Meiz Japanese Restaurant in Preston

A lovely little afternoon treat! Wasn't expecting the half price lunch offer, great food couldn't fault it! Thanks so much 👍🏽

Really mixed quality of fish. The salmon was perfect, super tender, and the eel was also absolutely perfect. BUT the scallop was off. No doubt about it. It smelled strongly and the small bit me and my partner tried absolutely did not taste right at all. The tuna was also chewy - something I’ve never really encountered with fresh tuna. Overall while the eel was delicious, some of the fresh fish being off is an absolute no go for me.

One of my favourite places to eat in Preston. Amazing food all freshly prepared.

Great food as always. Only one point about payment. Asked for the bill and it came to approx £60 with the waiter holding the card machine. I said I'd pay cash. The bill was then given to me as £54. I asked why it is £6 cheaper. They charged 10% for card use which I found shocking . I said that people need to know about that card charge.

Amazing portions for an incredible cheap narice on the lunchdeeal half price.. The food is always quite good, sometimes even delicious!! The people are not that friendly, and the service in the past wasn't the best, but they are getting it ..I go every week since a Japanese friend took me months ago and he saait the dishes are quite close to the original!! Chicken goza, ramen and tempura, and avocado sushi are my favourite. If you go with otherthere is a deal like no stop oder for.22 pounds and something

Amazing lunch hour prices, one of the massive benefits which is why we go here so often. I’ve been here a few times (approx 4) and would say overall it’s decent. My friend had the katsu chicken curry. I tried it and it was pretty good, the chicken is crispy and the curry sauce is also really nice. The sushi is also pretty good and probably one of my favourite things, really recommend the avocado and salmon rolls. The ramen is okay, not the best, but for £5 its a good deal. It needs a little bit more flavour but I like the egg noodles. Overall, as someone who is Asian and goes to a lot of asian places, this place is decent but it also depends on what you choose to get. But, I will still keep going here every time I visit preston.

Excellent service from walking in to being promptly seated. Was I asked if I wanted the menu explaining, kindly refused as I knew what I was after. Wasn’t disappointed. Excellent food…. Crab stick in tempura was a first. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Preston.

For disclosure - I have dined previously at this restaurant and the food has frequently been good, even if the portion sizes have been erratic. However, on my recent visit (15th August 2024) with six friends, we thought we would try the bottomless menu. Five of us were keen to try it, and our sixth member - a friend visiting from overseas - decided to opt for standard lunch menu items. Initially, the server gave us the menus and confusingly explained how much could be ordered from each side and the rules (we peiced together that our party of five could only order 15 dishes from either side of a peice of paper, and we could only order for the table 3 times). As we were preparing to order, and our friend had already ordered their items, the server came over and stated that the manager had decreed that since our overseas friend wasn't ordering from the bottomless menu, they'd have to be moved to a separate table away from us. No explanation was given as to WHY this had to be done. Since our visit was to celebrate our friends visitation, and we had no desire to isolate said friend for an hours meal, we of course shifted to the regular lunch menu. From that point on, what I can only assume was the manager continued to give our overseas friend and our table dirty looks, and otherwise rude behaviour. This did not end until we left after our meal. I do not place any blame on the server - as they claimed it was their first day - but upon the managers ridiculous behaviour, and nonsensical rules. It's such a shame, since the food was delicious. But if the management are going to be that rude to paying customers, for no explainable reason, then I cannot in good conscience recommend dining here, and Meiz has lost a previously dedicated customer.7

I’ve come here a couple of times, and always had a pretty good experience. I’ve tried a couple of the dishes (katsu curry and ramen) and found them both delicious, I’d like to come back and try some other things off the menu. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the only thing I’d really pick them up on is the service, which is friendly enough, but very slow.

six of us went to Meiz 5 requested the botmoless menu one person wanted the lunch menu. They told that friend they would have to sit on a table by themselves if they wanted to eat. So the 5 of us changed to the lunch menu. The owners then continued to stare at my friend (the only american) the entire time we were there. Making them extremely uncomfortable. The person who they made tell us this, it was thwir very first shift. This is unacceptable. We will never go there again. The owners are rude as hell.

