Miyagi Sushi & Hibachi

FOOD

The seared nigiri section is the most interesting place to begin the dinner menu. Hamachi comes with kizami wasabi, while albacore pairs crunchy garlic with cilantro. Furi Salmon uses Japanese mayo and furikake; seared saba gets momiji oroshi, green onion and ponzu.

Sushi tacos offer another appealing departure from a roll. The dinner selection includes Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon, Eel Kani and Seared Salmon Mango, with upright folded shells presented in wooden holders. A taco and a few pieces of nigiri make a manageable opening order before anyone commits to a whole specialty roll.

For that roll, the Fat Boy is a substantial candidate. Snow crab, cream cheese and avocado go into a whole-roll katsu preparation, finished with cilantro, masago, eel sauce and honey wasabi. The Miyagi roll combines snow crab, avocado, cilantro and shrimp tempura, topped with seared salmon, eel sauce and green onion. Both deserve space on the table. Ordering one first leaves a much better chance of appreciating the second.

Golden Bridge is another cooked option, with salmon tempura, Japanese mayo, masago and snow crab. If those layered preparations aren’t what you’re after, dinner also includes a nigiri and sashimi selection featuring tuna, salmon, hamachi and albacore, along with octopus and surf clam. These let you concentrate on individual fish and seafood choices rather than the ingredients of a larger roll. Keep dinner’s sashimi selection in mind when choosing between the two meal menus.

Pepper tuna carpaccio and albacore tataki broaden the fish dishes further. Hamachi Chili is also listed, with a limit-one marking; otoro nigiri carries a similar restriction. Hamachi kama is first-come, limited to one per table. They’re finite additions to the AYCE dinner, so build the meal around the regular selections and ask about the limited dishes when ordering. The menu gives you plenty to enjoy even if a particular item has run out.

The hot kitchen is worth a proper order of its own. Chicken karaage, pork gyoza and agedashi tofu sit alongside shrimp and vegetable tempura. Hibachi steak, beef ribs and squid give cooked-food diners more substantial choices, while baked mussel, scallop and salmon dishes add more cooked seafood choices.

For a finish, dinner lists Tempura Oreo and coffee cake as well as green tea, red bean, vanilla and Superman ice cream. Ice cream is limited to one serving per person. Green tea or red bean might be an easy decision. Tempura Oreo makes the conversation more interesting.
