Came for happy hour and it did not disappoint! All the food was really good. My favorite being the crab rangoons. The dipping sauce was a good amount of spiciness, ginger and flavor. The blueberry yuzu mojito was a refreshing and tasty non alcoholic option. Pork belly boa was good but it was a pretty thick cut that I was not expecting. Totally would come back
Tanuki has a cozy and inviting ambiance, which I would say is one of the restaurant's main strengths. They also had a show during my weekend visit, which added to the overall experience. The sushi was good, but it wouldn't be the main reason I would return, as I prefer the sushi at other restaurants in the same category. Service was friendly and welcoming.
I recently tried out Tanuki right by the Miami River. You can conveniently park in the adjacent River Landing garage. The restaurant was very lively on a Friday night. We had reservations as we were celebrating a birthday. They have entertainment from fire dancers throughout the night. The Asian fusion food was delicious. I had the spicy tuna roll upfront and the amazing miso sea bass as my main. You get to see the boats drive by which makes for a nice very Miami vibe.
Heard nothing but good things about Tanuki River Landing so was excited to try them out. Unfortunately our overall experience wasn't great. The restaurant is located in the River Landing Mall which is great for post meal shopping. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and since it's on the river it has great outdoor seating. We opted to sit inside for a more comfortable climate. For starters, we went with the Crab Rangoons, the Gyozas, the Pork Belly Baos and the Salmon Truffle Pear. My favorite was the Salmon Truffle Pear. Perfect balance of sweet, savory and umami. But honestly even though the presentation was on a huge vessel, the portion size was microscopic. The Bao buns were also very good. But we immediately had to order another order once we saw the portions. For entree I had the Mongolian Beef and visually the presentation was very murky and one note. The flavor was ok but overall the dish tasted like it looked. Sad. For dessert we had an array of mochi flavors. The server asked each one of us which flavors we wanted. Well when they came out not one of us had the right flavor combination. And they weren't anything special. Honestly they tasted just like the ones from Trader Joe's. Service overall was meh. I asked for recommendations and almost every time was directed towards the most expensive item on the menu. We had to ask for water refills several times. We felt like an afterthought. So overall we left thinking the restaurant setting and decor was very nice but food portions and service unfortunately was not.
Tried their brunch and love it. We also stayed for their happy hour and it was a really good menu with good and different options.
The restaurant itself was really beautiful. They had plenty of seating available inside and on their patio which overlooks the river. We got a table outside and there's a dj that has good music outside but I wish it was not that loud so there's better conversations. They also have a women doing fire tricks which was amazing, she was really sweet coming up to our table and letting us enjoy the experience. Food itself was good but a little overpriced for the amount given. Definitely try scallop and shrimp garlic butter dish, it was mind blowing. Appetizers are also great, good choices. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
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.
Very nice date spot with great outdoor seating that has a view of the water with boats going by. Got the miso soup and truffle yellowtail roll which were both good. Service was fine. Prices are elevated, but you're paying for a lovely location. Interior is nice too. The couple of menu items I tried were not out of this world, but willing to come back and try more.
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.
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
My family wanted to take me out for Mother's Day and they know I enjoy a restaurant with a great view. They were able to snag a reservation and we celebrated Mother's Day for brunch. As we walked in there was a line outside, which was a good sign means that people wanted to eat here. I'm glad I didn't get a reservation. We were seated out by the water. What a great view of the Miami river. The water helps keep the area outside cool along with the fans. The food was brought out as ready. All of the seafood was fresh. They have a daily specials menu where we got tuna and salmon hand rolls. We really enjoyed our time and I would think about coming back.
Expensive, but restaurant is by the river view and in shopping center plaza. Food is sub par Beware of the 20% already included tips

My husband took me here for my birthday and I was blown away from beginning to end. This place is not only beautiful inside and outside but the service is top notch and the food and drinks were just incredible. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive. Made sure we were taken care of the whole time and recommended some great food items! We started with the pork bao buns and wow they were extremely fresh. My husband had the black dragon and I has the snow crab roll!! The snow crab roll literally melts in your mouth with the truffle butter.! Highly highly recommend. We also had the shrimp money bag and OMG!!! Delectable is an understatement lol. This place truly blew me away in every way! My husband made a note when he made a reservation that it was my birthday and not only did they not forget but the manager and staff all came out and sang happy with an amazing rice chocolate cake slice! you must try this place! The manager walks around to make sure you're happy and satisfied and she's so sweet! Truly worth the experience. And the drinks were really refreshing. You have outdoor fans with an amazing view to the marina where the boats are passing by. 1000/1000 experience read more

