My recent visit to Sushi Club Brickell left me with mixed feelings. First and foremost, I must commend the service and ambiance, both of which were notably well-crafted. However, from a purely gastronomic standpoint, the experience fell short of what I was hoping for.
The interior design is one of the restaurant’s strongest assets. The space feels clean, elegant, and functional, with an understated yet refined aesthetic. Tableware and glassware choices were tasteful and added to the overall sense of quality. It is evident that thought and intention went into creating an inviting dining environment.
Daniel, our server, provided attentive and professional care, striking the right balance between friendliness and discretion. His presence elevated the entire experience.
The food, unfortunately, did not resonate on the same level. Perhaps I did not choose the right dishes, but nothing I tried felt particularly memorable or inventive. Rather, it gave me the impression of revisiting the familiar flavors that first introduced sushi to the Western palate—something I encountered back in the early 2000s. In short, the meal was correct, but lacked novelty or depth.
We ordered the following rolls:
SPF (salmon, avocado, and cream cheese, rolled in sesame seeds): a textbook classic, without fault, but also without flair.
Acevichado (shrimp tempura and avocado, topped with tuna, acevichada sauce, and furikake): arguably the best of the selection, yet still not particularly exciting.
Tuna Huancaína (tuna tartare, cucumber, and avocado, covered with huancaína sauce and crispy cancha): unfortunately, the least enjoyable. The tuna was dry and lacking in flavor, which undermined the integrity of the roll.
We accompanied our meal with Sapporo and Kirin beers, which served as light and unintrusive pairings.
The final bill, including tip, came to $95, which I found average for the area. Still, I couldn’t help but feel that the culinary offering didn’t quite match the price point in terms of...
Read moreFinally, some good sushi in Miami! I knew the quality of SushiClub from their locations in Argentina, and honestly, I hadn’t found anything like it in the U.S. The pieces are super generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the sushi chefs create a mix of flavors that make you want to come back the next day.
The atmosphere at their Brickell location is super warm, and the whole staff (especially Manuela) helped us with our first order to discover the menu. The night I went, there was a DJ, and it was super fun. I went with friends, and everyone was blown away by how delicious each dish was. Tips: 🖤 Try the ‘Buenos Aires’ sushi 😮💨 and ‘Tuna Tostada’ 🖤 I know it’s hard when the sushi is THAT good, but save some room for dessert because they have an EXQUISITE selection clearly crafted by someone with a passion for great food: Junior’s cheesecake (yes, the best cheesecake in the world from NY in Miami!), key lime pie, and Freddo ice cream (yes, the Argentine Italian gelato that people obsess over!) 🖤 Extra tip: It’s available on Uber Eats, so it's perfect for Netflix and Chill nights with great...
Read moreFair and Honest Review for Sushi Club Brickell
I’d rate Sushi Club Brickell an overall 3 stars.
Service: 4 stars. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant dining experience.
Atmosphere: 5 stars. The ambiance was fantastic—stylish, comfortable, and a great spot to spend an evening.
Now, onto the food. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming. The sushi rolls were heavily sauced, with too much focus on presentation and not enough on quality or substance. I couldn’t eat any of the rolls and ended up giving them to my friends. The dumplings, however, were fantastic, and the sashimi was decent, but nothing extraordinary.
This isn’t what I’d call a traditional Japanese restaurant—it’s very much Asian fusion. If you’re into sushi with lots of sauce and creative takes on traditional dishes, this might be a place to check out. However, if you’re looking for authentic sushi or classic Japanese flavors, there are far better options in the area.
Would I go back? Probably not, but I could see this appealing to someone with a preference for...
