Great experience here everything was fresh and you can really tell they use high-quality fish. The sushi was clean, flavorful, and well-prepared. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the whole visit even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to read more

We tried this place randomly as we were looking for an AYCE nearby. The reviews don't do it justice. It's not the absolute best, but for AYCE it's worth it. The belt has a good selection of both rolls and nigiri, including amaebi. The fish is decently fresh, without any sus smells. The rice is occasionally a little undercooked and chewy but it's not a dealbreaker. The service was great. They gave you a water pitcher, which I liked because I drink a lot of water eating. The staff was sufficiently attentive without being overbearing, and they were nice and friendly. read more

I had this place on my list for a while now and finally got the chance to try it. Glad I went through some of the tips and reviews showing that there was a parking lot right around the corner, super convenient and helpful to know since there aren't any street parking available in front. We came for AYCE which is only on the weekends Fri-Sun, $49.99 per person which is a little bit higher than other places I've been like Hinata or Fujis but after seeing the variety of the selection I thought it wasn't too bad I don't get why some of the people were bashing the amount of selection was available. The first thing we noticed was the different anime art and the bar area. Seating area was big with some table and bar seating near the conveyor belt. We came exactly at 5pm (early bird) I guess they weren't expecting people to show up so early for AYCE but got the conveyor belt moving super fast and didn't start our time until it food started appearing. TV surrounding the area showing classic GHIBLI movies and news. For the food we had complimentary miso soup to start and on the conveyor belt we saw all kinds of nigiri, sashimi, dynamite roll, seaweed roll, seaweed salad, gyoza, grilled salmon, salmon katsu, tempura, musubi, strawberry short cake, tiramisu, dango, chocolate cake, mango pudding was all the things I saw on the belt. I was excited for every new thing I saw and wasn't disappointed at any of it. In fact I'll have to say it's one of the best quality salmon and tuna I've had compared to all the other AYCE I've tried in the Bay Area and a huge variety of food which is why I think the price was justifiable. Shout out to our server Karen for being so kind and explaining some of the rolls to us! Great spot for some yummy food and I can't wait to come back. read more

We had checked out the new Tokyo Central Market nearby. It was raining and we wanted some comfort food. We saw this place that was rated average. We thought we'd give it a try. We arrived just as they opened so we were the first ones there for lunch at 11:30 AM on Monday. We both ordered the Samurai Miso Ramen and I had chicken karaage added to mine and my husband had beef. We started with fried gyoza and those were yummy. The ramen wasn't good. The noodles were more like top ramen you get to make at home and the broth was very watery. Overall not much flavor at all. I was really disappointed. I've never had bad ramen and wasn't sure if I'd be able to know if the ramen wasn't good but I proved myself wrong. We also ordered the house hot sake and it had a bit of a vinegar taste. It wasn't good and I couldn't finish it. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I'm afraid to say I won't go back. read more

The food was delicious. We got the tuna and salmon sashimi. The sashimi was velvety and so fresh. The spider and hamachi roll was amazing and immaculate. The sashimi and rolls were great portions. The interior is filled with Studio Ghibli. The owner (I am assuming) Susan is very attentive and welcoming. She is very kind. I am no doubt coming again and bringing others. read more

Miyozen let us a Sweet 16 party for my daughter and did a fabulous job of setting up a special table for us and making a beautiful buffet table of assorted sushi rolls and appetizers. They continued to be helpful with special orders, drinks and helping with the cake. We took a really long time but never felt rushed or ignored, which was appreciated for such a large party with varied tastes. All the food was very high quality. The Ikura, Tobiko and spicy tuna were especially excellent and the beef skewers were so good we had to keep putting orders in. They also havr a fantastic sake selection. read more

Fish quality is good, but don't go for the AYCE because the belt is very slow. For my visit they only put up new fish nigiri plates every 10-15 min, other than that you're stuck with rolls and tofu pockets. So it's better off just ordering off the menu. Staff is nice and friendly. read more

Came here on a whim with friends last night and absolutely loved it! Service was great and very friendly. We got sashimi which was thick and buttery, an a few rolls that we all really enjoyed. Already plan I g on going back and I can't wait to come back for the sushi boat for a fun weekend night read more

This is my favorite sushi spot in the area! Cute aesthetic, calm dinner place, fun anime movies to watch on the tvs. The staff is really friendly and can answer any questions about the rolls.

