Lunch time with M Vista is always on point. The beef kabobs are awesome. The spring rolls and the lobster rolls are delicious. The egg drop soup is one of my favorites. If you order to go you have to confirm that the crispy wontons are included. The green beans have a butter glazed and are good. The rice is tasty as well. The food in my experience dining during lunch has always been served hot and fresh. I believe they do some lunch time specials as well. Parking is never too much, and the customer service is good. It's spacious and clean on the inside. I've tried a variety of dishes and have been pleased with them all. read more

Booked a private party and the restaurant didn't have the room ready to start off. Our servers were awesome but the food was not good at all. How do you burn pot stickers? The sushi was sub-par at best, and the prepared dish we had tasted like dish soap and we sent it back. There are far too many other restaurants that serve better quality food than here! Until they re-vamp this place, I won't be back!! read more

Good service, timely. Good prices. However, the quality is a concern. Jasmine tea, water temp far too high, little burnt- but very good flavor. Edamame appetizer- hard to get the beans open. Curry /basil tofu - barley taste of curry and no basil to speak of. Inconsistent tofu cubes. No heat to the curry. Sesame tofu was soupy and not good consistency. Replaced with lo mein (positive customer service!), but mall noodles are better. Szcheuan beef - plate full of green peppers (good peppers but masks how little beef there is). Good heat level though. Beef is cooked well. I'd order this again. read more

Food was very good. Service excellent. Nice atmosphere. Food was served so hot and fresh. Quick too.

I'm here sitting at the bar writing this review. When I was in college, I worked as a hostess at this restaurant. It's sad to see how the service has become. One of the bartenders is coughing without covering his mouth and is saying profanity and talking with the other bartender about personal things out in the open. The hostess is sitting in a chair coughing nonstop, also not covering her mouth. I've heard multiple comments about tips from other patrons and just chatter about so many things. The one coughing bartender went up to the hostess and was saying "I thought I have covid" "are you sick"? Nobody even checked on me. As soon as the bartender spit his mucus in the trash can I asked for my tab. Nobody asked if I wanted to see a manager or what they can do. They didn't even comp my drinks when i was very obviously upset. Completely disgusting and unaware of their surrounding, I now would never suggest this location to ANYONE. Just hope I don't wake up sick. read more

M Vista - Carolina Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I just delivered for M Vista and walked through the back and what I saw is absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. Meat sitting out of the fridge, cooks cutting raw meat with no gloves, cross contamination with silverware from raw meat to veggies. DO NOT EAT HERE. I WOULDNT BRING MY WORST ENEMY TO EAT HERE. read more

if you're a big fan of pad thai, this would not be my top rec in columbia. i ordered delivery, & it took about an hour to get to me. the noodles had no flavoring on them, just lots of peppers, onions, & sour limes. literally, i found four brown limes in the dish. i added a lot of soy sauce for flavoring to make it edible. the miso soup was okay, but only had a few leaves in it & not a ton of flavor, nor any tofu etc. I had high hopes because their beef kabob is incredible, but I was very disappointed by what I got. definitely better pad thai elsewhere. read more

Ordered their bibimbop and boneless wings for takeout. The bibimbop was good but nothing special. The wings hardly had any of the soy garlic sauce on them and I had to use the extra bibimbop sauce to get any flavor on them, which ended up working out fairly well. It was a bit pricey but the portion sizes were pretyy good. Just wish the wings had been prepared better. read more

Hi there! Excellent restaurant in all aspects! Beautiful decor and ambience is upscale. Impeccable service by my server, Albert! Food superb! I ordered several things that I forgot to photograph. Oops. Had miso soup, veggie fried rice, cali roll, yellowtail roll with fish roe, new york roll & I am now stuffed! 5 stars! Addendum: my table was decorated with two real red roses in a vase! Impressive! read more

I have to go with four stars, because I have very comfortable seating their service to me has always been excellent, and what I order is always good. Which is some for an appetizer sampler with egg drop soup. Their dessert options could be much better. And their ginger dressing falls short of competitive restaurants. It is not thick enough for my taste. It's something so easy to fix. I wish they would fix that. read more

Amy and Joe worked so hard to make the wedding reception run smoothly. I was so impressed with them, in particular, because the off sight caterer was running late and they jumped into action. I can't say enough about them. read more

Great food, awesome selection and friendly staff. A small group of us came to M Vista for my birthday and we really enjoyed it. Not everyone wanted sushi so there was a nice variety and happy hour was spot on. The server did not sing happy birthday which was exactly how I wanted it. The sushi was delicious and no one else had anything bad to say about their meals either. If I'm ever back in Columbia, this will be the first place I go. read more

