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.
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.
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.
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
Expensive, but restaurant is by the river view and in shopping center plaza. Food is sub par Beware of the 20% already included tips
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.
Outstanding in every way! The food , the service, the setting by water... had amazing drinks and can't shout out enough to everyone working there being so friendly! Can't wait to go back!

Date night at Tanuki - River Landing was so much fun! We were seated on the outdoor patio overlooking the Miami River. We ordered a sushi roll to start, followed by the mango salmon and the Singapore noodles. The Mango Salmon was the BEST thing we ordered. Absolutely delicious and the mango added a nice sweet bite. The Roll was pretty good as well; the Singapore noodles made sure we were full! Definitely will be coming back again soon! read more
This place was delicious! All the food was good! The service was great! Our server Maria was extremely nice and took great care of us. I loved the pad see ew! It was different than any I've ever had. The beef was like pot roast, and the noodles were cut I to squares but the flavors were tasty. The fish was fresh and yummy. The view of the river with all the boats passing by was entertaining! PARTY!! lol Great spot! We really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you guys!!! read more
What a cute little vibey Spot by the water with amazing ambience and an even better happy hour menu! Normally your typical happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4 pm to about 6 or 7 PM. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had happy hour offered here on Sundays. The prices were super super reasonable even on the regular menu and the drinks were definitely worth it on the happy hour menu as they were only $9. I did a happy hour sushi roll. That was also only nine dollars and delicious, spicy tuna roll. We also ordered some noodles that were my favorite some fried rice from the regular menu and a dim sum selection of 16 pieces for $50, Not bad. I was celebrating a late birthday dinner with the family and they brought us out a chocolate cake that was super indulgent and we ordered the lava cake which I liked more and paired excelled with the icecream. We went at the perfect time enough to enjoy an hour of happy hour and a beautiful pink sky sunset setting by the water. read more

It was a random stop before shopping for us and we were pleasantly surprised as we didn't expect it to be anything more than a mall restaurant. Great atmosphere and music. Tuna tataki and Bronzino were delicious. We also enjoyed their NA cocktails. read more
We visited Tanuki Miami River for brunch one Sunday afternoon. The location is just lovely right on the river! We sat at an outdoor table which has a beautiful view of the water and you can watch all the boats going by. The outdoor area is also covered in case of yucky weather. For their brunch selection, they have bottomless beverage options for $30 and a tasting menu for $60 pp. You can also order à la carte off the regular menu, but for brunch I would recommend the brunch specific menu. You get small portions of five or six different appetizers, a choice of one of two sushi rolls, a choice of one of five or six entrees, and dessert. The appetizers are shared among the table, and then all the other courses are individual. If you're anything like me, everything is shared always, and we found that this was exactly the right amount of food to satiate both of us! It was definitely a deal as well if you were to order all of the same items à la carte. The service was very good. Our server was very attentive and always kept our bottomless beverage full! The dessert did take a little while to come out, but this was okay because it gave us a bit of time to digest, sip on our drinks, and enjoy the breathtaking view. There is also a Tanuki location in South Beach, but I prefer the Miami River location by a long shot. I would definitely return for brunch or otherwise and I highly recommend if you're in the mood for a boozy, Asian brunch with a view! read more

Came in to celebrate a birthday brunch and we had such a good time! To start the decor is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. You're right on the Miami River so yacht watching is a must and we went on such a beautiful day so the outside terrace was the perfect spot. They even had a DJ, which made it fun. Service wise waiter was amazing. He was super attentive and gave good recommendations, overall just a nice guy. Now the food we tried so many things on the menu, and everything was pretty good. The brunch special is definitely a good deal; on top of a dessert and entrée, You get one of every appetizer listed in the brunch combo for 60 bucks! We also tried a few sushi rolls and some dim sum and we're very happy with everything we ordered! Cucumber salad appetizer was one of the showstoppers and a must if you come! Overall a good spot with good food and great vibes! read more
What a beautiful place from the views outside to the wonderful art mural and decor in the inside. Was shopping at river landing and wandered downstairs for the view of the Miami river and saw the restaurant patio. Decided to come in looked at the menu and stayed. Ordered the violet geisha with my favorite lychee, was refreshing and delicious. Tried the duck bao and Brussels sprouts. Omggg goodness the dough of the boa bun was so soft and fresh it melted in your mouth. Anything truffle is amazing drizzle in the Brussels sprouts. I would have stayed longer but I have to go shop. Perfect place to stop and eat and drink from Shopping. I will be back. There is also a location in south beach, which I use to go to often. Amazing service by Lenny and Francisco stopped to chat with me. Very welcoming staff! read more

Oh this is a beautiful location by the Miami River and so close to my home Feel ashamed I did not visited sooner. My boyfriend surprised me for a valentines date here, we just walked form home and arrived just in time to enjoy the sunset at the Terrace. Reservations were made easy Lovely greeted by staff on the door, quickly seated on out romantic spot. I decided the Asian menu over sushi this time (because my BFF doesn't eat raw fish) I tried the Mongolian beef and he ordered sweet and sour chicken. Both were good and lovely presented but mine overall won! A glass to rosé Prosecco and the lovely evening to enjoy At the end we shared a tiramisu. I forgot to mention the sweet touch form the restaurant to gift me with a beautiful rose to honor the that of love read more

