There is not better artistic cuisine in the entire state than Miya's. The menu, which reads like a novel, is both entertaining and challenging, incorporating ingredients that you would never think go well together but does. You just have to go there.

I was not truly prepared for the selection on the menu. I have eaten sushi many times in many places, this was different. My taste buds enjoyed an explosion of flavors and combinations I would never have thought of under the guise of sushi. Though not any inexpensive meal, one well worth enjoying and taking others to. My one criticism is the available drink menu. The availability of some less exotic saki and or beer would have been desireable. Our waitress knew the entire menu by heart and was very helpful. An asside comment, though tall, she kneeled down to our level while explaining the menu and looked us in the eye.
Pros: The FOOD
Cons: high priced, drink selection

I don't know which to rave about first - the food or the bathrooms at Miso.
If you like sashimi (or sushi), the highest quality fish and chefs in New Haven are found at Miso. The rest of the menu is perfectly adequate for those who get squeamish eating uncooked foods, but the sashimi is as close to perfection as I've ever had except for the one time I went to Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant in Philly. Funny story about that...when he comes to New Haven, apparently he eats at Miso! Check out their website.
It's not just the great food, though. The restaurant itself is gorgeous - very artfully designed without being too intimidating. You can stop in for lunch in jeans or arrive for dinner dressed to the teeth...you'll be taken in by your surroundings and put at ease - even the restrooms are beautiful!
A bit pricey during dinner by New Haven standards - though well worth it - but their lunch menu is very reasonable.

Miso Japanese restaurant is really great sushi. They have the standards on their menu. The restaurant has a comfortable feel to it and you have to check out the women's bathroom. It is just amazing! The bathroom is worth the visit alone!!

FYI - They do not let you say certain keywords here so I am replacing the appropriate term with "Norwalk Virus".
Usually my girlfriend writes her own reviews, but she is sick with Norwalk Virus from the chicken tempura she had tonight at Akasaka - So I, her boyfriend will do the review for her.
First off the obvious: After hardly eating all day, we went out for dinner here, she had Chicken Tempura (which is now down the toilet due to Norwalk Virus) and I had the standard sushi combo. Both came with an iceberg lettuce salad with hardly any taste, luckily it was smothered with dressing (sarcasm). About half of the sushi on the plate was fresh, the rest a little suspect. The ginger and wasabi were the heavily food colored/loaded with msg type. The decor in the place is nice enough, although the accents seem like they were picked out by some frat house guys from a shop like Bombay in the mall. The waitstaff don't speak English, as we were asked 4 times if we ordered a Strawberry Daquiri. When I called to report the Norwalk Virus I was hung up on, so I drove back in person. After I was lied to and told that there was no manager, and that someone might call me, I began to raise my voice and suddenly a manager appeared. At first he refused to refund the dinner, stating that the food was fine. I tried to be cordial for nearly 5 minutes. It wasn't until I nearly went into an all out rage, threatening to call the h-e-a-l-t-h dept and file a department of homeland security report (INS) for staffing illegal employees that they finally refunded the dinner. I was scolded for being loud by a fat shape-shifting blob of a man at the sushi bar (I would have liked to hospitalize him, but he was with children), while others in the place seemed concerned that they might fall ill as well.
For heaven's sake do not go here!
Pros: None
Cons: Food, service, management, everything basically