The young lady was quite rude on the phone when I was enquiring about placing a large order. Said something I couldn't make out and just put the phone down on me, not very professional.

10/10! My daughter tried everything as she normally just has sashimi and Negri , she ate almost all my sushi rolls! I dont blame her it was soooooo good!!!

Staffs are attentive with high quality food! Got loads of options on the menu. Come here and you won’t be disappointed!

Sushi is great, but staff don’t remember about bamboo sticks wasabi and soy spice to this order. Little to long waiting time for collection.

Ordered Eel bento, Salmon sashimi & Jasmine tea. Very delicious, taste really closed to Japanese style & favour. Nice

Went with some friends a few months ago. Relaxed atmosphere, nice and peaceful. Food and drinks came out decently quick. I got the Chicken Soup Ramen and some sushi, shared some veg gyozas and kimchi. Kimchi paired well with everything I had. The little orange things on the sushi added a little more flavour and a delightful textural difference. Gyozas had a lovely crunch to them. Since we ordered from the lunch menu, it was very affordable for the amount of food. Would definitely recommend going!

Authentic Japanese cuisine in Preston. Top class chefs and five star service. Worth the trip. Thank you for such an amazing food experience.

The order took over an hour and 40 minutes.

We went with my family this evening and had a lovely time. The building is lovely and the food was great, the service was also brilliant. I'd recommend a visit.

Ordered from here a few times now and love the place. Hadn't tried much Japanese food before (other than various sushi) and was in Preston for work, ordered from them on Deliveroo just to try and have reordered again every night I've been up here. Incredibly flavourful food, all very filling, and different to anything I've had before. The karage, yakitori and gyoza are all stunning, love the fried udon noodles too!

The Bento boxes are beautiful great value for money and delicious ❤️🍣

Meiz is my favourite place to go in person, so I know the food is great. Arrived quickly and, as expected, was delicious.

Amazing sushi and the tempura prawns are well worth the price

An amazing experience! The inside is decorated beautiful, the staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was divine. We had the takoyaki and fried tofu to start. After this we had the sushi set 1 (mixed fish sushi selection) and vegetarian sushi set (mixed vegetables selection) which was incredibly yummy, fresh and looked beautiful! We finished our meal with ice cream mochi and pancakes. In total the price was beyond reasonable (think under £60 for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts and alcoholic drinks) Will definitely be back!

This sushi restaurant is fabulous. We went for my son's birthday with lots of family. The staff were welcoming and really helpful. The food was delicious, so fresh and tasty. The decor is really pretty and the whole place was really clean. A definite recommend.

Beautiful place with stunning food. Everything is cooked to order, and you can watch it as it happens. The servers are extremely helpful in explaining how everything works. Would definitely recommend the bottomless menu as you get the opportunity to try everything

Really nice Japanese restaurant almost directly opposite Preston station. All the usual Japanese dishes available, which means a big menu

was missing an item but the restaurant sorted it out for it to be delivered to us. Excellent service as always!

We have had lunch at meiz a few times now with their 50% off offer, which is incredible. For both value and taste. Today we had takeaway. We had the sushi set platter 2 and the veggie set. They were fantastic and incredible value for money. It fed 3 very hungry people with leftovers. The food is so fresh and consistent whether eating in or taking away. Also they really do appreciate you paying in cash if you have, cash is king!

A Male staff member was very rude and unwelcoming. The food was good, though.

My favourite place to order from, beautiful food as always

went here today and the food was amazing! we had one of the beef bentos and the duck bento, as well as the fried chicken gyoza! the staff was really friendly and the service was amazing :)! first time there as it was close to the train station and will be back next time!! i wanted to use the opportunity to leave an honest and well deserved review, as there were some really rude customers in today making a really big fuss, but the staff handled it super super well and they even apologised to the rest of the customers after to make sure everyone was ok.

