Miya Sushi — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We've been living in Valley Village for going on 6 years now and I wanna say have been coming to Miya about as many years and it is still one of our favorite local places does Sushi.

The place is tiny by most measures but it adds to the charm of the place. The staff is extremely nice and friendly and treat us like family and it really shows how much they love their customers. Many of the customers are regulars like us, usually from the area but the staff greets and treats all customers old and new just the same which is so rare these days.

The food itself also never disappoints, we've never had a bad food experience here and we've tried most things on the menu. The sushi itself is very fresh, bakes mussels are one of my wife's favorites. If you're a very large party, maybe 8 or more it may be hard to accommodate either way it is best to call in advance and put your name down on busier nights like Friday or Saturday. During the week you're almost always bound to find an opening especially if you're a couple for instance.

Parking is shared with the Bank of America across from it and the string of businesses to the right of it but you can find parking most...

Great little Japanese restaurant I used to frequent when I worked near by. Over 20 years later the food is still fantastic and almost exactly the same. It is of course known for their sushi and seafood but I really enjoy the tempura, which I get as all vegetables, the batter is super light and crispy and not too oily, which is very rare to find these days as many places tend to over batter there tempura. (Note that they now offer brown rice with meals that are trying to watch their carbs or have low glycemic meals) The miso soup that comes with many of the meals is excellent as well, they didn't skimp on the miso so it doesn't taste watered down like some restaurants. The server and sushi chef were also very friendly. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a try. Honestly one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles and I frequent areas like Little Tokyo and Torrence/Gardena. It really is a gem of the area. The only difficultly is the parking, not a lot of it near by, but if you can't find a spot in the lot it is worth the walk from...

Because of my job, I eat out a lot.

I am Japanese, so somehow my clients prefer to take me to Sushi restaurants. Every time I try new places, I always ended up coming back here.

If you can come alone or without children, just sit down at the counter - and order "Chef's choice." Their chefs will NOT feed you any old fish (they have the great variety of cooked dishes for that reasons).

Also, they make their own stuff - Pickles, Nimono, Miso, etc.

My dad, who is a super authentic Japanese business man, was very pleased here too.

So TRY IT!!!! ...
