Miyabi Japanese Restaurant

This is a steadily balanced Japanese restaurant. The setting reminded me of small restaurants in Japan, which is quite fit for the setting. The quality of the food is good, as it had solid quality for typical Japanese dishes (especially for dishes other than sushi or sashimi), though it is not particularly outstanding. I would recommend the Shyokado Bento.

On a Saturday afternoon with only two tables of customers, they managed to make us wait 45 minutes for two delux bento boxes. After 40 min of waiting I asked the waiter if the food was arriving and she said we have to prepare food for the other table first and then it’s your turn.

Charging 38.99 for a box, the food was mediocre. The only good thing was the tempura.
Will Never return

I really wanted to like this place, but found it over priced, with very small portions and slow service. We went for lunch. We were initially the only customers there, which should have been a sign. The waitress was very sweet and nice, but paying $20 for a tempura bento box with such little food, was definitely not worth it. I'm sad to say that I cannot recommend it and will not come back. I will say that the shrimp were large and I did see there was a BOGO deal after we left so I bumped my review up one star to three stars.

Haven't been here in many years! Very nostalgic, food and service are still very good! Just as I remember it. Very reasonable prices in this inflationary world. Will continue to come back for sure.

Food was excellent. Price fair.

Way too slow, talking 40 minutes for 2 people. It has 1 server and 1 chef. So table service is rare anytime there is more than 2 tables being used.

I would return to this restaurant again but only if I ordered ahead. The food was very good after all.

My partner and I had a great dinner experience at Miyabi Japanese Restaurant. The restaurant is run by Chef Arasaki, who was working behind the sushi bar. The waitresses at front of the house were excellent, providing a warm welcome and ensured all guests were well taken care of. Each piece of sushi and hand roll was made to order and was very fresh. As there was only one person making the sushi, the food may take a bit longer, but this ensures the freshness and quality of each dish. This is not a restaurant for a quick bite but rather an enjoyable dinner out. We certainly enjoyed our experience here and would recommend those looking for a delicious sushi night to come to Miyabi.

Authentic decor. Not your cookie cutter bento box, which is nice. Some sushi fell apart upon pick up. Should come more specialized items like bluefin toro and lobster sashimi.

We were looking for a quick bite to eat at a restaurant in Richmond Hill and found Miyabi on maps. It was 6pm on a Tuesday, and there was only one or two other small tables when we walked in. Everything is a little pricey, typical for an a la carte Japanese restaurant, so don't expect to spend any less than $20-30 a person.

We got a karaage appetizer to share. I got the nabeyaki udon, which came with tempura and my partner got the yakiniku dinner. The food took a really long time to come out and the portion sizes were just okay. The karaage really wasn't worth it though. It was 4 small pieces of chicken for $11 :( They also didn't have any mayo so it was a little dry and flavourless. The udon itself was good - especially the broth - but coming with only one shrimp tempura and a bunch of vegetables couldn't really justify the cost of $18. The yakiniku was just ok.

The waitress was really nice though and I'm sure if we had gotten sushi or other fish dishes, our experience would have been a lot better. I'll opt for other options!
