It was a pleasure dining in. Our server, Benjamin, was knowledgeable the food was fresh and delicious, and the drinks were excellent! We will definitely be back a perfect experience!

Must have that Truffled Yellowtail!
Carlos T.

Many Many years ago, I have been to their previous location in Miami Beach for an event and ever since wanted to go back. So fast forward to October 28th 2025 I found myself in the area of their new location at the River Landing Mall along the Miami River for some legal things that had to take the day off to deal with. To reward myself, was able to have lunch that day so had excitedly pounced on Tanuki here and it blew me away! With not much effort driving into this big building complex of shoppes and condos, driving up the ramp a few levels to find parking, then taking elevator down to the first floor, you come to Tanuki on the river that has a relaxing covered outdoor seating area or when going inside one is whisked away into an amazing well decorated Asian themd space! Being the only one there, I opted for the bar area and glad I did as it had good views in every direction as well as through the windows to the outdoor area. It is here I had the pleasure of Gerrick the excellent bartender taking care of everything and answering questions and making suggestions. For drinks I had wanted a mocktail so the menu intrigued me with a Blackberry Yuzu Nojito, he made suggestions about how sweet I wanted it which was very nice for a bar to so! I got it not too sweet and was perfectly balanced being a great tasting drink reminiscent of a Mojito but with blackberry taste yet lighter on sugar content. Very very nice. Onto the food! Hungry! The restaurant is modern Asian fusion which their menu offers Japanese, Chineese and pan-Asian dishes to choose from. I had a hard time deciding! OK, two items caught my eye and had to order them both: Truffled Yellowtail Sushi roll and the Duck Dim Sum. OMG both were beautiful and amazing The Truffled Yellowtail was well plated on that dish and their truffle sauce lightly poured ontop. I love truffled anything and this took this sushi to a whole other level! So had enjoyed it so much. This vibrant orange wrapped Duck Dim Sum sits in its steaming basket, what a delight to see. Placing one in your mouth you are treated to a soft blanket sensation wrapping your tongue while chewing and the flavors are oh so Devine. I enjoyed the range of duck and other flavors going on and had to savor each piece by alternating this with the Yellow tail sushi and cleansing my palate with drinking the Blackberry Yuzu Nojito! It was so much fun taking it all in while eating looking around, interecrimg with the bartender. Dessert: Ok originally did not plan on dessert (was already full) but Gerrick talked me into getting the Lemongrass Creme Brule with three mixed berries. Again the presentation was very nice and when trying it the texture as I recall is like other creme brulees have had before but the flavor was subtly different. Not amazingly different, just subtle with a hint of Lemongrass. Would I order it again? Maybe not but then again next time try something else that might wow me. This was for sure a phenominal lunch spot hands down. Oh and I learned from Gerrick that on the weekends they have Live music from2pm until 4pm(?) And then later in the evening again have more live music. I definitely want to go back for that! Lastly, The River Landing Mall provides 2 hour free parking but I had too much fun and went over that so had to pay about $5 or so, which honestly is not bad. This would be a Mall to be tempted to stay and discover or shop or walk off the Caroline's consumed :). Oh and leaving the mall could be a pain if wanting to turn left to catch the road back to the highway ESPECIALLY if traffic backed up due to whatever reason (drawbridge up perhaps?). I had to navigate that mess. But wont let this deter me from coming back Solid restaurant Tanuki is.

I wanted a quick bite for lunch and stopped in here to have a roll and a drink. I sat at the bar and the bartender was wonderful. My roll was delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the bar faces the river and the outdoor patio. It was a weekday and pretty quiet so I got to talk to the staff, all very nice. Definitely will be back.

Tanya M.

Wonderful dining experience and Tanuki! The staff provided fantastic hospitality, delicious drinks, while entertaining palettes and vibes with a fire show and DJ spinning lovely Brazilian-Afro Beats facing Miami River with yachts passing by. Highly recommended! Definitely looking forward to returning soon witu my crew

Absolutely love coming here for happy hour 4-7pm everyday, even the weekends for food and drinks. Been going here for 2 years and so far everything we've eaten and ordered has been great. I love their sticky ribs, sushi rolls, and spicy edamame. I don't drink alcohol but my friends love their drinks when we dine here. The severs are also super great, Luis is the best one there! We go here for date night and even to celebrate my birthday with 20 guests. They are very accommodating and friendly here.

