Dilemma! Had a lunch appointment, but I was craving both
Mexican and sushi. Excellent solution to satisfying that problem is Mira Sushi
in the Flatiron District.
In particular, ordering the Spicy Tuna Pizza is a must!
It’s guacamole, masago, kani, and furikake flakes on top of
a crispy roti. Sooo good and really filling.
My dining companion ordered the beef sirloin bulgogi rice
bowl lunch special.
Sure, it looks like a salad, but there’s actually brown rice
(it comes with white rice, but for $1 extra you may substitute with brown) in
the bowl topped with beef sirloin, shitake mushrooms, sautéed vegetables, spicy
bean paste, and a sunny-side up egg.
We accompanied our lunch with a teapot of Lychee Red tea,
which is organic Yunnan tea with lychee, rose, and longan fruit scents.
The tea was a perfect complement to both the pizza as well
as our Pinkberry dessert—yogurt mousse, lychees, blueberries, strawberry sauce,
and candied orange zest. Though the yogurt and strawberry sauce were
deliciously refreshing, the lychees tasted a bit sour.
Bonus: Our
waitress was attentive and graciously refilled our teapot with hot water so
that we could enjoy our tea without having to order another pot.
Warning:
Restaurant gets crowded very quickly. Had an 11:30 a.m. lunch. The place became
full in less than an hour. I cannot even imagine how busy the dinner rush must
be.
