We had an amazing dinner here from start to finish. We ordered the crunchy lettuce wraps-perfectly cooked fish wrapped in lettuce with an amazing slaw on top, the crazy lady-has an awesome kick if you love heat, and the red snapper-totally unique take on battered fish. The passiom fruit margaritas were out of this world. For dessert we ordered blueberrry bread pudding-possibly the most underrated dessert I've ever had. Were it not for the recommendation by our waiter I would normally not touch bread pudding with a 10 foot pole. It was DELICIOUS!!! Which brings me to the service. Alberto, our waiter, was the best server we have ever had. He made it seem like we were the only table in what was actually a very crowded resteraunt. He was constantly present, bringing food out so quickly it was unbelievable and giving great recommendations that actually took into account our likes and dislikes. He did not steer us wrong once. He is a fantastic asset to this already amazing dining experience. read more

This Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant is fantastic and it knows it. The decor-- all white, breezy, beachy- set the stage for a sophisticated meal. My husband and I should have arrived with bigger appetites because everything we had was spot-on. We started with a half-bottle of white wine. I can't remember exactly what we ordered, but we both marveled (and lamented) that we hadn't seen half-bottles of wine on any other kosher menu. This little gem, which was delightful, was brought to us by a very handsome sommelier (apologies to my husband for pointing this out, but it needs to be noted). We ordered two rolls and one appetizer. The appetizer was the (faux) shrimp lettuce wrap, which was incredible. The shrimp was sliced and tossed in a gingery, peanuty sauce that had more complex (including some slightly bitter) flavors than most peanut sauces at Asian restaurants. We also got the Cumbia roll (tuna tataki, faux crab tempura, tamago, avocado, chimichurri) on the strength of one of the reviews featured here and we weren't disappointed. I must have had some uninspiring chimichurri in the past because I almost asked for this wonderful sauce on the side, but I'm so glad I didn't. The chimichurri was the best part of an altogether excellent roll. For our final roll, we chose the Cholito Samurai, a perfect blend of the Peruvian and Japanese fusion throughout the menu (spicy hamachi, faux crab tempura topped with tuna, masago, guacamole, serrano peppers). It was divine. Come get some Peruvian-Japanese goodness at 26 Sushi and Tapas, a restaurant that does kosher proud. read more

We don't even eat SushÍ or Latin style food but loves everything we ate at this beautiful restaurant in Surfside. Service was excellent and ambience was perfect. Really a fun place for a couple or the the entire family. Go and enjoy! read more

Great food. Not the ordinary sushi place at all. They have a mix of Peruvian food and sushi. Very nice presentation and flavorfull food. Aaand they have great cocktails with liquid nitrogen. Never seen that before. Quite a show. Extremely recommend it. I was surprised to see the bad reviews, it does not match with what we experienced. read more

The Obi-Wan was the absolute best sushi roll I have ever had. Absolutely amazing! The lettuce wraps are a must! Oh yes.. dip the Obi-Wan in the Eel sauce! Everybody was so nice and the food phenomenal!!!!! read more

The meal was absolutely delicious, the best in terms of kosher food. However, as far as kosher food goes, the service lacks the five star experience. If you are looking for a delicious peruvian meal sans the pretense of a 5 star restaurant look no further. However, if you want the fanciness an expensive restaurant entails, Id go somewhere else. As for price, prepare to pay upwards of $100 per person! read more

Great kosher restaurant in the Miami Beach area! The decor is clean and modern and they put soundproof into the walls so theres no echo. The food was very good- they serve sushi and lots of latin inspired small dishes. I love the presentation of the food. Each dish had a very creative look to it. They also have some tasty cocktails. Overall read more

We liked this place, didn't love! It was fun to try kosher ceviche. We also got the miamito sushi roll which was good, a bit too sweet though. The scallops were the best! Yes, kosher scallops! The staff was incredibly nice and attentive, and food came out very quickly. read more

Absolutely beautiful quality luxury dinning. I have been fortunate enough to dine in some amazing places all over the world. Food is a passion of mine. Therefore I have high expectations. There is absolutely nothing better than visiting a new restaurant and being in awe of the quality and service. 26 Sushi & Tapas has absolutely beautiful food. And I mean beautiful. From the presentation to the flavors that meet harmoniously and leave you wanting more. I went for the first time when I had family visiting from Brazil. We ordered one of each entree and shared. We couldn't have planned it better! The Chilean seabass in the coconut curry was an absolute dream. They even infused the rice in lemongrass for an extra detailed touch. The white truffle risotto with the pan seared branzino left you wanting more! I can not wait to go back for their quatro leches dessert that is out of this world! I can go on and on. The pictures speak for them self. A must go to! read more

