07/06/09 - Miyabi Sushi

Sorry about the delay in posting this - one of these days, I'll actually sit down and write the post-mortem after we get home. Anyway! As Eric and I had just gotten home from a friend's wedding in North Carolina, we decided to go back to the Southcenter as it's close to Eric's office. There were six of us this time - Deleva, Sean, Kyna, Anna, Eric, and me. Sean's choice was pulled (I think? It's been awhile, and the memory is not so good...), which was Miyabi Sushi.





The restaurant was having some sort of Hawaiian theme going on, which meant we saw things like this:


And very exciting drinks like this:


The big draw in this place was the bento box - nearly all of us got one (everyone but me, in fact). A couple of people got a bento with sushi, and the sushi came out before the rest of the food, in a boat!


The bowl in front had held miso soup, which was also part of the bento box deal.


Another boat of sushi (sashimi this time, I think?)

Realizing that the bento boxes would probably be way too much food for me, I got an order of spicy tuna rolls, and Eric got a side of cucumber rolls to go with his bento. They came out together:


For the record, I barely finished the tuna rolls - those suckers were HUGE! And tasty.

Finally, a couple of the bentos:





They all had a noodle salad of some sort, and I believe the rest was up to the customer. There were tempura vegetables, lots of fish, and some gyoza all made an appearance somewhere on our table. The majority was tasty, though I don't think anyone was impressed with the noodle salad.

And finally, the group shot:

I'm not sure where the next meeting will be - watch this space!
