Asia Bay

Bay Harbor Islands' Asia Bay Bistro & Sushi Bar boasts nouvelle Asian cuisine, but apart from the sushi, it's really a traditional Japanese restaurant with some token Thai tossed in for good measure. The sushi bar visually dominates the room, and its fare occupies quite a bit of the menu — to the tune of more than 60 sushi/sashimi items in almost every conceivable combination. The sushi and sashimi selections — in fact, all the Japanese dishes — exude a graceful elegance, and the fish is as pristine as its presentation. Many of the entrées are served with soup or salad — including steak teriyaki, chicken tempura, shrimp pad thai, big bowls of soba or udon noodle soup, and all sorts of sushi combos.
