SuViche – Sushi and Ceviche — Restaurant in Miami

I go to this SuViche restaurant from time to time because it’s not far from my home. If you live around Midtown Miami, the location is very convenient and even walkable. There are a few parking spots available near the restaurant if you drive. What I love about this place is its large size and two seating areas – a spacious indoor section and a big outdoor patio with many tables and even a bar. The restaurant’s design is very cool, and I especially love how the patio is set up, so I usually grab a table outside. Every time I’ve been here, the entire place was very clean; all the furniture and tableware are in excellent condition. I always enjoy the overall restaurant atmosphere – it’s very relaxing and enjoyable to sit outside. Even though the outdoor bar has a few TVs, during the day they aren’t loud and don’t bother. At lunchtime (when I usually visit) the place isn’t very busy, but whenever I pass by in the evening, the restaurant is packed and very loud, with TVs on high volume. The worst part of this restaurant is definitely the staff – unfriendly and with a constant “I don’t care” attitude. My waiters always took too long to come take my order, and they never once came back to check on me. A couple of times it even took about 15 minutes just to bring me a menu, and the restaurant wasn’t busy on those days. And a few times, when I was ready to pay, there were no waiters around, so I had to wait. Once, after waiting a while I even left my table and went to the bar to ask the bartender to bring me the bill. That’s really disappointing and takes away from the experience! The restaurant’s concept focuses mainly on Peruvian ceviches and Japanese sushi rolls. The menu also has plenty of starters, poke bowls, and classic Peruvian mains. I have to say – all the fish here is always extremely fresh and flavorful! For me the highlights are definitely the ceviches and sushi rolls. I love that almost all of them come in half or full sizes. My favorite way to order is a half ceviche and a half sushi roll (4 pieces) – this combo works perfectly and fills me up without overdoing it. The Mexicano Mahi Mahi ceviche (I always ordered it without avocado) used to be my absolute favorite – light, fresh, and super flavorful. Sadly, they removed it from the menu, but I really hope they’ll bring it back one day. The Original Mahi Mahi ceviche is also delicious. As for the sushi rolls, I’ve tried almost all of them, and my top picks are the Miami, Truffle, and TNT – all amazing! Prices at the restaurant are a bit on the higher side but still mostly reasonable. A smart trick is to order a half ceviche and a half sushi roll – about $20 total and the perfect portion to fill up while enjoying two dishes. Otherwise, a full ceviche or a full sushi roll will each cost around $18. The restaurant accepts all cards and Apple Pay, but I hate that an 18% tip is automatically added to the bill, especially considering the waiters are so unfriendly and inattentive. This practice feels wrong and scammy in Miami in general. In conclusion, I still recommend visiting SuViche because overall it’s a very nice restaurant with fresh, healthy, and tasty food; just don’t expect...

Impromptu lunch in Miami A little backstory: while on vacation, my whole family was dealing with some phone issues and we stopped by our carrier’s local store for help. It turned out they were experiencing a total network outage. Since I couldn’t get online, I asked one of the staff members if there was any good food nearby. He immediately recommended a Peruvian restaurant just a short walk away. Initially, I was a little hesitant because I don’t think I had ever tried Peruvian cuisine before. He started describing some dishes, and we decided to give it a shot. As we approached, the first thing we noticed was the cool outdoor seating area, which even included some rope swings and a full bar. One person from behind the bar led us to a table and handed us menus. She then arrived with our complimentary appetizer. We weren’t really sure what it was, but it turned out to be fried corn. Then things started to slow down. We waited about 10–15 minutes before anyone came back. Eventually, another server, not the one who initially seated us, took our drink orders. Wifey and my youngest both ordered limeade, my oldest ordered all natural passionfruit juice (which she loved), and I went with a local IPA called Nativo Key from Cervecería La Tropical. Also, an excellent choice, I ended up ordering a couple of rounds. The menu itself was definitely unique; very exotic and eclectic. Wifey and I decided to order a few things to share: the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Fried Mahi Bites. My oldest ordered the Shiitake Chaufa, a mushroom fried rice dish, and my youngest daughter built her own entrée, choosing a plate of sautéed chicken with a side of French fries.Everybody really enjoyed their food and drinks, and we pretty much shared everything. The Mahi Bites had some red onions on top and a sauce you’d typically see on a hibachi salad, but it worked well with the bites. Partway through the meal, my youngest daughter found a hair in her chicken. The staff was very apologetic, quickly scooped it up, and put in a second order. There was some confusion with the second order, it took a while to actually make it to the table, but they ended up not charging us for it on the bill. I went on a little recon mission to check out the interior and use the restroom, which was fresh and clean. The interior dining area was small and a little dark but had adequate seating. In the end, we left full and happy. Despite some confusion and slower service, the food and experience made up for it. I would definitely recommend SuViche if you are in the Wynwood...

09/03/22 decided to take my family of 8 people (six adults, one child of 2 years old and my disabled grandmother), to a good Peruvian restaurant so I called Suviche Restaurant. They were quick to inform us that they were able to accommodate all 8 of us immediately we got there by walking since we were visiting Windwood area, and there was a small female Latina waiter that said it would not be possible to accommodate all of us within 40 minutes. While we were standing up waiting, I saw a lot of empty tables inside and outside. Even though it was long time I request to that waiter to split my party into two groups so they can facilitate the service. When I told the waiter she said that even though there was tables they can’t accommodate us even in smaller groups due to the kitchen being so behind in orders so now we going to have to wait 45 minutes more outside. At 9 pm it was raining and I had a handicapped grandmother and a 2 year old toddler tired and waiting so I asked nicely if we can just have them sit in one of the empty tables so they don’t get sick or have my 80 year old senior get tired and the same girl told me “No if you guys want to wait you will have to wait 45 minutes standing outside” , this response shocked us. I asked if some of us can sit at the bar atleast. And she also said “No” as humiliated as we were We decided to wait outside and there in the middle of the rain waiting in line and there was a Caucasian couple that came in after us and they walked inside, sat at the bar, the bartender served them, not enough! Another group of 6 and they also got sat down. As humiliated as We felt I decided to talk to the manager I believe his name was Julio and I told him what was going on as we were waiting for half hour with that terrible experience and he try telling me they had to wait for a couple more tables to get empty so when I told him that I just seen that couple that got sit down after me he then started to apologize and gave me these two orange coins for a cheap happy hour drink when I told him that I was going to complain. So he took my number then and before he tries to justifies this comment mind you he has my number first. Horrible service. Staff need to learn to treat customers. Even though we are Peruvian i am never taking my business here again. I would rather go to Ceviche 105 where it’s always...