I came to 26 yesterday with my girlfriend. Boy did I love this place. The sushi pizza might be the best thing I've ever tried in my life. The vegetarian chaufa had SO much flavor. I was mad at myself because I it was so good I ate super fast. You have to come to this place. I love 45 minutes from here but man I'm already planning my next visit and recommending it to everyone. Trust me when I tell you this place is not gonna be just a "one time place". Even the staff was super friendly. One host told us where to sit. One person brought us menus and told us the server would be right with us. One person asked if we wanted Perrier water or distilled. Another person asked if we wanted sparkling or flat. Then our server came. LOL too many people. I wouldn't change anything in this location. read more

I am rating it a 5 star only because I can't rate it a six! I had been there earlier today with my wife and kids for dinner. Everything about our evening was perfect - the ambience, the seating, the service, and the food! We started with the special - pan seared dumplings and the sushi pizza! The pizza was a super hit with the kids! Then we had three types of rolls - the heat roll, the four seasons roll, and the Jacky Jack roll! All three were just fabulous. This restaurant does such a great job in fusion style cooking that they took the food to a whole new level of tastiness. The food was so yummy that my two sons (aged 6 and 10) went up to the sushi bar and thanked the chefs for the great food! Highly recommended! You have to visit! read more

this is one kosher place i went to out of convenience rather than because of my family it is located a couple of blocks from where i stayed when i am in s florida went with my sister who also does not observe kashrut but has enjoyed the place in the past we went for lunch and shared a tiradito my sister had a surfside roll and i a mandarin roll everything was excellent if a little expensive i normally dont even look at prices but these jumped at me but all was presented in a beautiful way and it was tasty and fresh service was attentive but not overbearing on a slow afternoon prices notwithstanding i am sure i will be back when in town read more

Worst experience ever! I Went here Saturday night as I heard the food was good, made a reservation for 9pm, when we came in we were told that it will be a few minutes... Waiting over 40 minutes we went to check the status of our table and were told that at that point they are not sitting anyone since the kitchen cannot take orders. Tables were available but they were not sitting people since the kitchen could not handle the load- if that's the case sit people in the empty tables give them a drink while you get your act together. Asking to speak to the manager a girl named Valerie who said she was the chef came by but was Completly useless, clearly she's never managed s restaurant before. We were finally seated an hour late but waiting over 15 minutes at that point for someone to come and take our order we walked out. If the restaurant is new and cannot handle the load take less reservations, done be greedy. Once again kosher eaters are being taken advantage of, I wish they all knew they have option elsewhere especially in Miami. read more

Excellent service and excellent food. Definatly recommend this to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Miami

All I have to say is "Sushi Pizza"-- whoever thought of such a delicious idea?? I could eat that every a be happy. They put together such an interesting, creative menu that combines the best of all different cuisines. The restaurant is beautiful, the service is amazing, and above all the food is really really good. And to top it off, its kosher!! Thank you Chef Val for putting together such a great place :) read more

Amazing restaurant!!!! The food was excellent!! And the service was awesome! I defenitely recommend this place if you are looking for a jappanese peruvian kosher restaurant!! read more

Very creative menu blending Japan with Peru in a way I haven't seen. Nice decor and ambience. Food tasted great. Cocktails were particularly unique and I'm recommending the mojito and bloody fire specifically. I'm certainly looking forward to coming back! read more

Went with my family to 26 Sushi and Tapas. The food was very good and they had some interesting dishes. For appetizers we had the trio ceviche, cream cheese dumplings, and beet salad. Again, they were all interesting and very good. For entrees, I had some sort of sushi burrito which was good, but not special. I had a cocktail from the bar which was also very nice. Service was A+ (I'd almost say it was too fast). They had a large staff and they were extremely attentive to all our needs. I brought my kids with me as well - they had some $5-$7 children's dishes on the menu (Mac and cheese, fish and chips, pasta....). The place was new and beautiful and is of the more aesthetically pleasing locations in Bal Harbour. Overall, I would recommend as a place to try when down in Miami. read more

This place is definitely somehow overrated on both yelp and opentable. The idea of Japanese and Mexican fusion is interesting, but it doesn't negate the face that the food here is horrible. We had four sushi burritos and two sushi makis. The rice in the burritos and sushi were so wet that they melt together. And the fish in burritos weren't fresh. The sushi makis were ridiculously sweet. read more

DELICIOUS!!!!!! I think there was maybe one dish we ordered that we were not over-the-top crazy about. The chef sampler and the scallops were fantastic. So we're the fish tacos!! Pretty much everything we had was amazing!!!! Our server was fantastic as well. Never mind that this spot is kosher, it's one of the best means I've had in the last 3 months. Oh yeah, the Tuna tower was amazing too!! Eat here!!! read more

Frustrating and flat out unprofessional. I ordered a smoothie for the menu price of 5$ but when the bill came they charged me 9$ and claimed that the hostess made a mistake by giving me the old menu prices. In addition their flavors don't work it's a a big mess with sweet gluey cream cheese in sushi rolls and a burrito which is basically a wrap that has smoky sweet and savory grilled flavors. Total bust and waste of money read more

