Miso in Stoke-on-Trent

A lovely place for Japanese food! Hearty portions with fantastic flavours - highly recommended.

Had a super lovely meal at Miso. Love the small restaurant area. Food delicious as always and super friendly service. We won’t leave it as long next time! Might call in a collection soon too

Great little restaurant, delicious food, friendly attentive service, great desserts! I'd never been before this visit, but will certainly go back!

Ordered a take away whilst in hospital. Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Surely it must be one of the best restaurants in the city. Can’t wait to eat at the actual restaurant. It is on the pricey side but it was worth every penny - because of that it would probably mean it’s a once of month treat as appose to once a week. Highly recommend.

Excellent food with such kind and friendly service.

As a lover of Japanese cuisine, I am always immersed in pure pleasure when I come to this wonderful restaurant! The food here is so delicious!

Small little place but very warming..food is great service great..

This is the definition of a hidden gem, being upstairs in a building on a busy road. It is definitely a gem though and does the job every time. Fantastic food, varied menu and decent selection of drinks. All served in a calm and relaxed room of people who know they are on to a good thing. Thanks again for great family meal. Including fussy teen.

Food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful, the lady working there was wonderful, the food delicious, will definitely visit again some time soon.

I've always wanted try here but getting here for the opening times wouldn't be easy for me with the buses. I finally spotted it on uber eats and it was one of the nicest chicken katsu curries I have had for a while. Thank you. 😀

Excellent food , varied menu - so much choice and very authentic ! offer so many varieties of dishes ! Wonderful staff. Would highly recommend

Gorgeous food and lovely service! The katsu chicken is the nicest I’ve ever had, will definitely be back again soon. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Such a cozy restaurant. The food took some time to come but it was worth it. The lady who owns it, I assume, was so friendly and nice. A hidden gem!

This place is ace!! The food was brill, and the woman serving us was fantastic too! Will become a regular:)

Absolutely superb. Every dish we had was delicious. Service was great. It's nice to see a family restaurant serving such good food. I would 100% recommend to admitting wanting to try Japanese food.

me and my auntie came here for tea , the lady and young boy who had seen to us during our meal were the kindest people and so sweet. the food was absolutely beautiful. we shared the mixed gyoza platter 10/10 , and u had also ordered a roast duck ramen. everything was amazing

Amazing food, the roast pork ramen is unbelievable with a massive portion of pork. Will definitely come back, the lady who served us was lovely too and couldn't do enough for us

Absolutely amazing as always, been going for years and has only gotten better. Well deserving of all their awards

Excellent person-centred service, professional presentation on food, worth every price for value as filling generous portions. A true slice of little Japan in our comfy Stoke. Would recommend to try the Ramen, as the chicken is fat and succulent, with a clear taste.

My partner and I ordered the chicken katsu bento tray and we absolutely loved it. The food tasted very fresh, well-seasoned and authentic. The portions were generous and it was great value for money. The staff were warm and welcoming, particularly the mature lady with glasses who greeted us on arrival and took our order. We felt really looked after and it was such a plesant experience. We're already planning our next visit!

Second time I have been here and it did not disappoint. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent. Will definitely be coming back.

Amazing food and the most lovely service. The katsu curry bento box is so good.

The food was delicous! This was the best Japanese meal I've ever had, thank you to the chefs and the waiter for my wonderful experience tonight- definitely coming again! 😁

Just this second left, It's still amazing food and drinks as always, it's served fast and friendly. Been coming here for over 12 years and love it every time. Tried a whole bunch of things on the menu but my go to is always the lemon ramune drink, Pork bento main and chocolate mochi dessert. We love the little lady that runs the place, she's our favourite person and always lovely all the time.

Very tasty food, the portions are actually fairly big. Lovely service, so welcoming. Restaurant is currently being refurbished downstairs, we ate upstairs. Can't wait to go back and see the new dining room when it's finished.

We absolutely love it here. The food is delicious and the service is spot on. One of our favourite places to eat!

