This place does not have the typical sushi menu, so it took a bit of time to find some food items that spoke to me. I tried the chicken lettuce wraps, soft shell crab roll, unagi trio roll, and spicy tuna roll. The lettuce wraps were spicy and very messy, just a warning to prepare yourself. The soft shell crab roll was good, actually lighter than the usual soft shell crab roll so it didn’t taste as greasy. The unagi roll was yummy, but I am a huge fan of eel and the sweet eel sauce. The spicy tuna roll was a familiar roll, similar to every other sushi place. But there is nothing wrong with that. Our service was great, the waiters brought the food out as it was ready very promptly. So far it was a wonderful experience, the only bad part was the owner/manager(not sure who she was, she alluded to owning the place in her conversation) spent half our meal with her butt in our face. She apparently knew the couple at the next table well and got into a deep conversation with them about their daughter and her shared love of jumping horses with the couple. Yes she was close enough that I could have been included in the conversation as well. I either could stare at my dinner partner or the kitchen, looking outside wasn’t an option because she was standing right next to me, facing the couple, and have her conversation. It was only as we were getting our check that she decided to just sit down next to the couple, instead of standing next to me with her butt in my face.

THIS IS NOT A PREMIUM SUSHI BAR. I went here thinking it would be upscale and the food is mediocore at best. Try Sushi Wabi. Muchhh better food and better crowd of people. It was sooo loud when i was here.
Absolutely fantastic sushi and atmosphere. Flavors were rich and pleased the palette very nicely. Atmosphere upstairs is the better of the two. Definitely a great place for the experienced sushi lover.
2nd floor is crucial. In my humble opinion, ambiance is a very close second to the taste of the food (with some obvious exceptions). If you are looking for a standard sushi bar, there are other (better) places to go. However, the upstairs at Mirai lends an atmosphere that I consider a perfect (i.e. modern, elegant, posh) way to (1) start a weekend night or (2) close out a hard days work … with a martini of course! Contrary to other reviews, I have never had to wait when I make reservations. Having documented that fact, I fully expect to be waiting next time…My favs: Sakana Carpaccio, pretty much all of the specialty maki mono (rolls), the Sweet Hotate (scallops) and the Special Hirame (soft shell crab)
TWO & HALF STARS. I have been to Mirai over 10 times in the last five years and it always seems to be the same story. If you have a reservation on the weekend upstairs you ALWAYS have to wait at least another 20 min to sit down. The food is not overpriced, but compared to Sushi Wabi and Coast (same price range), it does NOT hold a candle to either. Their first priority here is not quality of food or service, but rather ambiance. The sushi chef also is not accomdating for simple maki rolls that are not on the menu. If your really looking for great sushi in the city, the two places mentioned above and of course MEIJI are a teir ahead of Meji. Sorry guys, just the facts!
Cha ching anyone?. I think the single $ sign is not accurate, this place is not a casual investment of a night’s dining funds. The drinks are great, I believe the food is pretty good and certainly inventive, but it’s not cheap.
