Known as the eclectic neighborhood gastropub, Pubbelly Sushi brings a hyper-creative fusion of Japanese and Latin-inspired dishes by chef José Mendín. When Mendín founded the first Pubbelly, his intention was singular: Create a place where chefs could eat high-quality, affordable dishes in a cool atmosphere. Pubbelly became an instant locals’ favorite when it opened in 2010. A decade later, it continues to be embraced by the market, winning the 2020 Miami New Times Readers’ Choice Award for Best Sushi, and maintaining a spot on every tourist’s must list.
Contemporary eatery offering creative sushi rolls, Japanese entrees & cocktails amid playful decor.

Lauren at Pubbelly was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely so sweet. She made great recommendations, checked on us at the perfect times, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The food and drinks were incredible, but her service truly made the experience next level. You can tell she really cares about her guests. We’ll definitely be back — and we’ll be asking for Lauren

The food was absolutely amazing. But the service was definitely slow. We were seated rather quickly, but after that. It felt like it took awhile for someone to come and take our drink order or even get someones attention to order. The food makes up for the service. I would visit any pubbelly in the area if available. The sushi is amazing. The wings were a tad bit overcooked. The donut/crab sliders wasn’t what we expected. It was more of a seafood salad mix with honey dripped on top.

As fresh as it gets. The Hamachi Poblano sashimi was so fresh and fatty was my top pick. Rock shrimp roll exquisite, Sake great. Pork Bun not as good as Ny but overall a 5 stars experience.

I had an incredible experience at Pubbely. The sushi was amazing — very fresh, full of flavor, and presented beautifully. You can really tell the quality and attention to detail in every bite.
Iveth was the one who took care of me, and her service was exceptional. She was very attentive, friendly, and helped me choose some great options from the menu that made the experience even better.
I will definitely be coming back, especially if Iveth is the one taking care of me again. Highly recommended!

We came in with a group on a Monday night and shared a variety of small plates and sushi rolls. Lauren was incredibly attentive and made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. Standout dishes for me were the Big Eye Roll, the Butter Crab, and the short rib dumplings — everything was fresh and full of flavor.

Our Uber driver from the airport recommended this place and WOW — it did not disappoint! Our waitress Lauren was incredibly kind and gave us the best recommendations… we absolutely crushed our meal especially the lychee coco martini she told us to get. Seriously, go check it out and ask for Lauren! ✨✨✨

My friend and I sat at the bar on a Tuesday early evening and were met with some great deals. All the handrolls were $12 and they also had happy hour deals. It was great! My friend couldn’t drink any alcohol and asked for a mocktail, when I tell you I wanted to give back my beer and order the same refreshing cucumber concoction is an understatement. Sara, our bartender, also overheard us say we were celebrating a big and scary health related milestone for my friend, and surprised us with her favorite dessert, bread pudding. The rolls we ordered were delicious, the service exceptional, and the overall experience was definitely something I would like to repeat.

Sofia provide us with amazing service today! I hadn’t been here in a while because the last time I was here the service was absolutely horrific. She greeted us within two minutes and was very friendly and offered suggestions. We ended up getting the octopus, the kimchi fried rice, skirt steak, and the crispy rice and they were all amazing with great flavor. thank you Sofia. We will be back because of you!

What truly made the night exceptional was the excellent service by Lauren. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, offering great recommendations and making sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. Her service elevated the entire experience.
