SushiSamba Dromo is inspired by the SAMBÓDROMO in Rio de Janiero, the city where Brazil’s annual Carnaval convenes.  At the center of SushiSamba Dromo is the sushi bar, where diners can order traditional sushi and sushi rolls, as well as Samba Rolls, signature Sashimi Seviche and Tiradito (a modern Peruvian-inspired sashimi dish similar to seviche, but without vegetables). Try the Yellowtail Sashimi Seviche with ginger, garlic and soy, or a tiradito such as Tuna with lemon and fuji apple vinaigrette.  Also from the sushi bar adventurous diners can try the Japanese delicacy, Sawagani, a small, bite-sized river crab flown in live from Japan, flash fried, shell and all. Oysters, clams and other raw bar specialties will also be available. Complementing the sushi bar is the samba kitchen, which offers a hybrid of Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese dishes.

Appetizers such as Beef Tenderloin Tataki Salad, with daikon, carrot, habanero-tobiko and ponzu, as well as Tuna Cana de Açúcar, seared yellowfin marinated in sugarcane juice and soy sauce with tatsoi, palmito and fresh orange, range from $7 - $14.  Entrees ranging from $17 - $39 include Crispy Whole Red Snapper served with coconut rice, spicy red curry sauce and wakame and Moqueca Mista, a stew of bacalhau, shrimp, octopus and pitu in coconut milk and dendê oil, served with chimichurri rice.

A natural fit for the area’s international diners and night-life aficionados, SushiSamba Dromo brings innovative food and a lively ambiance to Miami Beach.

Great people watching both in and outside the restaurant. It is quite expensive, and since the portions are a bit spartan, I suggest you don\'t go there with a full appetite unless your wallet is bottomless. Have a drink, a couple of appetizers, move on.

I spent the most wonderful three hours there chilling to the music - don't miss the strawberry martini.

Reviewer: Vera from Hallandale Beach, FL Recommended: No Overall Rating: Service: 1-Bad Ambiance: 3-Fair Food Quality: 4-Good Value for Price: 3-Fair Review:  The hostess was very impolite and on top of typing the reservation with two fingers, she didn't seem able to coordinate the guest list. I went there with 4 friends and they don't have large tables to accommodate a larger party. If your party is larger than two, don't even think about it. We waited for almost 1 hour and decided to leave.

It's on the corner across the street from the Lincoln Theater. Their sushi is very good and the restaurant's interior design is also cool. As with some (most?) Miami Beach restaurants, there always seems to be some drama with the staff, but I guess you have to learn to overlook the minor stuff or you'll ruin your vacation obsessing over a few bozos. Oh well, at least it isn't as bad as Paris.

(Be sure to ask for the drink menu, there are some great original cocktails.) After downing more than a few drinks we ordered sushi rolls and everything was really fresh and tasty. Service was so-so (we weren't expecting much so we weren't too disappointed). The atmosphere was great and the place attracts some cool people. Ended up making some new friends at the bar and heading out on the town with them for more drinks. Turned out to be a great place to start the night - you should definitely check it out.
