Mr. Miyagi Japanese Food and Liquor

Thought we might get the food delivered to see what all the excitement was about and this turned out to be a good idea. Duck spring rolls were very tasty with the delicious mayonnaise dressing. Prawn and ginger dumplings were not bad but dominated by the thick dumpling skins and less enjoyable. The wagyu bolognese was the next dish tried and not at all to my taste and confirmed I am not a fan of fusion cooking. The last dish was a Japanese beef curry which we also disliked. It's all personal taste of course and we didn't have the "in restaurant" experience. Whatever. Doubt if we will.

Went there for dinner. Was super busy but apparently this is normal. Felt very rushed but I guess it is about bums on seats. Loved the individuality of the dishes and the humour put into the writing of the menu. We ordered a set menu, which was delicious. It was really rushed though. Dishes kept coming out before we were finished even when we asked for them to slow down. And it was so dark where we sat, it was hard to appreciate the visual appeal of the food!! Told you I was too old! Would definitely go back with a bunch of friends. Thanks for having us pensioners.

Popped in with daughter for dinner as she lives close by. While she is a regular and we expected a little wait, being a Tuesday wwe hoped not to long. Staff were lovely and welcoming although suggested the wait would be about an hour to an hour and a half. We sat out the back in the bar and had to call staff over to get drinks, they were lovely and obliging but oblivious to the needs of patrons.After a few bar snacks and a couple of cocktails we eventually made it through to be seated at the bench overlooking the kitchen. It was a lively fun spot and the waitress came quickly, dinner options were chosen from what I believe to be a spartan menu. All options were delicious and our wine options were good, although they were out of both of oour first choices.Service was prompt, staff friendly and rushed off there feet but I felt the place was a little overated and possibly resting on its laurels rather than delivering new and exciting menu options.Price was ok, although could have gotten a more extensive menu much cheaper accross the road at Hawker Hall.Been there, if the wait is over an hour I feel probably look for a better option next time if the wait is over an hour I feel.

Finally I get an opportunity to get into this place and the expectations are high. The waitress suggests a whole range of items so we go with those. Fish Taco - excellent, Duck spring rolls - don't bother - too salty, greasy waste of good duck, sushi rolls - very nice beautiful presentation good flavours - worth a try, crispy beef salad - hit and miss. Very clever dish but great bug chunks of fat - no thanks. super rich mayo flavours - felt sick after that one. Then the Fried chicken...seriously just go to KFC. nothing special to see here folks. Probably won't go back unless for social reason and will stay well clear of the fried rubbish.

I loved this place. It's aimed at a younger demographic than me but it was fun to people watch. I ate 2 small plates and was full afterwards. The salmon nori taco and the kingfish ceviche - the service was exceptional too. Just go and enjoy. I did and will be going back to try their prawn and ginger dumplings.
