Review Miyabi Restaurant - Richmond Hill

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!

Halibut Sushi... the best sushi I had ever had! Yes... everything else is great too, like the chilled tofu, and grilled mackerel.

Great sushi take out expirence great quality a little more pricey but if you take advantage of the 20% off cash only order a day ahead its great. Very friendly service looking forward to my next visit.

You must check this place out! Be it for takeout or for dining in. I have been a customer for almost TWO decades now and their service and food has never disappointed 🥺

I read online that this is an authentic place with a talented chef at the helm. While this may very well be true, the takeout I got to experience today disappointed me. Too much rice which did not taste all that good, not enough filling, and mediocre overall taste left me unimpressed. In my humble opinion, nothing beats Ichiban Fish House (9425 Leslie St) - my favourite sushi joint in Markham.

Miyabi is a hidden gem. The Bluefin Tuna is so delicious. The udon has a great broth. Nice, old school style Japanese restaurant. Great service, very attentive and quick. Servers couldn’t be nicer.

Sadly, the longest service for the regular food. We figured that ordering sushi here makes sense time wise. We ordered complete dinners and it took over an hour something that would take me 15-17 minutes to do at home. Very upsetting.

Great authentic Japanese restaurant. We have been coming here for years. A very casual dining space with two small private rooms Super friendly service, great variety of food (along with daily specials) and everything is so fresh and delicious. They even have party trays for take out orders. I believe the prices are justified for the quality of food. The sushi deluxe is $29 and comes with 11 pcs sushi and 6 pcs maki which is very good!
