Miracle Sushi & Modern Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Carmel

My son and I each had a roll. I added on a soft drink and a salad. Total bill high 30s. Nothing wrong with the food but nothing outstanding either. I had the rainbow roll and I found the jalapeño in it overpowering. My son's roll was really small. I work in the area and the tap water was clearly just that - straight out of the tap. Has the same bad taste as the unfiltered water in the office. Yes it is free but that doesn't mean it has to taste bad. The problem is that the coke probably is not filtered either and I AM paying for that. I found the atmosphere depressing. Dark blue everywhere. Walls ceiling booth chairs carpet . what wasn't dark blue was black. Limited lighting. We were there for lunch. Perhaps in the evening it would have a better vibe. Maybe I am too accustomed to expecting sushi restaurants to have more of an Asian theme. Everything was clean. Service was friendly if a bit lacking in attentiveness. My soft drink took 10 minutes to appear. I received a refill promptly but once the check was paid wasn't offered another refill. I suppose it is on me to request a refill at the end. Food took a long time to come out. We were one of two tables with patrons. I think this place could be more appealing with some simple changes. I am enough of a sushi lover that I would go back as long as someone else is...

I have to disagree with brads review. I found the setting great. No gimmicks here with flashy cooks or waitresses wearing short skirts. This place is legit. I see where some people could complain about the portion sizes, but that's probably because they go to gimmicky places like naked chopstix. Where you're paying for fish that's probably not even labeled correctly. The two rolls we tried were amazing in flavor which made up for the smaller portion sizes. The price was fair for the level of sushi you're getting. If you want buffet try some other places. Rolls I recommend Firecracker and the appleblossom. Service was good, food was at least a 9/10 on flavor, price was that of a 4 or 5 star place which this is. I'll be returning for sure.

Quick facts the sushi chef has been making sushi for 35 years and all their sauces are made in house. That was what makes the rolls Pop. Sorry if you had a bad experience Brad but I can't say I did. If judging a sushi place based on its quality of coco cola products is your standard , then perhaps we should skip your reveiews all...

The sushi here was absolutely amazing. The roll named "The Miracle", truly is. The price tag is also unfortunately expectedly high, but is a clear example of "getting what you pay for." The service was very friendly and helpful. We had never tried Uni before, but our server explained their preparation of the urchin very accurately. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. The decor was upscale and detailed, and the entire atmosphere was one of relaxing fine dining. There were a number of Korean dishes with which we were unfamiliar, so we mostly stuck with sushi. Will definitely be back, the only question will be whether we order the dishes that we loved the first time, or adventure to...
