  Great place for a brunch or a night out with friends and family and or just by self sitting at the bar enjoying nice vibes and an amazing view. The bar bartenders have their skills on lock and the food is always yummy, hot, and fast. I love coming here after work or for dinner with the wife. Ming; Tanuki manager has this amazing restaurant running smooth. She is always making sure every guest and employee are well taking care off. Be careful when you come, this place is addictive ;) You may find yourself coming back more often than were expecting.

  Came here on a Wednesday night and was kindly asked by the hostess if we had a reservation; I told her no and her attitude changed like if we were not wanted at the restaurant for not having a reservation. I pointed out that there were tables available inside but she wanted to force us outside or to the bar area. She then proceeds to show us the computer stating all empty tables have been reserved and as she was talking I easily made a reservation online for the time we arrived mentioning that it states indoor seating so we should be good. Nope, she proceeds to continue to try and seat us outside, but she finally gives up when she notices the reservation on the system. As we left the same “reserved” tables were still empty. Had this been my first time here I wouldn’t come back, but the food is good and the happy hour. Moral of the story get a reservation even if the place seems empty; otherwise the front will act like you’re not wanted. All other staff was attentive. 20% gratuity already added regardless of party size.

  This is mine and my husband’s favorite place! This was our second time here & we came back specifically because of the amazing service from our server Maria the first time. Luckily we got Maria again and it didn’t disappoint. She is a champion at recommending amazing dishes and really knows what her customers like. I have worked in the hospitality industry for years and she really is top notch. We will always come back solely for this amazing service.

  I had an amazing dining experience thanks to Isa, our server. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about every dish on the menu. Isa made great recommendations — especially for the sushi and sake pairings — and her timing was perfect throughout the meal. What stood out most was her genuine hospitality and calm energy, which made the entire dinner feel smooth and enjoyable. Even during a busy service, Isa made sure our table had everything we needed without us ever having to ask twice. Her professionalism and kindness truly elevated the experience. Isa is the kind of server who makes you want to come back — not just for the food, but for the service. Highly recommended!

  🌙 Tanuki River Landing – Where Magic Meets the Miami River There are dinners… and then there are moments. What happened at Tanuki River Landing wasn’t a meal — it was a masterpiece painted with flavor, warmth, and the rare kind of hospitality that leaves a mark on your memory. ✨ The Star of the Night: "Wilson" From the very first second, Wilson took the reins of our evening like a conductor leading an orchestra. His presence wasn’t loud, but powerful — the kind of quiet confidence that says, “You’re in good hands.” He didn’t just take an order — he listened, genuinely listened, as if he had a sixth sense for what your soul craves. The way he described each dish was poetic — not scripted or rehearsed — but real. You could feel his pride in every word. Every suggestion he made turned out to be exactly right. The cocktail, bursting with citrus and subtle floral notes, felt like a Miami sunset melting into the glass. The appetizers arrived like an opening act that already deserved a standing ovation — perfectly balanced, crisp, fresh, and infused with just enough creativity to keep you guessing. The main course, oh my… each bite was a dance of texture and flavor — tender, bold, and executed with surgical precision. And then came dessert — Wilson’s personal recommendation. One spoonful, and the world slowed down. It wasn’t just sweet; it was spiritual. A dessert so divine it deserved its own applause. If every restaurant in Miami had a Wilson, the city’s culinary scene would be unstoppable. He’s not just an employee; he’s the heartbeat of what hospitality should be. It’s people like him who remind you that dining isn’t about food — it’s about connection, art, and emotion. 🌆 The Ambiance & Atmosphere Tanuki River Landing is a love letter to Miami — perched gracefully on the water, catching the glow of the skyline like a mirror of magic. The soft hum of the river, the golden lights reflecting off every surface, the gentle rhythm of good music and laughter — everything pulses in harmony. The interior is chic but soulful, modern but warm. There’s something hypnotic about the energy — calm yet alive. You can feel the intention in every design choice, from the table settings to the flow of the breeze through the patio. 🍣 The Food – An Experience Beyond Taste Every plate looked like a gallery exhibit — art you almost didn’t want to touch. Almost. But once you did… it was game over. The flavors were layered, intelligent, and unapologetically bold. This wasn’t someone following a recipe; this was someone telling a story through food. From the sushi rolls that melted like silk to the perfectly cooked meats that carried just enough char to make you close your eyes — every course felt like it was chasing perfection and catching it. 💫 Final Thoughts Tanuki River Landing isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience that lingers. You leave full, not just from the food, but from the feeling. And Wilson — he’s the secret ingredient, the unsung hero of hospitality. His care, charisma, and authenticity turn good nights into unforgettable ones. To the management: treasure him. Protect him. Clone him if you can — because if every restaurant in Miami had a Wilson, the culinary industry would transform overnight. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (If I could give more, I would.) Memory Level: Unforgettable. Would we return? Absolutely — not just for the food, but for the feeling Wilson created.
