miyabi sushi

some of the best sushi and service in the seattle area.

kicked out of restaurant?. unbelievable. i have never been kicked out of a restaurant - until this place. after eating sushi with 3 friends in less than 30 minutes - we were asked by the waiter to "please vacate the restaurant" because of their long wait line. what the heck? did we not wait to be seated?

what really burns me is they waited until after we paid the bill with tip before asking us to leave. i will never go back to this place again - and i hope you don't either. you have been warned and fore warned.

if not sushi-you're hosed. i guess if i had ordered the sushi maybe the experience would be different. came in on a thursday evening on a recommendation from my hotel and the place wasn’t really busy. asked for a table but the wait staff said they had reservations coming in and would i mind sitting at the sushi bar. not great but a basketball game was on so i could manage. i was not in the mood for sushi, so i ordered some yakitori and yakisobi. and i waited and i waited.
30 minutes later no food and no one checking on me. i did not even know who my waitress was since the girl who got my tea had disappeared. i was dropped off the radar. all the while the owners were doing some sort of decorating and renovations behind me that really was annoying. finally got fed up, dropped a couple of bucks for my ice tea and left. found a decent teriyaki place a few miles down the road so the evening wasn’t a total bust.

best sushi hands down! this placeboes everything right! tuna poke was incredible! must try the mt. rainier!!! soooo goood!

good sushi. i really enojyed my visit to miyabi and plan to come back again. the seaweed salad was great (i missed it). the sushi was also great and i want to try more of the rolls. i tried the tempura ice cream for the first time. i was impressed and cannot wait to take my husband here when we come into town. will be back for more.

very fresh. highly recommend the nigiri sockeye salmon with house ponzu sauce! hamachi was fresh.
nice touch with the complimentary edamame and warm towelette. very friendly and timely service.

ambiance of restaurant sets miyabi apart from the mall competition. the seattle area's population of asians and foodies guarantees a wealth of good japanese restaurants. run a google search of popular seattle-area sushi restaurants and you'll see listings of joints in the international district, downtown, belltown, queen anne, wallingford, madison valley and university district.

people in south seattle know of a hidden gem: miyabi restaurant in tukwila. granted, one is tempted to look past an eatery in the parkway square strip mall with toys "r" us and jared jewelry. miyabi draws lunch-time office workers and shoppers and families for dinner.

i don't eat sushi, but others tell me miyabi's offerings are good. i prefer the entree offerings -- pork tonkatsu, tempura udon or soba -- for which i'll offer a stamp of approval.

what really sets miyabi apart from the hipster competitors up north is the ambiance of the tukwila eatery. the little touches like the modest flat stones upon which the chopsticks rest scream out cool. the decor is remarkable. the redo of the restroom -- the kitschy wallpaper and basin sink -- had me wishing that i could remodel my bathroom and hire miyabi's designer.

miyabi's entertainment sets it apart from other japanese restaurants in the area. a man playing a concertina with italian, french and japanese tunes entertains on saturday evenings. special events include a "trash fashion show" in which models don wardrobes made of phone books, wine corks, and other disposable items.

the best (or worst) aspect of miyabi is that it's located next to a half price books. if you haven't spent enough money on sushi and sake, you could undoubtedly drop a few more dollars on used books and albums.

i love their greentea tiramisu!!!

miyabi rocks!. miyabi is the best sushi bar in the seattle area, period. all due respect to the plethora of good sushi bars in the pacific northwest, but i give miyabi the top nod based on these critical facts:

super fresh fish - that's a must. miyabi breaks down most of their fish in house, this is a big deal

traditional and modern preparations - miyabi stays true to authentic tried and true sushi preparations that taste just like you are in tokyo or osaka yet tries to stay in front of the new sushi curve by constantly offering unique and forward thinking preparations

and of course the ambience - miyabi is fun, fresh & funky. the sushi chefs masa & antonio are friendly, funny and great chefs.

try miyabi, it's awesome!

the real deal. we are regulars here. my favorite is the curry udon. sushi is great also. awesome decor, top service. i heard some japanese baseball player owns the restaurant. i was taught that to spot a good restaurant, see if it is busy during the weekday. well, they stay busy all week.

great sushi, great service, pricey but i guess you have to pay for qualty sushi. i had the godzila roll and the samon sunrise, both were awsome. two big hands on the belly.

this is a small sushi place, with a simple menu, however the service os great and so far it's the best sushi i've had since my move to washington!!

nice little restaurant. the food's really good and is fairly cheap. the sushi is very fresh, and they have good service. the have a good list of drinks too. i really like the fried ice cream.

thanks to a restaurant location application on my handy-dandy g1 phone, i've been wanting to try miyabi sushi for several weeks. unfortunately, every time i got the hankering it was sunday and they weren't open. after the oriental spoon sushi encounter, i

i'm fond of this restaurant but the price is far too high. if it were cheaper, i'd visit the location much more often.
