Maybe I've been spoiled by the many great sushi joints (eg. Yasuda, Gari, 15 East, etc) in NYC but I wasn't wow'ed here. "Creative" rolls & dishes were overly-mayo'ed or sauced + there was no uni.
Incredible omakase with unique, creative dishes.
One of the best sushi experiences I've had anywhere and this is coming from someone who has lived in NYC for 10 years and my wife agrees and she is from Japan. Go with the Chef's Choice Omakase.
The regular omakase is 7 courses while the vegetarian is only 3. Besides that, the only vegetarian thing they have is a veggie roll which isn't what you would expect. I wasn't too impressed.
From expectation to experience I have never had such a letdown. This place simply isn't very good.
Probably the best japanese sushi restaurant in portland. Will not regret visiting.
Go with the omakase and the set menu if you are going on a date. You'll pretty much have tried everything on the menu after that... Which is pretty awesome
Everything was delicious and very fresh

Great omakase - definitely go for that or some sort of sampling vs ordering off the menu
Oh my gad!! Hands down best sushi joint in portland!! Everything is a little pricey but totally worth taking your breath away!!! Everything is so fresh and melts in ur mouth!
Warning, the following are fighting words: Miyake's sushi rivals the best sushi joints in NYC and San Francisco. And because it's Maine, there's lobster sashimi.
The Maine Lobster Roll is truly divine. This is a hidden gem on Fore Street and likely to be a Top 25 for New England soon.
Get the Chef's choice sashimi...raw lobster tail with garlic oil. Amazing!
The nigiri is a state of art here !!!
Hamayaki is phenomenal, you must try it if you get lunch here.
Quiet and calming atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food. Expect smaller and more refined portions than other local sushi restaurants. High quality local ingredients.
I met a hot bitch here named Miso Soup. I want to have sex with her because she's so delicious!
Miyake serves only fish from Maine waters or flown in from Japan. Chef Masa Miyake’s tasting menus paired with sake offer a world-class experience. [Eater 18 Member]
Definitely try the pork belly-insanely good
The Mushroom Miso Soup and Japanese menu at Miyake Restaurant, in Portland, ME, is Alex Guarnaschelli favorite on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate.
The rolls are amazing
Their sushi is recommended by local seafood purveyors BrowneTrading Company.
Reputed to have the city's best omakase (Chef's Choice) and. Note: it used to be BYOB.
Save up and go w/the chef's choice. And matching saki, 'natch.
Have the Maine hamayake as desert. Trust me.
The five course omakase is the best choice. The lobster sashimi is outstanding.
Try the omakase sushi