The food was so so. It is over priced for the quality and portions. My favorite part was the sushi pizza appetizer. The actual sushi was nothing extraordinary. read more

Was a little weary of this place as I don't keep kosher and just flew into Miami to visit my sister and was expecting a traditional sushi place. I was pleasantly surprised. At first I didn't like the miso soup bc I was expecting traditional Japanese miso soup like I get in New YOrk, but once I grasped the concept that, that's not what this place is I started to enjoy it for being something different. Our server Melfin was amazing. The whole staff was super nice but he was so attentive and nice and when he saw that the sushi wasn't being pushed out all at the same time he took charge. No, this isn't what I was expecting when I asked my sis to pick a sushi place but yes, it was delicious (get the el heat) and I definitely enjoyed my dinner and experience there! read more

Delicious food, we had corvina ceviche and various sushi tapas, all very tasty. A bit overpriced in my opinion but still worth to try. read more

Disaster. Server recommended some of the most disgusting food ever. The annoyance was load and noisy filled with classless people chewing down miserable food. And all the for a $250. Oh yes and this place thinks they are so great that they even make sure to include an 18% tip in your bill. Good luck. A refund would get this review removed... read more

Can't believe I haven't been here yet. Very much enjoyed the Spicy Tuna Burrito... All the ingredients were extremely fresh, Kosher, and full of flavor. Can't wait to go back and try more on the menu. Plus they offer online ordering which is a major plus when you are in a rush! read more

I don't know where to start, we walked in asked for a table hostess assigns one outside then says she'll personally bring the high chair for my kid. 10 minutes in hostess is still behind her counter. I had to call a waiter over that finally brought one. We wait another 20m no one showed up to take the order finally I call another guy and he helped with that. Mind you we are two people and had one menu and no drink menu at all. It took a while I mean a long while for the food to come out, and it wasn't anything special at all. I paid the bill (way over priced sushi and quinoa) thinking this was a total rip off and the cherry on top was their charge 18% for service and that's when I laughed because they have NO service?? It's non existent. We went back home still hungry. read more

Awesome sushi, even better service! We're picky Californians in Miami for a few days of vacation and found this gem. Karate kid & el heat roll were amazing. Santiago was a rockstar and took care of us all night. Highly recommended! read more

We were in town for a conference and everyone said we must try this place. Interesting fun and delicious. I never would've thought of mixing the two cuisines but what a lovely surprise it was. We were with another couple so we each ordered different things to try a lot. Everything was wonderful and my next trip down here I will definitely return. read more

My family of six had the worst dining experience we've ever had. We ordered the children's food first. They got their food 45 minutes after we finished eating. We asked about five times when their order is coming out. Each time the waiters responded "one moment" read more

Juan at the bar was amazing! He provided innovative cocktails and menu selections that were spot on. Wonderful experience!

Horrible food horrible people. Do NOT eat here. The fish was old, it smelled and tasted very fishy we gagged trying it. After two bites we tried to send it back. The owner rushed over to tell us he would not remove it from the bill even though it was inedible. The owner is absolutely obnoxious and doesn't have a clue about customer service. High end pricing with low end food and even worse customer service. PASS! read more

Just amazing food and service. We tried the Sushirritos, Yakuza and Three Amigos, and loved it!

I always look forward to dinning at this establishment. The food is amazing hands down! I dream about the blueberry cheesecake. But the friendly and attentive staff is why I can't stay away. After a stressful day in Miami nothing compares to being taken care of like family every time you walk in this place. Even if it's a bad day just stop in for a slice of cheese cake and some happy company. They always have me leaving with a smile. Good people take care of you at this restaurant. read more

OM...mfn G!!!!!!! Come eat at this place right meow. Absolutely delicious! If you are contemplating eating anywhere else on North Beach, stop. Take a good long hard look at yourself in a mirror and ask yourself why. Then tell yourself that it's nonsensical, google map your ass here, sit at the bar, and request Edgar as your bartender. I guarantee 2 things : an excellent meal and even more excellenteeeerrr service . read more

Had edamame and Gyozo Amazing ... Hit the spot for a midday snack Must eat at for kosher and non kosher diners alike Will come back read more

The very Best. I have been going to eat for the past three months to 26 sushi and tapas, at least twice a week. The food is extremely excellent. Service is superb. Specially the new manager Gretel "she is the best" you have to try the Tuna Tower and the Maduro and coconut roll. Delicious!!!!!!! read more

The food was decent, but slow service. Not sure why. The descriptions on the menu could use improvement. Udon soup was a cream base - nothing like Undon. More like Italian dish. The stir fried vegetable dish was a miss. Wouldn't come back read more
