8. Miko Sushi Restaurant

Chasing after the best sushi in Ulaanbaatar can be a heart wrenching endeavor, as is to be expected when living in a landlocked country. Mongolia's closest neighbors can enjoy the freshest of seafood, but fresh seafood comes at a cost for sushi lovers here, and maybe more tragically, it must be consumed quickly.The city is seeing a growing number of restaurants offering quality sushi and sashimi on their menus. This is evidence of a growing number of effective importers bringing in fresh fish quickly and at reasonable prices.After one too many run-ins with tuna a day or two past its prime, it was with some trepidation that I went to Miko Sushi. Photos of the towering masterpieces and overflowing catering platters prepared by its sushi chef had me intrigued. Miko Sushi is located south east of the State Circus, next door to Yokohama Tires. It doesn't quite add up to a "Little Tokyo" vibe, but it makes the small eatery easier to find. The restaurant has a few tables sandwiched between bar seating, including seats in front of the sushi chef's station, and two private dining areas with dropped floors for a more traditional Japanese dining experience.A menu in English and Mongolian boasts a wide variety of Japanese classics, including udon (noodle soup), donburi (rice bowls), Japanese curries, and teriyaki dishes. The sushi menu dominates however, and the wide range of maki (rolls), nigiri (topped rice), sashimi (sliced fish), and specialty rolls presents an endless array of options for a quick bite or a full platter. Miko also offers a really wonderful selection of side dishes including flavorful gyoza, miso nasubi, and agedashi tofu.To check out the basics, I ordered Miko Sushi Special A, a sampler of classic California rolls and a variety of nigiri. The six pieces of nigiri were delightfully fresh, and included maguro (tuna), sake (salmon), toro (bluefin tuna), ebi (shrimp), hotate (scallop) and unagi (saltwater eel). The special came with a well balanced miso soup and a salad with a Japanese style mayo dressing topped with bonito. It was a filling lunch and an excellent way to check in on the quality of Miko's "basics". The unagi, or I suppose it could have been anago (freshwater eel), had only the lightest of seasoning seemingly applied after grilling, but was cooked well. Others at the table had the teriyaki beef and tonkatsu pork. No rave reviews for either of those entrees, but the portion sizes were generous for the price, and while they weren't stand out dishes, plates were cleaned.Overall, I was pleased that the-ever-elusive fresh sushi in Ulaanbaatar had been found! It's always a gamble ordering sushi in Ulaanbaatar, but it's nice to know that you can double down at Miko Sushi Restaurant. Average dining cost per person: 2,500 -5,000 MNT for small plates, 11,000-35,000 MNT for large plates

Asiana Buddha Vista is a fun alternative to your hotel restaurant. Serves pan-Asian cuisine, with a large drinks list (including sake). Best to order a few items for the table and share. Atmosphere is festive. UB is short on good restaurants; Asiana is an easy mid-range standout.
