Miyabi Sushi

Been going here for a couple years. It’s a decent sushi spot. Lately I been feeling like the customer service has been cold and neglective. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

1 star, only for the lunch special value.
This was my second time here and it was just bad. We ordered 4 lunch special bentos — 3 #22s and 1 #28 (?), and a lion king roll. Miso soup was saltier than other ones I’ve had. Salad was watery and my bf tasted something rotten in it and lost his appetite (probably old lettuce). Chicken teriyaki was decent. Tempura could’ve been better — the batter was coming off before we even touched it. Rice portions are smaller. The worst part was the lion king roll. We were halfway done with our bento boxes before it arrived and it was burnt af. The roll itself was small for what it was priced at — $ 12.95 (?). We asked to have it refunded and the waitress seemed super stressed out and frustrated and upset when we asked. But she kept asking if we would order something else and pushing us to have the sushi roll replaced instead of refunded. It took 3 people to tell her we didn’t want the lion king roll and we didn’t want to be charged for it. She took the roll to the back and we saw her talking to the sushi chef, possible owner, and another worker about it like they were confused as to why we didn’t want it. The customer service was so bad — she didn’t know how to handle the situation. So basically, you get what you pay for.

Fabulous sashimi: Perfect salmon and tuna. Rich miso soup. Great service (thanks, Danny). Fine salads. Edamame needed some salt.

Attending a friends art book signing at BebeBar in the Castro on 18^th/​Church Street… home to a version of the Acia bowl. Generally speaking I keep up with cultural trends and food developments but somehow the Acia bowl slipped through my loose knit sieve of consciousness. Yep, hate to admit it but, the Acia bowl is one phenom that has slipped through those ample gaps. Applause, I suppose for an immigrant with blond dreadlocks to create this joint, slicing fruit and dumping granola on yogurt with some «Acia» infusion. Yay! … I guess.
Didn’t want a bowl of granola with wilted fruit for dinner supposedly made with the all mysterious and rare acia, so ventured out walking up Church Street toward Market Street. Passing a few folks hunkered down in their sleeping bags.
Anyhoo, 2 of us landed at Miyabi:
Waitress: cold, impartial, maybe disinterested, when done eating had that «how much is my tip» look on her stoic face.
Food: The combo dinner, my sashimi was tough (a new experience for me),. the bad cuts of a low priced slab of fish. Tempura fried in oil from the Edo period. Salad from a bag with a pungent unidentifiable dressing. Dinner guest with a safe and sane version of a bento, Teriyaki chicken. Sugar must have been on sale when they decided to make this syrupy concoction they called Chicken Teriyaki. They might try to make a new desert sensation the «protein enhanced» sweet desert — «Sweet Chicken», which most certainly would be a hit in the Castro.
The joint is close to Market Street, so… I gotta say, there were quite a few folks with happy faces, eating @ Miyabi on a date. Other diners who threw caution to the wind and wondered in, like we did.
Shulda gone for the Acia Bowl, and called it a night.

This place is a classic sort of neighborhood sushi spot. There is nothing fancy but the rock solid execution on sushi and AMAZING genial service from Danny made me feel like I was in one of the world’s finest restaurants. Coming back asap.

A cozy neighborhood restaurant with a friendly service. The food is mediocre though. The edamame was delicious but everything else lacked flavor. Wakame salad tasted funny and was borderline edible. Miso soup didn’t have much flavor. Sushi was ok as the fish was not as fresh as it could be. It was a bit frozen in one roll (squid) and the yellow tail was a bit fishy. It’s ok if you want a quick bite but I probably won’t come back.

Great food at reasonable prices! My combination dinner of sashimi (3 kinds, 2 slices each), tempura and gyoza was $ 17. Other places in town charge $ 20 to 30 for the same thing. The quality was great. Simpler, quieter, and more casual than the sleek, modern sushi joints cropping up in recent years.