Absolutely delicious! Compliments to the chef

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and amazing food! I'm only sad I hadn't been sooner! Still just as friendly and the food only gets better

Very tasty food, very good for money, very racist staff. Don’t know how you can be so rude to people just for the sake of it.

The most amazing vegetarian sushi I've ever had! They went above and beyond and I would highly recommend to anyone! ^_^

Excellent food,served hot and quick. Great value for money. Will be back.👌

I’ve been looking for a sushi place in present on for ages and this one came up with great reviews unfortunately this is not the case for the food. The fish to rice ratio was the worse i have ever had, i could see the rice through the fish. ramen had no taste and the noddles had to much sugar in it. Service was great but that’s about it.. Very disappointing

Bottomless menu - you can order 12 meals at a max of 3 times = 36 meals altogether we had only ordered 10 meals and were full (portion sizes were very big) we left 6 pieces of sushi and asked if we could take them away with us we were told yes however we would be charged if we take them or leave them? I would understand if we had ordered the full 36 meals and left lots however we only left some sushi and wanted to take this with us - then the attitude started which reflects exactly how the management replies to the reviews on here. The service was awful, attitude was awful the server told my mum we were making excuses and snatched the bill out of her hand The food itself - the sushi was nice however the other items we had were not nice the egg fried rice was made with sushi rice meaning it had all clumped together - awful. I had been waiting a long time to try this place but really was not worth it - Don’t bother!!!

The food and staff were amazing but a bit pricey.

We have been multiple times here and never disappointed, the food is fast, fresh and always perfect!! Never been let down by service. Its clean and just wonderful! They have a half price lunch menu amongst a vast menu full of various difference items all at a good price!!! They also own a shop in friagate and it is full of goodies!

Delivery lad said the hotel post code was wrong - could I get it right next time! Sure I’ll just get the hotel moved!!!! The sashimi was 10mm thick, considering this came from a restaurant, I’m surprised the chefs don’t have better knife skills. I won’t order from here again.

Food was good but the rice seemed to be over peppered. The main meal was good and I would recommend the all you can eat sushi

Wonderful food and very helpful staff. Though the staff do kind of leave you to it and it took quite a while to get them to come over for drinks orders and the bill. We were sat near the door and it was quite cold too. Don't let any of this put you off though and I look forward to going back.

Love this restaurant, walked in on a whim and so glad we did. Had a beautiful katsu curry. The prices are very reasonable and all the food was served super quickly.

Never disappoints. Am a regular guest. Good Food always fresh and clean and delicious. Always made to feel welcome and never rushed to finish.

Because it is not very hungry, I just order a pair of crab meat stick nigiri sushi, a pair of octopus nigiri sushi and a seafood fried udon. The seafood fried udon has a well seasoned and there are many types of seafood in it, the size is also very large. However, the quality of the nigiri sushi is a little poor, especially the crab meat sticks nigiri sushi, you can see from the photo why I thought the crab sticks were bad. However, considering that the fried seafood udon is very delicious and the staff is friendly, I think I can visit this restaurant again without eating sushi.

Been here a few times. Food is very delicious and lunch-time menu is extremely good value. Was actually my favourite place in Preston to eat. Last time I came however, I had never experienced rudeness to this level before. Lady saw us waiting at the door and continued to walk past us continually, despite us waving at her- she ignored us for quite some time. Once seated, she came over, put the menus on the table, didn’t say a word and just turned around with a look of disgust. At this point we were wondering what is going on??? She then didn’t serve us for half an hour, we were just sitting there. Eventually she came to take our order and we must have sat there for about 2 mins in silence waiting for her to flick through each and every individual page of her notebook to get to an empty page for a new order. Was very awkward this was. We then waited for an hour and a half before asking a different staff member where our order was. She told us the order was misplaced and they were going to start preparing it now. I get mistakes can happen but this mistake combined with all the rudeness seemed very coincidental. At this point we decided to leave as we couldn’t wait another hour or so and also were kinda done with the service. I would have hoped for a discount on what we already ordered (drinks and a few starters) due to the mix-up and long wait, but no. Either way, the service by just this one woman was so bad and she was doing it to other groups too, as we were observing. We were very confused by the service. Shame because food-wise, it’s great. And the other staff were welcoming.

