Miyako at Andaz - London

One of my favorite places in the city for Japanese cuisine. delicious food, great service and cozy atmosphere. a city clasp, I love this place

Undoubtedly the best sushi ever possible. quality is incomparable. every bite brings you to another world. the tuna sushi. the Wasabi sauce is particularly good, supplements the food very well. the portions could be a little bigger, but the taste is the best of all time.

A bit late, but here is a little bit bit about our dinner experience in miyako. we went on a weekday evening for an early evening meal, so it wasn't too busy. the hamachi and avocado handroll was tasty, although I must say that it could have been cut quite "chunky ' maybe the avocado fish smaller/dinner. the supaid futo was rolled nicely, although he had a higher tear ratio to fill than I would have preferred. the selection of sushi had a nice selection of 8 different sushi a nice choice to go for if they like a bit variety. we both liked the miyako roll that had a nice bang and finally was the moriawase that had a decent part of 4 prawn tempura and a selection of herbal tempura tasty light, and crispy teig. service was pleasant and friendly. not quite one of the best Japanese restaurants I have done, but quite good if they are looking for a light and fast meal. there is a quite extensive selection of sashimi, and also some Bento boxes available on the menu throughout the day and evening.

I recently won a Twitter competition organized by food connoisseur and zomato. the price? dinner at miyako in andaz, part of andaz dining in the liverpool street, london. I used the opportunity to meet a school friend I had not seen for about a year. the food was fresh and delicious; this was probably a rarer occasion, where our eyes have actually voted on our stomachs! we had something from the following categories sushi, Maki rolls, hand-rolled, tempoura and hot dishes. in particular I loved the lachssushi, huhn teppanyaki (the one big thumb up from me and my friend) and the yakitori. we had high praise for eating. the only light negatiw was the price of drinks; I thought they were a bit high, especially the softdrinks. we had 2 glasses each (sauvignon blanc pinot grigio) and I had another soft drink and that was probably for almost a third of our bill (without the service fee). the value of the gift card was £50 that can cover dinner for two; but we were overworked, very hungry and came equipped to pay extra! the venue is small, low and intimate (approximately 35 people,) so would be ideal for a date or pick up with a friend or 2. this cannot be the best restaurant for a large group, unless they want to rent the entire room. I strongly recommend that you book in advance for dinner. I was impressed by the service; it was fast, efficient and friendly. I liked that they had no turn of the table to dinner, so my friend and I have scattered from 7 o'clock to the conclusion. quality food, quality service.

Service was very gracious. My leg is currently in a cast, and I arrived by wheelchair. The waiter helped us manoeuver over the step into the restaurant and around some of the tight corners. The waiter very helpfully prevented us from over ordering by suggesting we hold off on getting tempura until the rest of the food had arrived. We indeed didn't need the tempura after all. The tiny restaurant wasn't crowded at Monday lunchtime. There two other couples and a little group of Japanese businessmen. Our orders arrived very swiftly and the yakitori was kindly held back while we munched happily on salad and maki rolls. We shared maki rolls (salmon skin, california, spicy tuna) as well as yakitori and wafu salad. Attention to detail on the maki rolls was really impressive. For one thing, the rice was at the correct temperature. All too often, sushi rice is served too cold. The compression of the rice was just right too. Not falling apart when dipped in soy, but not noticeably compact either. The tuna in the spicy maki rolls had a beautiful texture and was a nice uniform cut. No scruffy scraps in the maki rolls here, which is all too often the case elsewhere. The tobiko in the california rolls was generous and there was flesh as well as skin in the crispy salmon skin rolls. Portion sizes for the wafu salad and chicken yakitori (not grilled over charcoal) were both generous. Both good, but otherwise not particularly remarkable. For dessert we shared mochi ice cream. We had one piece each of green tea, vanilla and chocolate, though we were offered a choice. The chocolate was stunning, being of good quality dark bitter chocolate, rolled in cocoa. Next time we will have three chocolate mochi, thank you. All of the flavours were pleasant though, and not overly sweet. Dessert was garnished with fresh berries and small slices of rice crispy square containing a little black sesame. In summary, we had high quality sushi that was priced accordingly. For those not constrained by office lunch hours I would urge people to take the 20% discount offered in the afternoon between 14:00 and 17:00. If I had taken the price more into account I would have rated Miyako 3.5 instead of 4. Wine is exhorbitant, with the cheapest white priced at £26 a bottle.
