I have been coming to Miyako Express for years, and it never disappoints. I genuinely love their prices--they offer incredible value, along with a fantastic variety of bowls and plate deals that keep the menu exciting. No matter what I order, I enjoy the food every single time. It's fresh, delicious, and hits the spot every visit. A special shoutout to my favorite staff member, Martha! She is beyond kind and patient, always making the experience feel welcoming and warm. Excellent food paired with wonderful customer service keeps me coming back time and time again. Highly recommend! read more

I've driven past this place for years and am only now trying it. Pretty good variety of food selections and the portions do not disappoint, especially for the price. I recommend the beef or chicken bowls. Loaded with protein and veggies. Just the way you like it. Kiddo had the short rib plate with a simple salad. Looked pretty good. The service is polite and will hook you up with table sauces for the asking. Overall: It's a great spot if you need to dip in and out and get it to go or take a seat inside or in the benches outside. Lots to choose from team! read more

This place is delicious, a lot of food for a great price. I always get a combination plate, very filling and tasty. It's a small location with indoor and outdoor seating but never busy where there's nothing available to seat at. Sharing a parking lot in a plaza with other busy spots will make parking hard. I have not seen a bathroom which may be an issue for some. read more

I've frequented this place for 10+ years and always order the nigiri platter (10 pieces). The tempura is some of the best in the city--you can tell they always use fresh oil. It's very inexpensive for sushi while still offering good-tasting fish, which is what keeps me coming back. I've never had an issue with service; they're consistently fast and efficient. My parents usually get the teriyaki plates, so it's a spot we can all agree on, especially since it's less than five minutes away. They also have their own parking lot and a small seating area if you prefer dining in. I'm glad this spot has survived COVID and the current economy. read more

Got back to LA and we were very hungry. Son recommended it. The food was plentiful and very good. You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. It is small so we had to sit at the counter because there weren't any tables available. Will go back when we are in the area. read more

One of my fave restaurants! The sushi is delicious and tastes fresh. I dont think we have ever had anything we dont like from here.

Nothing fancy here, just reliable and quick sushi to satisfy the craving. I ordered the caterpillar roll and spicy tuna roll, which were both delicious. The spicy tuna roll was pretty spicy, but not to the point you couldn't finish it. They also have noodle soups and rice plates, which I haven't tried yet. They're relatively good priced for what it is. read more

It has delicious sushi and is a great place for pick up and go. Great options to choose from as well!

My family always goes here when we're down in SoCal! It's quaint--shares a small parking lot with other businesses and only has a few tables inside with some stools. There's also a couple tables outside. You order at the counter and they'll call out your order when it's ready. There's a fridge with a variety of drinks. I always order chicken teriyaki and California rolls during lunch. The sauce is delicious and the chicken is tender and perfectly grilled. The sushi is fluffy and soft, and the seaweed is easy to chew. Will definitely be back! read more

I can alway count on the restaurant to serve up a delicious plate of food. There are so many delicious plates of food to choose from. The combo plates are of great value. Plenty of food for the price. I enjoy their combo sushi with teriyaki chicken plate. Service is fast. You have a choice of dining outside or inside. This is a small sushi restaurant which is always busy. There is free parking in the parking lot or street parking. Credit card and debit cards are acceptable. read more

If you're indecisive between beef, chicken, and sushi this is the place to gooo! They've got combo plates and it's so yummy. My personal favorite is Combo C because I'm obsessed with their Crunch Roll sushi and beef. The staff is always so nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Seating is limited both indoors and outdoors, so keep that in mind during busy hours. no frills, just good food and friendly vibes. Definitely one of my new go-to spots now. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Parking: 2/5 Family friendly: 3/5 Stroller friendly: 2/5 ADA accessible: 2/5 Biggest positive things here are the flavor of the food, amount of food for the money and with my combo bowl, it was made fresh to order. Not sure if they have an actual teriyaki sauce, but they use sort of a ginger sweet soy for their salad and a sauce their meats. Not so positive things: parking is really hard (we went during dinner time) because of the small lot that's shared between a lot of businesses. Also, the dining area is quite small with probably 4 tables and then stool seating. Overall however, if I'm the area I'll be back for sure. read more

I hadn't been here in a while, but I came in on a Tuesday evening and ordered a chicken bowl that came with veggies. I waited for them to prepare it, and that was roughly about 8-10 minutes. The restaurant is quaint and clean with a TV playing the news as you wait for your order. The food tastes really good, but the color of the chicken looked like it could've been cooked a little longer. I only immediately ate the smaller pieces that looked charred, but I waited to get home and cook the other chicken a little longer. I would return, because I like I said earlier, the food was good, but I would request that the chef cook the chicken a little longer. read more