Pad See Ew and Mongolian Beef
M A.

Had a really good experience at Tanuki. We ordered the Black Dragon roll, Truffle Yellowtail roll, Mongolian beef, and Pad See Ew. Both sushi rolls were really good and the fish tasted fresh. The Truffle Yellowtail was especially flavorful. The Pad See Ew and Mongolian beef were also very flavorful and tasted authentic. The only downside was the rice that came with the Mongolian beef, was a bit dry. The location is really nice with a waterfront view, which makes the atmosphere great. Overall a great spot for both sushi and hot dishes, would definitely come back to try the other dishes.

Mango salmon
Mahsa T.

The ambiance is a 10/10 with river front views and great outdoor seating, however, the food was disappointing. Unimpressed with my happy hour cocktail (happy hour until 7pm on Friday), for $9 still pricey! We decided to skip the Miami Spice menu because it didn't have anything interesting. Crab rangoon contained absolutely no crab, was just cream cheese. Super expensive for fried cream cheese. I had such high hopes for the mango salmon. As you can see in the pics, not much mango other than a few unripe squares and not incorporated into the flavor, but just a garnish. Beautifully presented. Worst insult of the night, when I started to eat it, it was not only barely warm, but completely uncooked on the inside. Essentially, I was served raw salmon. Zero flavor and very watery and soggy. I pointed it out to our server and asked for it to be cooked more and well done. Received no apology from manager, nothing comped or offered for the completely undercooked (raw) salmon I received. When it came back out, my mango and most of the asparagus was missing, so I got less back on my plate than what I sent back to the kitchen. Absolutely terrible way to treat your customers. Cheesecake was another underwhelming and expensive item we ordered for dessert. Courteous service. Overall, this was highly disappointing and the food didn't match the good reviews.

Fried Rice
Mateo G.

Located 8 minutes from Miami university hospital . In an outdoor shopping mall . Very nice view of the intercostal. Ambiance had very cool Asian look with lots of visual esthetics to take in. The sushi roll was very tasty . The sashimi/ nigiri was a bit expensive for the place but the turo quality was spot on. Melted in our mouths. The miso soup was really Exceptional as well , lots of flavor and I was quite impressed. The fried rice was borderline bad in terms of contents and taste but can't win them all. Lastly the Asian martini was also quite good and refreshing .

Mojito
Helena M.

Was looking for outdoor/waterfront dining that wasn't over priced and over hyped and landed on Tanuki serving Asian fusion. Reasonably priced sushi and entrees in my opinion and we ended up getting the Black Dragon Roll as an "appetizer" and it was super good! We paired the sushi with a mojito to drink and it was super refreshing and light, however, I'm not sure if there was enough alcohol in it because by the 2-3rd sip it definitely was a little watered down but it wasn't horrible. Maybe ask for less ice? Entrees came and they were good as well. I ordered the Mongolian beef and I loved the sweetness to it. My mom ordered the pepper steak and she asked for it extra spicy but it was more so salty than spicy. Nonetheless, food and vibes were nice. The outdoor area is covered and there are fans which helped alleviate the heat. Our server Oscar was super friendly and helpful, so I'd definitely come back when I'm in Miami.

Awesome tables at the bar
Corinne G.

OMG. This. Place. Is Incredible! It's Cinco de Mayo and I just arrived for a two week gig on a yacht. I explained to my boss that I NEEDED a Margarita in honor of the day. He takes me to a... Japanese Restaurant? He says I should trust him and it was a good thing that I did. Terrific Maggie's! But it's the ambiance and decor that also added to the blown away factor! Everywhere you look it's an exotic feast for the eyes. I wished I could have stayed longer. Did grab some sliders from the happy hour menu and they were awesome. Really light on the fries so that was a little ding. Also had to remind the bartender two times about my when (and it wasn't busy) so I took a little off the score for that. Overall a solid score. I'd love to come back here again.

