Miyabi is a decent local sushi spot in Excelsior. It's a good place if you're craving sushi nearby, and they have a pretty big menu with a mix of rolls and other Asian dishes, so there's something for everyone. The space is nice and comfortable, with both indoor seating and a patio option, which is great in the warmer months. That said, the sushi itself is good but not anything super standout or memorable. It gets the job done, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way for. There is plenty of parking in the big shared lot. The staff is very kind and attentive. read more

Stopped by Miyabi in person and had a great experience! It was really busy and our service was relatively slow initially but once we got our order placed, the food came out fast & was very fresh! The restaurant feels upscale and like a nicer spot to enjoy some good food! read more

I had low expectations for a delivery order of sushi. I was thrilled to have a sushi and sashimi dinner that was incredible! It was diverse and delicious! Nothing had a fishy or lower level sushi taste. The Thai fried rice was good... just not "Thai." They should remove the "Thai" label. I will get the sushi and sashimi again! read more

The food was good for an impromptu dinner night! A good standard sushi joint in excelsior! We had a very friendly staff greet us and the sushi rolls we had were good. I just don't know if we'll be back to this particular restaurant. read more

Solid sushi spot in the suburbs! My friends and I were nearby for another event and were craving sushi so decided to give this spot a try. Interior was pretty and blue and our server was super friendly. We started with the wonton soup, served in individual bowls and it was okay. Nothing stellar but hit the spot during the cold. The rolls themselves were fresh, loaded, and tasty. Not sure if it's a spot I would drive out of my way to go to, but if I am in the area, I'll definitely stop by! read more

Miyabi - a plate of sushi on a table - Japanese Near Me - Excelsior, Minnesota

Miyabi will always deliver - high quality sushi, good price point. Never need a resi, even on a Friday at 7PM, it was busy but we snagged a table. Kind staff, food comes in a reasonable amount of time, you can tell everything is prepared fresh. Very typical sushi restaurant vibes, not a lot of fluff with nice big windows near the heart of excelsior. Great spot to come for excellent sushi at quite literally any time of day! read more

Miyabi - Angel rolls, snow mountain roll (middle) - Japanese Near Me - Excelsior, Minnesota

We have quite a few sushi spots in our rotation, and Miyabi has slowly made its way near the top of our favorites. While often overshadowed by another Excelsior sushi spot, I'd honestly recommend Miyabi to those unsure of which to pick! Plenty of parking in a shared lot with local Lunds! Service was wonderful...as noted by the frequent visits to refill my always half empty water :) The ambiance is classy, yet casual and perfect for a date night or just a sushi night out with friends. Food is always great! I do have to say that they have the BEST crab Rangoon...so definitely munch on those before your rolls arrive! Presentation is always fun and the rolls are quality! Plenty of sushi spots in the west metro, but definitely give Miyabi a try next time you're in the area! read more

Our favorite restaurant in Excelsior! Today we tried the vegetable Ramen, the coconut curry noodle soup, Thai salad & Tailfeather beer... (no sushi this time). Everything we order here tastes great and has high quality ingredients. Great service from the moment we walked into the restaurant. Clean, comfortable booths and chill music selection. read more

Everytime I've visited, i've always loved this place. It's super cute, love the environment, and they have indoor and outside seating. The food has always been hot, fresh, AND fast! The wait staff is always so kind and polite and very attentive when you need anything, they don't leave you hanging ever. I think it's awesome for a date night or even a girls night with it not being super tiny. Kinda shocked that whenever i've stopped in it's never too busy seeing i've never had a poor experience here. It's definitely a spot to try with having food business hours too! read more

We were looking to grab some Asian bistro in Excelsior and Miyabi popped up as a place to go. The Good: The spicy tuna roll is everything that you would expect. I would order several of these rolls. The chicken lettuce wraps do not look appealing but they have a smoky braised chicken flavor. I like the P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps a little better. The best meal was a coconut noodle soup, which I would give a five out of five unfortunately, it was not my meal. The Bad: The shrimp tempura dinner was OK but nothing that I would order again. read more

We love the food at Miyabi, and decided to order for pickup and eat at home. We had the avocado salad with ginger dressing, and the yaki udon noodle dish with chicken and veggies. The salad was so fresh and crisp, and the noodle dish was the best we've had at similar restaurants. Our only critique for the restaurant would be that a cold dish should not be placed in a carry-out bag with a very hot dish. Otherwise, we will be back! read more

We got Miyabi at least once a month and spend all of our special family events there. The food and service has kept us going all of these years. Vivi, our favorite waitress, is so kind and is just amazing at her job. read more

