"Dined here on the evening of 3/16]]Thank you to my BD for finding Miyakko Japanese Cuisine and making the decision to come here for dinner.The restaurant is quite small but comfortable spacious enough IMO. There were 2 servers manning the restaurant and they both seemed to tag team when it came down to taking orders assisting patrons needs. CAGE was the server who primarily assisted us throughout our meal- this review is more so directed towards him. Don't be overwhelmed but the menu here is massive. There are pages and pages of Japanese traditional foods, sushi options, and assorted appetizers. We decided on: Nigiri Deluxe 9pc chef choice assorted nigiri], 2 Item Dinner Bento w/ teriyaki salmon california rolls], Star Roll, Under The Sea Roll, Wakame Salad seaweed].Food:Our meal came out fairly quickly and thanks to Cage's honest assessment, I refrained from order another roll or two. Our table was kind of a tight squeeze once everything was brought out. Each meal starts off with a house salad and some miso soup- both very tasty. The dinner bento box came with 3 mini sides tofu, seaweed salad, a pickled radish/cucumber dish]. Bonus point simply for that- not only did it add to the presentation but the sides complimented the entree very well. The highlight of the meal was the 9pc nigiri deluxe which included uni a plump scallop. Everything was fresh, had a clean finish, and portions were great. Wakame salad was too watery and too sweet for my tastebuds- wouldn't order that again. Under The Sea Roll Star Roll were both delicious but if I had to chose between the two, UTS is an total knock out!! Shout out to Cage for making our meal THAT MUCH MORE amazing and bonus points for him recognizing my daughter's small sign language gestures!! He was extremely attentive, patient, and extremely kind throughout the meal. Any all requests that were made was welcomed with a smile. 5/5 stars for both Cage the quality foods that Miyakko serves!! I'd come back in a heartbeat and you best believe I'm going for that nigiri again!!!"

"My friend and I came by for a weekday lunch to take advantage of their lunch specials they seemed so cheap (especially nowadays). We stopped by around 12:30 on a Monday to an empty restaurant, and while we were there, we were the only customers.The lunch specials were actually so inexpensive, so we decided to order 3 to share between the two of us. First was the sushi lunch. The California rolls were a bit mediocre the imitation crab meat was quite tasteless. The fish was fine not the freshest, I think, but nothing too problematic. The imitation crab nigiri was not very good, which might be a recurring theme. The ebi (shrimp) was also average.Next was the sushi sashimi lunch, which was largely just the previous characters arranged in slightly different roles. A bit disappointing, overall, and even my favourite salmon sashimi fell a bit flat. Last was the sushi and maki deluxe we picked the yellowtail maki. The nigiri was of similar quality to the other combos. Yellowtail maki was pretty good, although inconsistently so (there was one piece that was nearly unchewable). Tempura was actually really quite good crispy and yummy :)Overall, the price was indeed quite low, and we had so much food, but was it worth it? For this quality, I would say no. While nothing was expressly bad, I think that there are much better options in the area (for just a little higher price) that I would rather go to instead."

"So this could have been a 5 Star Yelp review. But downgrading due to the lack of service on a Friday night. I blame management, and in this case, it could just be a family owned and run business. We only had to wait 10minutes to get a table so that was good. However, the hostess taking our order was so flustered as she was the only one that was taking orders with a packed house! There were two other boys that were either cleaning the tables and seating people but not sure if they were trained to take orders. We had two friends join us spur of the moment that evening so we had a great time. No rush by the restaurant to move on. We stayed there for over 1.5hours. Not really because we wanted to, but it seemed it took a very long time to make the sushi rolls. And we had to keep tracking down our hostess to get some of the items that we ordered. So now for the good stuff. The taste of almost every roll was phenomenal. The only one I didn't like was the Slow Burn Roll, which had an interesting texture to it and no burn to it. But the other rolls and the Sashimi platter were excellent. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was to die for! One of the few places that I have been to that actually serve this. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the rolls on the menu. Total bill for 4 people ended up around $170 including 2 beers and hot tea. We were not even asked if we wanted dessert nor did we want to stay any longer. But it was great to watch the Warriors game that was on while we ate. A very cozy restaurant and the locals know this has great food. I hope the owners take note of this and at least get someone else who can wait tables."

"I didn't know this place was kaiten (conveyor) sushi, so that might help gauge expectations better. I ordered through Uber Eats and was overwhelmed with the variety of choices, which is both good and bad they tailor to what you might crave but then they don't seem to really specialize in anything if they're offering everything, you know? I didn't get sushi this round and was satisfied with my order, but nothing really stood out. Chicken Karaage some inconsistency as a few pieces were better than others. It's a super light fried chicken karaage where there's no real crunch, it's relatively soft and not crispy. Pro or con depending on your preference. The chicken was inconsistent as some were super juicy yet others a tad bit dry. I appreciated that they attached salt and pepper for me to customize. I do wish they included spicy mayo rather than regular mayo, as that's more standard for chicken karaage. I'd probably keep this at a 3/5 item. Salmon Chips I haven't had these before and have seen them around. They're pretty good, not sure if it's specifically this location or all salmon skin chips as I don't have anything to compare to. They're pretty fatty and a great source of omega 3s with a beautiful crunch to them. I'd give this a 5/5. Pork Tonkatsu Bento Disappointing. Salad was normal, edamame was normal, but bland because of it as it didn't come with salt or anything. Got four pieces. Rice is normal as well, can't go wrong with that. The most disappointing part was the focus of this item the pork. It was super dry and not that crispy. Stiff to bite because it was so dry. Katsu sauce helped a bit, but it was way too salty and soy saucey. At first, it felt promising as I tried the sauce and it was super viscous but then the taste let me down. I've seen a lot of watery katsu sauces which I don't like but they tasted great."