M Vista - Sushi combo - Asian Fusion Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This place was great! I ordered the green tuna appetizer which I loved and I could have eaten 20 of them. The service was good I just wish they had Toro; they didn't know what toro was which was disappointing because it's on the menu online. I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo and it was fresh and delicious! The place was quiet for a Friday night read more

The food at this establishment is really delicious however Customer service could improve. Before the pandemic we went here quite often for lunch and Allie seems like we were sometimes overlook while waiting to be seated not sure of race played a part but it happened a few times. Took our chances in win again today for lunch and we literally waited 20 minutes To be seated. Once we were seated it appears that our waiter was discombobulated and cannot juggle his tables. Needless to say he did apologize and I do understand staff is limited due to Covid but the overall experience could have been better. read more

M Vista - Black dragon roll and tempura fried tuna roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

We were in town visiting family and went with them to the weekly Sunday afternoon dinner here. We were greeted with a warm welcome and immediately shown to our tables for our large party. Everything that everyone ordered was delicious. My husband ordered off the sushi menu and was not disappointed. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and it was delicious. The service was great. She stayed on top of the whole party and had a great personality. You can't go wrong giving this place a try. read more

This restaurant caters to Asian food lovers! Especially sushi. Today I had the Godzilla roll, mermaid roll and Lobster tempura roll. We also had Thai Basil chicken, chicken fried rice and and Singapore chicken noodles. This was an amazing meal. From start to finish. This was probably the best Godzilla and Lobster tempura I have ever had. Give this place a try if you are in the Columbia SC give this place a try! read more

I have loved this place for many years but lately, it's gone downhill. I've ordered carry out on two separate occasions and my food has been subpar but the prices have increased. I won't be going back. read more

You'll notice a trend that I love giving 5 Star reviews and don't often go with less. First off, the service was very good and you could tell they really take pride in their preparations. Overall, the cocktails were nice. Refreshing. Not too sweet. We were a group of six... three alumni, my wife and me, and a boyfriend, so very assorted choices of food and beverage. The menu was huge and it took a while to take it all in. In the end up, my wife and I had the Geisha roll to start. Asked for a bit of spice and did get the spice rack thingy like you get at Thai restaurants. It was great. Love the soy paper. Others had spring and summer rolls. Also good. King Pao Chicken and Beef I think was the biggest hit. Good spice, flavorful sauce and ingredients. The rest of us went with the make your own" option. Here is likely where we went wrong. The meat, whether chicken or beef, was absolutely flaccid and flavorless. The fried rice (extra charge) didn't seem fried at all and had no color or flavor. Wife and I did make your own Shrimp Wok with the curry sauce with extra on the side and again with the spice rack. We split it and we were very happy. Others had garlic sauce and another sauce. My daughter sent hers back due to non-fried fried rice and flavorless chicken and shared her BF's Kung Pao and his rice which was great. Others were ok but not enthused enough to come back. Saw some sushi on other tables that looked good. They offered to make something else for my daughter and we wouldn't have time at this point. Is was a Friday night and we had plans. Ambiance was what you'd expect from a Asian dinner place but a bit more upscale. All in all, mixed levels of satisfaction amongst the group. 1 very happy, 2 happy, 3 notsomuch. I might go back and order a specialty Wok which is likely their sweet spot. So, probably more of a 3.5 stars, but an extra .5 for effort, attitude, etc. Just try it. You might like it. read more

Your service blows. Waited 20 minutes to be seated for lunch. I know it's tough finding folks but staff could've said something not just leave everyone hanging. Folks walked out. You're losing money Miyo's. read more

This was delivered via Door Dash (which was quick and the food well handled). The food was not good and it had nothing to do with delivery nor being "to go", it was bland with the exception of the chili sauce on the shrimp wontons and beyond greasy. The veggie spring rolls were still warm when I got them and at first i thought they were plated on some type of sauce. The "sauce" however was an actual puddle of oil. The rolls were leaking oil when i picked one up which was a shame because the filling, though tasteless and mostly shredded cabbage was cooked nicely and still had some crunch to it. The crab wontons lacked the aforementioned oil but the interior was cold and resembled tuna fish salad both in taste and appearance. The shrimp wontons in chili sauce had excellent flavor somewhere between Frank's Buffalo Wing sauce and peanut sauce, unfortunately the sauce couldn't save this train wreck but does garner 2 stars. read more

My favorite place to eat down town. Good food. Excellent service. Timely manner. Best sushi in Columbia.

