Chef Shin and his wife are phenomenal hosts. The full omakase is unique and beautifully presented by the chef. Furthermore, Shin does his best to impress every customer, while describing the dish and even showing pictures of the fish prior to preparing. The omakase fee is extremely competitive and the saki list is top notch. All items are seasonal and well chosen by the chef. You will probably taste some seafood that you have never tasted before. Please try Sushi Miyagi, and I guarantee that you will be booking another reservation right after you leave.
