Mister Miyagi's in Canterbury

Love it in here, we’re local and come quite often. It’s so peaceful and we’re always left full without feeling like we’ve overindulged. The sushi is excellent, but salmon heavy- some tuna would be great. Service is gentle and largely good, although they don’t tend to accommodate even small requests like bringing the food at the same time, giving us some sirracha sauce and bringing crockery/cutlery when food is delivered to table. The space is a little cold, both in temperature and decor- the clumsiness of the partition curtain only detracts from the space. That being said, we keep going back! Bring cash if you want to tip as they don’t do it on their card machine.

This is hands down the best sushi in Kent, the portion sizes and pricing are amazing and I’m never disappointed. I go here once every month and have been for years. Everyone is always so lovely and friendly and the chef is amazing !! Highly recommended and the restaurant itself is gorgeous and it’s always a lovely vibe and atmosphere.

Sushi was great, food tasted fresh. The service was quick and I can see the same for other tables even though it was busy. The staff was pleasant and the place was very clean with a easy to the eye design inside

Sushi is my granddaughter's favourite food so this was her Christmas treat as she is too old for Santa. She enjoyed the food very much, the waitress was charming, and my rice was perfectly sticky. Also the citrus tea was great. However, we had to eat with our coats on as it was too cold to remove them. That is why the score is not high. My next visit will be in Summer.

My girlfriend and I shared a sushi platter for two, it was very tasty with lots of variety. Special shout out to Sophia who was working alone, her service was great, very friendly and helpful. Thanks a lot!

Bouyed by the reports of others expectations were high. The service was good in parts ,attentive but then not around. The setting is fine but sadly the food did not come upto expectations-not bad but not at the level the previous reviews had suggested. Surprisingly for a sushi restaurant the prices were reasonable.

I have enjoyed the food and the service and the quiet atmosphere in the restaurant. Recommend those who love fresh sushi.

Yum, yum, yum!!! Cannot wait to go back! Delicious sushi, best I've ever had. Great service. Nice calming environment.

Twice now we've ordered from Mr Miyagi. First time we spent over £50 for a family meal takeaway. Got home and realised they hadn't included any chopsticks or napkins, let alone the soy sauce we ordered. Sushi was cut poorly and looked slapped together. Most recently we ordered £20 worth and again they couldn't be bothered to put chopsticks in. Again the sushi looked like it had been quickly, roughly cut. Attempted to complain by their social media. No response. Genuinely would not bother again.

Slightly disappointed following our experience at dinner last night. I had been recommended to go by a friend who said it was the best sushi in canterbury, so maybe I had too high an expectation. The service was fairly slow and unattentive as they were very understaffed. To be fair, they were friendly and really trying to do their best to muddle through. The plain white walls were splattered with soy sauce and the tables sticky. The atmosphere was more of a greasy spoon cafe than a restaurant which was unfortunate. The sushi itself was nice, clean and well made but felt poor value for money. We had the sushi platter for 2 and a few extras. The sushi platter I had assumed would be a large mix of 2 of various items, however was 6 of this, 6 of that and a few pairs of things. The lack of selection made it quite boring for 37quid. The sashimi that we ordered separately was great quality and at least added to the variety. Following an 80 quid dinner, I left feeling still a bit hungry and flat. Perhaps this is best suited for a quick but different lunch or takeout. A functional eatery as opposed to a date night location.

It was one of the hottest days of the year. The thought of eating anything hot let alone at all substantial did not appeal. Sushi suggested a solution. Mr. Miyabi’s Sushi is in a great central location in the shadows of both the Marlowe Theatre and Canterbury Cathedral set in a large bright airy space in the wonderfully named Orange Street. It’s a cool minimalist aesthetic with clean lines, wooden floors and bright prints on the walls. I was the only besuited customer having come straight from court and was by far the oldest amidst young couples in sunglasses whose femmes barely wore the skimpiest of tops The menu is concise. Individual types of sushi are followed by set meals of various types, two mains. I had a sashimi set of raw bream, tuna and salmon. This was beautifully complimented by wasabi and ginger but not least soy sauce. Mango and green tea machi ice cream rounded off matters on a similarly high note.

Located in a side street behind the Marlowe Theatre. Pleasant decor, plenty of space tables are not crowded together. Visited for lunch on a Tuesday. Waitress was warm and welcoming, friendly service throughout. Large selection of sushi/sashimi dishes, but limited selection of only two hot dishes, a chicken teriyaki served with rice and a noodle dish with a choice of chicken or vegetables. Mt wife opted for the chicken teriyaki and I tasted it, It was delicious. Sushi was of good quality, my son and I shared a platter (which I felt was a little expensive at £31, and several additional rolls. All were delicious. Had to keep asking for more wasabi and pickled ginger however, which were served in very small portions. That and lack of hot food options are the only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5.

Nice food but again not friendly waitress. Restaurant is relaxing, but would not go back because of the waitress.

Super fresh delicious sushi - first time having sea bass sashimi and it was bloody good. The chef here is a master of his craft just like Mr Miyagi himself. If you’re a sushi lover - this is the place for you. If not - go anyway you will probably be converted. 10/10 for front of house too!

