miyake

my favorite place for sushi. love the newrestaurantin the portland harbor hotel block. best sushi i have ever eaten. the lobster roll and hamachi are the most fabulous items on the menu. now you can order booze too. love, love, love it here

miyake- worst service. after reading several reviews, we decided to go to miyake for lunch. after looking at the menu, we had a few questions. a waitress named kristin came over to our table to take our order. her attitude towards our questions was appalling. she rolled her eyes, made sarcastic comments and had a general pathetic attitude. i was more than a little shocked but still ordered our food. however after she left, after discussing kristin's attitude towards us, we canceled our order and left the restaurant.

i have lived in nyc for the past 12 years and have never come across such attitude. we complained to the manager. i just hope that the owner is aware of how his customers were treated. even one time is too many!

its a shame that arestaurantthat serves "masterful food" has a horrible waitress. nothing is worth being treated with such disrespect. i hope the owner is reading this review.

we really love his tasting menu, but its more of a japaneserestaurantthan a sushi restaurant. i had foie gras with red beets tonight. not what you'd expect, but was really well prepared.

this is not a review on miyake but on his noodle bar. i believe that there is one item worth your trip, the sticky buns. they were described once to me as a big mac glorified. this is true! juicy, gooey and a wonderful treat. however i, too, have had dishes arrive all at once. cluttering the small table making it a race to eat while everything's still hot. i am a foodie who eats regularly in town though my pocket isn't stuffed with cash! making my choices on where i chose to spend that money is very important! let's just say i have chosen to spend my cash elsewhere... i do very much hope this place will live up to the hype! i do very much love miyake's sushirestaurantand can't wait to try the new location! but i have been disappointed with his noodle bar thus far.

no hot tea? really?. the only asianrestaurantin the history of the world that doesn't serve hot tea (or any hot drinks, even warm sake). the food was outstanding (sushi was fresh and miso soup rich and flavorful), but would love to see some nice green or herbal teas as a choice.