Tanuki is a great spot for happy hour and one of our date night rotations. Special shout out to the lychee martini, French 75, and Asian mojito! If you don't drink, they have amazing mocktails too, the ginger mule is my fave. Their Mongolian beef is our go to along with the sticky ribs, pork bao buns, and wagyu tacos. The Brussels sprouts might be the best item on their menu. They have a new basque cheesecake on the dessert menu that is incredible and you can't go wrong with their lava cake! read more
Free parking for up to 2 hours in the parking garage always a plus in this area! Excellent water views of the river and beautiful sunset in the background! Nice views, ambiance, comfortable seating and great music helped make a great experience! Let's talk about the staff (awesome team), some of the best, friendly and attentive service in South Florida from the moment we entered! The hostess, manager and servers all make direct eye contact say hello and care that you're there! Our server Hector was friendly, knowledgeable and his fellow team worked great together to clear plates, bring water etc. The Mongolian beef was tender cooked to perfection with tremendous flavor, as was the sweet-and-sour chicken, which I loved, because it wasn't breaded it was also tender and had tremendous flavor! The only thing they could've done better was give a little bit larger portion, but this was definitely a case of quality over quantity. We will definitely be back! read more

Tanuki has always been my favorite for iconic Asian dishes but always so far in South Beach but they finally have one closer to Central Miami!! This location is beautiful, practical, and just great overall. From staff, to ambiance, to service I had a great experience. I came in as a solo diner for lunch, (I never do this so I was a little nervous) around happy hour time and was directed to the bar, very pretty and great music and an excellent bartender. As I looked at the menu, I realized the one thing I always LOVED from here was nowhere to be found: The Tanuki Burger, the bartender went to speak with the chef to see if they had it, and he came to tell me it was an old dish. I was a bit sad but I understood. It's an iconic crispy rice dish which is so popular right now, maybe they had to limit it for some reasons. However the chef came over to see the picture of the burger and I was telling him how I knew Tanuki mostly for this dish. He was SO NICE and was like "do you want it" and obviously I did!!! I went from feeling nervous about eating alone to so comfortable. Within 10 minutes I ordered some wine from happy hour - super yummy and the dish came out. It was so incredible and yummy I can't explain it. With crispy rice buns and avocado and spicy tuna + crab. This dish is truly the best Asian dish I have ever had in all miami. Overall service was incredible and a special shout out to the chef who catered to what I wanted - incredible as you don't get that often in Miami. Definitely coming back and bringing my family with me, and please bring this item back to the menu!!! read more

Thank you so much for your review and for dining at Tanuki Miami…
Although restaurant is quite beautiful and right on the river in Miami, the fact that it's in the shopping center made it a little too busy for our liking. The service was good, nothing notable, and the food was served quickly and warm. We had the edamame and the beef. The beef was a little chewy, but very flavorful. read more

Food wise, it was really good here. The pork bao bun had nice flavor and the JB roll was solid too. Not the best JB roll I've had on its own but the waitress offered to bring a side of spicy mayo and eel sauce (not additional) and that made it delicious. The views of the river were nice and the aesthetics inside and outside the restaurant were really pretty. We went at lunch time on a Friday and it was pretty quiet, but it took 20 minutes for anyone to come attend to us (besides the girl who brought us water). I finally had to ask her who our waitress was and then we were finally helped. Not sure if the waitress who helped us was supposed to be ours or not; when she came up she asked if we had been helped and when we said no she said she'd be taking over. Food came out quickly but once we got the check we saw that 20% tip was automatically included. I'm never a fan of automatic tip included for small parties, it was only 2 of us, but to have it be 20% when we weren't even helped for some time was irksome. Staff was nice enough, and I'd probably go back, but just some things to note. read more

We went here tonight for the first time. Beautiful place inside and outside. We are inside. The decor is very unique. Highly recommended for a first date or date night. Our waiter was the best part of the night. Edzel was so welcoming. He made us feel at home and his recommendations were spot on. We tried almost everything and it was all amazing. The manager came over to our table after and asked about the service. We are already making plans to return. Thank you Edzel for everything! read more

Had an amazing time with my best friends here. Randomly came across it after a little shopping, our server Maria was really the cherry on top. She was extremely informative, super sweet & always had a smile on her face. This place has a great view of the river, great for a girls night out or a date night. The food & drinks were CHEFS KISS! Increíble. Some items I'd recommend: River View Mule, Yellowtail Tiradito, Dynamite Salmon Maki, Short Rib Fried Rice, Chicken Lo Mein & the Lava Cake, 100/10 experience! read more
