Excellent sushi, beautiful restaurant.
My only lament is that Miyabi's is all the way out in Southcenter. But if it were any closer to me, I'd go there every night and become a Sushi Lush, so maybe it's for the best. Main qualities of Miyabi's:
* Pleasant, charming, relaxing atmosphere
* Very fresh, excellent quality sushi
* A decent selection of sake and shochu
* Traditional Japanese dishes such as chawan mushi, yakitori, and takoyaki (I *heart* takoyaki!!!)
* Lovely Omakase available from the sushi chef.
Give the chef some direction if you order the Omakase - let your server know at least 3 different flavors of fish you like. The chef will run with it and you will have a truly memorable dining experience. (If you only give one flavor example when ordering Omakase, you may get a homogenous-tasting selection because the chef doesn't have anything else to go on.)
Definitely a solid Japanese joint in the South End.
The menu has a little more variety than other places which is always nice to see. They even have a list of shochu drinks which is strangely rare in Seattle. Of course, their sushi is good, but there are literally hundreds of good sushi joints in the area. But not all the items are fantastic, so beware.
The place seems to have a little extra flair. They hosted a trash fashion show and had a live Japanese artist make a wall-sized ink painting.
Someone "part of the team" suggested for us to go here for a "girls night out" for sushi.
I'm glad I listened!!!
It's a small little place tucked away in a strip mall, a little South of Southcenter which made it a bit hard to find, but was definitely worth driving past, turning around and then finally finding it.
Staff was extremely pleasant and even put up with me questioning how to say "fill in word" in Japanese that I had forgotten from taking it in high school.
We sat at the sushi bar and the chefs were very pleasant, personable and very accommodating.
Even though a smaller place, they had quite a few patrons for a week night.
We ended up having the maguro (tuna), hamachi (yellowtail), california roll (of course), spider roll, rainbow roll and bananna tempura. YUM!!!!
Prices are good and you don't feel like you are paying anything out of the norm for sushi.
Definitely will return... and maybe one of these days I'll be coordinated enough to eat with chopsticks!!!
Just okay sushi, friendly staff, fast service. Expensive lunch & I could of eatten twice that, but I just really didn't want to pay anymore money for just okay sushi.
Easily one of the best Japanese restaurants in the greater Seattle area. It's tucked away with the clone look-a-like buildings south of the Southcenter Mall, but inside, you'll find some very delicious food done right.
Dinner time is the sweet spot and it's when you'll find this place hustling and bustling. Try one of the bento boxes - it's way better tasting and looking than your average fair. For seafood, I'm always a fan of anything spicy tuna and the rolls didn't disappoint here. For beer, well, that's up to you.
Want to get away from the glitz and glamour of Seattle or happen to be in the area? Check it out. If you don't like it, then the meal is on me (just kidding).
Great sushi restaurant. From all the places I have tried on the eastside this is the freshest sushi. I always go on Saturdays so I'm not sure if on others days the freshness varies. I love the bento boxes. Even my 3 year old loves this place. Excellent service. Finally a sushi restaurant with a changing table for babies. If you have a little one you understand why it's a great feature.
I recently visited Miyabi, and due to the high ratings that were given, I decided to take my girlfriend there for some sushi. I'm a pretty good judge on sushi quality, being originally from a place where fish is fresh as you can get it, and thus ordered the chirashi sushi. I found the food just above average, and on that alone, I would have provided a higher rating... However, lets get to the service...
We were seated promptly, however it took about 10-15 minutes for them to bring us menus and then to finally take our order. We ordered 2 Chirashi, large bottle of beer, fresh shucked oysters, chawan mushi, and amaebi with the fried shirmp heads.
We got our sushi and miso soup in due time, and also received our chawan mushi as ordered... During our meal, we finished our first bottle of beer, and desired another one... that took about 10 minutes after we were done with the first, and eventually it was delivered when we were pretty muc done with the meal. I thought restaurants made their money, or a lot of it throught beverages.... anyhow back to the meal... theyforgot to bring out the shrimp heads and then the oysters. We were pretty much done with our meal, upon which time i reminded our waitress that we hadn't received our oysters or shrimp heads. To this she told us she would go and remind the chefs etc etc... We were sitting there for a good 10 minutes, during which time I could have shucked 10 oysters myself... She returned, and told us that she forgot to tell them initially and that they would be right up... another 5-6 minutes go by, and then she returns and tells us that the oysters would be hard to serve for no reason at all.... by this time, the novelty had worn off, and i told her to just take it off the bill and we would be ready to go. So she brings our bill, and sure enough the oysters were still on the bill. I politely brought up this fact, to which point she went and removed it, and came back...
