They have the BEST nigiri. Don't take my word for it. You must try for yourself. |
Miyabi Sushi is on another level with sushi that's so delicious, you won't think twice when figuring out whether you like it or not. Miyabi is your ticket to Flavortown and is arguably the best sushi in Reno.
Carefully crafted with the best ingredients and in a way that's perfectly balanced, their sushi is out of this world and should not be missed. I would imagine a restaurant like this in San Francisco so busy, they would always be booked out ahead of time.I love that their menu isn't busy compared to other restaurants with a limited selection of rolls, but includes enough options that highlights their amazing fresh fish and is more than enough to leave you satisfied and wanting more. A fellow Yelper got to chat it up with the chef and found out that he will be adding new concocotions in the future.
You'll also find ramen options, well-known hot plates (chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, pork tonkatsu), appetizers, combination platters (different combinations of rolls+nigiri), and desserts. I cannot tell you how excited I am for the day I get to try everything else.
I went here yesterday to celebrate my dear dad's birthday and the chef was more than willing to create another delicious vegetarian roll on top of the amazing Vege roll already on the menu to accommodate his dietary needs.
Every single item we ordered was so good. The nigiri was the best I've had in town, with little toppings on some that highlighted the fish. I am excited to try their Toro (fatty tuna) and uni (sea urchin) when available. The server, Selena, said they get their food in around Tuesday, so I'll make sure to get there in time to catch them. The appetizers were nicely presented and were top-notch in quality. The Fire Ocean and Ryu (dragon) were addictive. Even my father's vegetarian rolls were the bomb!
Miyabi is unlike all of the other sushi restaurants in town, offering all you can eat. I am guessing that because they don't offer this option, they can focus on providing the best quality of food without losing profit. I am a person that lives for food and will sacrifice some new clothing and such to be able to buy some good quality food and Miyabi is the type of restaurant I would do that for. Haha.
Their restaurant was previously Bap cafe (Korean rice bowls), which I will miss dearly, but I'm glad to know they still have a location downtown.
The inside was nice and clean, with four tables that each seat four, a bar area that seats four, two tables outdoors that each seat four-five, and a few random bar tables around the restaurant that seat two-three.
The ambiance was great, with cool instrumental music of the biggest hits on the radio playing in the background. Outdoor seating is available and service was nice and friendly. Our server, Selena, was so patient and kind with my three little kids (2, 5, and 6 years old) who were a little rusty with their manners due to covid.
From start to finish, everything me and my family ordered was outstanding and we are so excited to be coming back for more. If you're into sushi, do yourself a favor and come on in before the secret gets out.
Parking is plentiful and they close during their transition to dinner at 2pm. I believe they open back at 4pm, but I will need to call to double-check.
