AlleyCat Izakaya & Sunset Sushi Omakase — authentic japanese restaurant in Miami, Downtown Boca Raton, Palm Beach County — Editorial placeholder

About

AlleyCat Izakaya & Sunset Sushi occupies the heart of Downtown Boca Raton's East Palmetto corridor, blending two distinct culinary philosophies under one roof. Chef David Bouhadana — Japan-trained, Morimoto NYC-seasoned, and widely credited with democratizing the omakase format across the US — operates the Sunset Sushi eight-seat omakase counter (Wed-Sat evenings, $160 for 16-18 courses). Adjacent, Chef Eric Baker's izakaya kitchen delivers a pan-Japanese menu elevated by his classical French background: signature dishes span wagyu dumplings, a legendary hot pastrami milk bread sando, and an ever-rotating selection of handroll tacos. Monthly Tuna Tuesday events see Bouhadana deconstruct a 200-plus-pound bluefin in front of a crowd, a spectacle that regularly sells out.

Reservations are available online — for a focused izakaya counter this is strongly recommended.
