Hubby and I had such a nice time dining at this bustling community spot! I always order a salad because I like Japanese dressing. I also got a really fresh-tasting spicy California roll. Hubby thought his nigiri was really fresh too. I also tried their udon. The broth was light, but flavorful and it just felt really restorative. It came with rice and pickled daikon radish. I have never been served udon this way, but the rice was yummy! For drinks, I got a very generous $8 glass of sauv blanc. Honestly, everything was really reasonably priced and the service was good! A cute little spot serving authentic Japanese food in the middle of Watsonville?! We will definitely return. read more

Sad to say, but Miyuki's has gone downhill. Just look at this plate. How could you serve something like that and be proud of it? read more

This restaurant serves fresh and high quality authentic Japanese food. Take a look at the nigiri combo. How many restaurants serve such a beautifully presented wide variety of fresh fish in their nigiri combo? Everything I ate here: the sushi, the vegetable tempura, the udon and rice was made to perfection. Needless to say this place is not a well kept secret in Watsonville. It can get busy on a weekend for dinner. We waited about 20 minutes to get seated and it was well worth the wait. Miyuki also has a nice community feel. It feels friendly and inviting and you can have a private conversation without needing to shout. It's definitely a very special treat to dine here. read more

Tried this place out recently after hearing so many good reviews and was not disappointed. We went on a pretty busy night, but were seated outdoors immediately. It was a very nice night, the service was good, and the food was delicious. We tried their two & three item dinner which comes with rice, a salad, and a miso soup. We tried their salmon teriyaki, chicken Katsu, and tempura. Both times, we also got a California roll and edamame. The food was delicious, I definitely get the hype. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking is very limited, but there is some street parking available. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Came here to pickup food for a Dr office (this is her fav sushi spot in town) and decided to come early, so I didn't have to eat in my car for once!lol The Dr office placed the order over the phone, so it would be ready for me, which surprised me, since each time I have tried to call the order in previously, they never pick up! I ordered the albacore tataki appetizer, which was pretty good! It comes with grated garlic and ginger, and is served in a ponzu sauce! For lunch I got the Tokyo roll, which was really fresh tasting! It comes with the smallest amount of tempura, but it's not overpowering at all, so the focus is more on the fresh fish (spicy tuna, tuna and hamachi). The service was really good! They had all my to go stuff ready for me, and the waiter even offers to help me to my car! And I noticed that they sell sweatshirts that say "40 years of business" so this place has been here for forever! read more

Fresh, high quality, and fast service! Ordered a spider roll, a Jenny roll and five different kinds of nigiri: scallop (Kaibashira), Oyster (Kaki), Aji (Striped Jack), Kanpachi (Amberjack) and Amaebi (Spot Prawn). Everything was super fresh and well-prepared + presented. Waitress showed great hospitality and explained the local beer offerings in detail as well. A real gem in Watsonville!

Glad we chose this restaurant for dinner! We made the mistake of not making a reservation beforehand as it was completely packed on a Friday evening. There's indoor and outdoor covered seating with a heated patio. Luckily, there was open seating at the bar so my sister and I sat there. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including the mussel dynamite, jenny roll, philly roll, spicy scallop roll, spicy tuna roll, and Miyuki 3 dinner combo (Chicken Katsu, chicken teriyaki, & sashimi). The freshness of the fish was outstanding. I believe we were supposed to get miso soup and a salad with our dinner combo, but we didn't mind that our server forgot about it, given the generous portion sizes of our other selections. I didn't understand the purpose of the broccoli with the kewpie mayo that came with the dinner combo. The sushi rolls are not tightly packed so they do easily fall apart, but the rice they use is good. The rolls are also massive so you will get full from it. All of the ingredients they use are fresh. I probably would have liked if there was some sort of sauce on the rolls, but they're still tasty alone. Parking options include two small dedicated lots, but street parking is also available, albeit limited. In summary, the food was excellent, the staff friendly, service prompt, and the prices reasonable. read more

We had an excellent dinner here, I understand what all of the good reviews are about. It is not a large place, so definitely make reservations even on a weeknight. Parking was a bit painful as there is a tiny lot in front but that lot was blocked by some truck so it was tricky to get out of. There is parking around back, where there is a large mural with the Japanese flag, so that is an option and there is a back entrance so you can get inside from there, but otherwise look for street parking. The place can hold almost twice as many folks in good weather as there is a good sized back patio. We came on a Weds night and it was full, we didn't have a reservation and there were 4 parties ahead of us. We were fine with sitting at the sushi bar so we were able to sit there immediately. The chefs and servers were great. The owner is very friendly and nice, helped my friend navigate items that were vegan - on request they can make a tempura batter without eggs that was excellent, so if you are vegan you can request that - it takes some extra time so be patient. Chef also said that the wonton wrappers for their homemade gyoza might contain egg which was thoughtful. We started with the homemade veggie gyoza that had edamame and veggies in them. The gyoza were freshly grilled and delicious. My friend likes the fermented soybeans natto and they had them as an option as sushi or alone in a bowl on request, he got the sushi form and loved it. The vegetable tempura was excellent, with 5 kinds of vegetables, wonderfully light batter, cooked perfectly and a great dipping sauce. I had the dragon roll with shrimp tempura, avocado, and unagi - it was really excellent and had a generous helping of wasabi and ginger. A regular customer had a birthday and they turned out the lights to bring out a cupcake with a candle and everyone snag happy birthday, it was very sweet. Clearly many local regulars come here which is always a good sign. Super friendly and accommodating, delicious food and good atmosphere, everything you want for a good dinner. read more

Nice meal here! We got a variety of items, all of which were quite solid. Specifically we got some rolls, udon, and some dumplings to split. The dumplings were probably our favorite, but the spicy tuna roll was a close second. Is it the best sushi you'll ever have? Definitely not, but did the trick! read more

The teriyaki sauce had so much sugar, it made me sick. They have really gone downhill.