We spent about $70 for a party of 2...
Food: B-
Service: D-
I'll have to admit this place was tricky to find, tucked away in a strip mall. When walked in, we noticed a group of Japanese business men sitting down for dinner. This was a good sign [so we thought]. We sat at the sushi bar and ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll, the Boo Roll [a Halloween special roll, Grilled King Crab Leg [small portion], and Miso Soup. There was also a small bowl of complementary Edemame which was a nice touch. By the way, the sushi chefs were very friendly and helpful when we asked questions. Hats off to great customer service! Now to the food...
The Boo Roll was festively plated with orange and black fish roe but we were disappointed with the imitation crab meat. Seemed to be a popular roll, the sushi chef was cranking them out one after another at $10 a pop. The spicy tuna roll was the better of the two rolls we ordered but it wasn't quite up to par with other restaurants in the area. The tuna was fresh but the spice-o-meter was barely moving. Definitely need to be cranked up a few notches. The Grilled King Crab Leg was by far the best dish of them all. It was a nice portion which we split between the two of us. As for the Miso Soup...nothing special.
By the time we were ready to leave the place was packed. It did take awhile for me to get a server to get my bill and then to get him to come back and run the credit card. No worries...it reflected in the tip [the beauty of working for tips]. I won't say the place was terrible but I don't think we'll be going back.
The sushi here is great. After having a couple bad experiences with places since moving to the area, my boss suggested this place, and it was fantastic. I went with my mom and we sat at the sushi bar. We had a bunch of sushi and rolls, and all were excellent. I've never had such fresh fish. The only complaint I have is that this kind of place ruins all other sushi places for me. A place like Blue C may have a cooler environment, but this place wins by far for taste.
I was afraid I was going to have to drive back into the city for good sushi, but thankfully I found this place a bit closer to the hotel. In fact I was very surprised to find something around Southcenter that was this good.
I sat at the sushi bar not too far from the accordion player. Service was friendly though quite busy on a weekend night. Most folks appeared to be regulars, which is always a good sign. I did take a star off because my ice tea remained empty for half of my meal.
I ordered two rolls and I have to say, I could eat a Rock N' Eel roll every day for the rest of my life. Usually with large rolls like that it's all style and no substance, but here it's a flavor bomb. I have to imagine like their Godzilla Bomb, which is an amusing sushi name that along with the kids costume masks on the wall contrasting the original sushi den decor suggests a sense of humor on behalf of someone there. I did overheard someone talking about the yellowtail being fishy tasting and not as fresh, but I didn't run into that (my other roll was a rainbow).
Really what put everything over the top was the green tea tiramisu. I love green tea ice cream and had to talk myself into getting something different and I'm glad I did. I may have to return here before I head home just to try out some more aspects of the menu. The bento box looked inviting and I regret not ordering the geoduck nigiri. I'm sure there's even fresher fare northwards, but when you're on a work trip and they book you in a hotel in a place like Renton, you tire and lose motivation quickly. This spot won't make you feel so guilty about staying down here on a weekend night.
Another great Japanese restaurant! First, our server is very friendly. Second, the ambiance is vibrant and laid-back (i know it's ironic). It's Friday night and they have this live guitar music which makes it more enjoyable. I ordered a bento box consisting of broiled mackerel and mixed tempura (miso, salad, noodles, seaweed, rice, melon balls and a slice of orange on the side). I think it tastes terrific. If you like a Japanese restaurant with no pretentions and serves a traditional Japanese cuisine, you should try this one.
The Southcenter Mall is saturated with dozens of familiar restaurant chains, but if you're looking for a truly unique experience, seek out Miyabi. It's easy to overlook -- hidden away in a strip mall -- but it's well worth the visit.
Inside you'll find a cozy atmosphere, super-friendly service, and some of the best sushi you'll ever taste in the Seattle area. My personal favorite is the Blazing Godzilla roll: a tempura-fried spicy tuna roll topped with barbecued eel. It's incredibly spicy! I've also got to recommend the Beef Teriyaki. It's so tender it almost dissolves in your mouth.
Anyway, the prices here seem appropriate -- you pay a little more for some excellent food, but never to the point where you wonder if you're being ripped off. If you're a sushi fan, you owe it to yourself to check this place out.
