Can I consider Miya as a hidden treasure? I don't know... It's a really good sushi spot that I frequent.
Let me break it down for you:
1) really good quality fish. Tastes fresh.
2) simply/classically prepared. The fish is the star of the show here. There aren't any fancy rolls or fusions. Don't bother asking for a hand roll w/o rice, the best thing they'll do is "less rice."
3) they offer an assortment of cooked dinner as well. Things like chicken teriyaki plates for those who don't want sushi.
4) the decor is your basic older sushi joint and the noise level is low. It's not a place to hang out for long.
5) the deluxe chirashi is the perfect take out meal. Really filling!
Again, they're not trying to be fancy here - but they are pumping out clean and quality fish with a smile on their face! -

Giving 5 stars after trying this small, local spot 3 times.
This isn't an all you can eat place with overly sauced sushi, if that's what you're looking for.
Small restaurant with good sushi and hot food options, but not an extensive menu. Sushi is simple, but very fresh. Tempura is nice and light considering it's fried food. And the dinner plate presentation is nice.
Service is impecable as well.
While the interior isn't very updated or fancy, it's still a good place for a nice and light meal.
They do get busy, even on weekdays, and usually have a few reservations booked every day so there might be a wait.
Don't come here in a hurry or if you're into eel sauce everywhere. -

With so many sushi joints in LA, and especially in the SFV - I decided to give some new places a try. I had high hopes for lunch here based on overall Yelp reviews, but unfortunately left disappointed.
First impression: they are doing a good lunch business which is a good sign. Decor a little tacky with caution tape across the carpet as you step up to the sushi bar. Overall, it feels a little tired.
Service: hostess is friendly, sushi chef is a little aloof. We try to engage him a little bit as we are ordering and he borders on surly. Not sure what's up - he is not busy, but definitely not friendly either. As the meal progresses, he warms up a little, but we're working way to hard.
Food: is okay. Some better than others. The sushi is pretty good. Generous portions and fresh. The tempura shrimp roll is just okay. A little heavy on the batter. The CA hand roll in soy paper is HUGE. I think these hand rolls might be their specialty. It was good, but way too heavy - we couldn't finish it. Like a regular hand roll but "super sized!"
Prices: appetizers are pricey - $5 for edamame, $7 for shishito peppers, and they go up from there. Sushi prices are $6 -8 each. They also have an extensive written menu with lunch and dinner combos and entrees which we didn't realize until the end of the meal. Would have been nice if someone offered us this menu when we sat down.
Overall, just not enough reasons to go back, the biggest drawback being the service during the meal. All other things equal, surly service just has no place. There are too many places to go and try, hopefully happier to have your business. -

I'm surprised with Miya Sushi such a high rating on Yelp, our experience was just average, unfortunately.
We stopped there for a quick lunch, maybe they have a different menu for dinner or different crew, but we were not impressed.
I got lunch combo plate with Beef Teriyaki and California Roll. The beef was hard, like over well done, and lots of teriyaki sauce couldn't save it.
California Roll - just exactly what you expect, nothing remarkable. Iceberg lettuce salad - haven't even tried it, sometimes it's better to be hungry than eat iceberg lettuce, in my opinion.
My wife's Rainbow Roll didn't impress her much as well.
I trust Yelp a lot and 4.5* rating can't be accidental, but we saw what we saw.
Service is 5* btw, the lady was super nice.