5 stars for Miyozen -- sushi heaven in a takeout box! I ordered from Miyozen recently and let me tell you... this sushi HIT. The rolls were super fresh and beautifully put together. I got the salmon avocado roll and the salmon cream cheese roll (yes, I'm a salmon girly), and both were chef's kiss. The salmon was buttery and flavorful, the avocado was perfectly ripe, and the cream cheese added the best rich, creamy balance. Presentation was top tier too -- like look at this sushi, it's giving luxury. Even in a takeout container it felt special. Plus, the portion size was generous without being overwhelming. And the pickled ginger was nice and crisp, not soggy or sad like you sometimes get with takeout. Service was quick, everything was packaged neatly, and I'll definitely be coming back for more. If you love sushi done right, Miyozen is the spot. (PS: If you're the type to judge a place by how well they balance rice texture, fish freshness, and overall vibe -- this place passes with flying colors.) read more

We went to checked out this new Tokyo Central in the area, and my boys were very hungry, so we search this restaurant that nearby with ok review, and they offered AYCE Selection " which is All You can eat" which cost 50 dollars per person, and 4 of us. Which is very expensive for that price compared to other all you can eat, sushi places. The service is ok, the complementary miso soup it just broth, are super salty. the sashimi quality is ok. The main problem is there's really nothing for us to eat, they only served 5 pieces of sashimi twice, which is only 10 pieces, and the nigiri are only one single piece in that tiny plate. And there's a policy with 90 minutes, we were waiting and waiting a new stuff coming out from the belt, but all we do just wait and looking at those same items keeps turning around, and been sitting there for while, all we do is waiting, been 20 minutes and other 10 minutes still no new items coming out, We ended up paying 200 dollars that still not full. read more

A great local spot and a longtime neighborhood favorite for Japanese food! I've been enjoying meals here for years and even visited their Broadway location (Drunken Fish) back in the day. Their sushi belt is now open Friday through Sunday, with an all-you-can-eat option--perfect for sampling a wide variety from the menu. Everything is delicious! Friendly service, tasty food, and a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. read more

I've been here probably 10 times and I'm sure that number will only go up. The servers now recognize me at the front lol. One of my Emeryville faves! I've had take out and dined in and it's really good both ways. They package the takeout very thoughtfully, especially if you have spillable soups or other dishes in the bag. The atmosphere inside is very chill but good for families, friends, etc. I always just eat on my own. They have anime playing on the TVs, usually with captions so you still know what's going on. Service is super nice. I'm a simple roll type of person so I'm fond of the salmon roll and the spicy tuna. Good cuts, pretty decent price, always yummy. Miso soup is good but I usually opt for the vegetable tempura. Grilled squid is yummy but not for everyone. Fried oysters are crisp and I like them better with just a drizzle of lemon rather than dipped in the sauce. The sesame balls for dessert are soooo good and always leave me stuffed. Truly a great place and now they have a revolving sushi bar over the weekends (Fri-Sun) so I'm definitely going back to try that out! read more

Absolutely delicious, great food and service. My partner and I had the all you can eat and left full and satisfied.

Very large space - with the main dining hall in the back of the restaurant. Front area has a bar and large group table that didn't seem to be utilized when I dined there. So you'll need to walk past all that. They have all you can eat sushi belt dining for 49.99 which I did not do, but I can see why that would be worth it. One roll, salmon bento box (because I wanted sushi and a hot meal) and a kids udon- came out to about $65. This place seems to be Japanese run too, and while I've been dining here for take out for a while now, I've definitely been sleeping in on dining in. Service was good. It was a lot of food but will definitely be back for a reliable Japanese meal in the area. read more

First time ordering takeout from here. Usually we order sushi from Kansai but Miyozen is close to us so we thought we'd give it a shot. We made honest mistake of placing an order near closing un early afternoon, unaware they closed that early. Store owner or manager gave a long rant about how much extra work and inconvenience our order caused when I went to pick up. I get it, but my many "sorry" wasn't enough. I would've preferred they rejected the order if it was such hardship. That experience spoiled the ($100+ worth) food which we agreed wasn't as good as Kansai anyway. Not coming back. read more

Love this place; been coming here for a few years now. The food is very good, and I'm kind of a sushi snob. The service is great: very friendly and kind. The ambience is mellow, which is comforting. Try the sushi belt action on Fri-Sun nights, too. It's fun. Highly recommend. Always satisfying. read more

The sushi and desserts here are great. The ayce revolving sushi is really good and I think the $5 add-ons are worth it! We arrived at 6pm and the restaurant was pretty empty with not a lot of stuff on the rotating belt, but Helen and Susan, the waitresses let us know that if there was any sashimi or nigiri we wanted, they could let the chef know and they would put it on the belt. Around 7, the restaurant began to fill up and more variety of sushi was put on the belt. Some of the more premium nigiri we got included toro, uni, and truffle. The mango pudding is amazing and is made in house by Helen. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back! read more

First thing you should know about this hidden gem is that it is an homage to all things studio Ghibli. They run different movies on the screens and have loads of artwork on the walls. The second and slightly less important to my 17-year-old daughter was the quality of the fish. OMG it was so fresh and Rich. It felt like it had been swimming a few hours earlier. The staff was lovely, friendly and inviting. Parking is tricky, fortunately the Safeway across the street had ample free parking. read more

This is our go-to takeout spot for affordable, fresh sushi. We have gotten delivery from here over a dozen times, and it is always high quality with decent portion sizes and variety. I have only been in person once, and it was overall good service and spacious enough for a large group, but unfortunately their revolving sushi belt was undergoing repairs. I'll probably go again to experience that feature. read more

The service was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out fast and was tasty.

