable. Secondly, I noticed they had already placed a 20% service fee, which I strongly oppose, a tip is at my discretion. On top of that the server told me that "by the way, the 20% service fee, I only get half of that so I would appreciate an additional tip", again, she stayed hovering over me. So, I needed to add another 10%. In essence, I paid 30% additional for my meal. Ridiculous, a scam if you ask me. I am NOT going back. I hate to be taken advantage of and there are so many options to eat in that same neighborhood. There are two Japanese restaurants in the same block that are just as good and have amazing food for about 50% less, when adding the forced tipping. I do not recommend this restaurant for their service charge practices. read more

My husband and I have dined here twice now and both times I left sick. All of the food is saturated with oil and greasy. The kani is very low grade imitation crab meat. It feels/taste like Applebees quality, but the price is triple. I HATE the QR scan check and the auto gratuity. Especially because both times, our server did not deserve the auto 22% tip and 22% is generous since 18-20% is typical for good/excellent service. read more

My friends and I (table of 3) went to Pubbelly a few weeks ago and might have gone with too high of an expectation. We have been to the one in Miami so we were very excited all summer for the opening of one in our backyard but it was not what we had hoped for. When we first sat down it took the waiter atleast 15 minutes to get us water and take our drink orders. We also ordered edamame to start. The edamame came out before our drinks so by the time we had finished our edamame we still had not seen the waiter again. Next we ended up asking another waiter to get our drinks and where our waiter was at to start ordering appetizers at the minimum. After about 40 minutes our drinks came out with our first round of food. The room was very very loud so we really couldn't hear each other but since the one in Miami has such good food we figured it was worth the wait. Aside from the short rib dumplings we were really let down by everything that came out including the service we were provided as well as the drinks were tough to even drink. We are hoping it's just due to the restaurant being newly opened but overall our first experience at this location was really a let down as a whole. read more

The service was awful. They automatically charged over 30% to our bill and when we asked our server she was super friendly and condescending and called my friend "honey" just for asking why it was so high. The sushi was also very unimpressive and forgettable. The ambiance was alright but nothing to visit again. read more

We got a couple rolls and an appetizer. the rolls came out ten minutes apart and then the appetizer ten minutes later. rolls were 90% imitation crab meat and $20. appetizer was a lobster and crab donut, but lowkey was sour/salty (also $20). Server was fine, we were only two people and didn't get drinks. They use a QR code on the table for the bill and i asked for a paper check. She then brought me a check w the QR code on it. It included an automatic 20% tip + asked me to put in another 15%-25% tip on top of that. I almost accidentally tipped twice bc it wasn't clear. Then we left and the hostess yelled out asking if we paid as we walked down the street. Wouldn't recc. read more

The amount of imitation krab used across this menu is scary . Dishes overlap and are far too similar; they lack flavor and personality; and come out way too quickly (we're talking 50 seconds from when you order). I'm sorry, but if you're charging $20-$30 for a roll, the ingredients must be top-tier. Food is a huge miss here. A severe overhaul needs to be done across the menu with an emphasis on quality. read more

The food! I gave five stars because of the chef, great job. Pubbelly Sushi, thank you!

Talk about profit margins. This place is incredibly expensive for what they are pushing out of their kitchen. Nothing really cost under 22 dollars, which is fine for an influencer suggested hot spot... what is not fine is the amount of fish they place alongside their supermarket sticky rice. Most of the items have "crab" and for the price nearing 30 dollars you would expect atleast a mixture of imitation and real crab. No. You are paying for low quality frozen imitation crab sticks. High way robbery. A waste. read more
