    A real gem in Watford for Japanese food, though the prices are bit expensive but it is well worth it.

    A little on the pricey side but really glad to be able to get some proper Sushi in Watford

    Quite pricey and slow service but well worth it as it is the best Japanese food around

    I have been to this restaurant twice now, I was very pleased to find one so local as Japanese is my…read morefavourite cuisine. The menu is extensive, but a little on the pricey side. The Teppanyaki chefs are very talented and put on a real show for you while cooking the food. They also serve Sushi, Sashimi and Yakitori. I am lucky enough to have eaten Japanese food in Tokyo so the bar is set quite high fo me in terms of quality and authenticity. While this restaurant appears to be Chinese run rather than Japanese, the food still tastes authentic and the experience is very worthwhile. The Sake is great too, especially warm. Highly recommended, only loses one star for the prices.

    Called Saturday evening and tried a mixture of dishes…read more The Teppanyaki bit itself is great fun: around 12 seats are arranged around a metal hot plate and the (shared) chef works in front of you. In addition to preparing the food he flourishes his tools, juggles with some of the implements and even (optionally) threw the bowls fried rice to the customers! Somehow everyone I saw trying this managed to catch it, which was a relief. For starters we had Chicken Yakitori (chicken on skewers with leek and yakitori sauce), Harumaki (deep fried Japanese spring rolls) and Prawn Tempura: these varied from £4-5.50 per portion and I'd suggest one or two each as the dishes are small but tasty. We didn't try the Sushi, Makimono, Temaki or Sahimi, although some of the others at the shared table did and it looked nicely presented. For the mains (£10-17) we went with Traditional Teppanyaki: this is the food that the chef prepares in front of you on the hot plate. This is safe, but I don't think it would be a good idea for very young children. We had Tuna filet steak seared and served with teriyaki sauce and chopped pickled ginger; Scottish sirloin Hibachi Steak which was served to order, in our case rare. The steak and teriyaki sauce was lovely, the tuna was very nice but a little overcooked to our tastes. This was accompanied by egg fried rice with chicken at the start (£4.00), fried mushrooms and bean sprouts at the end (included in the cost). Everything was nicely cooked and very tasty. We had a bottle of Australian Merlot, which was good value at under £15. The food was good value, the staff were helpful and polite, and there is a reasonable amount of parking outside. Highly recommended.

So my initial challenge was to find a place to have a nice dinner as I didn't know the area. So a lot may have changed since my visit, but I believe this was a well deserved rating as the ambiance was quiet, and quaint. The service was good and the food was definitely satisfying, as I was craving some Japanese food. If I'm ever in the area again, and craving Japanese food, I'd go back. So enjoy and I hope the quality is just as good as when I was there.

    After searching far and wide in Maidenhead I returned to the only Japanese restaurant in town. It…read morewas nothing remarkable but, of the restaurants in Maidenhead, it was top-notch. This says more about Maidenhead than it does about Miyazaki. Although the restaurant had mostly empty tables I was offered a table that they'd need within about 80 minutes. "No problem" I thought, along with "where is this crowd they're expecting"? Eighty minutes later and it was obvious they were truthful. This is Maidenhead's "hot" restaurant. With a sushi menu stretching all the way from tuna to salmon and back again (!) it's fair to say that the selection of raw fish here doesn't go deep or extensive. Does Hamachi even make its way to the UK? I never saw it on a menu once. Miyazaki does offer salmon nigiri both raw and lightly torched and that's about as exotic as things get. What they do they do well enough and certainly well enough for the area. If you're in Maidenhead you might as well make a reservation to dine at Miyazaki. It's not the only restaurant in town but I think it might be best one.

    Miyazaki - California Roll & Spicy Tuna Roll are good enough for this area.  This is the only Japanese restaurant in town.

    Great spot to satisfy your Japanese food craving. After a…read moreday of walking at a local estate, we were so happy to find this restaurant to be located only 8 mins drive from our Airbnb. Easy to get to from the handy dandy Yelp directions. As the rest of England, your tricky bit will be parking. There's limited parking in front, on the street. There's also a huge lot 3 mins away on the back side of the locale. Pay by phone on the ringo app. The place is small but the tables were place strategically as to maximize their space without feeling crowded. Pleasant atmosphere and everyone seem to be enjoying their meal. We ordered some crunchy gyoza, spider rolls and yakiniku to start. The gyoza were crunchy without being hard. The spicy Mayo on it gave it that extra yummy oomph. So good but my husband did wish it came with some gyoza sauce on the side Their spider rolls were ok. They needed a little bit more of salty. They were on the blend side. The yakiniku were SO good. Beef was cooked perfectly and the sauce on it was so delish. I wish I had ordered two more skewers. The mains were Salmon teriyaki don and chicken don. I enjoyed my salmon to the very last bit. Served with salad and on a bed of rice. Great seasoning and nicely cooked. Simplicity of a dish but so satisfying. My husband did like his dish but contrary to what I think, his dish was a bit on the salty side. The girl helping us was flying solo but was attentive and friendly throughout the whole visit.