A hidden gem that was discovered by chance. The food was excellent with attentive service and would definitely recommend a visit.

Welcoming and friendly staff, tasty? wonderful, authentic food which is beautifully presented, and the restaurant area is bright and colourful - will be coming here again!

I got California rolls and my boyfriend got ramen. Was really tasty and good quality. The staff were really friendly and felt welcomed and the vibes were chill. I’m looking forward to returning

Another excellent meal with great staff and amazing food!

This is an amazing little restaurant, food is top notch and service is wonderful. Been several times now and always have a brilliant time. If you like Japanese food this is the place to go.

Exceptional Food, Atmosphere, and Service Our dining experience was outstanding from start to finish. We began with the chicken gyoza, followed by the roast pork ramen and roast duck ramen—each dish offering the perfect balance of quality and quantity. The flavors were rich, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was both aesthetically pleasing and intimate, enhancing the overall experience. Despite the restaurant being busy, our server maintained excellent communication throughout, ensuring we never felt overlooked or waited too long. A fantastic dining experience—highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning!

Very nice staff and lovely food!!

Very nice and welcoming staff!! Really good ramen definitely going back to try more of the menu as it all sounds good!

The food was amazing, service was very good and the price was very affordable.

This place is a hidden gem, the food is absolutely amazing and the staff are lovely. Great atmosphere, especially recommend the sushi, the portions are huge!!!! Go with an appetite

A very nice and cozy place with a calm and warm atmosphere. I loved the food and prices are affordable. Staff is very nice and welcoming and work fast to deliver your food. Visit this place if you want to spend a nice time with friends and family.

We had the Ramen Bowls at this venue. I had the grilled chicken teriyaki and my partner had the veggie gyoza. First thing to say is both the ramen bowls were big and bigger than Wagamama bowls! The portions you get here are bigger than Wagamama portions! My grilled chicken was a generous portion and bigger than what you get at Wagamama. However, the meat was not as luscious and tender as the chicken you get at Wagamama. My partner said she liked the veggie gyoza and all the other vegetables and noodles in her bowl . I also liked all the vegetables and noodles in my bowl and I also enjoyed the tea-stained egg! We both agreed that the broth in both bowls was NOT sufficiently full of flavour and we had to add extras like chilli pepper and soy sauce to boost the flavour!! If anything the chicken broth at this venue was better than the veggie broth. The broth you get at Wagamama is better in terms of flavour and you also get pak choi in your bowl at Wagamama but not here. To sum up, the portions in the ramen bowls here are large, but we prefer quality over quantity. Our rating for this restaurant is Good but NOT Excellent. Compared with Wagamama, prices here are about the same. On balance we prefer the Ramen Bowls at Wagamama!!!

Lovely service, good food and cosy atmosphere 🌸

We visited tonight for a meal out with the family and found it to be excellent! The service was fast and the quality of the food was exceptional. Will definitely be returning.

I really liked the food it had an amazing taste. The restaurant itself is amazing and the staff are all very kind, thank you so much.

The food was superb, really fresh and packed full of flavour! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. My family, including two teenagers, haven’t tried Japanese food before, and can be rather picky, but everyone enjoyed it very much and we’d definitely like to come back again soon.

Originally ordered ramen to takeaway but after I arrived I spoke to the lady and she was so lovely and a joy to talk to so decided to eat in. Can honestly say that was the best ramen I’ve had in a very long time. Will be back for more.

I love Miso, it's one of my favourite places to eat and I wish I could go there more often. The staff are lovely and will advise and help out where they can. The decor is reasonably nice and comfortable, with a low-volume Japanese music playlist on a large TV, which is interesting to see. The main thing is the food though, which is just superb. I am particularly fond of the karaage chicken benton box which beats KFC by a country mile. Everything is fresh, hot and tasty which a good selection of drinks. I don't tend to drink alcohol, so I stick with the bubble teas. Beautiful food, highly recommended. Long may it last! Thanks!

