About Pubbelly Sushi

Pubbelly Sushi has been a Miami Beach staple since 2010, serving a hyper-creative mix of Japanese and Latin-inspired dishes from chef José Mendín in an industrial-chic space on 20th Street. The butter crab roll, bigeye tuna roll, and kimchi fried rice draw a steady mix of locals and visitors, alongside pork belly buns, tostones, and short rib dumplings that lean Pan-Asian with Caribbean touches.

Expect a lively, trendy dining room with a full bar pouring sake, microbrews, and cocktails, plus outdoor seating for anyone who wants to people-watch on 20th Street. Dinner here runs $30-90 per person, and the daily happy hour (3-6pm weekdays) with $5 sakes and Tuesday's $12 rolls make it an easy spot to try a wide range of the menu without committing to a full tasting.

It's earned a 2020 Miami New Times Readers' Choice Award for Best Sushi and remains a go-to for groups, first-time visitors, and regulars who have been coming back for over a decade.
