Square Meal Review of Miyama ?

A veteran from times when Japanese restaurants were spread thinly in the capital, Miyama has garnered loyal devotees over the years for its technically accomplished, ultra-traditional cooking. The teppanyaki bar upstairs is the hub of the operation, with weary suits finding consolation in soups, sushi & grilled dishes ushered promptly from across the hotplate. Others proceed down a flight of stairs into a cluster of plainly decorated rooms to be greeted by faultlessly polite, kimono-clad waitresses. Here, you can take your time, moving gently from mozuku (seaweed in a vinegar dressing) towards house special teriyaki & other centrepieces – there’s also a stash of bento boxes if you can’t decide what to choose. Arrive before 7.30pm for ‘happy-hour’ sushi, with items starting at just £1.

    I was impressed by this restaurant, notwithstanding the lack of atmosphere in its unremarkable downstairs restaurant.
    The reasons why: respectful, attentive service from people who seemed to care whether we liked the food or not, coupled with authentic cooking and wonderfully tasty food.
    I had lunch there this week with a friend with whom I go back a long way. He had chosen the venue as he had previously enjoyed it on a couple of occasions. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and we were impressed by almost all. The value for money was also very good given the high quality. Especially enjoyable were the warm spicy tempura prawn roll (outstanding !), the sea bass sashimi (the sauce made the dish), the sea weed salad which was refreshing with the chicken terriaki… all ingredients seemed fresh and cooked with care and not on an industrial scale. There other tables were largely busy, but the place remained calm. We were not hurried and we were served with a smile.
    OK, so not a romantic or modernistic venue (downstairs, anyway), but for food and service… well, I liked it.

    I found this place through friend, the waitresses are friendly but they seem like they don't do much. I have been a few times to the sushi bar and the fish is excellant, fresh and tasty, i recommend it to anyone who loves sushi. The music could be louder though. It is full of regulars and the sushi bar may be a nice way to meet people too.
