Miga has made some major changes in their kitchen. The trendy Asian influenced restaurant in Downtown Champaign started the makeover with their new Executive Chef Blake Biggs, who adds some of his hometown roots to their modern style cuisine.
Their most exciting addition is Sushi Chef James Kim. He's bringing his 28 years of professional culinary experience and multiple awards to their new sushi bar. You can chose from hand rolls to Chefs creations. Miga has always been among the classier restaurants but now you'll want to add it to your Champaign sushi list as well.
The Menu
Miga adds to their Asian-American menu by highlighting their new sushi bar and offering Nigiri and Sashimi, and signature rolls. They also have several Chef's Creations including the bright and flavorful Octopus Carpaccio and Ceviche.
The Ceviche includes salmon, white fish, tuna, red onion, mango, seaweed mix, and a yuzu konbu vinaigrette. The Octopus Carpaccio is made of octopus, cucumber, red onion with a garlic yuzu sauce. It's topped with salmon roe and micro greens. Both dishes show off the freshness and quality of the fish.
Their signature rolls also separate Miga from the other sushi spots in Champaign. Their Mexican roll is filled with spicy tuna, cilantro, cucumber, and avocado. It's wrapped with yellowtail, jalapeno and ponzu sauce. The spicy tuna and jalapeno continue with bright and fresh flavors that their sushi bar brings to the menu.
The hungry roll is filled with shrimp tempura, tempura fried asparagus, avocado and crab. It's wrapped with spicy tuna and eel with an eel sauce spicy aioli. The name fits because this roll sure is big. They also serve a Tuna Steak that is seared on the outside and melts in your mouth.
Miga's sushi bar brings a fresh taste to their Asian-American fusion menu. Not only can you enjoy their brunch and all of their classic menu items from before, but now you can satisfy your sushi cravings all in the same place.
