Cooked food was very average. some dishes came out room temperature. Not sure why, it wasn't busy yet. service was great and we only had one dish with anything raw so not sure if that's great.

If only the flavor was as impressive as their menu... You're paying for ambience and maybe quality. There was a massive lack of flavor to everything I ate - almost like I had Covid. I think I paid around $80 for a beer, one roll and three tiny tacos. Afterwards, I went to a sushi place nearby in Mizner and had an incredible second meal, packed with flavor, for a little bit less money.

This was our second visit to Alley Cat. Food and service are excellent. It's a little noisy and a little pricey but still I'd highly recommend it.

Brussel sprouts amazing 8.5/10 Tuna crispy rice: spicier than other ones I've had but very very good. 9/10 Seared Salmon roll: The lemon; absolutely not, you need to have a very acquired taste to like that, other wise the roll was good after I took the lemon off. Salmon was fresh Taro non alcoholic tea: so so good (i usually don't like bubble tea) 9/10

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 kind💫 I must say definitely one of the two highest quality spots for sashimi in South Florida🔥 I will definitely be back! What a hidden gem this place is 🙏☺️

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.

Good food and great selection of drinks. Servers are knowledgeable, accommodating and welcoming.

AlleyCat Izakaya is loud, lively, and definitely trying to be a good time… but if you’re coming here expecting a top-tier sushi experience, you might walk out a little confused (and mildly disappointed).
Let’s 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 “Japanese” in concept, it leans way more toward izakaya-style dishes than actual standout sushi. And maybe that’s 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 didn’t 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, it’s a 3-star experience. Not bad, but not somewhere I’d rush back to. If you’re going for a vibe and some decent plates, cool. But if you’re chasing great sushi? This probably isn’t your spot.