We needed a place clean, close to the LAX, and quick. So, we ended up with Miyako Express. The vibe gave me a Mexican taco shop. I wasn't expecting a sushi place to be located like this. It turned out to be a nice, cute sushi restaurant. We ordered some sushi from the pictured menu on the wall. It seemed like they didn't have a lot of variety of fish or seafood, but not a problem. At the end, this is a small cute restaurant. We got a Red Dragon and a Green Dragon. Our orders came out quickly. They were both good, but not the best, or made me to go back. The rice was thick, the roll got broken while holding it with chopsticks. The tuna didn't taste so fresh. We were there around 6:30 pm. Maybe the tuna waited outside for dinner time. They were plenty of parking spot during our time there. read more

Yes, so I will no longer be coming back here anymore mainly because, the service was terrible 1/10, and also the lady just standing right in front, acting like she looking at me, like some freaking weirdo, trying to stare me down or something. That was so freaking rude. So nope, no longer will I come back, nope!! Forget this lame place. read more

Foods good, but the service is not the best. I'm a regular, and always try to call in advance to order my food since Im limited on time, but they never want to answer my numerous calls ... it's VERY frustrating and an inconvenience read more

I called this place an hour and a half before closing -- twice -- and nobody picked up the phone. I still decided to drive over, got there 20 minutes before closing, and was told they were already closed. When I asked about the hours posted online, the Mexican lady at the front cut me off mid-sentence and said it was a "slow night" and they were "trying to close out." If that's the case, then lock your doors and turn off your lights instead of pretending to still be open. The attitude was nasty, and it was clear they just didn't want to serve anyone else. To make it worse, they turned the lights off right after I walked out -- like, wow, thanks for proving the point. I've been here plenty of times (even last weekend around the same time) and never had an issue, slow night or not. But after tonight? They won't be getting another dollar from me read more

So last night maybe around 7ish, me and my best friend decided to grab some sushi( we come here at least once a month). This is the second time we've received dismissive service, by ironically the same person(Asian lady short hair cut extremely rude and we now discovered racist.) So Let's get to last night we walk in it two other customers sitting I assume waiting on their orders. We order pay and as we're moving towards the door to let the customer that just walked in order( these customers were not black, we are). The restaurant is small we decide to go back to the car(Hispanic lady said it wouldn't be long). We make our way back inside the restaurant, absolutely believing our food would be ready(NOPE). No Acknowledgement when we came back in. They were ironically serving the group(that came after us, order and paid after us with more items). We look at eachother(Bff) in disbelief like this can't be happening. I Guess The Lady realized what we had witnessed and starting playing with the bag and trying to explained rolls take time. Very much belittling considering the group had multiple rolls, plus entrees. I stated we definitely ordered first and paid before they stepped inside the building, they basically rolled their eyes and looked at the workers as if we were the issue because she decided that we should be treated like second class citizens. In this client this type of behavior shows a bigger problem, and that this isn't the first time this has happened. Very much disappointed in the treatment and the entitlement that was displayed. read more

Miyako Express - Thursday Special Teriyaki chicken plate - Japanese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Kids were out for the night so husband and I thought to try this place out. We were very disappointed! First of all we ordered from the menu that we saw online to find out that when my husband picked up the food the prices were all completely different and was way more than what we thought we were gonna pay! The tempura was gummy. The chicken salad was chopped up lettuce with chicken on top and dressing on the side. Edamame's weren't bad. I don't think we'll be going back there for a long time!! read more

Drove a bit to get here as we continue to look for replacement for our favorite sushi place (formerly Sushi N Go of Torrance). Ordered at the window and sat at out of the outdoor benches for dinner with the family. The rolls are small. Think small like supermarket size rolls that fit in flat plastic containers. Not plump like the rolls that you'd get at a more traditional sit down restaurant. Many of these rolls would make a styrofoam container look like a mansion. Not a lot of fish included. Ordered: - inside out rainbow roll - had the most fish of what we ordered - Washington roll. Kids liked this best - hot date night roll. Only roll we ordered that was supposed to be spicy - Saturday special of teriyaki chicken (DRY), beef (DRY), rice and California roll - Shrimp tempura with Ramen and Spicy tuna roll 5 entrees yielded a bill above $60. Flavor wise, I also don't have much to write home about. Without soy sauce, there wasn't innate flavor. The udon soup of the ramen noodles really did not deliver any notes of interest; it was difficult to eat as the ramen, by nature, has zero flavor. The spicy tuna (roll and atop the Hot Date Night roll), which should have some bite, was yet unremarkable. We ordered around 530PM where there wasn't a lot of others waiting. It look a looong time before our items were ready. Hubby wondered if someone else picked up our order mistakenly. He joked how this was an "express" restaurant (its in the name). It was just super slow. The trash can was overflowing (the wind was taking napkins off the top) and I could not help but think guiltily of all the plastic waste from this little hole-in-the-wall kiosk. We ordered 5 items and it came in 7 plastic and styrofoam containers. It was also a lot of loose plastic lids that we contended with in the wind. This could have been easily consolidated - we are used to multiple rolls coming from other restaurants in one single larger container. No warmth in the service. I was the only one saying Thank You. No one wiped the tables. No one emptied the trash. We will continue our search for our favorite sushi place elsewhere. read more