Omgawwwdd! So very very fresh and yummy! Tokyo, Japan quality sushi and entrees! I am an unagi anything lover and this restaurant serves 10/10 bbq eel! All of the nigiri of Hamachi, tuna, albacore, salmon, yellowtail and of course unagi was of excellent quality. Special rolls of Dragon, Futomaki, Rainbow and Spicy Tuna Tokyo were deliciously devoured. My sis and I had to order out fav Agedashi dofu which was perfectly cooked. That is difficult to do; in keeping the thin layer of outside crisp on the soft tofu while soaked in its own light and savory broth. Our teenage boys ordered a pork katsudon and a chicken udon. They ate it all down to the last piece of rice and the last sip of broth! We were a party of 7 and there was nothing left on the table! Maybe a dab of wasabi left. The 2 included pictures are only 1/3 of what we ordered. Every table inside the restaurant was occupied by 6:30pm. We reserved an early Saturday seating at 5:30pm just to be accommodated on a short notice. This is an awesome sushi restaurant to dine at for any celebrations! (my birthday) read more

Excellent quality . Best octopus I've ever had . And if the octopus was good best believe everything else is top tier

Their food is amazing so expect to wait a while to be seated. Sometimes when you call to place a order you won't be able to so you actually need to physically go and wait between 30-45 minutes but again, it's worth the wait. They are friendly and as accommodating as the small little space will allow. Definitely make it a point to go just don't go if you're starving or take a snack while you wait! read more

I had the deliscious circumstance of dining at Miyuki in Watsonville on East Lake Sunday night for the first time. Sushi special offerings were appealing, and I enjoyed the rolls that I had. I usually ask for "low rice" when ordering, although I'd forgotten to mention it, I was happy to find that what I ordered did not come w an excess of rice.  What stood out for me about other menu items was that the gyoza are house-made, and the broth for the agedeshi tofu was a rich, complex, pleasant surprise. My wait to be seated was brief, I sat comfortably in the front patio waiting for my table. The service was stellar. I'd also like to add that there was a friendly buzz about the place. Furthermore, I like all the Japanese themed decor around the dining room that adds to Miyuki's ambiance. I look forward to going back to explore more of their menu. *AMG* read more

I was really excited to try Miyuki because it's been such a staple in Watsonville and has such a lotal fan base. A line of people waiting outside is always a good sign. However, I'm disappointed to say that everything from the service to the rolls were just okay. We ordered the Rainbow Roll, Tokyo Roll, unagi, salmon sashimi, and spicy tuna and it was average at best. The quality of the salmon didn't seem fresh. The rolls were very bland and lacked flavor, and were dry. Maybe we got them at an off night? But if you're in Watsonville, try another sushi place and skip this one. read more

Love this place! The food is fresh, and the people are really nice. It's very much a first come first serve vibe because it is a smaller. I got take out for the first time, and the food was delicious as always. It was my first time ordering unagidon; I had been meaning to try it here, and I am so happy I did! Everything tasted so good I could order it almost everyday. I think this place is more authentic to Japanese culture compared to surrounding sushi places in watsonville. Although i still frequent all the other sushi locations around watsonville, which are equally delicious but they have a different vibe. read more

We were a bunch of guys from Los Angeles on a golf trip staying in an Airbnb nearby on the beach. We were hungry for some good food after 18 holes of golf. We were feeling like Asian food, but not quite sure what the quality would be like in this rural town of Watsonville. Saw this place on Yelp with good reviews and figured we would give it a try. The high rating they have on Yelp was legit. Most of us ordered combo meals for dinner. Everything was good. The teriyaki salmon, the tonkatsu, teriyaki chicken, tempura, sashimi. Good Japanese salad. We didn't get a chance to try the rolls. The place is pretty popular. It was totally packed on a Thursday night. We were lucky to be seated for our group of eight at dinner time. If we come back to Watsonville, would definitely come back to this place. Highly recommend. read more

This is a Bento Box Review! Notes: Authentic Japanese food is rare in these parts, and Miyuki's has got it! Order: 3 Item Bento w/ Shiozake Salmon, Teriyaki Chicken and Sashimi. Sashimi was fresh and yummy. Shiozake salmon was cooked well and was what I expected. Happy they could accommodate this order as it was not on the menu. Teriyaki sauce was tasty and plentiful, but just a tad sweet for me. Miso soup was delicious and much more flavorful than others I've had. Salad was a bit underwhelming, the dressing was also very sweet. Service: They were very busy, but were friendly and got our takeout order ready reasonably close to the estimated time. I will be back to try other things on this menu, especially for dinner. If you're looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant in the area, I highly recommend Miyuki's! read more
