Food was good I got the steak and shrimp Bento box. I ordered extra shrimp and never received extra shrimp. The size of the shrimp was very small. The noodles i ordered was spaghetti not chow main noodles. Veggies slightly over cooked. But the meal was satisfying and for the price was a good value.

This may be more of a weekday or dinner venue, as we were the only patrons throughout lunch. This tapas-inspired restaurant offers both small plates and entrées. We ordered: * Sophia's Shrimp ($13): Parmesan-breaded shrimp with Colombian tartar sauce. * Beet Salad ($14): Baby arugula, shaved fennel, goat cheese brûlée, lemon-infused vinaigrette, candied walnuts, and crispy shallots. * Ay Caramba ($16): A vegetarian tapa packed with corn, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and more. * Oriental Salmon Special ($34): Teriyaki-glazed salmon with rice. Reactions were mixed. One diner liked the salmon, and another enjoyed the accompanying rice. I found the salmon a little fishy. The Ay Caramba, the standout dish on our first visit, was prepared differently this time, and we didn't enjoy it as much. One diner thought Sophia's Shrimp was good; another found it too heavily breaded and a little dry. The beet salad was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. However, a loud noise from the bar, apparently from making or crushing ice, continued for several minutes while we were eating. It was disruptive enough that I eventually stood up and asked them to stop. With only one occupied table, this should have been done before opening or after we left. We also had to track down our waitress to get the check which I found a little annoying, as the place was empty. Overall, we were less impressed on this visit. If we return, perhaps we'll try some different dishes.

Been to Mikiya in CA, which has a bit more elevated ambiance & feel but the food and quality is the same. Service was phenomenally efficient, respectful, and great! Come hungry, leave happy :)

It was my first time returning to Mikiya since going for their grand opening about a year or two…read moreago. This time I decided to go for late lunch & experienced no wait time. We got the silver set, which comes with American and Australian wagyu meat options. We opted for this one because it includes the seafood platter, vegetable platter, and choice of one of the following specialty dishes: wagyu tartare with chips, sweet shrimp sashimi, bone marrow, & wagyu nigiri. We decided to each get the wagyu tartare. For broths, we did half sukiyaki and half spicy miso. I think next time I will just get only sukiyaki though because it is so good! We ended up just cooking everything in the sukiyaki broth. The pasteurized eggs are amazing in this broth btw! For all of the AYCE options, you get unlimited drinks + tea, seasonal fruit, ice cream, sauce bar, pasteurized eggs, ground wagyu, wagyu curry, and can order appetizers off their appetizer menu. For appetizers, we ordered seaweed salad, eel nigiri, chicken karaage, & fried shumai. They all tasted as expected, so we were happy about that. I enjoyed the ground wagyu! It was tasty and even tastier after adding in some garlic & chili peppers. Wagyu tartare looked and tasted very fresh. I think if it had some more citrus, it would've been even better. Because raw beef doesn't really have that much of a taste and I think some more lime would complement this well! The seafood platter was awesome. My favorites were the lobster tail, fresh abalone, scallops, and oysters. Amazing! I would say the only thing that I didn't like from my recent visit was the vegetable platter. It had great variety BUT I wasn't have that some of the veggies they gave us were not properly cleaned. Make sure to inspect the vegetables!! The watercress and bok choy still had some dirt on them. But everything else was fine. I always inspect everything before eating (anywhere) but I especially make sure to inspect watercress because it's known to be pretty dirty. For meats, we mainly stuck with the Australian wagyu chuck ribeye! It is my favorite cut from this set. Overall, I'd come back again! I think it's a great place to go for hotpot & is different from your typical Chinese hotpot experience. The silver set is the best to get in my opinion because you get a little bit of everything & to be honest, I don't think you can really taste the difference of the different wagyus (American vs Australian vs Japanese) unless it's being grilled.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so there is limited seating. We were seated at the bar, so we got to see the udon being made, which was fun! The service was quick and attentive. I got the spicy hot niku udon and it was delicious. The udon was chewy and the perfect consistency. The beef was thin and tender. Lastly, the spicy broth really brought it all together. If you're a spice lover, I would recommend this item! 10/10 When we wrapped up, there was a long wait. I recommend coming for an early dinner, but the line also looks like it moves fast because they turn tables so quickly.

Tl;dr Excellent, chewy udon and fantastic flavors, but service staff needs some better training…read more We came on a Wednesday night for two and had no wait, which was a great start. Having been here twice now, getting the spicy cold beef udon and their special tantan udon is definitely the way to go (made the mistake of getting the soup udon the first time). The udon itself goes without saying. It is thick, super chewy, and cooked just to the right softness. The cold beef udon was perfect--the sauce has a great blend of flavors and is portioned correctly. The tantan was an interesting take that is different from typical Chinese tantan flavors, making it unique to their style. The main issue was the service flexibility. I asked for no cilantro on the tantan, and the server said they couldn't accommodate that request because they wanted to serve it the way the chef intended. This was ridiculous considering the cilantro was simply piled right on top rather than blended into a sauce or salsa. In the end, it was just a waste of time having to pick it all out myself. The best part was the table next to us were able to customize their bowl. The noodles and cold beef udon are outstanding, but untrained staff really changed the mood of the night.

But it adds character…read more Food: We worked our way through an embarrassment of handrolls--duck foie gras, A5 Miyazaki wagyu tenderloin, miso butter cod, spicy scallops--each one a small, precise argument for why these two culinary traditions (Japanese-French) belong together. The toro and foie gras was exactly what they should be: quietly devastating. But surprisingly the dish that stopped the world for me was the duck risotto. Rich, deeply savory, the kind of thing that makes you go quiet mid-bite. I will be back for it. Probably soon. I'm mentally drooling already just thinking about it. Drinks: The wintermelon milk punch clarified cocktail is worth ordering on concept alone and then delivers on execution too. A Sancerre alongside the handrolls? Correct decision, no notes. Service was warm and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere is genuinely inviting. And then there are the Labubu dolls. Rows of them. Overhead. Staring. I have no idea what they're doing there and I respect that no one felt the need to explain it. It works, somehow, in the way that only truly confident restaurants can get away with inexplicable décor choices. One soft critique: the dessert menu felt sparse with a single macaron service. For a kitchen operating at this level, that feels like an unfinished sentence. A meal this considered deserves a proper ending. But make no mistake: Mai is exceptional. The Labubu dolls are watching, and they agree.

Their handrolls aren't made the traditional & simple way, but I also feel like it's not too much going on that you can't taste the fish. In addition, the ginger that's served on the side is by far one of the tastiest in my opinion. Sweet and just the perfect amount of vinegar. It cleanses the palette perfectly. The space is on the smaller side, ambience is a bit dim, which is good for date nights - especially being in the Seaport area. Service is also fast and friendly.