Tuna Crispy Rice
Tania D.

Stopped in for an early dinner after some retail therapy at River Landing. The crispy rice and edamame were both winners -- simple, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was friendly and attentive, and the decor had that modern-yet-cozy vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. Cute spot overall and I'd definitely come back for another round.

House White Wine
Sergio F.

I remember awhile ago checking out the Tanuki in Miami Beach during an Elite event. Recently in the River Landing area, I had a chance to try their location here. Located in the waterfront lobby of River Landing, Tanuki gave me the chance to enjoy an upscale take on Chinese food classics coupled with a nice view of yacht life (as well as enjoy the pre Music Week shenanigans and beats from yachts passing by.) I went around closing time, but my waiter was still very pleasant and helpful, especially with his recommendation on the dessert. After a workout, and fueling up for Music Week (EAT, sleep, rave, repeat) I enjoyed a full course meal starting with their chicken gyoza. Served in the traditional wooden baskets & with a nicely spicy & sweet ginger sauce, these 6 fluffy bites were flavorful. They had a nice filling of chicken & the noodle was soft past al dente. Loved the classic orange chicken, especially with fresh squeezed orange with the included slice and the black pepper in the rice Make sure to hold space for their desserts. I enjoyed their goat cheese cheesecake & a glass of their house white wine (since I went on a weekday, house brand was ok). The cheesecake comes in a soft pancakey crust and stuffed with creamy cheese, fresh strawberries and blueberries along with caramelized pieces. It was definitely worth any calories!

Great ambiance, great customer service, been eating here for years and it has always been great…read more Very family oriented, always treat you like family

I chose this place based on its favorable reviews--huge mistake…read more I ordered the sweet and sour chicken dinner combo (which includes special fried rice, an egg roll, and a drink), and the experience went downhill immediately. When the egg roll arrived, I asked for Chinese hot mustard and was told they don't have it--only prepackaged packets. That alone is disappointing. Authentic Chinese hot mustard is simple to prepare and far superior; these packets tasted processed and unpleasant. Then came the main dish. The sweet and sour chicken was almost entirely breading, with barely any actual chicken inside. What little chicken there was felt like an afterthought. Even worse, the texture was wildly inconsistent--some pieces were soft and soggy, while others were rock hard. One piece was so hard it literally shot off the plate when I tried to cut it. It tasted like some of the pieces had been cooked earlier and refried, which is unacceptable. The "special" fried rice was anything but special--bland, minimal meat, and completely lacking flavor. The most disturbing part of the experience, however, was the complete disregard for basic hygiene. Before bringing my drink, the server was observed carrying dirty dishes, wiping down tables, and even running her hand through her hair. She then delivered my beverage while holding the cup by the rim--the exact spot customers drink from. That is a blatant sanitation violation and a serious health risk. There's no excuse for that. This wasn't just disappointing--it was unacceptable. I will not be returning, and cannot in good conscience recommend.

Thanks to all the great reviews I couldn't resist a visit to this restaurant…read more Small and clean, the ceiling and walls are all hung with Asian inspired decor. It adds to the coziness. We were there when it opened and within minutes all tables were full before noon. The food is fantastic. The beef ramen was delicious. The beef portions were generous and the broth was bursting with flavor. The crab Rangoon appetizer was small (about 5 pieces) but so crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, I could've had 20 more. The chicken pad Thai was good but the portion was smaller than I'm used to. It was also a little too "wet", but the flavor was on point. The service was very prompt and the servers were super sweet. Great little spot. Can't wait to return to try their other goodies.

I'll start with a positive: I actually really liked the anime-themed decor. It's unique, fun, and definitely adds personality to the space. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The customer service wasn't great. It felt inattentive and unwelcoming, which immediately set the tone for the meal. We ordered two servings of crab rangoon, and I was honestly shocked at both the price and the quality. To put it simply it was the worst crab rangoon I've ever had. They tasted like they were deep-fried in old oil, with that heavy, stale aftertaste. They didn't seem fresh at all more like something pulled from a freezer and quickly dropped into the fryer. When I opened them up, there was barely any filling besides cream cheese. I couldn't find any actual crab inside, which was really disappointing, especially considering how much they charged for them. I was genuinely sad about how much money we spent on those two orders, only to be completely let down. I love supporting unique, themed spots and the anime vibe really had potential but unfortunately, the food quality and service just didn't meet expectations. I hope they improve because the concept itself is cute.