The yakisoba I had was so good at reasonable price too. Service was also very good, will definitely be back.

The food here is amazing, my favourite is the California sushi rolls

Everything was lovely, we have ordered multiple times from this restaurant and always satisfied with the food. Only thing today was missing one item from the order and when try to ring the restaurant they were maybe already closed

First time trying sushi, it was nice

Great food. Decent price. 2nd time here and it's worth a trip.

When transferring trains to eat, there are discounts for paying in cash. However, when giving change, the shopkeeper gave us less money than he should have, please pay attention when checking out ⚠️️

3 of us booked a table for dinner. Food ordered included dumplings, vegetable tempura, 2x chicken katsu curry and an udon noodle dish. All the food we had was delicious. This is the 2nd time I had visited and the quality was excellent on both visits. I would not hesitate to eat there again and would recommend for fans of Japanese cuisine.

There were no chopsticks. Part of the sushi was a bit dry.

Most of their food is quick-frozen. Food portions are also very small. What they use to make sushi isn't even sushi rice. Not authentic.

Food as always is incredible, the staff are beyond lovely. Can’t fault this restaurant at all, it’s the reason I started loving sushi again! Spider roll is my favourite but also absolutely loving the ramen dishes at the moment. Highly recommend to anyone in the Preston area.

Really disappointed with the sushi. Avo was rock solid and tasted gross.

Wonderful place to eat with great food and value!

absolutely delicious food. new favourite place!

Half price before 5pm. Lovely food and good size portions. 👌

Excellent food, well presented and good quality. Would recommend

Good fresh Japanese traditional food. Wide choice on the menu for various dishes. They had a wide menu of traditional Chinese teas, starters and mains. We had the rose tea, sushi and tepinyaki. All very tasty. The Japanese desert wine was beautiful and recommended. The restaurant is small and has a cosy feel with guests able to watch staff cook. It has a traditional Japanese canteen vibe with recommendations to families and groups. If you are looking for a romantic meal setting this is maybe not the place for you. Bright lighting and canteen feel. Would recommend for people who enjoy Japanese and sushi. They also have a takeaway menu to try.

Honestly I love this place so much me and my girlfriend go very often great prices some of my fav sushi ive ever had recommend to anyone

Really delicious! My only complaint is the breading was a bit soggy by the time it got to me, so perhaps they could put it separately next time!

Excellent Food, Came when the motorway was closed to get to Wagamamas. Glad we found it, food was excellent, authentic, fresh and tasty. Reasonable price, only criticism would be be the interior seating area could be spruced up a bit and be warmer but then they could easily charge more. so 🤫 I didn't say that

Very fresh, high quality food. Great staff. Service is relatively fast. Nice decor in restaurant. Highly recommended.

Excellent for your Japanese food cravings!

Ordered the 17 piece Sushi box, was so yummy! Everything tasted so fresh, the rolls were delicious

Lovely lovely restaurant, best sushi I’ve had in a while. Food came out super quick and tasted amazingly fresh! Definitely recommend and would go again.

I ordered a bento box and agedashi tofu and I was so surprised that the portion was more than what I was expecting. However I think that the agedashi tofu needs to be more deep fried and and less sauce on it... so that the tofu doesn't look like it's drowning... Other than that food was great and I would definitely come back again.

