For sheer, gutsy inventiveness, nothing I've eaten this year beats New Haven's MIYA'S (68 Howe Street, New Haven; 203 777 9760) where chef Bun Lai reinvents Japanese food by infusing traditional techniques and ingredients with his own quirky, American-style originality. Sushi rolls are wrapped in thin layers of fried eggplant and zucchini, stuffed with a variety of western ingredients like cheese, roasted garlic, and artichokes. While the food has not always been perfect when the young chef is not at the stove, when it is, it is sublime (best bet is mulitcourse prix-fixe "kaiseki dinner") and it is a joy in being in the presence of such an original mind.

Outstanding restaurant! As a world traveler I've experienced the best and this ranks up there with the greatest. Creative menu with a flair and a wonderful atmosphere. Chef Bun Lai is masterful.

My husband and I moved to New Haven, from California and have had quite a time finding restaurants that serve unique and well flavored dishes. We have found one place that continues to beckon us back for more, Miya’s Sushi Restaurant. We love Miya’s Kisekae dinners on Wednesday night. For one flat price, roughly $30.00 you get an entourage of dishes specially prepared by the excellent chef Bun Lai! It’s best to call ahead to reserve the “Kisekae”. All you can eat, has never been this exquisite. The dishes have been different each time we’ve gone, and it’s great to know that the chef is creating all these dishes fresh, while you are sitting at your table. If you take a minute break from sipping your hot sake to watch, you’ll see Bun Lai running between the sushi counter and the kitchen working up a sweat to serve up the most unique and flavorful dishes we’ve seen here in Connecticut. He’s truly an artist when it comes to cuisine. If you want to give yourself a treat in exceptionally creative and beautifully presented dishes, try the Kisekae for yourself and a date or friend. You won’t be disappointed!
