DINING DELICIOUS
PUBBELLY SUSHI
n alternative way to enjoy appetizing seafood is by eating sushi. I visited Pubbelly Sushi at Brickell City Centre – an urban sushi tavern that provides an eclectic sushi dining alternative brought to life by Chef/ restaurateur José Mendí. Pubbelly Sushi prides itself on delivering innovative Asian dishes with a Latin and global flair, and creative sake-based cocktails. Besides their Brickell location, Pubbelly Sushi also has South Florida restaurants at Aventura Mall, Downtown Dadeland and Miami Beach, all offering twice daily happy hours and distinctive seafood dishes. My dining adventure at Pubbelly started with a Teasy Bear cocktail with Junmai sake, green tea, honey and ginger. I then enjoyed several delectable dishes: Salmon Tartare Taquitos with avocado mousse, red pico de gallo and masago roe; Tostones Con Ceviche with hamachi, ginger soy, cilantro and red onion; Tuna Pizza with crispy tortilla, garlic aioli and truffle oil; Hamachi Jalapeño sashimi with yuzu soy, cilantro and roasted poblanos; Butter Krab Roll with goma soy paper, kanikama, ponzu and warm clarified butter; The Heat Roll with spicy tuna, nori tempura flakes, albacore, garlic ponzu and spicy mayo; and Grilled Octopus with spicy lemongrass and crispy garlic.
