Vegan eating on trendy Lincoln Road

Ask for the vegan menu! Sushi Samba knows good food and vegans are not left out. Edamame is a staple, but the mushroom tofu tapas was scrumptious! Also good was the teriyaki tofu served over vegan purple mashed potatoes (but I liked the mushroom one better). Vegetarian sushi roll was fresh, tasty, and made from quality veggies (no pickled or old veggies here). They also have a red quinoa and veggie roll. Individual veggie "sushi" is also an option such as asparagus, mushrooms, cucumber, or avocado. Also, the menu has appetizers like eggplant skewers and roasted peppers. They also offer three vegan dessert options.

Update: the vegan menu has been updated since my last visit, but the vegan options were are all still very good. I think the veggie sushi roll (the veggie kun) is even better than their last veggie roll. One item had cheese, even on the "vegan" menu so watch out, but I think it was just an accident because everything else appeared vegan. The tropical tapioca pudding dessert was very good and came with a delicious scoop of coconut lime sorbet and fruit and little lime cakes on top. Another wonderful meal.

Sushi Samba has some premium and quite delicious cocktails with fresh fruit. Not all cocktails are vegan, so read the menu or ask the bartender. Drinks are south beach priced at $13-16 for most cocktails.

Dress up for evening dinners and sit outside to people watch and enjoy the Miami weather. The inside seating is noisy, so you may want to avoid it if you don't want a noisier party scene. Also, if you don't want to see raw fish/sushi being made, then sit outside!

Possibly the worse service I’ve ever witnessed. Mediocre food, HORRIBLE service!

Possibly the worse service I’ve ever experienced. Multiple simple requests ignored (salt, water ). Over 1hr from placing order till arrival of food. Estimate less than 50% capacity, many wait staff, NO direction. Total lack of management, inmates running the asylum.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Very Expensive, Horrific Service , Over 1 hr from order to food

I wish I could rate higher but...

It’s fantastic that there’s a vegan menu. Additionally, the device was both prompt and courteous.However, I can only give 2 stars because my dish (tofu teriyaki) was quite disappointing as it consisted of half a slab of tofu, only lightly heated, a cup of steamed white rice and a tiny condiment portion of teriyaki sauce. This dish cost me $14. Yes, South Beach is pricy, but I don’t normally feel robbed after the meal. Unfortunately, here I did.

vegan menu available!

It's pricey, but so are all the other restaurants around. Their vegan menu is good! Very tasty, although the portions are small and expensive.

Full vegan menu!

In the heart of Lincoln Road - one of the most commercial places in Miami - there is Sushi Samba that offers a fully vegan menu comprising of sushi, tofu mains, side dishes, small plates and dessert. I had some simple steamed collard greens, sweet potato sushi, asparagus sushi and their signature sushi roll. It was all very tasty! I hope to come back to try other options another time.

Pros: creative menu, great location , quality ingredients

Cons: expensive , sushi perhaps on the small side

Best Vegan Menu in Miami!!

Literally one of the best Vegan meals of my life. Wish Happy Cow would allow me to rate 5 stars as I would! Seperate Vegan menu with abundance of choices. Delicious food & funky setting! Loved everything about it.

Pros: Vegan menu, Vegan desserts

great atmosphere

This place had a really fun Miami feel. I took a big group of omnivores here, and they loved it. I ordered from the separate vegan menu, which was really creative and delicious. I had miso tofu steak and vegan sushi. This is a great place for dinner for a mixed group.

vegan menu

Excellent selection of vegan items easily found on a separate vegan menu. Staff is super friendly. I love the eggplant skewers and Peruvian corn with Coconut rice.