Rapidly becoming my favorite sushi spot in the west burbs (if not in Twin Cities). Why? Plenty of free parking - suck it Minneapolis Fair prices Fresh sushi Friendly staff Tons of specialty rolls Great happy hour Lots of booths (make a reservation) Great place to bring a date because it isn't super loud and the experience is very easy from a customer standpoint. read more

Miyabi is a staple when my friends and I are back in our hometown. Affordable and yummy prices (especially during lunch hours). Usually pretty easy to get a table. They have a large menu with a range of items for everyone in the group. read more

This place was awesome for a huge group! I had the Thai peanut sauce and the veggies were absolutely perfect and the chicken was moist and tender. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was timed impeccably despite our party of 20 with adults and kids. Everyone got exactly what they ordered and the signature drinks were very highly regarded as well. Birthday celebrations are special here too, not just the singing but the cake with a sparkler coming out of it was on point! read more

Date night and what a blast! Was surprised at how busy it was. We ordered vegetarian because she is vegetarian and has some great taste. She recommended the place and knew the menu pretty well. Would recommend reservations because they get busy on Saturdays. We went with avacado sushi, Thai Peanut Tofu, Green Curry Tofu. All quite good really. read more

Can't speak to service and ambiance because we had delivery. I would say the sushi was just okay ..same with edamame and other items. I would not drive to Excelsior from my home to eat here. Nothing really wrong...just not that good. read more

Delicious food! We tried the curry, sushi, and noodles. All were delicious. They have gluten free options with gf soy sauce available upon request. Service was very lovely. Ambiance was delightful, as we sat next to the window facing the street. The curry had a great kick to it! Will definitely get you sweating! read more

Food was good.. service was ok. Just wish it wasn't so close to the road but instead somewhere more quiet

This is our favorite sushi spot in the Excelsior area. They go above and beyond to make a good experience for the customer. Their food is delicious! They even cooked the salmon inside my Philadelphia rolls so I could continue to eat them while pregnant. We eat here about once a week and always look forward to it. read more

Food is good - service is inconsistent But overall I like it Except for the music! Lately it's some Clubby techno kind of vibe that makes me feel like I should hurry up and eat and get out! I hate that!!!! and it seems in conflict to what I know of Japanese dining read more

Excellent food and service. The Sashimi platter and the mango roll were both wonderful.

Kobe steak with green beans, asparagus, and broccoli. Side of noodles, and fried rice. We got this for take out and it was Perfection!

Worst experience ever. After an amazing first visit, my husband and I decided to go back and try the ramen the very next day. He lived in Japan for many years, and the sushi was SO good the night before, we both could not wait. Over an hour and a half wait, and the ramen was no better than the dollar store cups. Literally no veggies, no tofu, no sprouts, just noodles and broth, with a few dried seaweed chips thrown in. Soooo bad. My husband is vegetarian, but I got the pork version, and the meat was so fatty and gross it was literally inedible. The best thing was the boiled egg, but everything else was beyond bad. We also had to remind our waitress of our order after 45 minutes. She totally forgot us. I was a former waitress myself, so it's very hard to post a bad review, but still,...so incredibly disappointing!!! And expensive! I can't believe I still paid the $88 dollar bill and did not complain. I really should have. Absolute worst meal I have had out in literally decades. So bad!! Even the people next to us noticed and had sympathy, as even they saw how terrible our food and service was. NEVER get the ramen here, ONLY the sushi rolls. So awful. Worst dining experience ever. So disappointing. :( **They should just not even TRY with the ramen, and purely focus on what they are good at - the sushi is GREAT there!** (have to try to say at least one nice thing, even though tonight was awful) read more

Downtown Excelsior has a sushi war going on right now. Miyabi is located at the west end of Lake Street while just two blocks to East is Yumi. Right now, my money is on Miyabi. The interior has a nice open feel with an exposed ceiling. Plenty of booths, my personal fav, and even two giant family sized booths. My wife and I always get at least two rolls to share. We usually go with the "Lotus" and the "Cancun". This evening we mixed in the featured roll called "Fairy Tale". All are excellent. Minus a star for service that can be aloof and personality free. read more

I come back to Miyabi for the kani salad (pictured). I have yet to find anything comparable elsewhere, and I highly recommend ordering it! I have also had a variety of their rolls, and recommend the cap'n crunch roll! There is a parking lot for the restaurant, so there is no added hassle of parking. I have only ever been in winter, but I am sure the location in Excelsior is an added plus in the summer! The service has always been prompt and efficient for me, but the food is what keeps me coming back. Again, I can't recommend the kani salad enough. If you are able, I would also suggest going during lunch to take advantage of their great lunch specials to make your meal even more affordable! read more

