Loved the unique sushi dishes! Honestly, a lot of their menu is super unique! Also had a great drink menu as well with unique concoctions!
Had a fantastic dinner at AlleyCat. The 12-piece nigiri was excellent, the tuna especially stood out for its freshness and quality. The yellowtail yuzu roll was light and refreshing, and the wagyu dumplings were delicious too. We finished with the carrot cake, which was a perfect sweet ending. Loved the vibe and atmosphere, inviting yet lively, and the service was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Eddie and the staff were amazing, food 10/10 would recommend and come back!
Absolutely amazing ambience & sashimi!!
Lighting is perfect, dim and pleasant.
Waiters are very attentive efficient and kindš« I must say definitely one of the two highest quality spots for sashimi in South Floridaš„ I will definitely be back! What a hidden gem this place is šāŗļø
The Sushi was great, but pretty pricy. We spent over $250 on just two people. Their drinks are phenomenal for sure. The server was great. We got their desert and was suggested to get the Capybara shaped chocolate fudge, this was horrible and ruined our whole experience there. $30 desert too. Didn't even eat the thing. We would appreciate getting credited for it.
AlleyCat Izakaya is loud, lively, and definitely trying to be a good time⦠but if youāre coming here expecting a top-tier sushi experience, you might walk out a little confused (and mildly disappointed).
Letās start with what worked. The spicy tuna crispy rice was the best thing on the table! Crunchy, spicy, flavorful⦠basically a one-bite wonder.
The wasabi Caesar salad? Weirdly incredible. Creamy, bold, a little sharp. Who knew Caesar dressing needed wasabi?
The Yaki beef noodles were solid too; hearty and flavorful with a comforting depth.
But the sushi rolls? Just okay. Nothing memorable. For a place that reads āJapaneseā in concept, it leans way more toward izakaya-style dishes than actual standout sushi. And maybe thatās the point.
The issue is when you hear this is from the same chef behind Sunset Sushi and Sushi by Bou, you expect more. This didnāt hit the same way. As the kids say it⦠it was mid.
The vibe is fun if you like a buzzy room with a lot going on. Indoors is loud and high-energy. Outdoors is calmer and good for conversation. The staff was great, and the parking in the back is a nice plus.
But all in, itās a 3-star experience. Not bad, but not somewhere Iād rush back to. If youāre going for a vibe and some decent plates, cool. But if youāre chasing great sushi? This probably isnāt your spot.
Nice and tasty! Will be coming back
Every item we ordered was fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed the salads, brussels, and hand rolls. Will definitely visit next time we are in Boca.
We just had dinner here and Adriana was amazing and Michael was wonderful.
They treated us so well and the food was amazing !!
We will definitely be back. They treated us like family š
Alleycat is such a hidden gem. The two executive chefs Eric Baker and David Bouhadana are constantly evolving the menu with new dishes and amazing specials.
The Sushi is by far the freshest in Boca Raton as they fly in fresh giant tuna multiple times per month. Their new sushi platter options, are an amazing deal and great for sharing with friends, family, or just your partner.
Alleycat is the sister restaurant to Sunset Sushi which offers an amazing Omakase in the next room,
One of the things, my wife and I love most about Alleycat is that it caters to all taste preferences. Whether youāre going out to dinner with another couple, thatās a vegetarian or if you want cooked Japanese hot plates and your partner wants fresh sushi, there is something for everyone.

Beware!
Unprofessional Manager runs this place like a dictator. I witnessed him degrade employees who have much more people skills and experience then him. It was so strange to experience someone disrespecting hard working, kind people right in front of my eyes.
As a long time customer and a local I think that is not right. Nobody has to be a bully.

Had our House Plan reunion there last night and it could not have been better.
The restaurant is comfortable the staff was friendly,patient and very knowledgeable.
But the star of the evening was the food.
Everything was delicious , especially the Miso Glazed Ribs and the Chicken.
We will certainly be coming back in the near future

Great place. I do miss the rebel house (that was prev here) and I did feel a little disappointed in my second visit here. Wasabi cesar is delish, ribs you could eat toothless, but the roll was just OK, and had a strange aftertaste (for like $36 or something crazy). Vibe feels a little.. how do I put this⦠try hard asian??
Let me know your thoughts. Canāt decide if Iāll be back.