This was our favorite Japanese restaurant until the last experience in August 09. It appeared that the food was fried in hair. No, not one piece of hair was found, but it looked like someone had cut their hair and fried it with the Tonkatsu. When we told the waiter, he apologized without being surprise as if it had happened before. We stopped eating immediately from being so disgusted. We were not charged for the food with the hair but were charged for dinner although we didn't eat any more after seeing the hairs on the tonkatsu.
Not sure what is going on at that restaurant but it felt like it was intentional.
Sad and disgusted.
Japanese restaurant outside the International District with Japanese speaking servers, guests and (probably ) chef.
I found this place several weeks ago and have eaten here four times. I've tried the udon, ebi don, salmon teriyaki, and don katsu. Katsu was the tenderest I've had in Seattle. It was not overly greasy, yet crispy. Nearly as good as it gets. It is much better than the one at Village Sushi, which I consider to be decent and better than those of most of the other restaurants in Seattle.
Update: I went back for the katsu, and it was not as good as the first one I had. I guess the quality is not consistent.
Choices! Don't you hate it when you want to try just about everything but your stubborn organ called your tummy may be contradicting your decisions? Man!!
Really great sense of an authentic Japanese sushi bar. The decor/design plays a big factor in that. The bathroom is sweet! I doubt you'll find ANY bathroom as cool as theirs within miles from here (i was kinda surprised it was a victim to a few small "vandal scratching", too =[). Got a TV situated above the bar (itself is pretty nice but I didn't sit over there). The cupware, menu selection, etc. all great. Good descriptions.
I had an Alaskan Roll and Geisha Wrap (I wish it was cut smaller but I loved the Geisha!). I noticed on the sweet little "Japan Phrases 101" flipper, there was a Halibut Nigiri, but not on the menu... =(
Oishii!
Fresh fish in Tukwila?
Who would have thought! Miyabi offers a spanktacular array of fresh sushi, rolls and other Japanese entrees for people to enjoy.
The sushi always taste fresh, the rolls always artfully created and the bathrooms are funky fresh.
If you are visiting Tukwila and need a place to have some good food, Miyabi would be a good choice.
Tucked away in a small corner of the many mini-strip malls outlining Southcenter Mall - this sushi joint is a real find!
Great fresh fish that is oishii, exceptional service and a fun, festive atmosphere. If you work in the area this is a great alternative to many of the chain restaurants that proliferate in the area.
If you don't work or live near Southcenter I would say that this place is well worth a 20 minute drive down I-5 for some sushi and other specialities that Chef Masa San creates behind the counter.
Would have been 5 stars but the happy hour menu is pretty minimal. I HIGHLY recommend the Godzilla Roll (Spicy tuna/eel). It was amazing.
Overall, this place was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be going back here.
I don't normally trust food from the outlet strips in SouthCenter - but this place is a real diamond in the rough. My boyfriend and I ate on a Friday (or was it Saturday?) evening and even though they were very busy, we didn't have to wait for a table or our food. We ate at the bar, which is fun to do for foods like sushi, and enjoyed the LIVE violinist and low-lights that offered a pleasurable ambiance. It was a nice opposite to the environment of other sushi places like Blue C and Blue Island.
We ate a ton of great sushi, drank lots of sake and even made friends with some "regulars" from Japan.
All in all a surprisingly great evening.
I ordered takeout from here last week.
The Food
I had a spicy salmon roll, a tuna roll, their Hawaiian roll special, and a Tuna/Salmon roll (cannot recall the exact name). The fish did not taste fresh, it had a slight fishy flavor to it. I am glad I didn't get sick from it. In general, their roll selection was limited in comparesion to other sushi restaurants.
The Restaurant
The restaurant decor is very nice. The ladies room was beautifully decorated and even had a changing table for babies. The restaurant as a whole was very clean and nice decorated.
So this sushi adventure begins with a friend getting me to go to Toys-R-us....ugh...southcenter? REALLY? well...it IS Toys-R-us, I'm not driving? It's ON!!
We found ourselves in a strip-mall at lunch time...hmmm...Theres Indian food, Thai, Pho....and Sushi! Not expecting too much we agreed to sushi because neither of us had had it in a while.
First impression....The inside is ADORABLE....really well decorated, I cant believe I'm in a strip-mall! There is even pretty good jazz music playing and the guy who was our waiter was really nice and super attentive w/the water and such.
Prices were reasonable-they had a lunch special and we both went w/that....Salad, Miso soup, california roll AND spicy tuna roll for $9.25.
