    Lemongrass crème brûlée
    Rachel P.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Must have that Truffled Yellowtail!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Came here for a work group lunch and it was a great choice for the occasion. We ordered family style and shared several dishes including the skirt steak, which came beautifully presented on a wood board with pickled onions, cucumber, lettuce cups, and a creamy aioli, We also shared Brussels sprouts, and fried rice with egg. Everything was well portioned for sharing and the table enjoyed it all. We also went all in on desserts and tried the lava cake, chocolate cake, and two standouts worth noting separately. The lemongrass crème brûlée was honestly the best thing we had all night, creamy with a perfectly caramelized top and a subtle flavor that made it memorable. The cheesecake was also a hit with the group. Service handled our group well without feeling chaotic, and the atmosphere is relaxed (great view of the river) and comfortable for a midday meal. Docking one star only because a couple of dishes took a bit longer to arrive, seems they may have been understaffed. Overall a solid pick for a group lunch in Miami and we would return.

We chose the Oma Deluxe because we wanted the entire experience. Francisco explained each sushi and what part of the fish we were eating. Each dish was brought out separately. There were about 9 pieces of different cuts of fish. They were delicious! My daughter had Sake and I had Non-alcoholic beer. Both went fine with our meal. Afterwards, we were served dessert.

Parking is mostly limited street parking though, so plan ahead. This spot is more about curated tastings, sashimi, nigiri, and handrolls rather than specialty rolls, so don't expect a huge roll menu. We ordered the sashimi assortment, white fish tasting, seared salmon, bluefin tuna tasting, unagi foie gras, and a few handrolls including blue crab and negi toro. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful, especially the bluefin and unagi foie gras. Portions are on the lighter side though, so we left satisfied but not totally full. Cedrick was awesome and really made the experience better. He knew the menu inside and out and explained everything perfectly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Wynwood and want quality sushi without the overly trendy vibe.

However, if your most expensive sushi roll is $29, and it's the only roll that comes with 5 pieces instead of 10 pieces, there should most definitely be a mention of that on the menu. While our other friends who ordered literally any other roll got a full size portion, it came as a shock to the table when those who ordered the truffle Maki roll received 5, small pieces. The spicy edamame was pretty good. The sauce wasn't just spicy, but tasty. The miso soup was good as well. For drinks, the espresso martini wasn't out of this world, it just tasted like every other espresso martini you'd get at any bar. Our waiter was pretty good considering we had a large party of 24 people. At first he seemed overwhelmed, but thankfully they were able to recognize that and gave him two extra hands to help with orders, drinks, and water refills. The restaurant aesthetic was cute and had a few nice backdrops for photos. However, good luck using the bathroom. The one women's toilet did not flush and was backed up completely with toilet paper. This forced us to use the one men's bathroom, which was also backed up, but not as bad as the women's. To wash your hands there was a small trickle of water. Seems like they have plumbing or pipe issues. Overall was decent, but I won't be back.
