I tend to categorize sushi restaurants based on the style of food they serve and the type of dining…read moreexperience they're aiming for. Ichi Umi is definitely more of a casual, Western-style sushi spot, which usually isn't my personal preference. However, because this location is right by my husband's office, we ended up coming here fairly often. Over time, I learned to appreciate it for what it is: an easygoing, convenient option with reasonable prices and a large, approachable menu. I think of it as a slightly elevated version of grocery store sushi, which can be either a positive or a negative depending on what you're expecting. Overall, I'd rate it 3/5. It's perfectly fine for a casual meal and convenient when you're nearby, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit for high-quality sushi.

I must have driven by this restaurant whenever I was on Parmer for like 15 years ... and never got…read morearound to going in. When I finally did, I discovered one of the best Japanese restaurants in Austin. Okay ... if you are going to pay $600 for an omikase then the omikase place is better. The tasting menu at Uchi is better. But if you just want Japanese without paying a gold brick and taking out a second mortgage on your house, Miyo Yakitori and Sushi is pretty damm fine. * * * a) Japanese curry is a utility dish in most Japanese restaurants ... and when you get down to it, in most Japanese homes. It is often what you serve on "cheap" night. Airport hotels offer it as the "free dinner" for tired travellers. The curry sauce itself here is standard issue. But they serve it with a Pork Katsu the size of Williamson county. And it is a very good Pork Katsu. That Katsu was good from Liberty Hill to Thrall and from Hester's Crossing to Jarrell. b) My carnivorous partner's Fireball Udon with Shellfish blew him away. Temperature wise and aesthetic pleasure wise. He raved about how good his udon was all the way home. c) Service was instantaneous. I think there was some sort of event horizon distortion of the space time continuum that allowed them to prepare the food and then go back in time and deliver it within a minute of it being ordered. Both of us were impressed. d) The service staff was as nice as any human beings could possibly be. * * * Great food. Great service. The folks who live in the apartment complex that Miyo is in are very lucky people indeed. Either the apartments are lovely and they get Miyo on top of that. Or the apartments are terrible, but they can still spend all their time in Miyo to compensate. Seems like a fair trade. **************** If you read the other reviews, There seems to be some controversy about this establishment. Miyo has fans and Miyo has haters. * * * Here is my read on the conflicting opinions: a) Earlier in the restaurant's history - Say about 2016, 17, or 18, The restaurant was not very good at all. I think at that time it had another name. b) There was a name change and quality went up. Sometimes when this happens there is an ownership change (or there is an owner who swaps out the management and cooking team to put in new blood.) However, things got fixed, they got fixed. c) Miyo's yakitori is apparently still not where it needs to be. I am not a huge Yakitori fan. If your broiled meat on a stick is not $80 an ounce Wagyu, Or amazing organ meats grilled in the Caucasus Barded with lamb fat and with farm fresh vegetables On another skewer for serious taste contrast ... If you are not at that high level, I don't want to pay for meat on a skewer. There are people who DO like Yakitori. They do NOT like the Miyo versions of that. * * * Yakitori is less than 20% of Miyo's menu. The rest is sushi or wonderful cooked dishes. Lay off the skewer food and you can do well here.

We were seated right away, and our server took our drink order promptly while we decided on our meal choices. We got seaweed salad and tempura asparagus to share as a starter. I very rarely order tempura, and now I'm wondering why. It was delicious. For our mains, we each ordered a role and a selection of nigiri. The roles are very generously sized, though not unwieldy to eat, and they have a good selection of classic and original options. Service throughout our meal was prompt, but not pushy. The price is good for sushi. I'll be back.

Keep in mind that locals know and love this place, so Friday-Sunday nights will need a reservation. Lunch is much more tame. I personally like the fast but friendly bustle of a popular eatery, and they are popular for a reason. If you aren't tempted by the offerings on their menu, they do rotating chef specials in sashimi or nigiri style. Last night my trio did both and were treated to absolutely decadent and culinarily exquisite combinations of flavor. Even on such a packed night, our waitress was still welcoming, helpful, and engaging, ready to offer recommendations and going over each course in detail. If you love sushi, you will love this place.

Every piece just melts in your mouth and has amazing flavor and quality. They know what they're doing! I believe it was 10 pieces only for around $50, so I was sad when it was over lol. It's a bit pricey but worth it. My friend ordered some sort of roll but I'd really recommend the nigiri. Plenty of parking since it's in a shopping area.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess said that she didn't have the reso on her end; rather than apologizing or making a single effort to fix the issue, she just stared at us. We had to prompt her for clarification and next steps, and had to continue to prompt her through the process of getting us sat. When we finally sat down at a regular table, we waited about 15 minutes without a server coming by. I eventually flagged a server down, and we got our order under way. We requested the manager stop by to tell him about the issue with the reservation and the fact that his hostess needs additional training, and surprise, the manager was also not helpful. He did apologize for our reservation being lost, but blamed it on the system and denied any responsibility for taking care of it - basically just told us that "life is life". He did not offer a discount or any kind of relief for the setbacks or bad service. I wasn't expecting the world or anything, but good hospitality dictates that you do more that basically tell us to just deal with it. For the food: the sushi was pretty gnarly - it looked like somebody was angry at the fish when they were slicing. Most things needed salt. Steak and fried rice was good, but the vegetables were pretty much raw. I can forgive quite a bit when it comes to service, especially on graduation/mother's day weekend. But honestly I'm a little impressed at how little the entire staff cared about their guests.

We arrived on time for our reservation (party of nine) and were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait, which ultimately turned into 45 minutes. The party ahead of us kept changing their guest count, with additional people arriving later, causing the hostess to repeatedly adjust their reservation and push back other confirmed parties. I checked in with the hostess several times, and although she eventually found us a table, it was an uncomfortably tight fit. There was no effort made to acknowledge or remedy the situation. At the very least, a complimentary appetizer or drinks would have been appropriate given the inconvenience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this restaurant-inconsistent service.

My wife is currently pregnant and was craving sushi, and Mia went above and beyond by walking us through the entire menu to point out all of the fully cooked options that were safe for her to eat. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality is rare. The restaurant is very clean as well. Amazing food, amazing people, and consistently great service. We recommend Tsukimi to everyone looking for high-quality sushi and a restaurant that treats you like family.

Soto consistently delivers beyond fresh sushi and straight from Japan specialties. Want to mix some meat with your sushi? Then go for their imported Wagyu beef. It will melt in your mouth. The prices are certainly not on the "all you can eat" sushi restaurant scale, but you are paying premium for premium. On this visit, we arrived during their happy hour. Do check out their HH menu; it is more than generous. I'm not going to bore you with our selections, but the sushi is so tender and fresh that you are insulting the chef and the fish by adding soy sauce and wasabi! One highlight was the Spicy Tuna Katsu Maki; this entrée is wrapped in a seaweed cone with asparagus, avocado, wasabi mayo, and eel sauce. Another was Uni from their imported from Japan menu. My oh my, it was so fresh and creamy! If you do not want to break the bank, their HH and lunch specials will do you right. Do make reservations if you wish to sit at the sushi bar. Speaking of bars, they have a full bar and their martinis are perfectly made. You can expect 5-star service at this 5-star restaurant. Who would have thunk that one of the best sushi restaurants (IMHO) in Austin would be in the CP and located in a strip mall next to the Dollar Tree store!
