Miyako

Miyako brings a refined slice of Japanese cooking to Liverpool Street, where simplicity meets precision on every plate. The kitchen leans into clean flavours, bright acidity and comforting warmth, letting well-loved classics speak for themselves.

There is quiet poise in the openers: edamame tossed in spicy garlic or simply salted; agedashi tofu arriving crisp at the edges and bathed in warm dashi; prawn and chicken gyoza with savoury fillings and a golden sear. Each mouthful balances texture and purity, inviting conversation to flow as steadily as the tea.

From there, more substantial rhythms take over. Donburi bowls and tidy bento boxes centre on chicken teriyaki and salmon teriyaki, partnered with rice and salad for balance. Lighter touches appear in a wakame salad with crispy chicken and ginger or a straightforward yasai salad, while the sushi selection keeps things classic with salmon and tuna nigiri, neat sashimi and familiar rolls from a California roll to a spicy tuna or salmon roll. For a raw flourish, salmon tartare and tuna tartare deliver freshness with quiet confidence.

To finish, desserts tread a fragrant path: the Green Tea Yuzu Opera layers almond, chocolate and green tea with a citrus lift, while the Miyako Sticky Rice Roll folds mango, passion fruit and lychee sorbet into a playful finale. Book in for a relaxed bite or a lingering supper, and let Miyako show how less is more-one elegant roll at a time.