Needed to quench a mid-​day craving for some good ol’ sushi. Ended up getting the chirashi and it was hearty, varied, and delicious. The fish was overall fresh and pretty good but certainly not as succulent and melt-​in-​your mouth as more well-​known sushi places in the city. If you’re hankering for solid, satisfying (but admittedly not mind-​blowing) sushi, Miyabi is a good spot to be.

Do NOT use Eat24 app! Was told estimated pickup to be 10 minutes and have not received food almost 3p minutes later. Call restaurant directly

The food and service here is amazing. Danny was extremely attentive and gave our table the best advice on items to order. I had the veggie udon– it was the absolute perfect meal for a cloudy cool evening. We had sake and thoroughly enjoyed the great selection of Japanese beers. We finished off with green tea ice cream for dessert. I’m basically an addict for green tea everything and by far this was the best green tea ice cream ever. We will definitely come back here soon.

Consistently great sushi and open LATE! Our favorite server Danny is a hoot and provides excellent service. He even sends us a text when Uni is available. Great place for lunch on a budget.

I had the Titanic role and was very satisfied. I’ve had this item at several different restaurants and I’d say Miyabi ranks among the top third of sushi places I’ve been to.

Went to this location along with the one near Fisherman’s Wharf.
It’s decent and inexpensive

With nothin to do on a Saturday night we wandered into Miyabi in search of a quick snack; we ended up stuffing our faces.
We told our server, Danny, that our friend was visiting from out of town so he made sure we were all well taken care of. He hooked us up with edamame, hot sake and miso soup. Danny was all smiles and made our quick detour a memorable one.
The Hawaiian roll, basically a spicy tuna roll, was $ 4.50 and super fresh. The Godzilla roll was $ 9.00 and tasty. After miso soup, edamame, a Hawaiian roll, a Godzilla roll, jalapeño poppers, 3 large hot sakes and beer our bill was only $ 50. Such a steal.
Will definitely came back if not for the sushi for our new bestie Danny.

I always get the California Roll and Ebi Nigiri because it always taste fresh and that’s always great. I would definitely try out more of the menu in the future!
I’ve gotten the bento once and it was really delicious, huge portions, under $ 10. Definitely worth it!

Great, convenient location on Church near muni. Came in right at opening for lunch and the place was empty. Sat at the bar. The staff is quite friendly. 5 stars for the staff!
Had the Sushi Lunch, which was a little over $ 10. Comes with miso soup, 5 pc house choice nigiri, and 3 pc California roll. Miso soup was standard. Nigiri was fresh, the salmon especially good. California roll was good. I was still hungry so I ordered unagi. Sweet and warm, a nice ending for my meal. Altogether with tax and tip my lunch was $ 21. I would consider this place affordable and decent quality. I will definitely be back again when I crave sushi on the way home.

Terrific Sushi restaurant near the Castro.
Always fresh and delicious food. Good value and wonderful service.

*This is a review based on just delivered orders*
I’ve been getting delivery from here for a couple of weeks via Door Dash and have had nothing but good experiences. They have a lunch sushi combo with a spicy tuna and Cali roll for $ 8.50 (through DD) that also comes with miso soup. Order’s have always been made as specified in the notes and timed well so that even after my delivery driver gets it to me, it is still warm.
I hope to make it to the actual b&m one day but until then, I’ll definitely continue ordering to go!

Completely respectable, relatively inexpensive sushi place in the Castro. I don’t know if I’d make a special trip from another neighborhood to come here, but you could definitely do a lot worse. In this same neighborhood.
A reasonable compromise between price and quality. It’s good (not amazing) and it’s reasonably priced (not expensive).

3.5 stars in reality
Crispy and tasty chicken teriyaki, nice amount and taste of sashimi with the dinner combo and the miso soup was pretty good surprisingly. The salad, the rolls and the service were… mediocre. Not my favorite but not too bad. Plus, at least it was affordable.