All of the food was good....the spicy tuna roll was actually the spiciest one I have ever eaten-which is a GOOD thing!
Its worth driving allll the way back some time-besides the good sushi and many more menu items that I want to try....hey, its free parking-and lots of it!!!
FYI.....they close from 2:00-4:00 between the lunch and dinner shift.
This place was even better the second time around. The tofu steak was the absolute best tofu dish I've ever tried. The waitstaff is attentive, quick service, piping hot food, just a great restaurant.
I chose this place from reading the reviews here and immediately knew I wouldn't be disappointed, as… Read more »
Sit down at the Sushi bar, and enjoy "Omakase" - Chef Masa San's Choice of the evening's freshest fare and delectable accompaniments. There is a spinach and mushroom salad, with roasted kabocha - delightful. Hotate (scallops) are a must. And if you are a fan of Uni (sea urchin), his presentation and the rich flavor of fresh uni is remarkable. Having travelled to Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, Toba, Hong Kong, Canada--this little gem in Tukwila, next to Toys R Us, is a satisfying, surprise!
They have a calendar of events, that included a Haute Trash Fashion Show made of Recylced Products! The owners are very passionate about making sure you have a great dining experience and a fun time. Relaxed, unhurried, reasonably priced, Miyabi is my Miyabi now.
One of my favorite restaurants around my office for lunch. They offer bento box lunch special ranging from $7 - $8. Good portion and tasty. Usually you will get few pieces of california roll, teriyaki chicken/salmon, rice, soup, and salad. I have not tried their sashimi yet so can't really rate on that but the hot food is definitely really good in my opinion.
Nice meal. Hawaiian theme week. Hard to find back of strip mall.
Every time I fly home for work, it seems that I'm always eating dinner at this Japanese restaurant.
At Miyabi, the sushi is always fresh tasting, appealing, although the past several visits the house rolls seems to have to more sauce plated on the dish than needed. Sushi is about the fish; it shouldn't be masked over by the sauce.
As a comparison to all sushi places I visit, I always get the hotate (scallop). At Miyabi, the hotate is always a good size and has the sweet taste hotate should have.
The bentos here are great deals, but tend to be too much food for me. If I'm going to stuff myself, it will be on the sushi.
I typically always get the curry udon. Udon most people think it's just a noodle, but it's so much more than that. Over-cook the udon, and the udon gets mushy; being able to handle the udon with the chopstick is the desired doneness of the udon. When eating, there should be a meaty texture when chewing it.
What's good about this udon is the curry base is exactly what it should be, a curry base that coats the back of a spoon. Not a curry flavored based like ramen, where you add water and curry flavoring...
Service is always pleasant and efficient.
The one weird thing about this place is, Saturday nights; they have an accordion player playing music. Just weird.
I always forget about this place because well I don't know why I do, I just do. It is kind of hidden in the Half Price Books strip Mall near Toys R Us so you kind of have to know it's there to find it, kind of like Bai Tong, also in the same strip mall, but once you find it and remember it's there it will probably soon become a favorite Southcenter dinning destination.
Miyabi is a good, clean Japanese restaurant with a pleasant sushi bar. I'm normally by myself when I come in here and always sit at the sushi bar, plus if I sit there I get a nice view of the TV and can watch the M's play while enjoying the soothing Japanese music playing in the background.
As soon as you're seated you are provided some edamane, it's always cold but it's free so that counteracts the coldness of the edamane for me oh and the tea is free too or else I've just never been charged for mine. I've tried quite a few of their rolls and nigiri and it's always fresh their albacore is buttery and just melts in my mouth. Their unagi is cooked perfectly and makes my mouth happy and their Rock 'n Eel with tempura unagi, crab, avocado and cream cheese is so wrong it's right and for $0.50 more you can make it spicy which makes it even more wrong and more right. Their spicy tuna is ok I'm partial to Mashiko's red violin and no other spicy tuna rolls compares, though their maguro is great by itself and so is their toro, hamachi and ebi but than again I've never had a bad ebi and I don't ever want too.
One thing I find interesting about this place is that it seems to be filled with regulars but the regulars don't seem to be locals they all seem to be here on business and eat here for lunch and dinner a few times while in town. The servers and sushi chefs always welcome them back and start making the things they know they like. If you're near Southcenter and craving sushi come here and bypass Sushiland.
I've now been to Miyabi 3 times in the last 6 months and each time has been better than the rest. Most recently, my uncle took me out for dinner there this week while he was visiting. We ordered the Chef's Special (you choose the amount - we said $35 each) of both sushi and sashimi. The result was sublime.
