With their impressive pedigree, I was expecting more on a stop in during happy hour. Their suprisingly small bar, which is odd for new construction venues, was full, so we ventured into the very large main dining room. I do like that they offer their HH in the entire restaurant. The restaurant is new, polished... my favorite spot is the Sushi Bar that's off the main room, sort of an exclusive feel to it. Service was spotty, food too... only open a couple of weeks, I look for things to improve, but often multi-unit operators come out of the box swinging by bringing in talent from other venues... not here. Spicy Tuna Roll and Pork Potstikers were good, but ordinary. I liked the Kim Chee Fried Rice and the Ribeye Scallion Robo skewers a lot. Japanese Fried Chicken was a surprising disappointment, didn't taste like chicken. Pork Bao just ok. Next visit I'll go with a few friends so we can order a bunch of things. My feeling is the Robatayaki section and the Sushi are the way to go. read more

Double Knot: What a great addition to the Delray Beach restaurant scene! I have to be honest, when I first heard that Double Knot was opening a sushi+ restaurant along The Ave, I thought, "does Delray really need another sushi restaurant?" Without a doubt tho, Double Knot is unique not only for its menu, but for the interior look and feel. It's minimalist mixed with Great Gatsby, which sounds like a contraction, but is quite striking and stunning. Inside it's beautifully lit making the restaurant a perfect, romantic date-night spot. And it does have a Miami vibe to it, more so than other restaurants in Delray. Now for the food. Double Knot offers quite a variety of smaller, Japanese inspired "Cold", "Small" and "Robatayaki" plates, which I like because you can try different things and not break the bank or have to remortgage your home. We tried the asparagus, chicken breast, maitake mushroom, and duck leg robos and they were all delish. I especially liked their spicy mustard dipping sauce (which they provide to you in a small, squeeze bottle [nice touch]) with the chicken. I ordered the premium uni wasabi sushi which was really fantastic, well worth the higher price. We didn't get it but the ribeye scallions robo was very popular. For a main, I had the wagyu bavette which included sliced wagyu over a miso butter, japanese sweet potato (i'm a huge fan of the sweet potato) and bonito. It was excellent, and it wasn't astronomically expensive!! I think the miso butter soaked up with the tender wagyu were a heavenly match. The hamachi ceviche was good and I liked the little pieces of grapefruit. The mushroom truffle fried rice was amazing with a perfect, fluffy yet slightly starchy texture. Double Knot has a good cocktail and wine list. We went around 630 on a Saturday in mid-July (not the busiest time of the year) and it got packed within the hour and we thought that the bartenders had difficulty keeping up with drink orders from tables and patrons as they came up to the bar to order drinks. There's a bar in the front as you walk in, a large dining area, and a back sushi bar which looks amazing. Double Knot is located at the Sundy Village development at Atlantic Ave and Swinton Ave, with underground parking and vallet. read more

I have now visited the (relatively) newly opened Double Knot twice -- once for Happy Hour and once for Dinner service. Overall, there is A LOT to like about this place and it starts with the front of the house. You are always warmly welcomed upon entering, and the staff I have encountered are all incredibly friendly. The other non-food-related big deal to me is the noise level. Kudos to Double Knot for keeping the music at a volume where you can still hold a conversation at your table. I've sat in both the front (bar area) and the back of the restaurant, and had zero problems speaking with folks. I have now tried several dishes and really have enjoyed the vast majority. Double Knot has an extensive menu with many selections that catch my eye, so it will take a while to work my way through it. All good --- I plan to be back plenty! A big standout for me so far has been the absolutely delicious shrimp tacos. The Happy Hour portion was two tacos, while the dinner portion is 3. They are chock-full of shrimp and really incredibly on-point (shrimp tacos are one of my benchmark food items). Prices seem really reasonable for the Avenue, relative to the quality and quantity of the food, as well as the service and beautiful ambiance. The one downside is that food is brought out as it is ready. The issue with that is that you do find yourself with a plate of food in front of you while the rest of the table may be waiting for theirs. I am a firm believer that if you order something hot, you eat it while it is still hot. If it is a cold app/side/entree, easy enough to wait, but it can be awkward. I think it would be helpful if Double Knot would put out bowls of fried wontons and sauce for people to pick at since everyone is not served at the same time -- but this is a chain, and it makes it highly unlikely that anything will change. Just be aware. The only other issue I see is that relative to the size of the restaurant, the bar area is really way too small. I say this because I can easily see wanting to stop by for drinks and a few small plates, sitting at the bar, but good luck getting a seat. I applaud Double Knot for not cramping the front of the restaurant, but in season, the bar is really going to be out of play based on its size. My Beli rating: 8.7 read more

