Miya's Sushi

  • July 28, 2006
  • Rated 5 of 5 by kazushi from New Haven, Connecticut
Dear Bun,

I would like to thank you for the magical evening. We have had so many together, but paradoxically, each seems to be unique and special. Upon reflection, this is the magic of a night at Miya's with Bun Lai presiding as sorcerer.

Goethe once wrote that "one ought, everyday at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words." Though I feel some trepidation in amending such fine words from such a supremely perceptive man, I dare say that Goethe, if he ever dinned at Miya's, would have included "to eat a lovely meal, and pass time with a beautiful soul," to his requisites for a good day. Not many bring such goodness into the world for others to experience and take into their lives. It is the combination of a rare gift and creative energy. You should know this.

Miya Japanese Restaurant

Here's the best sushi in the state. I am a huge fan of Bun Lai, the artist/chef behind the masterey of Miya's Sushi. The place is nothing fancy—a casual, somewhat time-worn space on the outer limits of downtown New Haven - but the cookery is extraordinary. Miya's menu is the largest I have ever seen and entertaining, offering challenging dishes like seared black marlin sashimi seasoned with large crispy African fire ants or homemade sake infused with hand picked wild sumac berries. Chef Bun Lai and his staff creates the best in new American cuisine. Eating at Miya's is like space travel.