I loved this Tanuki location. I went by after shopping at River Landing just in time for happy hour. The restaurant is very nice and it is on the Miami river so you have water views and its a great location for beautiful days in Miami. I sat at the bar and the bartender, Josh, was helpful and polite. I have always like the food at Tanuki, you cannot go wrong, but be sure to try the mushroom and potato dim sum, soo good. The manager also came around and was very pleasant. Lucky for me the staff was trying out new menu items and I got to try a crab salad that will be on the menu very soon! It was delicious! It was a creamy crab salad with avocado and pineapples. I will def be back soon! read more

Beautiful new spot located in RiverLanding. My coworker and I came here for lunch and enjoyed the water view from outdoor seating. Our waitress was very helpful with the menu. We glanced over the lunch menu, but ordered from main menu. We started with the Brussels sprouts! Sooo good.. the best I've had. Seasoning was perfect; semi-sweet with a vinaigrette flavor. I ordered the sweet and sour pork ; my favorite). The pork is real pork! My co worker ordered the veggie Lo Mein , which she described as sweet but not overpowering with a teriyaki flavor. We enjoyed our meals and plan to return at least once a month for lunch dates. read more

Great food & amazing service! Stopped in for dinner with a friend after doing some shopping. The interior is so aesthetic and cute, I absolutely loved it! Definitely made it feel like a fancier spot but we were dressed very casual. We were one of the few tables there, I feel like more people need to find out about this spot because it was delicious! We ordered the tuna crispy rice to start, the tuna was yummy and the rice was cooked perfectly, super crispy! We ordered the Lo Mein with Chicken & Wild Mushroom Kamameshi (recommended by the waitress) to share, both were so different but super delicious! They were great dishes to share, we ended up finishing both because we loved them so much. The Lo Mein was super flavorful, had tons of chicken and veggies. If you're a fan of mushrooms you'll love the Mushroom Kamameshi, it's a rice dish full of different types of mushrooms. It was so flavorful! We will definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

Had an epic time at Tanuki for brunch with the most amazing waterfront view! The place is not just clean, it's like Instagram decor level cool, both inside and outside. Every dish we tried was next-level good, not just okay. And, oh man, save some space for their mochi ice cream it's a game-changer. Shoutout to the manager for being super chill and making sure we were living our best foodie life. Honestly, whether it's brunch, lunch, or a date night, this spot is the real deal. We highly recommend this spot !! We got many dishes but our favorites were the Brussel Sprouts, Fried Rice , Sushi Roll read more

This is our family's second birthday celebration at this spot. Awesome! The service, the ambiance, and the food. My God My God! Our party was large so reserved for the outside. Make sure you bring your personal fans, we all know how hot it gets in Miami! The team their was very attentive to our groups needs. Bring your 'big pocketbook'. Not only did we eat we were in walking distance to all the shops that Riverlanding has to offer. If you opt for the $65 per person brunch...it's a lot of food and less convoluted when ordering. However the team allowed those of us who (for whatever reason) order from the regular menu. This is definitely a must do when visiting Miami. read more

Such a beautiful little spot to spend an afternoon watching the boats go by the river while enjoying some fine sushi. Thief menu is delicious. I tried the yellow tail roll and meat seared roll. They also have a fantastic berry lemonade if you're opting for something non alcohol. I highly recommend stopping in. And the music was so chill. Perfect for the day! read more

Came here for date and really enjoyed it. We sat outside nice to the river and just had the nicest view and vibe. It was our first time here so ordered a little bit of everything and let me just say I was impressed. The fish was so delicious and fresh! The only downside was the service as it was pretty empty and our waiter left us waiting for quite a bit in the beginning but overall pretty nice experience. read more

Miami might be about the beaches but it's tough to beat the view from Tanuki River Landing restaurant on the Miami River. You'll see anything from fancy party yachts to barges being pulled by tugboats as you dine on some truly delicious food. The tropical Asia ambiance is stunning. The happy hour menu (3 to 6 pm) is plentiful, so we made a dinner of it; we enjoyed the sticky ribs, the shishito peppers with a yuzu glaze (generous portion), the crab rangoon, the shrimp tempura roll, and especially the pork bao buns. We hear there is a new chef preparing a new menu but please keep the pork bao buns! Service was friendly and efficient. read more

My family and I absolutely loved our experience at Tanuki River Landing. We came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and it was such a great choice! They sat us outside and we could watch the yachts/boats pass by on the Miami River. There was a DJ at 7 and a fire dancer at some point in the evening. It made for a super cool vibe. The food was excellent. I loved everything I tried/shared. Benjamin provided excellent service. No complaints! Would love to come back for Happy Hour! 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

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
