Sushi Garage

Bottom line: Pretty good sushi choices and an enjoyable organic chicken teriyaki main dish. Service was mid-OK, I was out of water most of the time though. Large dining area with a nice casual feel.The Deets:On the first night of a recent visit to Miami Beach, we went to this location of Sushi Garage (there appear to be more than one around Miami, we found) in the Sunset Harbour area. It really has garage doors that can be opened but during our visit was a large lightning/rain storm so that was a no-go. The large dining area was mainly vacant so no trouble getting a table. We were seated and we looked at the menu, figuring out our strategy for the night...which really turned into ordering numerous things to try, so fast it was all I could do to get pics of just a very few of them before we devoured them. Most savory, a few sweet, most sushi of course, and each were mainly good but I really could not get the names of them all they were coming in fast and furious and eaten just as quickly. Please enjoy the few pics I did nab. My main entree was the organic chicken teriyaki with rice. There was plenty of chicken but not any real accompanying veggie content. I liked the teriyaki flavor as it was not overwhelming but just enough to please. Service was OK however my water remained empty after drinking it even after the girl with the water came by the tables twice...she may have been confused by one at our table having a bottle of sparkling water. One of my friends at the table let me have their water, and I was grateful. Other than that, it was a good visit to Sushi Garage in Miami Beach, I'd not be opposed to trying it out again in future visits to the area.

The good: happy hour all summer long. Good drinks under $10. Spacious restaurant.The ok: food is fine! Not great but not inedible. The bad: service. The waiter never brought menus, we had to ask. Our water wasn't refilled once. I asked for water for the table (six people) and the waiter came over and only filled my glass. Weird! When the check came he didn't ring up our drinks under the HH pricing and we had to ask for that to be fixed. In summary: a solid place to have drinks and a few plates as a snack. I would skip trying to eat a meal here. And don't expect much service wise.

Save your money!!!!!! Get your fried rice at Sriracha House (fast food) and your sushi at Publix (pre-made)... everything will be MUCH fresher than the Sushi Garage!! I don't know what happened here, but it is not at all the same as when it first opened many years ago:The California rolls arrived direct from the refrigerator, obviously. They were COLD, firm bricks made of pasty rice so pre-made it had become shaped and tasted like play-dough. The avocados in them were half black and mushy.The fried rice was WAY OVERCOOKED AND FULL OF GROSS OIL.The Asian tacos were gigantic floppy lettuce leaves with a tiny spoon of sweet jerky in them. And the waiter charged us $2.50 for hot sauce (a clear liquid of water consistency). The "Happy Hour" prices seem like 50% off until you realize the portions are also -50%. So no deal... but the trick works because the other two people with me didn't realize it. After finishing this shockingly disappointing meal, we then noticed the sushi prep guy (who had previously been surfing his telephone for fifteen minutes) was now making sushi rolls with only one glove on, while the other bare hand was generously caressing all of the fish rolls he was making (maybe he thinks being in the fridge for the next few days will kill the germs). I thought this place was a local staple. But now it's become no different than a SoBe tourist trap.

Although called Sushi Garage, the sushi itself was disappointing so was the service. Good appetizers though - would come back only for the Chili dumplings.

The food here is fresh and innovative. You cant go wrong. Everything is delish. My go to best crispy rice on miami beach

I came on a Friday night for happy hour. They have a happy hour with drinks and food. Outside of happy hour, their regular menu is very pricey. The interior is lovely. Our server was friendly. The food came out quickly. The bummer for me was the food. The best thing I tried was the hamachi serriole roll. That thing was poppin' with flavor. Everything else I tried ranged from just ok to bland. I'd probably give them another try because I do love happy hours that offer drinks and food, and the friends I went with raved about how much they love this place and come like once a week. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things?

Really enjoyed coming for happy hour. Came in right around opening so we were able to be seated immediately. Friendly waiter. Happy hour is half off drinks and reduced pricing for some sushi and other apps. Ordered two sets of the salmon avocado roll, not notable but not bad. Shared chicken karage among three of us, I think we each got 1.5-2 pieces. Wanted to order the gyozas but they were unfortunately out so we got the chili dumplings instead- strangely watery but mostly liked it.Drinks were great, got the lychee mule and another one that had strawberry in it? Liked it so much we tried to come back the second night at a later hour but they were too busy! Overall solid soot, would definitely come back.

Met up with some out of town friends visiting for the holidays here. Id seen the brand but never had them so looked forward to trying it out. When we got there looked like there was still another hour for happy hour so we decided to get what was on that menu.I ordered the seaweed salad, a beef leaf taco, Korean pork tacos, and chicken skewers.Ill start with my least favorite which was the salad. Now while i like seaweed salad at times there is somewhat of an ocean/fishy after taste to it which i'm usually fine with, esp because seaweed salad typically also has a sweet/tangy flavor that usually covers the ocean taste pretty well... in this case not at all.. there was no sweet and tangy flavor and it smelled and tasted very fishy. i took like 2 bites and gave the rest to my friend that didn't mind the flavor.The Beef leaf taco tasted good although u dont get much it wasnt a problam at the happy hour price point. The pork tacos tasted very good and you get 2 of them. The chicken skewers were also good and cooked perfectly.I also had a chance to try some of my friends shishito peppers and i loved them.Service for the most part was good and I liked the look and feel of the restaurant.Not mad at all with our decision to meet up there.

What a fun spot! I visited with some of my Asian friends (whom I trust with any good Asian spot) and was very glad we stopped here during Art Basel. Ambience was great, the service was excellent, and the food was good. We were a large group, but wanted to share our plates -- tapas-style. I loved the tacos and sashimi. The seaweed salad was also so refreshing. I loved the truffle sauce we used for the sashimi. I was less impressed however by the fried rice because there was almost no meat or shrimp in each bowl we ordered. Overall, would consider coming back again.

Love this place! It is my favorite beach happy hour by far! The weather is finally nice so I decided to sit outside and was craving their dumplingsThey are super delicate and flavorful. They add a lot of crushed red peppers so if you don't like too spicy then I suggest ordering them on the side.The Café is spectacular in nice weather and happy hour is everywhere!Super nice Serbian server and super fast service.Everything was outstanding as usual and this happy hour is one of the top on the beach!
