Pubbelly Sushi

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Pubbelly Sushi is one of those places you go without thinking twice if it&#8217;s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">place to eat for the night. In layman&#8217;s terms, they&#8217;re winning — and it&#8217;s clear why. Run by Executive Chef Jose Mendin and his team, Pubbelly Sushi offers beautifully curated plates in timeless atmospheres. They&#8217;ve got four domestic locations in the Southeast (all poppin&#8217;) and one international hub in food-capital Mexico City. The cuisine is high-quality, always fresh, and handled with care. It&#8217;s a must-try for anyone in need of affordable fare, with a kick.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Mendin, a five-time James Beard Award semifinalist for &#8220;Best Chef, Southeast,&#8221; offers a banquet of choices for diners. His native PR influences show up in dishes like the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">PBS Chilaquiles</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (pork belly, kimchi, fried egg) and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coco Loco</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> dessert (brown butter, coconut flakes, pineapple.) Otherwise, it&#8217;s just a well-versed East Asian extravaganza. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The menu is rather large: starters, rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and even pieces off the grill. Plus, they&#8217;ve got bao buns—never gets old. Lastly, there are desserts and many many drinks to be found on the beverage board. To finish up, Pubbelly is all about the collective. There&#8217;s usually a DJ on deck in-house, which is built to host events. The warm lighting is sweet and cozy. Finally, a collection of heavy-hitting party platters are available for whoever might need one, up to 24 hours in advance. Yup. Winning.</span>