First they brought us the sashimi. Aside from tuna, yellowtail, and salmon, everything on the plate was a premium item and prepared with the utmost care and quality (the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail were no exception here!). Dogfish, surf clam, fatty tuna, scallops, sea bass, flounder, squid and a couple others adorned our sashimi platter. It would have been a bargain even if it had been lousy sashimi. This, gladly, wasn't the case at all - everything was choice.
I questioned the decision to bring the sashimi platter first, but my concerns were assuaged when when the sushi platter was ever fancier: sweet shrimp (they even fried the heads for us and served it as a little bonus at the end of the meal), toro-tataki, salmon roe, and 6 or 7 other excellent items. Between the two platters, there was plenty for 3 people with our order and everything was fantastic. One of the best sushi meals I've ever had and it was $70 (plus tax and tip). I've spent $85 (granted that included sake and beer) on my own and not gotten quite that assortment. Wow.
I've had two different chefs: one was definitely the more experienced, skilled of the two, but both provided an excellent experience. They have a lovely premium sake assortment, a great staff, plenty of free parking. On the downside, it's in Southcenter, so it's not the best location in the world. I won't complain about that - any failure for location is made up by the experience.
It's my sushi place to beat up in the Puget Sound region.
Great sushi for reasonable prices. Loved the gyoza that came with the bento box. Didn't try and rolls but wish I had - they looked fab!
Ok, this spot is AWESOME!!!
I'm kind of a sushi snob; having been to places like sasabune in LA will turn you this way.
Fresh sushi is priceless (well, not priceless, but I'd be willing to pay in the upwards of $50-80 for omakase for that type of sushi)
So I went here for lunch. Indecisive at first. I'm definitely not a fan of rolls in general, to me it's ALL ABOUT nigiri sushi or sashimi, basically it's all about the fish and the fish only.
I did steer away from my regular routine of just ordering from the sushi list and decided to go for the bento box with the chicken katsu and sashimi (add $1.50). The bento box came with miso soup (above average), slices of oranges, 2 piece of california roll, the chicken katsu, a little bit of the japanese salad, some cold noodles, and the sashimi (hamachi, salmon, tuna, 3 pieces of each). The chicken katsu was nice and crisp and pretty tasty. The hamachi sashimi was probably the best.
I asked if they had toro, and the sushi chef said "no sorry" "but we have the belly part of the albacore. I said "sure, let me try that."
Let me tell you, it was out of this world. SOOO good that instead of getting 2 pieces of nigiri Hamachi, I asked for 2 more albacore, same cut. The albacore literally melts in your mouth and was wonderfully fresh.
This sushi snob finally found HIS sushi place in the PNW. The freshness of the sushi is almost comparable to Sasabune in LA. Really, if you like rolls, there are plenty of places that have great value and make decent one.
Based on this first time here, I'd say run to this place and order their nigiri sushi.
I rarely travel to the Southcenter area so this sushi bar surprised me. The food was terrific and artful. Try the tempura ice cream! Vegetarians have some great selections from which to choose!
The hubster and I used to hit up Miyabi's quite a bit when we lived in the area (we have since moved South) and adored this place a lot. We became "regulars" - even before they changed management - and consumed lots and lots of sushi here. I hate to think of all the raw fish we devoured - but let me tell you, it was super fresh and tasty. ;)
We made the drive down yesterday as we had a sudden pang for Miyabi's. We ordered the geoduck with butter sauce (it was YUM!), seaweed salad, tsunomono, agedashi tofu (my beloved tofu and it was so YUM!), octopus balls, and assorted nigiri and rolls. (hamachi - yummy and fresh, surf clam, ika, shrimp tempura rolls and their crunchy california.) None of which was a disappointment.
Sadly, we noticed that they raised their prices but that's to be expected (hello, inflation!) - and their sushi is not cheap (cheap sushi? that's like an oxymoron, right?) so expect to spend about $50 or more for two. Otherwise, we still adore this place as they have spruced it up quite nicely and their (extensive) menu is awesome!
They're getting 4 stars b/c they're so far far away. I would never come to friggin Tukwila for sushi, but turns out Miyabi is pretty damn good.
The wait staff are sweethearts, the atmosphere is crazy busy, bustling w/ people and staff, and the sushi is tasty goodness.
But again, it's so. bloody. far. away.
(sigh)
Maybe if I'm down that way again I will go back.