Great place. Our conversation with the waiter about how he was thinking about being vegan/vegetarian made my day. Not too common for South Carolina. The food was delicious and we had leftovers, which I gobbled up the next day. read more

M Vista - Garlic eggplant and tofu garlic dish from the vegetarian menu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

From the moment we were greeted, it was clear that this server stands out from the rest. Not only does he have a welcoming presence, but his kindness and personability make the dining experience exceptional. His attentiveness to our needs, combined with a friendly demeanor, set the tone for a fantastic meal. It's rare to find someone who not only excels in service but does so with a genuine smile and effortless charm. The server's handsome appearance is just the icing on the cake. He's a true asset to the establishment, making every patron feel like a VIP. Would dine here again just for the top-notch service. Plus the amazing food. read more

Great customer service. I purchased a M Vista / Miyo's gift card for a friend that got lost in the mail. After a few days doing some research and figuring out how to help me, Ray was able to void the previous gift card and give me a new one. He could have just told me "sorry, not my problem". Thanks Ray! read more

Great service, delicious food. Two orders of sushi and a full dinner for under 35$. Make sure you go here.

We are going to stop going here. The food comes out cold regularly. Luckily they have the good to go plastic containers. Also the food takes a long time to come out and at lunch this has been a problem. It's a catch 22 if you send it back because it's cold everyone is going to touch the food to see how cold it is. Really too bad we liked this place. The food tastes good but the rice and vegetables are cold from the refrigerator. It could be later in the day after 12:30 the food warms up. read more

Haven't had to leave a one star on a place in a while. Man first and foremost, I ordered through door dash. I was missing a roll and an appetizer. Secondly the sushi I did eat, was just fishy. Wasn't fresh. I ordered general tso chicken. Deff was more of orange chicken. Super horrible experience. I'm a sushi person I eat it at least twice a week. Konnichiwa and there's another one that starts with and I, inkubira or something along those lines. Just wasted 70 bucks in food. I'm sure door dash will refund me. read more

We visited M Vista on Valentine's Day around 6PM and were seated immediately (to our surprise). We ordered the garlic green beans to start, and they were definitely a highlight of our visit. They have a great consistency and are seasoned very well. We both ordered Orange Chicken for an entree, Kelsay had fried rice, and I had the white rice. The orange chicken was good, but on the menu, it indicates that it is a spicy dish. Neither of us thought it was spicy at all, it had more of a sweet flavor. I If you are looking for spice, Kelsay recommends the General Tso's chicken. We've heard great things about their sushi, but we didn't give it a try this visit, maybe next time! Overall the service was great, the food was okay, and the apple martini was pretty good as well. read more

I haven't been to M Vista in a few years, but after last night's experience, I may become a frequent flyer. We came in around 8 and were able to grab a few seats at the bar. The bartenders were great and very quickly served us. We started with a few appetizers: the Green Tuna and the Shrimp Wontons in Hot Chili Sauce. The Green Tuna was impressively beautiful and even more delicious. I adored the sauce. We also loved the Shrimp Wontons, but next time we will ask for a little more spice in the sauce. For dinner, we split some sushi and sashimi. The sashimi was all very fresh and cut perfectly. We ordered the Palmetto Roll and the M Vista Roll. We annihilated them both. The Palmetto Roll has just the right amount of sweetness, and the M Vista Roll tasted like a very fancy Rainbow Roll. The service, drinks, and cuisine at M Vista are wonderful. We love the Miyo's brand and know that we can always get a great meal at any of their establishments. We will definitely add this location to our local rotation. If you haven't been, GO! read more

Arrived a little after 3PM today and by 4:30 PM still had not gotten all of our order. Waitress did not come over to refill drinks or explain the status of our order until we asked. place was not busy so we could not understand the delay. Waitress obviously had gone out for a smoke break because when she came back to the table she "reeked". Would have been nice if manager had acknowledged the delay. This was our first time visiting M Vista in the last 5 years. service has definitely gone down. save your money and look elsewhere for Asian cuisine and excellent customer service. read more

We ate here a month ago and really enjoyed it. We are back in town and it was great- again! We enjoyed the wok dish. We chose chicken, garlic, asparagus and added spinach. The miso soup needed to be hotter. The M Cafe sushi roll was very good! Cold beers, nice staff. Give it a try! read more

10/10. This was my second time here and I will come every time I go by Columbia! I don't usually eat a lot but I ate literally everything I got here. It is hard to find a spicy tuna roll that is actually spicy, and it sure is here! Highly recommend. read more

Manager didn't even know what was in the ingreidents in a meal. The meal my sister ordered did not state it had peanuts inside of it- my sister has a severe peanut allergy and we had to leave in the middle of our meal to take her to urgent care.
