Pubbelly Sushi: Chef Jose Mendin's Japanese-Latin Rolls Land on Clematis Street

Pubbelly Sushi calls itself a "next-level neighborhood sushi tavern," and its Clematis Street location backs that up with a menu that fuses Japanese technique with Latin ingredients — the signature move of chef Jose Mendin's growing South Florida restaurant group.

Rolls Built on Bold Combinations

The house-specialty Pubbelly Rolls are where the kitchen shows its range: the Wagyu Beef Tartar Roll pairs gochujang mustard, avocado, sesame, and a truffle-poached egg, while the Acevichado Roll loads lobster, crab, and shrimp into soy paper with leche de tigre. The Rockshrimp Tempura Roll rounds things out with avocado, mango, and spicy tuna. Beyond the rolls, the menu runs through cold and hot appetizers, sashimi, classic rolls, nigiri, and robata-grilled plates, backed by a drinks list built around sake, signature cocktails like the Wabisabi and Hemingway In Tokyo, and wine.

Happy Hour and a Downtown Vibe

A daily happy hour — drink specials from noon to 6pm and food deals from 3 to 6pm, Monday through Friday — makes it an easy stop for downtown workers and Clematis Street regulars looking for a lively, flavor-forward meal without a special-occasion price tag.
