It was quiet on an early Sunday evening, but the service was extra attentive and I love the semi-upscale Japanese aesthetic - we were seated next to a pretty aquarium and given cloth napkins and real wooden chopsticks. The vegetarian options excited me the most, and I ordered the Vegetarian Duck Teriyaki. It was really interesting because I'd never had any duck-related veg food, so I had to try it. The teriyaki flavor was a bit overwhelming, maybe too much sauce, but I still gobbled it up. My friend would have given her actual duck teppanyaki dish and the whole experience five stars, she loved it so much. I would definitely go back and try another one of their veg dishes! Winchester, it seems like this place isn't super well known yet, but you don't know what you're missing!

If you stick to the buffet, it's only £5.80, but they also have an ayce made-to-order sushi for £13.60. The buffet has a few hits and a few misses. I'd recommend avoiding anything in the bright red and sickly-sweet sauce. Other options include a stir-fry noodles, pad thai with chicken, chicken in black bean sauce, sesame toasts, spring rolls and several different vegetable plates. All of those were quite good. Two small plates of sushi were rather bland. As is the usual case with UK restaurants, drinks are not refillable. It's a shame to pay £1.20 for a can of Diet Coke, even if they do serve it in a glass with ice and a slice of lemon. A decent meal, well worth the cost. I would return.

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.

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.

This was my first time in a sushi bar with the conveyor belt system and it adds a certain charm. You can tell how fresh each item is, because each one has a decal on it noting the time it was put on the belt. Greeted and shown to one of the seats (they also have booths, but these seem to be reserved for parties of more than one), he explained to me how things worked, asked if I wanted to order a drink and left me with the menu. Pretty self explanatory. You take what you like off the belt and at the end, they total up your empties. Different colors are different prices. Obviously, the simple stuff like cucumber rolls were on the less expensive plates and the sashimi was on the more expensive plates. Five grades. No surprise. Interesting countertop, each seat has a sunken slot for napkins and chopsticks as well as containers for soy sauce, wasabe and ginger. I liked that, because I really like ginger and hate having to ask for more. There are also spigots for water (flat or fizzy) and you can refill yourself. £1. Bonus! The sushi, on the other hand, was nothing to write home about (though technically, I'm writing home about it now). I had five dishes (3 @ 2.80, 1 @ 3.30 and 1 @ 5.00), which for a total of £17.70 should have left me filled. It did not. I did enjoy some of them, but some of them I did not. I figured I would get out when I was ahead, or at least, not too far behind. If you have a major sushi craving, as I did, this place is OK. But I am hoping that there is better somewhere else in Reading. I won't be back.

Ramen, Amaebi, Salmon nigiri and sashimi, Karaage chicken, prawn fried rice and vegetable gyoza. First off, the fish was really fresh and that's always the number one thing. The amaebi (sweet shrimp) was different than what I normally have. Normally the amaebi would come served raw and the head would come deep fried separately. The head was not served, but it was probably due to their customer base. The Karaage chicken was very tasty. We all thought the fried rice could have used more flavor. In the end, we ate everything. Staff was very friendly. I would rate it 3.5 stars.

Another server was snacking behind the counter. Another violation of basic restaurant hygiene. These are fixable problems. With more hands on management this could be a great restaurant.
