Miyabi Asian Fusion

Very pleasantly surprised by this small sushi restaurant in SI. I have been craving Santa Barbara Uni for awhile and I definitely did not want to go into the city or Brooklyn. I was thrilled to find that this restaurant had both Uni and Toro! The Uni is fresh with a sweet buttery aftertaste (we went on a Monday evening). Yumm. As you can tell from the pics, we ordered one piece each to try before ordering a few more Uni pieces after we realized it was FRESH (old Uni is so uck) ! We also ordered the toro belly which melted in my mouth. It was ssooo good. I usually find Oh-toro to be a bit too fatty for my preference but their toro belly is between an Oh-toro and Chu toro which is PERFECT for me. I also enjoyed the Madai and the ebi shrimp head! The Ebi was a little too mushy for my preference. Each sushi had just enough rice and vinegar was not overpowering or taking away from the fish. I am not sure why some of the reviews complain there is too little rice. If you want rice order it on the side? Sushi is not suppose to have too much rice!!! We also order the Staten Island roll which was fairly good but too filling for me. Service was excellent and the workers picking up the phone were very nice as well. I certainly will be back to try the other items on their menu. I did not enjoy the smoked salmon (taste like costco smoked salmon) and wagu (recommendation to make this last as it was served cold and needed a little more torching). I would also recommend a quick torching on the madai pieces to give the skin an extra char. Otherwise excellent fish selection!!!

I love eating here. The place is always clean and modern. The staff are attentive and conversationa, but the food is fantastic! I ordered the salmon teriyaki bento which came with hot miso soup, sashimi, california rolls, kimchi, salad, veggies, wasabi, and rice. The food tasted delicous and the plateing was a feast for the eyes.

I don't usually write reviews. But I feel obliged to do so after being here. I came all the way from Flushing to try this place out. Japanese restaurant are everywhere. But its hard to find a decent one with high quality and reasonable price. The price was beyond reasonable, if I were to order the same thing in other Japanese restaurant in the city or long island, the price would be 40-60% more expensive. This is a family restaurant and they are delicated to Asian cuisine. Mainly Chinese and Japanese. The sashimi is a definite try. Besides the price, the quality and freshness of them are just exceptional. Plus, staffs are friendly and helpful. Don't take my words for it, go try it out. I promise you won't regret it.
