Mira Sushi & Izakaya
“Everything we had was great, however our favs were the beef tacos (a recipe that beat Bobby Flay), shrimp tempura buns and spicy tuna pizza.”
“Definitely try the Beef Bulgogi tacos, which apparently was the winning dish on an episode of 'Beat Bobby Flay'.”
“There's a reason this place landed among Zagat's best – the food is creative and will be sure to test all facets of your palette.”

My favorite dish at this restaurant is the Beef Bulgogi Tacos, which Beat Bobby Flay Winning Dish. This is the only thing I remember from eating here. I recommend ordering one order per person. Each order comes with 3, but you are going to want to eat all 3.
Appetizers are a must for this place! Definitely try to the bulgogi beef tacos because everything is perfect about it. The sushi pizza was really good too!
We had ordered some sushi rolls has our entree but it wasn't that good as their apps so since my boyfriend and I were still hungry we just ordered a bunch of apps and shared.
Ugh I'm getting hungry again thinking about this place!
I'm always down for sushi and with so many Japanese restaurants in NYC, it's hard to pick! Mira is my new go-to spot for unique sushi rolls. We arrived before 6PM and it was nice and empty. This place fills up quick. We ordered the beef bulgogi tacos, spicy tuna pizza, volcano roll and crispy rice roll. I highly recommend getting the spicy tuna pizza. The entire combo of that pizza has so much flavor and great texture. The beef bulgogi tacos were just okay. I was expecting the beef to be more juicy and flavorful. The volcano roll was DELICIOUS! I loved the combination and fried crunch. The crispy rice roll wasn't bad. It was good at first bite then you start getting tired from constant chewing, mass amount of rice and harder texture.
I've gone to Mira a few times now and I've had different experiences each time. The overall conclusion I can come to is that it's pretty inconsistent. The first time I went I remember it being just ok. At the time I worked in the area and went for lunch. Just ordered rolls that time, but I do recall them not being anything special. When I went back the second time I ordered spicy tuna crispy rice. Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm a crispy rice expert. It's one of my favorite foods and I have it quite often. When ordering at Mira I remember it being decent and pretty good. I decided the other day I wanted crispy rice and went back to Mira. Unfortunately, the crispy rice wasn't like I had remembered. It was actually quite soggy and really nothing great at all. I was pretty disappointed. After my few experiences here, I probably wouldn't go back anytime soon.
I'll be truthfully, any sushi place that proudly advertise they serve 'gluten' free sushi already has my brows up and skeptical. You can ask any famous sushi chef that it is really all about the rice.
It boast a modern take which in food lingo means 'Asian' fusion for the hipsters and I think 'Izakaya' is being liberally used now days.
I would say if anything this is less Japanese and more Korean with as they say 'approachable' means naming food so that it doesn't scare the non-Asians and something they can pronounce like Po'boys,rice bowl and tacos.
Sure the Beef Bulgogi taco that beat Bobby Flay claim to fame was pretty good. Was it better than Gorrilla truck hmmm….
The Pork buns was slight on the sweeter side snuggled into a light puffy white cloud like bun.
The Berkshire mince pork rice bowl or otherwise know in unapproachable term bibimbap. I know not a very friendly word I know was decent. It was certainly approachable than the ones you can get in K-town. Hmmm…
The Jap Chae Noodle probably more approachable name should have been Sweet potato noodles was a bit underseasoned but otherwise decent.
Mira has the loud vibe of the neighborhood on a quiet street.
My boyfriend and I came here last night and had a great meal! The beef bulgogi stands out as particularly memorable, although the tuna pizza and sushi rolls were delicious as well. The service was attentive and the price was reasonable. We will definitely come back!
I was walking around the neighborhood with a colleague, looking for a spot to grab lunch, when we stumbled upon Mira. It was packed – clearly a hot spot for lunch – and had a great menu with lots of variety like bao, chirashi, sashimi, sushi, noodles. It's a casual spot, but the ambience is a step up from the sushi places that have no personality on the inside. We ate at the bar and it was comfy and the service was super fast and attentive. I ordered the chirashi with a variety of sashimi and brown rice. So yummy!!! Highly recommend if you want sushi that's original, creative, delicious and reasonably priced in a relaxing atmosphere. I'll be back!
Not too impressed. The coco verde cocktail was amazing. The atmosphere and happy hour deals were a bust. Can definitely find well cocktails for 1/2 price elsewhere.
No specialty cocktails during happy hour.
Didn't try the food specials. They looked amazing though.
I don't feel too pressed to come back.
My phone couldn't send out texts or do internet while I was in there. Annoying.