My lady brought me here because she previously came in a girls night out, the decor isn't too bad, many manga and comic things. A bit empty for Sunday night, sat down got a beautiful seaweed salad and wonderful gyozas. The sushi is yummy, but the rolls are smaller than usual places. That would have not been an issue if the waiting staff had bothered to offer any more ordering or dessert. Not too bad but lacks a bit of attention to detail, would only return if my lady brings me here again. read more

(5/5) - rainbow roll is a CA roll with different fish as toppings - caterpillar roll is a CA roll with avocado as toppings (I will keep trying their menu and venture outside CA rolls haha) - their large beer deal is worth it! read more

This place has been here for over 15 years, same owner, so you know the food, service and ambiance on point. The flaming dragon is a unique head turning sushi roll that comes to your table exactly as named, "flaming!" It gives the sushi a nice smoky flavor that isn't too overpowering. Loved it! A must try. read more

Been goin there for about ten years. Food has always been consistently decent/good. Some of the negative reviews are superficial and childish based on how they feel the customer service is like. They won't shower you with fake service. So don't expect anything extra. The location is in the middle of Emeryville. Junkies and thieves are always on the streets. I think given the business location and the history they are doing their best. Have some compassion for their work read more

Came here with my siblings cause we were craving sushi. Restaurant looks great inside, nice vibe and open space. Food overall, was just okay. We ordered the flaming dragon roll, 49er roll, unagi roll, ramen, and baked mussels. The rolls in my opinion werent that great. Pretty small compared to other restaurants. Baked mussels however, were very flavorful. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday. read more

Stopped by to get some wasabi because every store in the area had empty shelves and nothing available. There was literally no customers in the restaurant eating and I asked for some wasabi and offered to pay for it. The workers said to talk to the owner. The owner was disgustingly rude and said no so I offered to buy a dish and they replied "there won't be wasabi still." This is an awful way to run a business. I will never be back and no one I know will ever visit. No wonder you have no customers. I have never been treated with such terrible customer service at a restaurant. It is literally your only purpose to serve the community food. Why are you even in the business? I picked up from a different restaurant and they gave me 3x extra wasabi for free. I will frequent there. Do better! I would have tipped too. read more

It truly pains me to leave a one-star review, especially as businesses struggle to survive during the pandemic. Unlike the more passive-aggressive Yelpers, I get no smug satisfaction writing this, and it's only my 36th one-star review out of 5,667. This was a food delivery experience, and I let Grubhub know my dissatisfaction. It was squarely on the food that arrived at our home and one dish in particular, the $15.35 Sake Kama. Salmon collar is a common menu item in Japanese restaurants. When broiled properly, the salmon meat can be rich and satisfying like how it's prepared at Nikko Sushi in Berkeley. What Mizoyen did was give me not only the collar but the entire fish head including the eyeballs and teeth and charred it all to the dried-out point of inedible (photo: https://bit.ly/3C7msx8). I threw it out after one ember-saturated bite. Jamie W. didn't fare much better with the $16.45 Chicken Teriyaki Dinner. The quantity of poultry was generous, but it was rubbery, overcooked, and gloopy with sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/3C2opLj). We theoretically shared a $6.55 Veggie Spring Roll thinking it would be fresh vegetables rolled in rice paper. Instead it was deep-fried and greasy (photo: https://bit.ly/2YyNWOu). They should really call them imperial rolls or even taquitos. The $6.05 Spicy Teriyaki Miso Edamame managed to make steamed soybeans into something quite unappetizing (photo: https://bit.ly/3knLL83). The one thing they almost did right was the $8.25 pair of Potato Croquettes since the filling actually tasted like potato (photo: https://bit.ly/3qt7zTU). The problem was that it was lukewarm. A disaster from start to finish - and I have the photos to prove it. FOOD - 1 star...that was NOT sake kama AMBIANCE - n/a...irrelevant and no plan to visit after my experience SERVICE - 2 stars...well, it arrived TOTAL - 1 star...honestly an almost complete mess RELATED - Hungry for Japanese food?
