Miyako Sushi Visited 4/9/10 3.5 Forks

Miyako 143 Berry St(between 5th St & 6th St)


It seems like Miyako has been around Williamsburg forever. In my opinion, I don't think that there are a lot of quality sushi places in the 'hood. I think this is a pretty solid go-to place that isn't mind blowing but won't really let you down. They offer a good selection of speciality platters but we usually end up going more a la carte.

We started with edamnae ($3.50) and split the sashimi B ($18.95) and had the Love Roll 2 and Sunny roll (each around $8-9). The sashimi had a good selection of fishes, pretty safe types of fish: 4 pieces of salmon, 4 pieces tuna, 3 pieces white tuna, 3 pieces yellowtail, and 3 pieces white fish. They were all pretty fresh and tasted good and I liked that they didn't go too crazy with mackerel or octopus. I feel like those types of raw fish needs to come from a very nice/fresher place in order for them to really taste good. The love roll had a bit too much rice in it for me, but in a way that was good b/c it helped fill us up a bit more. The love roll had salmon, tuna, avocado and was in the shape of an oval. The sunny roll had spicy tuna, and was wrapped in tuna on the outside and had avocado as well. The restaurant is always busy and packed, so the service can be a bit spotty. All in all, it's a solid place to go for sushi in the 'hood but it's definitely not for those expecting fancy quality sushi.