First time going to Miso, it was my son's 10th Birthday & he wanted Sushi. A quick search & Miso seemed the place to go. Upon arrival, parking was a bit of an issue as we ended up down some dark back street. We entered & up the stairs to a lovely decorated room. It's small but there is enough room for quite a few groups. We had a mixed plate of Goizo for starters, which we shared. Then 3 of the Benton boxes, I had the Katsu curry one. My son who's birthday it was had his Sushi (crispy crab). The Benton boxes were lovely , but I felt there was a bit too much salad. The Sushi was lovely & large pieces. Overall it was a lovely experience & I would definitely go again

A Japanese restaurant run by Hong Kong people, with plenty of ingredients, freshness, and surprising desserts! Worth supporting!

Great food served by lovely people in a nice environment

We visited for an anniversary meal, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was amazing. The sushi especially was delicious and more filling than it looked.

Miso’s was the perfect evening out for a friend’s birthday. The food was served quickly, and was delicious, the staff were polite helpful and all round lovely. The place was inviting and we all had a great time. Also when it came to paying the bill the hostess was happy enough to split it 5 ways and they also allow cakes !!!!

Cannot recommend enough, amazing food, amazing service. No doubt the best Japanese food in the area. Staff were very attentive. We will definitely be back! Lots of vegetarian options too

We always come here when we want good japanese food and sushi! It is our favourite and the staff are always so friendly and attentive. You get so much for your money too!

Very aesthetically pleasing, very friendly and the food was very tasty.

The staff are so incredibly kind and take pride in what they do. Went as a group of 8 and the staff took time to get all orders right and learn our names to get orders out easier. Food was out quickly and hot. Big portions that fill you up quick and are delicious. Cannot recommend enough.

so so good. lovely service, lovely food.

Delightful Japanese food. Great value, friendly service and plenty of choice for vegetarians/vegans. Superb.

Food was amazing, service was lovely, great place. Will definitely come again!

Roast duck bento was too good 🥰

Very lovely local place with tasty food definitly recommended😁

Proper authentic Japanese food and dining. Will be back again. Great service too! Lots of chicken items halal the severs will point to what is and isn't halal.

The food is gorgeous with amazing portions. Option to bring food home.

Always have an amazing time when we come to Miso , incredible food incredible service

Food was amazing wish I could give a higher rating for these guys

Good food , very good service, worth a visit

Came for a date night for me and my girlfriend and had a fantastic time. The lady who served who us extremely friendly and welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. I can’t recommend Miso enough for the authentic Japanese experience and can’t wait to return.

Amazing Ramen and sushi. The lady was surprised we finished so quick (that good)

A great place for sushi and great staff! Would recommend to anyone who’s thinking about !

Brilliant night! Great service! Good food! Staff were polite and great at recommending dishes.

Don’t be put off by the lack of curb appeal. We had a great meal here with very good food, friendly service and good value for money.

Never disappointed when I dine at miso. Amazing food and lovely staff. Looking forward to my next visit. I need more takoyaki in my life

Just had a lovely walk-in experience at Miso. We are local to the area and have wanted to come here for ages - it did not disappoint! We ordered the salt and pepper squid and octopus balls (Takoyaki) for starters. These were delicious and delightfully presented. For mains, I tried the “Japanese fried chicken” (Karaage) bento box, and my partner had roast duck ramen. Both were exceptional. On the quality of the food alone, we’d be back! However - special mention to our fantastic, attentive and sweet host. Incredibly friendly and really made our evening. Excellent service. Overall, our meal for 2 with 4 beers came to £60 - and we are stuffed! And that was with a bubble tea for my girlfriend too. We’ll definitely be back!

I had fantastic time at Miso, food was delicious, staff were so friendly & lovely & place was very clean. 10 out 10 experience!

Took my mother for her first Japanese dining experience and it was, as she stated "one of the best meals I've ever had".