Just ate there based on the reviews I read here.
I would agree with what the previous reviews said. I had the sukiyaki and it was very good and the ingredients fresh and tasty. The location is a little difficult to find but the food was worth the search. I would favorably compare this to any Japanese restaurant outside the confines of Seattle. Try it you'll like it.
I went to Miyabe a long time ago (apparently before they changed management) and it was good but one lunch experience was horrible and never went back. After not so great experiences with the new Blue C Sushi at Southcenter and Sushiland, I decided to give this place another shot. Our server was very nice and attentive. I got the spicy tuna bento with tonkatsu and salmon teriyaki and my friend got the sashimi combo. The salmon teriyaki was great. Spicy tuna roll was good. I tried some of the sashimi and it was nice, fresh, good color and appearance.
They give you edamame in the pod to nibble on while you wait for your food. Prices might be a smidgen high for being located in a Tukwila strip mall but the quality is much higher than Blue C Sushi (at Southcenter at least). The waitstaff is knowledgeable (probably because they were all Japanese natives) and attentive.
"Located @ the ToysRUs Plaza close to South Center Mall...a small strip of Restaurants hidden. I was very Curious, The Miyabi Restaurant caught my Eye. The location was kind odd. As I walked in, I was impressed with the Interior decor. Upon coming in I was greeted & asked if I wanted to sit at one of the tables or @ the Sushi Bar. --Off to the Sushi Bar I went. The Menu Items are not just Sushi..There was a good Array of choices..but today was Sushi Day =D
The Drink of choice was Hot Green Tea. I was almost tempted some Sake but I had to work in a few Hours which prohibited me. The servers kept refilling without me asking =)
-The Rainbow Roll that I ordered was made Nicely, it was Fresh & Tasted Yummy Goodness.
-I Concluded with Salmon nigiri & Fatty Tuna nigiri =D Both were rich and tender. They literally melted in my mouth like butter.
-The dessert I had was Fried Tempura Vanilla Ice Cream. It was presented nicely and best of all tasted wonderful. It was a nice ending, to a nice experience @ The Miyabi Restaurant."
Miyabi Restaurant is an unexpected treat and thus far, consistently five star.
In my experiences at Miyabi, the Itamae(s) and Servers are friendly, attentive, and highly skilled.
The presentations are exquisite.
The flavors are always fresh, and range from sweet and delicate, to bold, complex, and spicy.
Sapporo on tap!
It's situated in a strip mall between half price books, and toys r us, and as long as there are people who opt not to eat sushi in tukwila, in a strip mall, I'm FINE with it.
That just means there will always be a place at the bar for me. : )
We went there on a Saturday night. We thought the food was pretty good for the price and the service was good, too! We had the bento boxes which have salmon, chicken, sashmi and tampura. - we liked them all; we specially liked the miso soup - very tasty! There was an accordion player playing that night which we thought was pretty interesting. Apparently they have different types of music playing there throughout the week. Good food for what you pay for.
It's a little expensive, but well worth the price for the, say, giant udon and tofu (with chicken) soup and a California bento box along with the delicious tea. In addition, a huge plus was the relatively hushed atmosphere. The place was quite full, including several Japanese groups (always a good sign at a Japanese restaurant), but I was still able to speak at a reasonable level and hear my dinner partner. That's a wonderful find these days.
That was about two days ago, and I have just now finished the leftover soup (it was a little too heavily seasoned with shiitake mushroom for my taste, but still edible). Service was friendly and good.
THE PLACE:
I love sushi and lived in the bay area for 5 years and it had lots of good sushi places.
Now that i live in the Seattle area it took me a while to find a good Sushi place, but i finally found one.
It's a little hard to find, right next the Southcenter Toys R US, and the half-price book store(good store).
It's a medium size restaurant with simple/clean Japanese style (odd bathrooms though!).
THE FOOD:
First i ordered a spider roll(soft shell crab) a favorite of mine, that was good though i've had better.
Then i ordered an assortment of Sushi, and the fish is where Myabi really shines.
The pieces of fish on the sushi, where thickly cut and very fresh and tasty, melts in your mouth, a sign of fresh sushi.
The best pieces of Sashimi I've had in WA state so far, on par with some of the best Bay Area offering.
CONCLUSION:
If you like Sushi/Sashimi (the fish), then you should definitely try this place. Rolls are OK too, haven't tried very many yet.
Price is reasonable, maybe a bit pricey, but for the size/quality of the sashimi you get, it's definitely worth it.