Food was soo well done, can’t suggest this place enough

We tried bento and sushi set one. The ingredients of sushi are fresh and I recommend the sushi set rather than salmon teriyaki bento.

Previously had good experiences with this restaurant but this time they decided to completely change the filling of the salmon and avocado uramaki (listed filling didn't include pickles) that we'd ordered two portions of, added random toppings straight from a supermarket shelf (dried fried onions and a sauce you could barely taste under the mountain of greasy tasting onions) and generally ruined it. Considering that one item was £16ish and by bulk formed the core of the meal it was really disappointing, I ended up having to cook because the remaining items didn't make up a full meal. Did we offend the staff somehow? No idea.

I would definitely recommend MEIZ, especially anyone wanting a bite shortly before or after a train journey from the station next door. We had the sushi roll collection, some Gyoza and a beef ramen bowel that was absolutely brilliant - just the right amount of spice and seasoning. The only issue I would have is that the service was not exceptional, with the staff only coming over occasionally to check on us. However, it was certainly not a dealbreaker and it was a late Sunday evening, so absolutely no worries there. I am looking forward to go back when I’m next in Preston, excited for more of the exquisite taste of Japan.

First time did not disappoint, expected fresh Japanese food and got exactly that 👌

Salmon sashimi has not been properly defrost, it was very cold and you can literally bite the ice. Rolls is 90% rice with 5% cucumber 5%seafood stick The shrimp tempura taste mushy Bottomless order is a scam,

Great sushi! Very nice atmosphere and service! Service is always very quick!

Don't ever visit there, the food is not authentic, in fact not good at all, the staff there are not friendly and disrespectful. Would not recommend this place.

Would recommend to anyone who loves sushi.

Amazing food and great atmosphere

Really, really good sushi at the price point. No complaints at all.

We found this today by accident and we will be returning often! Excellent service, fast fresh food. 👌

The food was delicious and the wait wasn't long, and it stayed fresh and hot for when we got home. The staff was friendly and even though we didnt stay in to eat the overall atmosphere from inside felt good and friendly.

My new favourite restaurant in Preston. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was fresh and it didn't take too long either! The deluxe sushi set may look pricey but it is worth every single penny. The best sushi I've had and I was so full by the end. The atmosphere of the place really helps make it too!

The sushi portions are laughable. The prices that they charge vs what you get is insulting. The maki rolls were the size of my thumb nail. The hand roll wasn't bigger than my actual thumb. Spent over 70 for a ton of rice. When I called to complain, I was told they refuse to help me. Would not recommend.

I stopped here while passing through. It took a while but when a woman finally greeted me she was friendly enough. The young-ish guy who ended up "serving" me however was some hindrance. Despite his speaking English fine I had to repeat questions multiple times for him to actually answer things as simple as "do you recommend this roll?" The roll I did get was a disappointment; quite dry. The rice needed more rice vinegar I think or something to keep the rice grains slightly more moist and separate. Maybe if the server had listened he could have recommended something better from the start.

Very nice food and the staff they are very nice

Found this restaurant by chance. We were unsure looking through door at menu but so glad we gave it a go. Half price lunchtime made it cheap enough for regular lunch spot.

what a great find! stopped off on the way back to Carlisle... Glad we found it. Amazing food, great service from the waitress and overall a fantastic night with my partner 😊

Food is always lovely but service is pants. Too lazy and a tad unprofessional if I'm honest

Food served piping hot and really quickly, very enjoyable, very close to station

Ramen sucks! Not authentic at all. It’s not worth your money.

Very good sushi at the price point, ready on time, Couldn't ask for more.

Gorgeous fresh japanese food and great service too. We had Sushi & Maki and others in the party had Ramen as thier mains. All fresh and delicious

Lovely atmosphere and tasty food! The Bento box combination was great and we had the most delicious plum wine. I’d gladly buy it by the bottle! Try it out if in Preston. Will be back again.

Beautiful sushi delivered in a timely manner

Excellent sushi would definitely recommend
