Miyako - Santa Monica

Here with a group of friends on Thursday night and it was pretty decent. The service was a little slow, but this is quite common nowadays, especially during peak hours. I had the soba with beef, was fine, not this filling.

Great food, great staff, cook is very skillful and welcoming. Jake is a G and will help with any questions you have.

Love this little jewel in our neighborhood. Surprising big sushi for the price. Will this definitely make a regular place

Service was well superior I was the only one who at the time had eaten out. I ordered the Bento with a page of Udon noodle soup. I chose the 3 item option of three Sashimi pieces, pork catsu and chicken catsu. Came with elk, rice, edamam and salad. Good presentation on a record (I had somehow hoped that a real Bento). The best part of the plate was the Sashimi pieces, the fish looked fresh and tasted good as expected. The two katsus were beautiful and thin and had a crispy outer coating. However, the Katsu itself was quite bland and there was no remarkable taste, I could hardly say the difference between chicken and pig. The Katsu sauce was pretty and was not overly sweet as many other comparable places. The Udon noodles were just the correct amount of chewing gum while the broth base was missing something. This spot comes as a bit expensive for the portions, but it is expected to look at the location. Overall, the service was good, fish was fresh, but the articles were pretty bland.

Great service, nice portions, great place for both lunch and dinner. The staff here are always amazing, super attentive without being too much, super sweet and always nice. We are somewhat regulars as my wife works nearby and they always give us something special on the house to try. We've tried just about every dish on the menu and everything from the ramen, sashimi to the seaweed salad are always great. You really can't go wrong here and highly recommend to check it out!
