| They have some of the BEST nigiri in Reno. |
Miyabi Sushi is one of the only sushi spots in Reno that doesn't offer all you can eat sushi. As much as I love AYCE, it does present some limitations in terms of quality. When you're pumping out so much sushi (let's face it, humans will always find ways to defeat the system), you just can't invest too much money on quality ingredients. And yes, Miyabi takes advantage of their a la cart menu. I do feel like they serve more quality food than other spots.
Before diving into the food and restaurant, I'd like to point out how the location of Miyabi serves as one of its strongest selling points. Located in Shayden Summit (formerly Summit Mall... yep, new management called for a new name), the restaurant is surrounded by a handful of attractions that could make for an ideal & fun extended visit.Nearby Attractions in the Same Mall

Now, about the food...
I love that their menu isn't too crazy, yet includes enough options that highlights their amazing fresh fish and offers just enough extras to leave you satisfied and wanting more.

On the menu you can find ramen options, well-known hot plates (chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, pork tonkatsu), appetizers, combination platters (different combinations of rolls+nigiri), and desserts.
I remember on my first visit years ago when I celebrate my dear dad's birthday and the chef was more than willing to create a custom vegetarian roll on top of the amazing Vege roll already on the menu to accommodate his dietary needs. Flexibility is one of the best traits a business can practice. We're just such demanding creatures, right? LOL And you can bet I don't forget when a restaurant is accommodating.
I've tried pretty much everything on the menu. The nigiri comes with toppings and is some of the best in town. The appetizers are always nicely presented and top-notch in quality. Their hamachi kama can basically count as an entree (just as for a scoop of rice on the side). I also love their seasoned edamame, fried mushrooms, and miso soup. For rolls, their Fire Ocean, Ryu (dragon), & Mt. Rose roll are popular options, all approved, and all so drool worthy. Even my father's vegetarian rolls were the bomb! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
EXCITING NEWS!
The restaurant has undergone a serious transformation and has recently re-opened in March, 2025. They purchased the shop next to them (formerly Color Me Mine), knocked down a wall or two, and completely redid the whole place.
The new and improve restaurant features darker theming, tons more seating than the former setup, a bar that showcases the sushi chefs and drink offerings, and some Japanese accents that make the dining experience feel just a bit more authentic.