YUM! I haven't stopped into Miyabi for a while so when we did we were all pleasantly surprised!! The sushi seems to have upped its game a bit - all our rolls were delicious and fresh. The size was perfect also, not too big nor small. Additionally, the selection they have on the menu is great! read more

We visited to celebrate a birthday during lunch hours. When we walked in we saw the specials board with a picture of Dory announcing the "Finding Dory Roll". It is kind of like naming an animal, showing you a picture and then serving it to you on a plate. We started with the Soft Shell Crab appetizer and it was okay. A very small crab. Of course, we ordered Dory and it was good. We just kept picturing Dory. The Ironman Roll was excellent but the highlight was the Yoshi Roll. The flavor was incredible. They have a nice selection of sushi rolls with unique combinations. The cost is a little higher for the location and the quality fish. There is a complimentary birthday chocolate cake too. read more

The cost is outrageous. Litererly one and a half cups of "fried rice was $16.00. I expected a quart at that price. The low main was equally bad. These weren't even special, a small amount of Veggies in both. It was the worst I've ever had. I have pics because I was so shocked. read more

My wife and I had lunch there for our first meal together after having our third child. We ordered the lunch specials (3 sushi rolls), and the waitress informed us that we couldn't order the specials. Usually, we wouldn't care, but she could've at least told us that when she handed us the menus...at noon on a Friday. We ordered two rolls each, and they were brought out in a reasonable time. Unfortunately, the rolls were about as average as they come. I'm not exaggerating when I say the sushi rolls from Cub Foods are just as good as these. When the check came, it was less than what I was expecting. I thought they came to their senses and charged us for what lunch should cost--how naive. The waitress came back about two minutes later and said she forgot to charge us for our drinks (one beer each). She took my credit card again and ran it for the beers. This is my first one star review on Yelp. We most assuredly won't eat there again. read more

I absolutely love this place. It's modern and maintains a classic clean feel. The colors and lighting creates a relaxing ambiance which almost subconsciously makes me feel relaxed. I love the design of their restrooms as well... the loud and good quality music gets me dancing in there. The food is amazing, the sushi and the sashimi is fresh and the quality is excellent. Each Sashimi slice I've ordered are chunky and generous esp compared to slender slices I've seen at other places around the Twin Cities (ie: Osaka Sushi, or the Kyoto all-you-can-eat). I appreciate how the plates come designed in such a pleasing manner visually. Food taste is important, but the presentation makes a HUGE difference. Food that's prepared more visually beautiful actually it tastes better, because care was put into it, I think you savor each bite more. I am the type to appreciate it. The staff is great... every time I come here they are friendly, they SMILE (some places don't give you smiles and that bothers me - genuine smiles ADD to my dining experience), and they are very attentive. Pricing is good, it's less expensive than Origami in Uptown MPLS... and I do love Origami too but this place is not as pricey so that makes me feel good when I come here. Trust me I am NOT picky but I am definitely particular!! Personally, I love it. read more

Great place, great food, great service. First time there with another couple. Plentiful sushi choices - high quality and nice presentation. Went with dinner entrees -sesame chicken, pad Thai noodles and shrimp vegy dish. All the dishes were excellent - fresh vegetables, great sauces and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive. Meals were very high quality at a reasonable price. This is a high value restaurant. I highly recommend it without any reservations. read more

This is what I received when ordering through Doordash. I paid $4 extra for each meal for fried rice that came in the smallest container I've ever seen. At least half the size of what most Asian places use. It's a little bigger than a playdough container. The entree size is extremely small as well and looks like it's smaller than a standard bowl of cereal. Ask yourself if you would pay this much not including tip for two meals that look like a small lunch portion. Oh and they forgot the egg rolls. Not sure if that was them or my door dash driver... read more

Miyabi is one of my top 3 sushi spots in MN. Do yourself a favor and go here. They have a lot of things going for them: generous portions, fresh fish, creative & delicious recipes, friendly staff, fun location, and a beautiful interior. I love all their rolls (yes, tried them all). Pro tip: order the roll on the board! It's always changing to fit the holiday/season/occasion. It's highly innovative and just as mouthwatering. The best ones make it to "the secret menu" that feature classic favorites like the 007. They also make killer entrees and apps. My top favorites are the Szechuan Peppercorn, Coconut Curry (entree and soup), and to snack on- spicy garlic edamame. So friggin' good. Currently drooling as I write this. You just have to go and try yourself. read more

Very good! We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night! Have enjoyed it a 3rd time now. It feels like I'm eating a good healthy meal. Plus it's delicious. They have patio service and the service has been easy, respectful, nonintrusive and very polite. The shrimps have been cooked perfectly here. They are meaty, and fresh tasting in a nicely noticeable way that I cannot explain. read more
