Been coming here for 20 plus years. The food is always consistent and amazing. The best ginger sauce on your salad that you can ever get. I had the chicken katsu with soup and salad, a side of beef negimaki and it was all amazing. read more

Sushi Republic - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

Hands down the best sushi in Miami Beach! Whenever we are go there they are always busy and their to go orders are also busy as well. Sushi is always fresh and delicious! Russ the sushi chef/manager is very knowledgeable, and mastered the skills of making great sushi. He is always welcoming and is genuinely good-natured person and keeps everything running smoothly even when they are busy. The staff are very friendly, helpful and courteous! We enjoy coming there and highly recommend!!! read more

This review is LONG over due!! I'll begin by saying the crew here are all very very nice. You immediately feel the welcome as you walk in. It doesn't matter the time. I've been here during the day and in the evening. Everything is yummy and it's not overpriced. Considering they are in the Surfside/Bal Harbour area it's a great catch! I adore their crispy tuna, it brings 4 pieces. Gyoza and any roll you choose you'll be happy with. I was so excited to eat my yummies, I completely forgot to take a picture, lol!!! Something has to be said about a business that has been around for 25+ years. Casual, comfortable and clean. Stop by you won't regret it! read more

Sushi Republic - Steamed and fried Gyoza, with sushi. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

If you are looking for quality food in a laid back environment, Sushi Republic is the place for you! I have been coming here for a few years now. I try other sushi places now and then but I keep coming back to Sushi Republic!! The main reason of course is the food! From the rolls to the poke bowl to even the hot dishes, Sushi Republic does not disappoint. In terms of service and ambiance, what I like about Sushi Republic is that it does not try to be a fancy upscale place even though it's located in Bal Harbor area. It is an everyday local neighborhood spot with delicious food. It feels like home! The service is always good. Some days slower than others but never too long. The wait staff is very attentive and kind. My favorite dishes are crispy rice, shown here in picture! This is an appetizer that can be shared but it's so good, I never do!! I also like their poke bowl. It has such a variety of ingredients that compliment which ever fish you choose! For hot dishes, the chicken katsu is so good as well as the chicken fried rice. There's really nothing bad here. Remember if you are looking for laid back casual dining with tasty food, this is the place for you!! read more

This is a good sushi spot, but please don't order the beef scallion appetizer. First time I saw this one on the menu at a Japanese restaurant so decided to try it and omg I hated it haha, but it's not their fault, overall no frills sushi spot. read more

The seaweed salad was normal. The spinach was interesting. The miso was meh. I honestly didn't really prefer the crispy bok choy, but if you like crispy leaves you should try it. We liked the veggie roll. They only had two types of vegetarian sushi, kappa & veggie. I wouldn't come back just because I feel like I'd like a little more flair or spice on a night out. read more

Service and food were both amazing! Really artsy vibe and cute wall art! Age Tofu is my favorite

Friendly staff and host. Fresh food made to order sushi. Well known and established location with numerous options to select from. If they have it in stock try the oyster shot read more

Great little hole in the wall style restaurant. They have a lot of stuff on the menu that you won't find anywhere else, and Chef Yuki is an artist. I look forward to visiting again soon! Update October 2018: Yuki is indeed an artist! Was able to catch him there and holy smokes do I miss when he was closer to home! We always order Omakase and he did not disappoint. Everything was fantastic and while the sake selection is not extensive, what they do have available is fantastic and not overly priced. read more

Sushi Republic - Just feeling artist tonight ;);) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

We visited this restaurant on the evening before our vacation ended. It was a cute, little restaurant. Initially, I was concerned that it took awhile to be acknowledged for seating. The restaurant was busy and the seating appeared to be filled to capacity just from a cursory glance of the restaurant. Finally, we noticed two empty seats at the bar, which were the only available seats. Since we were not acknowledged, we eventually asked if we could take a seat at the bar. The waitress then assisted us. She seated us at the bar and then brought over some menus. She took our beverage order and returned pretty quickly with our water. By that time, we already knew what we wanted to order. I ordered the California roll, miso soup and spring roll. We also had shrimp tempura and shrimp fried rice. The California roll, miso soup, and spring roll were pretty typical taste wise, but the shrimp tempura roll had a different element than any that I have tasted and I have ordered it from a number of restaurants. I got the impression that this is a restaurant that caters to locals because I think our presence was not normal. The service was good, but I still felt a little uneasy in the area. I definitely think I should stick to what I am used to and stay in the South Beach area next time. The overall area was just a little unwelcoming. Though I was a visitor, I constantly felt like an outsider. read more

How did they get all those stars? The staff and service were exceptional but this had to be the worst sushi I have had in my entire life!! We left half on the table and the staff didn't even ask why. Honestly maybe it was the night - it happens, but publix Sushi is more edible and publix is gross! We were all so disappointed in the quality and taste. Sadly we will not go back. read more