Fantastic little restaurant! Would definitely recommend who likes or would like to try Japanese food. The lady who served us was extremely lovely

I am a regular here, food has always been consistently amazing for the last almost decade. Super comforting and tasty at amazing prices. If I don't go inside, I love to order in and eat at home. I recommend here to everyone.

Hidden gem, the food was amazing. We teryaki salmon bento and katsu chicken curry bento for mains and assorted mochi for dessert, all was delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable and the staff we very friendly. We will definitely be back for more.

What an amazing find for us! Fantastic food, everything we had was so tasty and great value! This is obviously a family run restaurant with an adorable waiter! Actually gutted we live at the other end of the country as this would definitely be a regular visit for us otherwise! We will certainly be returning when back in the area! Thank you for a lovely meal and enjoyable evening!

My daughter and I found this place by chance and decided to give it a try. The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely amazing. This place felt very warm and homely. We really look forward to dining here again

Lovely, big portions of food. Staff couldn’t do enough for you and it’s very clean and pleasant. Youngest has declared it his favourite restaurant. Would like to be able to order wine by the bottle, and salmon sushi should really be raw.

Better book a table before you go, we luckily got a table without booking, great service, great food, highly recommend.

Best takeaway we’ve ever had, the food was so fresh and full of flavour. Looking forward to eating in the restaurant soon.

First time at Miso and hopefully not the last,a Chicken Ramen dish,hot and tasty, healthy too.

This restaurant is great for a casual night out. Not well lit from outside and you need to go upstairs ,but it is definitely worth it. The starter, mains and desert were all delicious. Welcoming staff and amazing food. What more can you ask for? We will return to try different dishes.

This place is a hidden gem, booking is a must! We landed lucky and managed to get a table. There was a wait but we were told this at the very beginning and were more than happy to wait. There was a large selection of options both in food and drink. As you would expect they had some drinks from Japan and had a range of soft drinks. We ordered the bento box and we were not disappointed at all. As you can see from the pictures these boxes are packed full of items and full of flavour. You can use the chopsticks but they also have cutlery if you're not used to them. We did not have a dessert but that was due to the fact we were full from all the food that came in the bento box. All the staff are very friendly and made recommendations that I'm so glad of as I did order the special thanks to them.

Quaint, great staff and most importantly great ramen

It was first time definite go again

Was the best Japanese food I have ever had. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend to anyone. Please support them as they are a local business that has recently had hard times.

Amazing food! Best Japanese food I have had in all these years! Great vegan and vegetarian options. Very lovely staff and beautiful restaurant decorations! Really great atmosphere!

O M G what amazing food and the owner was so lovely, octopus balls were incredible and so was the ramen

Lovely little restaurant, everything on the menu is fantastic! Highly recommend the sushi, takoyaki and dorayaki! Service is amazing, everyone is incredibly polite and the decor inside is cosy :)

2 stars.for food.as my.partner enjoyed his, I did not unfortunately. The whole place is in need of a major refurbishment,

The service was amazing and the food was extremely delicious. The atmosphere was great and very relaxed, and really welcoming.

Wonderful food very enjoyable night

The service was amazing. The food was great. I love the atmosphere and everything was so quick and convenient they offer halal food and vegetarian options. 10 out of 10 would recommend, i’ve no complaints I’ve been here plenty of times with friends with my partner in big groups and in small it fits any and every occasion!!🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 miso is the highlight of stoke really 🤍

It has great service, great food and a great atmosphere. Would recommend for any occasion.

Fabulous Japanese meal tonight with excellent and friendly service.

Nice decorated place with nice food and service. The chicken katsu was really tender and crispy

A very nice place to go and have dinner. Sadly when we arrive no ramen available. But we took some gyozas and bento boxes which were well garnished and the food was excellent. Highly recommended if you are in the area

The restaurant is small with just a few tables but offers a great atmosphere, absolutely amazing food and a great service. My lady and I had some vegan/vegetarian food and everything was beyond our expectations. The people who work in the restaurant are kind, respectful and professional.

Best Miso soup I've had. Gyoza, nigiri, and duck ramen were all great too. Great service as well!
