Tanuki River Landing

Tanuki is a great Asian inspired restaurant with both ample indoor and outdoor covered seating. Nicely themed, it's a place you can dress up or dress down at. The foods pretty good with the menu having a wide section. Lots of veggie options too for the non meat eaters. Cute panda tea pot, however we were only presented with two options for tea: green and chamomile. We ordered green but ended up with mint. A little strange, but not a huge deal. I really enjoyed the slightly sweeter Singapore noodles. Good quality ingredients. The shrimp dumplings were super flavorful and made as well. Tanuki is group friendly. Our server was very friendly, but at times hard to find. The food came out a bit slower than expected, but it was quickly forgotten as the meal was delicious! I'd return and recommend.

Came here twice, once during the day and once at night.Looks better than it is.My first time coming was definitely much better than the second time.Let's start with foodI made sure to get different things both times to really get a taste of the place.I tried the duck dumplings which were pretty good but the shrimp dumplings weren't. And both times I went, they didn't have the Otoro wagyu sashimi/nigiri. Which was quite disappointing.The corn was way too buttery, and the sweet and sour chicken didn't taste sweet and sour. It tasted like regular cooked chicken with rice. Almost all the rolls were pretty bland.I'm glad the snow crab roll was scorched because that's what you can taste.The spicy tuna roll was alright. Most of the food was presented beautifully but there was no taste. There were a few that were really good. The wagyu tacos and the salmon tacos were absolutely delicious and so were the shrimp rocks. But almost everything else tasted bland. And I made sure to try almost 10 dishes.I was disappointed because the decor of this place is phenomenal. It is so beautiful, whether you decide to sit inside or outside on the terrace with a view of the water.The music was pretty good for the most part.The service at night wasn't the best, despite there not being a lot of people.There was only one server for everybody. The second time I went, the service was a lot better.Definitely mixed feelings about the place because it's beautiful and the view is amazing but honestly, the food is average at best.

Popped into Tanuki on a Friday midday for a solo lunch. The hostess was very friendly and I was sat immediately. The decor and vibe of the place is really stunning. You can tell a lot of thought went into it. They also have an outdoor deck where you can watch the boats pass by, I chose to sit inside because it was far too hot outside. I ordered the tuna crispy rice to start and it was SOOO good. Probably top 3 I've had in Miami. Rice was perfectly crispy and the tuna was melt in your mouth delicious. I also ordered the Xiao Long Bao which were okay. Not terrible, but not amazing. In my opinion there wasn't enough soup in them and they didn't come out very hot. I'd skip on these next time. Overall I had a great experience and I would love to return to try more!

Loving Tanuki so much at this point ! I wish I could remember the name of my favorite sushi cause it's on fire ! The tuna is just amazing and delicious, drinks are yummy and very presentable and desserts are delicious. My baby loves it as much as i do !

What a beautiful place to have a meal. They had a lunch special but I went with the Miami Spice and had the crab rangoon which came with three. They looked like mini empanadas. I had the Salmon Avocado roll which was pretty big and filling enough for lunch. For dessert they bring you two Mochi. There were six of us and everyone got different combinations. I liked the mango a lot. Nice place for lunch with the view of the water and lots of shops in the mall.

THE PLACE: Located in River Landing shopping plaza, there is sheltered parking garage connected offering a 2 hour free parking. The restaurant faces the Miami River, so youll be able to view the river & the passing boats - though it is partially obstructed by decorative greeenary. The restaurant has indoor, outdoor and bar seating and is absoultely GORGEOUS. Every space of the restaurant was beautifully thought out and gracefully crafted. However, here are my "buts" - outdoor seating experience maybe disrupted by loud construction right next to it (reason why we had to come in), music is very loud, and the table where we were later sat at had a leak directly above us. Im not sure if it was a spacing issue or why we were sat here knowing there was a ceiling leak, but my pants were wet from the wet cushioned seats and I was drizzled on the entire length of my stay. THE FOOD: Food was good, but the prices were outrageous for its portions. THE SERVICE: While our waiter was great, the service was quite slow for it to be early afternoon on a weekday. I would understand if this happend on the weekend or a busy time, but the restaurant was essentially empty.

This place was delicious! All the food was good! The service was great! Our server Maria was extremely nice and took great care of us. I loved the pad see ew! It was different than any I've ever had. The beef was like pot roast, and the noodles were cut I to squares but the flavors were tasty. The fish was fresh and yummy. The view of the river with all the boats passing by was entertaining! PARTY!! lolGreat spot! We really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you guys!!!

Im a big fan of River Landing so when I found out they opened a Tanuki there, I was like skrrrrr...Their menu offers you the option of ordering high end a la carte pieces or opting for one of their renditions. I'm a nigiri girl so we grabbed a few appetizers and then went carte blanche on the nigiri section. I love the presentation and detail they put into each dish. Also, my table wasn't crowded as the plates arrived in a perfectly syncopated timing in some pseudo-omakase order we put in. The server went through all the specials and answered all questions we had. The ambience is zenful as the rear of the restaurant faces the river which is perfect on a brisk evening. I love their tiradito options I ordered because the tangy marinade really elevated the profile of the fish it was served with. I love their menu. I think I ordered like half of the raw items that night. It's perfect for HH, a quick lunch, or a dinner date. I'll be back.

We visited Tanuki Miami River for brunch one Sunday afternoon. The location is just lovely right on the river! We sat at an outdoor table which has a beautiful view of the water and you can watch all the boats going by. The outdoor area is also covered in case of yucky weather. For their brunch selection, they have bottomless beverage options for $30 and a tasting menu for $60 pp. You can also order à la carte off the regular menu, but for brunch I would recommend the brunch specific menu. You get small portions of five or six different appetizers, a choice of one of two sushi rolls, a choice of one of five or six entrees, and dessert. The appetizers are shared among the table, and then all the other courses are individual. If you're anything like me, everything is shared always, and we found that this was exactly the right amount of food to satiate both of us! It was definitely a deal as well if you were to order all of the same items à la carte. The service was very good. Our server was very attentive and always kept our bottomless beverage full! The dessert did take a little while to come out, but this was okay because it gave us a bit of time to digest, sip on our drinks, and enjoy the breathtaking view. There is also a Tanuki location in South Beach, but I prefer the Miami River location by a long shot. I would definitely return for brunch or otherwise and I highly recommend if you're in the mood for a boozy, Asian brunch with a view!

Came in to celebrate a birthday brunch and we had such a good time! To start the decor is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. You're right on the Miami River so yacht watching is a must and we went on such a beautiful day so the outside terrace was the perfect spot. They even had a DJ, which made it fun.Service wise waiter was amazing. He was super attentive and gave good recommendations, overall just a nice guy. Now the food we tried so many things on the menu, and everything was pretty good. The brunch special is definitely a good deal; on top of a dessert and entrée, You get one of every appetizer listed in the brunch combo for 60 bucks! We also tried a few sushi rolls and some dim sum and we're very happy with everything we ordered! Cucumber salad appetizer was one of the showstoppers and a must if you come! Overall a good spot with good food and great vibes!