Sushi Republic - Awful sushi but smiles abound cause the service was good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

Good food and service! I went with my 10 year old son and we both had a very good time.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is a bit old something similar to many Japanese restaurants, but the food is delivered to great quality and price for a local location in Surfside. read more

Lately with being sushi crazed and we have visited different places all over Miami. With a deep passion for tuna tartare and riceless rolls, I went on Yelp while visiting the ball harbor area and this restaurant popped up. It is located at the corner of Surfside with street parking available. It was late already and it only had about two or three tables with guests. The staff is very friendly but the place could use some remodeling or re-decoration, might be helpful to the eye. We tried the tuna tartare and the K roll accompanied by a house salad, And I remember that there are still good restaurants with good prices and comparison to others were of been in the past few weeks; here a house salad goes for $2.75. Not bad at all! The tuna tartare $12 and my delicious roll for $10. I have to complement the ginger dressing in their salad! Remember to tip your servers! @francescaMusica read more

Retract! Retract! I had two experiences with the Republic that ended the honeymoon! Came here about 2 weeks ago on a Thursday night around 9pm. The restaurant was half full. We were seated and given time to peruse the menu. Lots and lots of time! Someone came by the table to ask if we wanted to move to a larger table, but did not take our order. We flagged down the manager-type guy, who said he would send over someone to take our order, and still, we waited. Another couple that came in at the same time as we did ordered and received their food, and there we were.....waiting for someone to take our order! I was so hungry that by the time the food arrived, I really couldn't say if it was worth the wait - it was just inhaled. We ordered delivery from here last night and it was an epic fail. The food took over an hour to arrive, the "free" delivery was not free and the food was totally sub-par, once it finally arrived. Hot items were cold, the rolls were fallilng apart and everything was wickedly salty. Extremely disappointed. read more

There are several sushi restaurants on this street. I was in town as randomly selected this one. I am glad I did (not saying the others are bad, since I didn't try them). I ordered the sashimi plate which came with soup and rice. The sushi was really fresh! The salmon and ahi tuna were definitely the best two fishes. I will be back to try more when I get back into town read more

We got takeout so i can't speak to vibe and ambiance, but it looked cute in there when picking up food. Sushi was fantastic, apps were great as well, mainly seaweed salad and dumplings. Absolutely delish and great value for the price! read more

We ordered out a combo dinner for 4 plus several rolls. It came out to $191 on the bill (not including tip) for a meal for 8, and there was plenty for everyone. They packed the whole to-go order really efficiently, including putting the miso soup in styrofoam coffee cups, wrapped up in saran wrap, and placed into cup holders. Overall the quality of the fish seemed great; the salmon soft and fresh. The shrimp nigiri wasn't as great. The rolls didn't stand out too much, but the cucumber rolls were one of the less popular ones. The rainbow roll seemed a little skimpy on the ingredients. The spider roll wasn't as crunchy as I'd like, but this was after we walked a few blocks with the food and it'd been sitting out on our hotel patio through dinner. The tempura was good as well. The miso soup was ok, and the salad was a bit simple. Our dinner: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sushi-republic-surfside?select=u_Y_jGryzhMVV6hSvm8y_A#u_Y_jGryzhMVV6hSvm8y_A read more

Always good food for a easy diner in a local restaurant. We come here for years with our family and we will keep coming for more.

Airene our waitress was awesome. The service was top notch with fresh made to order sushi. She recommended a milky sake that was to die for. Sweet overtones with a kick at the end. After 3 nights of eating this has been a delight. If your in North Shore this is a must stop. A little cozy place with great sushi what else can you wish for. Price is on point too. :) read more

Best sushi in town. My family like to eat there and take out. It's always good. Friendly service. Excellent quality. I only wish they were on UberEats for delivery! read more

Sushi Republic is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Miami. I highly recommend this place for any sushi lovers! Fresh food with fast and friendly service. I love bringing my friends to try it out. On Mondays-Thursdays they offer bento boxes during lunch time (12 pm - 3 pm if I'm not mistaken). They come with Miso Soup, a House Salad, California Roll and two other options. I usually pick the Chicken Teriyaki and Salmon Roll. At $11 it's so filling and delicious - it's a steal! My favorite rolls are the Caribbean, Three Seas, and Boston rolls. I've also ordered takeout for dinner on several occasions (I recommend ordering from their dinner combo menu) and the most I've had to wait was around 15 minutes. It comes in handy whenever I'm feeling too lazy to cook dinner. read more

Sushi Republic - Chicken Teriyaki bento box with a California Roll, Salmon Roll, House Salad and Miso Soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

