Great sushi, great service, great location. ”

They have valet, and a cool sushi bar and nice decor (if you want to impress a special he/she). ”
- “
I've tried to like other places, but Mia has never been anything but yummy, fun, and a good experience. ”
- “
The sushi was no where near as good as what we're used to having either in Studio City or in Pasadena, and the atmosphere was lousy to boot. ”
- “
The staff has always been friendly and fun. ”
- “
Also obnoxious is the valet service when there is ample street parking just a few feet in front of the restaurant. ”

- “
The calamari are always crispy and light, the sushi looks and tastes like a work of art, and the dessert (strawberry and banana tempura on whipped cream drizzled in chocolate sauce!) ”
- “
For dessert we were recommended the house specialty: fresh strawberry and banana tempura, with a dab of fresh whipped cream and dribbles of chocolate syrup. ”

- “
think good food is good food and I think Mia is consistently good food. ”
- “
But worst of all is the sushi. ”
- “
The food was delicious, the service was very attentive, and vibe was cool and no the music wasnt too loud - it was actually at just the right level. ”
- “
The food was great! ”
- “
My wife and I love Sushi and are always excited to try new spots and usually eat sushi about once a week. ”
- “
The sushi is average, there are some creative takes on rolls. ”
- “
The rice was dry, the fish oily and most of the time it was all drizzled in some overbearing sauce or stuffed full of mayo. ”
- “
Sit at the sushi bar for good service! ”
- “
Kazu (I think thats the way his name is spelled) the head sushi chef, is the best in town. ”
- “
We were very impressed by the service and fresh sashimi. ”
- “
The sushi is always fresh and flavorful. ”
- “
Bad Service, bad sushi ”
- “
Great sushi, great service, great location. ”
- “
The fish quality is amazing and they were very open to personiling rolls for me! ”
- “
The sushi is mediocre at best with fish of questionable quality. ”
- “
Yes, a lot of the rolls have a wierd pink sauce on them, but its actually pretty tasty, and you can always ask to not have it on them if it bothers you. ”
- “
The sushi is barely passable, the service was severely lacking, the music was WAY too loud to have any sort of enjoyable conversation. ”
- “
Servers are nice and friendly, and even if they weren't I would still go just for the cuisine. ”
- “
Regardless, the sushi was still gross, swimming in mayo, and everything was overpriced anyway. ”
- “
Who would have thought that Eagle Rock would have good sushi? ”
- “
Neither a fun experience nor good food. ”
- “
the CD14 is tasty. ”
- “
Too many good sushi places in the city to visit here again. ”
- “
The fish was terrible and the service was worse. ”
- “
For dessert we were recommended the house specialty: fresh strawberry and banana tempura, with a dab of fresh whipped cream and dribbles of chocolate syrup. ”
- “
But buying extremely overpriced, under-fresh sushi was just too much. ”
- “
They have valet, and a cool sushi bar and nice decor (if you want to impress a special he/she). ”
- “
You must try the seared pepper-crusted tuna in their amazing lemon sauce. ”
- “
The calamari are always crispy and light, the sushi looks and tastes like a work of art, and the dessert (strawberry and banana tempura on whipped cream drizzled in chocolate sauce!) ”
- “
The sushi and sashimi is always good, and always seems fresh. ”
- “
The food was all terrible, the drink selection crappy and everything way overpriced. ”
- “
The food is fresh, delicious and served in an unusally tasty manner. ”
- “
The fish never looked fresh (we sent our tuna back because it looked so bad and even smelled a dreadful) and tasted just as bad. ”
- “
Mia truly has some of the best quality fish in town (& I've eaten almost everywhere) and the price isn't that different from most moderately priced establishments. ”
- “
was looking forward to having a nice upscale sushi place around here, too! ”
- “
Its the only place of its kind within 15 miles, and the sushi is great. ”
- “
There are so many great nearby sushi places in Pasadena or Little Tokyo or even Santa Monica that I would stay far, far away from Mia. ”
- “
One would expect to pay these prices in West LA for good sushi, but not in Eagle Rock for unimpressive, mediocre sushi. ”
- “
Overpriced, mediocre sushi, poor service ”
- “
love sushi. ”
- “
They both came with steamed rice, and a unique mixture of sauteed vegetables- bean sprouts, bok choi, and mushrooms. ”
- “
In fact, there have been times I've been disappointed because something is not available because the chef didn't like the quality of what was available for a particular fish. ”
- “
I've tried to like other places, but Mia has never been anything but yummy, fun, and a good experience. ”
- “
Living in Eagle Rock we were especially excited to give Mia a try as nothing would make us happier than a local fresh fish spot. ”
- “
The tuna was warm and fatty, the salmon oily and lord know what was wrong with the eel. ”
- “
We both love sushi and were excited for Eagle Rock to finally get it's very own sushi spot. ”
- “
The sushi was no where near as good as what we're used to having either in Studio City or in Pasadena, and the atmosphere was lousy to boot. ”
- “
Maybe if this place was in Santa Monica it would all be fine; the prices justified, the poor service typical, and the fish might even be fresh that close to the ocean. ”
- “
I'm not a huge sushi fan, but I have had enough of it to know when sushi is bad or good, and when I get the occasional sushi craving, I almost always head to Mia. ”

Overpriced, mediocre sushi, poor service ”
- “
For the life of me I don't understand what people have enjoyed here and how anybody can give it a positive rating. ”
- “
The staff has always been friendly and fun. ”
- “
The service followed suit, with obnoxious waiters who are more interested in flirting with each other than running a restaurant. ”
- “
Maybe if this place was in Santa Monica it would all be fine; the prices justified, the poor service typical, and the fish might even be fresh that close to the ocean. ”
- “
Sit at the sushi bar for good service! ”
- “
The service, on the same hand, is HORRIBLE. ”
- “
Also obnoxious is the valet service when there is ample street parking just a few feet in front of the restaurant. ”
- “
To start, both times the valets were pushy and rude when we parked just in front of the restaurant and not with them. ”
- “
The fish was terrible and the service was worse. ”
