Salmon Sashimi with Avocado
Anie R.

Ok seriously what took me so long to come here!!! Especially being a sushi LOVER!!! Have to say the sashimi OH My words, melted in my mouth!!!!! The Crispy Rice, can't believe is as good as the one at my favorite place Bond Sushi NYC. We also ordered Rainbow Roll very good! Last so nice my guys got me dessert! I'm so glad it's so close I mite just have to come every week!!!!

Steamed and fried Gyoza, with sushi.

The service was well mannered and attentive, the food was delicious from the main course to the dessert, it's a very chill place to have a nice meal.

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!!

Beef scallion (not a fan)
Sherry J.

- Really liked the sushi and the service was good too - Don't get the beef scallion. It's just a slice of beef wrapped around a lot of scallion - We enjoyed the supa roll and the crispy rice is my favourite

Beef with scallions
Anton P.

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.

Oyster shot. Well worth the cheap price of just $3.75.
Mario R.

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.

Just feeling artist tonight ;);)

20 years I've been coming to this place I never had disappointment. We don't need to go to this extremely expensive sushi restaurant in Miami.

Awful sushi but smiles abound cause the service was good!
Danny S.

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.

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.

I had such a great experience at Arigatai Sushi. From the moment we walked in, the staff and owner…read morewere incredibly kind and welcoming -- you can really tell they care about the experience they're creating. We started with the hamachi, which was beautifully balanced with truffle-ponzu, jalapeño, wakame, cucumber, carrots, masago, and just the right touch of heat. The spicy edamame with chili garlic sauce was addictive and came out hot and perfectly seasoned. For rolls, we ordered the Crunchy Joy (shrimp tempura, chopped crabstick, tempura flakes, topped with avocado, yellow chili sauce, and eel sauce), which had such a satisfying texture and flavor combo, and the spicy hamachi roll, which was fresh, flavorful, and well-executed without being overpowering. One of the surprises of the night was the salmon burger with fries -- genuinely so good. The salmon patty was juicy, the avocado portion was generous, and the dressing tied everything together really nicely. We also tried their ramen, which is new to the menu, and it did not disappoint. The broth was deeply flavorful and comforting, with a soft-boiled egg, edamame, and mushrooms. You can tell a lot of thought went into it. We finished with the biscoff cake, which was the perfect ending to the meal. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and inviting, with a lovely outdoor patio option as well. Overall, this place feels like a true neighborhood gem -- great food, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I'll definitely be returning.

This has been one of my top go-to spots to bring my family, so it was disappointing to have a different experience this time. We ordered a variety of dishes, including some of our usual favorites. I got the spicy edamame, which unfortunately seemed a bit overcooked--the beans were much softer than I prefer. My daughter ordered a chicken dish that ended up being mostly breading with very little chicken inside. I also ordered my usual salmon teriyaki, but this time the sauce tasted overcooked, almost burnt, which made it difficult to enjoy. I even had my daughter and her boyfriend try it to make sure it wasn't just me, and they both agreed. That said, not everything missed. The service was amazing. My daughter liked the miso soup. The Crunchy Joy roll (I believe that's the name) was very good, and the deep-fried pork gyoza was amazing as always. Overall, I was very disappointed since this place has consistently been one of my favorites. I'm hoping this was just an off day and that my next visit is back to the quality I'm used to. This is the reason for my three stars.

We were planning on ordering and taking the food to go. The restaurant had only one or two tables filled, so this was not a problem. The server was super friendly and the food was ready quickly. We had the following: Spicy Blue Crab Hand Roll Hamachi Hand Roll Spicy Tuna Roll Spicy Hamachi Roll Salmon Tiradito Pork and Shrimp Gyoza Verdict of the food: MEH. -Gyoza - I didn't try the gyoza because it had pork; Larry said it was a very small portion -Tuna and Hamachi rolls - tasted the same and were nearly all rice -Hamachi Hand Roll - I do not like hand rolls as they are difficult to eat neatly / share, but aside from logistics, this one was good! -Blue Crab Hand Roll - YUCK!!! The crab tasted like mud. I dislike crab though, so YMMV -Salmon Tiradito - very fresh and it came with an interesting passion fruit dipping sauce, but the order contained 5 tiny slices of fish The total came to $72 and we were still hungry after eating so I HAD TO COOK ANYWAY!!! I was actually pretty steamed all night; the point of spending money on restaurant food is to save me the work of cooking. So we spent money AND I cooked. Lose-lose. The interior of the restaurant is clean and fresh; the quality of the ingredients is good and the staff is super friendly, but the pricing is just way too high for what you get. The rolls were seriously not any better than Publix $5 sushi when the volume of rice is taken into account. We don't eat out much anymore so to try a new place and have it be disappointing is really a bummer.

I'm genuinely conflicted about even writing this because Blind Tiger is one of those spots you want…read moreto keep to yourself. Miami sushi will never be New York, San Francisco, or Japan, let's be real, but this is easily top three sushi in all of Miami for me. The key is non-negotiable, sit at the bar and do the omakase experience. They offer omakase at $50, $70 and $90-ish dollars, which is kind of wild when you consider the quality, the pacing, and how much food you're actually getting. Every piece is thoughtful, beautifully composed, and genuinely exciting to eat. Yes, a few bites lean a little saucy, that's my only critique, but the quality of the fish itself is insane, clean, fresh, and handled with real respect. I believe some of the owners are Peruvian, and you can feel that influence in the flavors and the way the dishes are presented. It adds personality without overpowering the fish, which is exactly how it should be. The experience overall is a straight 10 out of 10. If you keep kosher or avoid shellfish, this place deserves extra love because they offer kosher-style selections that don't feel like an afterthought, which is huge and honestly rare. That alone makes it a standout. One tip I'll give you, and this is important, sit at the bar and do the omakase. I can't really vouch for the rest of the menu, though I'm assuming it's solid, but the bar experience is where the magic happens. Right now, nothing compares to omakase here at this price point. Blind Tiger is special, and I'm saying that knowing full well I might regret exposing it.

Not my first omakase but my first in south Florida. Overall it was a good experience. Went for the…read morevalentine experience. Started with what I would consider sushi appetizers before the nigiri. I felt they were relying more on sauces in those dishes- but still solid. My favorite was the "tower" that had a cucumber base, nice chunks of avocado, topped with raw fish. There was a nice Unami flavor with truffle. Truly amazing. The nigiri was fresh- with some fish being preferred over others. Also, they had soy sauce on side so you could add the amount you want. Overall all the nigiri was good except for the shrimp Was my least favorite out of them all. However, I enjoyed each nigiri and trying fish I don't usually get. The last Sushi item was a hand roll. They then served miso soup which I thought was out of place in terms of order. Maybe should have been served first. The dessert in my opinion wasn't good and seemed store bought. In their defense, I am not much of a sweet person. I would have much rather had another sushi dish. However, one thing to note is that with the dessert - they did not give all parties the same type of treats. Therefore, we were a little disappointed when we didn't get the fruit tart and the chocolate macaroon. For drink I got a Japanese vodka drink (can't remember the name) that had a hint of wasabi. Wasn't spicy but you could taste it. The passion fruit mojito was so much better though and actually was part of the main restaurant. Servers were nice! Ambiance was really peaceful and cozy vibe. Sat at the counter thinking we would be able to watch the sushi chefs but instead just saw their heads. Would have been nice otherwise.