Yesterday my friend took me there for lunch on our lunch break... To be honest, to be honest I really just wanted my usual tuna sub from subway across the street but I wanted my friend to be happy.. Long story short.. I ordered the same thing as my friend but added shrimp to mine. When my order came, the fork and knife was already in the plate but it was used and had lipstick on it. I only caught it after the fact. I was very tired and like I said I wanted my friend to be happy for doing something nice for me. But usually I would have sent the food back if I was in my right mind. We kept trying to tell the staff but nobody cared. They just replaced the fork and walked off. Then when my friend mentioned it at the end someone else gave me a $10 gift card for the restaurant. Really? First of all I'm not eating eating there again. Secondly, what am I going to do with a $10 gift card for a restaurant when I get sick from eating off of a dirty fork. That's just wrong, the entire thing was just wrong. And nobody cared. I don't know about anyone else's experience but I know class and the service there was lacking plenty of that.... Playing with people's health is a big no no. read more

First time coming here and I loved the food. Keeping in mind that I'm not really open minded to a lot of things, meaning that I don't like to eat weird things... I had a great experience here. Tried the chicken Katzu that comes served with soup, salad and rice and I enjoyed it all the way. Really recommend. My girlfriend tried the J. F. K roll and the dragon roll and she ate it all. She loved it. The service is great! The servers came to the table and were attentive to our needs and always brought a smile with them. Really recommend this place. Come try it if you are the sushi type! read more

Very disappointing! We have dined-in there for years but never did take-out. That said, we'll never do that again. Very mediocre at best!

Sushi was ok, but what restaurant charges for teriyaki and wasabi and spicy Mayo when you spend 200 dollars on sushi. Plates were dirty, silverware was dirty. Go somewhere else! read more

Best sushi in Miami. I've recently moved to Miami from Los Angeles and was having a hard time finding a good sushi place. Los Angeles has great sushi places w good prices in every corner. Miami has awful expensive sushi places. But I finally found great sushi here. Good prices (considering the location). Place is small so you might wait at least half an hour, 45 minutes for a table. They look understaffed and take forever to take your order. And our server forgot to put in our entire order. We had to call her and ask about it. Ended up canceling the rest of it(we were pretty full also). Wish they would move to a bigger location with better parking. If you sit outside don't forget people are allowed to (and will) smoke. By the way when will Florida grow up and forbid people from smoking where others are eating? I give 5 stars for the food, 2 for service and 0 for parking and smokers. read more

Sushi Republic features some of the more unique rolls I've seen at a small town Sushi restaurant. With super friendly service, and nice fresh fish in their rolls, they do their best to stand out at the end of the Harding Avenue strip. Looking for a meal out Friday, I went to Harding with my wife and sister-in-law. It wasn't until we reached the strip that we remembered it was Sabbath, so most of the businesses were closed by sundown. We decided to walk down a bit further, and almost went over to the Bal Harbour Shops, when we discovered Sushi Republic was still open for business. Upon entering we were greeted by a nice gentleman, who directed us to the hostess to be seated. The hostess promptly found us an available booth, and provided us with the menus to peruse. Several minutes after being seated, our waitress came over to take the drink order, and gave us a little longer to look over the menu. When she came back, we placed an order of the Pork Gyoza and Age Tofu to start, as well as our rolls. My sister-in-law ordered a Veggie Roll, my wife, the Hibiscus Roll, and I ordered a Yellow Submarine for myself. The gyoza was served as an order of 4 for around $5, and upon ordering, the waitress inquired how we would like it prepared (pan fried, deep fried, or steamed). We went with the deep fried, and the outside was nice and crispy with not too much oil, and the inside filling was very flavorful. The age tofu came served in a nice broth, and was soft and wet inside. The veggie roll was standard nothing special, but was well rolled, and the vegetables inside were nice and crisp. The hibiscus roll was great, and the tuna inside tasted very fresh. The Yellow Submarine was very unique, but was kind of difficult to eat due to its larger size. Although I loved the krab, cream cheese, and egg crepe, I did not particularly care for the iceberg lettuce mixed with the roll. Service was friendly, and never felt the least bit rushed. An 18% gratuity was included on the check which felt a bit odd due to the small party size, but I imagine it helps the restaurant ensure fair pay for the staff. As there are a lot of other restaurants in the area I still have not gotten to try, I do not see myself returning to Sushi Republic in the future, but I did enjoy the meal I had. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was searching for good sushi spots in North Miami and this one came up. I ordered the mighty dragon roll and a jb roll. Well, the salmon in the jb roll was so grey I didn't even touch that. And the mighty dragon roll, the eel tasted grainy and the shrimp tempura was so soggy. The best part of the meal was the white rice I ordered as a side. Save your money and go elsewhere read more

Went with a friend and the staff was super informing, they offered the best specials and rolls they had. Right in north Miami Beach with very good prices for the area. Ordered a box that came with rice, noodles, veggies, sesame chicken, tuna sashimi and a California roll but also had the cucumber roll which stuffed with tuna and other fish. It was all super good the box was only $12 and the cucumber roll was $13 it was well worth. I will definitely be back. Because of the staff and relaxed vibe I had here I felt like it was only myself and the other person I was with in the restaurant I really liked it. read more
