Miyabi Ii Asian Fusion - Staten Island

I'm always on the hunt for good asian food in Staten Island, so I was excited to visit this place based off the great reviews. Initially, when I tasted the Salmon Sushi, I had high hopes for the rest of the menu items. Unfortunately, Miyabi did fall a little short of my expectations after a few bites of the Beef Pad Ke Mao.Food:I ordered Plum wine, Agedashi tofu, Salmon and tuna sushi a la carte, Beef Pad Ke Mao, and Deep fried green tea ice cream.Plum Wine:When you first take a sip of the plum wine, it taste decent. You get hints of sweet plum but there was a slight sour after taste just lingering.Agedashi Tofu:The broth for this Agedashi tofu was spot on, it was fragrant, flavorful, and pack with umami. The tofu was soft, lightly seasoned, and had a wonderful crispy exterior. Although I did enjoy this appetizer I felt it lacked some grated daikon on top and a bit more of the broth would have gone a long way.Salmon and Tuna Sushi:Both the Salmon and Tuna tasted great, both were fresh, rich in flavor, and just melted away in my mouth. The rice however offered a different story, The rice didn't hold well, tasted a bit stale, and dry.Beef Pad Ke Mao:I ordered this dish after I ordered my sushi but somehow this dish arrived at least 2 minutes before the sushi. It is impressive when an establishment offers quick services, but this arrived suspiciously too quick. The dish was overall lackluster, the noodles were overcooked, stuck clumped up together, and the sauce didn't provide any excitement. The beef was tender but also very chewy, I found myself pulling some pieces apart with my hand and noticed the inside was a little underdone. Some of the noodles were cold while others were hot and same with the beef.Deep Fried Green Tea Ice Cream:What's not to love about a ball of ice cream deep fried in a light layer of tempura batter. I wish they would had let the ice cream fry a little bit longer to melt the inside a bit more and to completely cook the batter.Service:It was just me and 2 other guest. The waitress was a little slow because her attention was captivated by what she was watching on the tv. I wasn't offered water when I sat down, nor when I ordered my food, but the other guest did get water. Although the food arrived at my table within minutes of me ordering, I found it a bit odd for the Pad Ke Mao. Makes me fee as if it was maybe left by another guest, they reheated and served it to me.Decor:Well lit, nothing fancy but offers a cozy feeling. The bathroom has was clean and smelled nice but the flashing lights were giving me a headache.Price:I felt like some of the dishes were slightly overpriced for the quality they provided.Overall I gave this place a 3 out of 5. If I were to come back it would be for the Agedashi Tofu and the Salmon Sushi.

The food is still one the best in Staten Island's north shore neighborhood! The service is always fast and good food is worth its wait!! The place is well lite give a good vibe. Will always keep coming here and it's a spot you shouldn't skip on when your craving sushi!

Crew is nice and place is clean! Great food .. always my first place to go, if I'm near.

The Best Sushi on Staten Island for years. Others come and go but Miyabii has been consistently fresh, good value, speedy and delicious. I take out 90% of the time and dine in once in a blue. Usually sushi, sometimes the warmer foods. Haven't found something I didnt like and its been probably a decade. Give them a try and you'll notice the difference.
