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

unpretentious, culinary experience. If you are into food that is as creative and unusual as it is deliciously accessable, Miya's Sushi is your kind of place. Be sure to ask lots of questions about their menu because the waiters love to talk about it. A New York Times review wrote that Miya's Sushi is one of the best restaurants in the state, for good reason.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Controversies about the philosophies of this place can be easily found on-line. The kaiseki dinner @ $30 per person on Wednesdays gets a definite "yes" from me. However, I am torn about this not using vinegar in sushi rice business. I was wondering what makes the sushi from this place so bland, and now I know why. Other than that quirky tidbit, the food is experimental and fun. If you like hot sauce, you'd definitely be intrigued by their spread. Bun Lai has the personality to make this New Haven classic running. His mother is also a definite plus. She chats with customers (who she treats like family), giving them tips on gardening, etc. Great place to hang out if you're a grad student in the area. May be a bit too informal for some. Try it and find out! Pros: kaiseki dinner @$30 Cons: no vinegar in sushi rice

We love Miyas Kisekae dinners. For roughly $30.00 you get an entourage of dishes specially prepared by the excellent chef Bun Lai! Its best to call ahead to reserve the Kisekae. All you can eat, has never been this exquisite. The dishes have been different each time weve gone, and its great to know that the chef is creating all these dishes fresh, while you are sitting at your table. Take a minute break from sipping your hot sake to watch, youll see Bun Lai running between the sushi counter and the kitchen working up a sweat to serve up the most unique and flavorful dishes weve seen here in Connecticut. Hes truly an artist when it comes to cuisine. If you want to give yourself a treat in exceptionally creative and beautifully presented dishes, try the Kisekae for yourself and a date or friend. You wont be disappointed! Pros: Great presentation, Friendly service Cons: Hard to find parking, Slow waitstaff
