"Cute restaurant serving Asian fusion food. Atmosphere and service were 10/10. baos: I wasn't blown away by the soft shell crab to be honest wouldn't order again, I'm not a fan of wasabi tho and it comes with some kind of wasabi mayo. The chicken one was slightly better, mainly due to the absence of wasabi. Sticky aubergine: good and very sweet, I'd recommend getting a rice bowl. They were quite good (eaten with the rice) perhaps my fave dish. Chicken wings: very crispy, a bit oily but overall I liked them Rice cake with spicy tuna: good dish, again not a fan of spicy mayo or fried rice cubes but they were super crispy and it was a good combo I guess just not for me. Korean octopus: it's just octopus with a dipping sauce! Good combo. Prawn and scallop dumpling: I was quite disappointed by this dish the skin of the dumpling was a bit dry and the filling a bit bland in the end. Perhaps it's because I had them after all the spicy mayo, wasabi mayo etc etc but I wanted to love them and just couldn't! Tha cassava cake with ice cream was nice, never had something similar before and I enjoyed it. Overall I asn't too impressed with the food. I'm tired of having mayo literally everywhere, there's mayos with siracha sauce, or with wasabi, or with something else but it's always mayo. Perhaps Asian fusion and its abuse of mayo just are't my vibe anymore Having said that, food quality was great, the presentation was also very nice and there was a good atmosphere."

"Spotted this place on Yelp after so many people bookmarked it, just as well as I'm rarely in town and would never have known it existed After some negotiating traffic and road closures I arrive at the door, first impressions is .... Oh no it's just a take out place .... I go in and I'm surprised to see it has ample bar seating and some tables too! Yeah I get a seat The menu is immediately available as it doubles as your placemat, order my drinks and they come quickly. Decent amount of choice and I'm surprised at how low the prices are given its city centre location. Place an order of many things as I'm a pig Salmon maki comes first, not sure what the lovely waitress said as she placed it down however I was hungry and got stuck in, it looked different .... Then I realise it is cooked salmon.... Taste is obviously different too, just as I was feeling that it isn't really what I wanted..... Some salmon maki arrives?????? Another, this time uncooked as you would expect.... I question it and I'm told the first was for free...... What!!!! Free.... 6 maki .... To try wow! Nice! Loved it a little more now My chicken teriyaki miso ramen arrives, huge bowl, well presented and with a traditional wooden ladle, it was delightful plenty of noodles, chicken and packed full of flavour Then..... I'm feeling ashamed now .... My veg tempura arrives ..... I audibly gasp at the portion size, all that for a fiver! Geeeez I managed half the ramen and shock horror had to box up the tempura to take with me..... Anyone that knows me knows I hate doing this .... My partner Maria however does it every restaurant and it drives me crazy! However there was so much food and the tempura not even touched I had to! All that including drinks £19.20 well cheaper than I would spend in yo sushi and much more flavour with a personal service It looses a star however for the following No bubble tea as advertised on the menu (I was disappointed as I love me a bbt) The interior as much as I love an industrial/stressed/wood feel I do not however like plywood on the walls, bare concrete great, rusting metal great look, distressed wood and brickwork lovely..... Plywood cheap and nasty, I would have preferred anything even some reclaimed wood, old pallets anything but ply Next was cash only, I had none on me, it was a little inconvenient to walk down to central station to get cash out a machine and come back to pay, even if they did trust I would return (I did offer to leave my driving licence as proof of return) All in though, you go for the food and service on that I will definitely be returning"

"Service was very gracious. My leg is currently in a cast, and I arrived by wheelchair. The waiter helped us manoeuver over the step into the restaurant and around some of the tight corners. The waiter very helpfully prevented us from over ordering by suggesting we hold off on getting tempura until the rest of the food had arrived. We indeed didn't need the tempura after all. The tiny restaurant wasn't crowded at Monday lunchtime. There two other couples and a little group of Japanese businessmen. Our orders arrived very swiftly and the yakitori was kindly held back while we munched happily on salad and maki rolls. We shared maki rolls (salmon skin, california, spicy tuna) as well as yakitori and wafu salad. Attention to detail on the maki rolls was really impressive. For one thing, the rice was at the correct temperature. All too often, sushi rice is served too cold. The compression of the rice was just right too. Not falling apart when dipped in soy, but not noticeably compact either. The tuna in the spicy maki rolls had a beautiful texture and was a nice uniform cut. No scruffy scraps in the maki rolls here, which is all too often the case elsewhere. The tobiko in the california rolls was generous and there was flesh as well as skin in the crispy salmon skin rolls. Portion sizes for the wafu salad and chicken yakitori (not grilled over charcoal) were both generous. Both good, but otherwise not particularly remarkable. For dessert we shared mochi ice cream. We had one piece each of green tea, vanilla and chocolate, though we were offered a choice. The chocolate was stunning, being of good quality dark bitter chocolate, rolled in cocoa. Next time we will have three chocolate mochi, thank you. All of the flavours were pleasant though, and not overly sweet. Dessert was garnished with fresh berries and small slices of rice crispy square containing a little black sesame. In summary, we had high quality sushi that was priced accordingly. For those not constrained by office lunch hours I would urge people to take the 20% discount offered in the afternoon between 14:00 and 17:00. If I had taken the price more into account I would have rated Miyako 3.5 instead of 4. Wine is exhorbitant, with the cheapest white priced at £26 a bottle."