Double Knot - Shrimp Tacos, Dinner portion - Sushi Bars Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Double knot was a wonderful experience from start to finish. There is another one in Wynwood that I never had the chance to try, so I'm glad I was able to dine here finally! We waited a few minutes for our table when we arrived and we sat in the back area. I was shocked by how large and crowded the restaurant was! I went on a Friday evening. Plus, I was happy we sat in a more private back area because there weren't as many tables and it wasn't loud so I could easily converse with my friend without background boise. My friend and I did the Chef's Select Menu and it was only $78 dollars per person! I felt this was quite affordable and seemed it would be worth it to get a little bit of everything on the menu. The Chef's Select Menu included 10 selections + soft serve for dessert. We got to pick one item from each section and two items from the Robatayaki section. The waiter told us the portions are tapas/appetizer sized and made for sharing. We started off with the Tuna Tartare from the cold section which included avocado, chili oil, and rice pearl. This is a MUST from this section. Next we had the Duck Scrapple Bao from the small section which consisted of maple teriyaki, cucumber, and chili. This tasted a little bit like seafood and I wasn't exactly sure why. I didn't finish it all because I wanted to save space for the other items. From the Robatayaki section, we ordered 2 meats: the Kobe beef and the lamb chop. Two skewers of Kobe beef and two lamb chops were included. Both were FANTASTIC! Well cooked, tender and melt in your mouth (which is my personal favorite). From the crispy section, we got the shrimp taco which was a tad spicy but absolutely delicious! From the meat section, we got the Wagyu Bavette which consisted of japanese sweet potato, miso butter, and bonito. This was AMAZING!!! Soooo freaking tasty and fresh. I loved this dish. From the fish section, we ordered the Branzino. This dish came with the tail on the plate, however I felt it smelled and tasted "fishy" so it definitely was not my favorite. From the sides section, we ordered the crispy Brussel sprouts which consisted of scallion, fish sauce, and crispy rice. They were delicious!! Really enjoyed this dish. From the sushi/sashimi section, we got Toro + Soy + Caviar which was freaking AMAZING!!!!! The picture absolutely does not do it justice. From the rolls/handrolls section, we got the Double Knot Big Eye Tuna which came with 4 rolls cut perfectly. With the spicy mayo, this roll was SO good. The soft serve was vanilla/chocolate swirl with a banana/caramel flavor mixed in. It was smooth, however I was pretty full by this point so I didn't finish it all. Giving 4 stars just because of the Branzino and the duck bao bun. Overall, I loved this restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the vibe and the decor. I will absolutely be back!!! read more

Double Knot really disappointed and it's more of an investor driven restaurant than anything resembling a genuine Sushi experience and there really seems to be a lack of understanding of what Japanese food is. We tried various items including nigiri, sashimi and rolls and all lacked the freshness and quality we were expecting and BTW that was the best part of dinner as it got worse. A beef item was chewy and tough and this was just left on the plate. A soft serve ice cream looked okay but even this was not good and was basic and dull and like other items at Double Knot was just not worth eating. We ending up ditching the restaurant and went to another Delray restaurant to eat. read more

They had only been open a week & was there for Happy Hour. Was filled so go early but the selection of little bites was fantastic! My daughter & I tried seven and we were not disappointed over any. Dining menu is excellent, bar & dining areas stunning along with a separate Sushi Bar in back. Great addition to Delray & enjoy like I did! read more

My husband and I came to Double Knot for date night. We were immediately blown away by the trendy and warm ambiance both inside and surrounding the restaurant in Sundy Village. Food was delicious! Standout items were the cheesesteak bao and the miso cod fried rice - everything we had was amazing. We were especially impressed with our amazing server, Avont. He was an amazing guide to the menu and his positive energy was infectious. We felt so taken care of all night and can't wait to come back for the other half of the menu that we weren't able to tackle in one visit lol. read more

I've lived in Delray for 9 years and have eaten at every restaurant the town has to offer 100's of times - Double Knot is by FAR the best food I've eaten. Maybe even ever? I would come back tomorrow, and the next day. We had the chef's tasting menu... incredible the portion size for the price. I'll be dreaming about this place until I come back. Aside from the food, service from Anthony was a 10/10. Ambiance is some of the most beautifully put together I've ever seen. The fact that they just opened and this was our experience is incredible. MUST GO. Thank you for coming to Delray! We needed a place like this to change the game! read more

This is a brand new, two week old restaurant in Delray. It is excellent! It's a small plate menu and the three of us were happy in our choices. Clean, attractive and service admirable. My virgin mojito was just right and no need to adjust with the jigger left for me. I had a Japanese scallop, my companions enjoyed chicken on a skewer and seafood in taco holders. Our waitress, Rochelle, was perfect on her attentiveness. There's a sister restaurant in Miami and another couple as well. A terrific addition to the dining choices in our great town. read more

I along with my group I was with was thoroughly impressed with the Double Knot. We went in a Tuesday night so it wasn't super busy but a good amount of people. Service was great and they were very attentive. We all did a collection of small plates as they don't have any larger dishes. We tried the Edamame, Pork Gyoza, Japanese Fried Chicken, Chicken Thigh Robatyaki, Beef Robatayaki, Yellowtail sashimi, shrimp tempura roll, spicy scallop roll and the mushroom fried rice. This place was a fun and nice dining experience despite it being slightly pricey. We got full off the collection of dishes actually and felt it was worth the price. The happy looks great so will be trying that soon! read more

We went to Double Knot in Delray on Saturday 4 days after they opened. Not enjoyable. to start the wine pour was small. Food came out sporadically; one dish was even served inappropriately and had to wait for the correction. Service was slow and poor with wrong dishes arriving at our table. The food was only fair. read more