My go to for take out really delivers. This Chinese…read morerestaurant is near my home and I frequently see it, but had never tried it until I noticed that the place I usually go for Chinese food was not on any of my delivery apps. Consequently, when I decided it was a night for takeout and eating in front of the television, I figured why not. Canton Lee has a nice menu with all of the usual Chinese American choices. They have both lunch and combination dinner specials, which are very reasonably priced. But what really struck me was did they list all of my favorite dishes for takeout and they are well priced as well. My mother, a blessed memory, and still the love of Chinese food and me, and she would never start a meal without three distinct things. Wonton soup, spareribs (on the bone, of course), and egg roll. I ordered these items and they're not just tasted great but they were so good thst they even were able to bring back. Great memories (Sidenote: Dad loved pork strips and yatke mein soup which I rarely find these days.). Moving onto the main dishes, I ordered the Dragon and Phoenix, which is a mixture of sautéed shrimp and orange chicken. Their iteration is not spicy like I prefer, but it's really good. I love that. The chicken is still crispy even for takeout and is always nice, moist chicken breast. Maybe next time I will ask if they make it spicy. The second Dish that I ordered is Assorted Wonton which is beef, chicken and shrimp. Sautéed in a garlic sauce with pork wontons. The vegetables mixed in are extremely fresh and the sauce is delicious. I like this dish a lot although the wontons are these flat things that are a little bit strange to me and I would prefer the more robust ones I have had at other restaurants. The young chow fried rice is a huge hit for me as it is not only delicious but a huge quantity is packed into the container. Mixed into the rice, our combination of meat, chicken, and seafood, making this a perfect side dish or even main dish. There are many things in the menu I'd like to try but have not gotten around to yet. Regrettably I forgot to take pictures, but will add them at some point. I cannot comment on the ambience. as I have not been to the restaurant. What I can say, however is the both times that I have ordered the food was delivered quicker than expected. It arrives hot. Perhaps the only complaint that I have and it is not a very big one is that when I do the takeout order I check off the box to include utensils and plates, but neither time were they included. Again, not a big deal, but they should not offer that if they're not going to do it. So overall, I'm rating this specifically as a takeout restaurant as this is the only experience I have with them and as far as that goes, they are at the top of my list.

Still sampling the many highly rated Chinese restaurants in my neighborhood. Tonight it was takeout…read morefrom Har Sing. A rather simple order for three people of three dishes. My wife is a fan of honey chicken, and the reviews that I read online spoke highly of it. This dish did not disappoint at all. Lightly breaded unlike so many Chinese restaurants where you have to dig for the chicken through a very starchy coating. This was delicious moist chicken breast with a light and tasty breading. The honey sauce was in a separate container, which was nice as the food arrived. Still crispy and delicious. We all enjoyed this dish immensely. The second dish we ordered was called Four Seasons, presumably for the four proteins which were chicken, pork, shrimp, and beef. The shrimp was described as Jumbo shrimp but calling them jumbo would be a stretch and the fact that they were difficult to even find in the dish as I think there were only two or three total. The beef and chicken were cooked reasonably, but the pork must've been cooked a while before the dish and was so tough and difficult to chew that I gave up and threw it out. The vegetables were overcut as well and were soggy and essentially tasteless. Exact opposite of the honey chicken this is a dish that I could never recommend. Lastly was the shrimp fried rice. There were a fair amount of shrimp although they didn't seem to be well distributed to the rice and all seem to be near the top of the container. That may have been coincidence. The rice itself was a bit salty otherwise had virtually no flavor. It was very disappointing. Overall, the delivery was quick and the honey chicken was superb. The rest of the meal was not memorable and there are too many places with better overall food for me too risk another disappointment by ordering from there again. Although I might just order some honey chicken and skip the rest.