We’ve been coming to Qwan since he had his small restaurant at the other end of town. The sushi is always so fresh and tasty and the Qwan is always so accommodating. We’ve been to numerous sushi places over the years in London, Kent and Uae and mister miyagis tops others every time! It’s so lovely to see the mister miyagis grow and the new restaurant is beautiful perfect atmosphere paired with the best sushi what more could you want? A MUST when visiting Canterbury or kent even!

I ordered sushi for collection for my family as was going to be in Canterbury. The staff were friendly and helpful and the sushi was absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be back.

It is wonderful to see that the business has expanded from its former tiny cafe/bar style premises so that Mr Miyagi now accommodates table dining. Not knowing about the move, I happened across their new restaurant (close to the Cathedral entrance) after walking to the old premises and finding that it had closed down - this is my first time in Canterbury since before Lockdown One. I have been eating at Mr Miyagi's for some years (but only get to go their when I happen to be visiting Canterbury) and the food is, and always has been, excellent - the best I have had in the UK. And given the quality of the food, the value is astonishing compared to the prices a well-known sushi chain charges for their mediocre offerings. The menu offering is deliberately limited to sushi/sashimi/nigiri and a few teriyaki and ramen dishes, with everything hand prepared on site on the day or to order. There is no flashy conveyor belt, just a simple clean setting, with attentive service and Mr Miyagi himself on hand ready and willing to offer assistance when selecting from the menu. If you have not tried Japanese cuisine before, particularly sushi/sashimi/nigiri, this is the place to start.

Found by accident and so glad we did. Birthday treat for neice who loves sushi, she was very happy. Very friendly people, very accommodating, lovely food. Thank you!

Utterly delicious food and served by the lovely Darius and jazmine! Had an amazing time, largely due to the friendly staff and authentic sushi xx

Very nice sushi served by a friendly waiter and reasonably priced. We had the spicy salmon and chef's selection of nigiri. It was so delicious we ordered some more!

Amazing fresh sushi, extremely tasty and one of the best sushi experiences we have had. We took our sushi away. Very polite and efficient service in the restaurant.

I came here for lunch and was amazed. The food tastes amazing and the customer service is wonderful. The restaurant is clean and have a nice, calm atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!!!

I only recently discovered Mister Miyagi's but I'm so pleased that I no longer have to go to London for decent sushi. This is some of the best sushi I have had and it's reasonably priced. I like how the menu is simple and relatively...

Excellent food and good service, now in larger more central premises in Orange St. Menu not limited to sushi and everything we had was excellent but the dumplings and Teriyaki chicken were probably the best.

The salmon sashimi was the best I've ever tried, and I love how it's all made to order! The lovely man who gave me my take-away at collection was also so friendly and made me feel really welcome. I'll definitely visit again, such a brilliant...

We ordered a takeaway on our way to a few days away from Guildford to Herne Bay. We took a detour to Canterbury after reading the reviews and we were not at all disappointed. The Sashimi in particular was some of the best we have...

Favourite takeout option for me and my wife in Canterbury, incredible food and super reasonable price for handmade, fresh sushi. We order online for collection and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. Taking my nephew, who is learning about Japan, there this afternoon...

Always superb - delicious and great value. One of Canterbury's best kept secrets. I love it here and visit regularly (for takeaway at the moment)

My daughter and I usually eat in Mister Miyagi’s but as this was not possible at the moment we decided to try a takeaway. The food was fantastic, we will definitely be ordering again - highly recommend for a special lockdown treat.

The best sushi I’ve ever had! Super friendly staff and definitely worth the money! Will most definitely be coming back every week :)

Outstanding sushi and customer service. I have sat in to eat pre coivd and have ordered takeaway multiple times since and it has always been so delicious.

Great food, lovely staff. Friendly service. This little shop is so cute and very attractive from the outside. Canterbury has so many lovely buildings, nice to see this one being looked after. I will repeat myself, great fresh food, lovely staff. Thank you

Pedimos por teléfono para la recogida y pagamos en la tienda manteniendo el distanciamiento social. Estaba listo cuando dijeron que sería para la recolección.Tuvimos "Salmón crujiente", "Inari", "Langostinos y salmón" y "Omakase Sashimi" entre dos de nosotros, lo cual fue suficiente. Todo el pescado utilizado estaba muy sabroso y todo estaba delicioso.¡Gracias! Definitivamente lo recomendaría: hemos tenido mucho sushi y este es uno de los mejores de la zona.

We love going to this place! Sushis are excellent! Service is brilliant! My 2 small boys absolutely love this place! Mr Migayi also offered workshops on how to make sushi! I did it with 3 friends of mine and it was brilliant!

Natto maki. That’s all you need to know! Those little fermented soy bean rolls are perfection for those brave enough to try them!

Fantastic food, friendly service & I love eating in or taking away. I’ve been visiting here and taking all my family & friends over the last two + years and have found it excellent every time.

I was on my way to a hearing in the county court in Chaucer Road and was in need of a swift bite. An opportunity presented itself in the shape of Mister Miyagi’s a small cafe comprising a counter in front of a kitchen with bar style seats at the window. I guess it’s primarily geared to take-away but a window seat watching the comings and goings of Northgate Street sitting by a small globe or reading complimentary tourist literature about Canterbury was a most pleasant diversion. And the food perfectly complimented this atmosphere. I chose the weekly lunch special, a bento box packed with both sushi and sashimi, slices of raw salmon bring the stand-out ingredient for me. A pot of green tea was suitably refreshing. Service was friendly efficient and delight. All in all a little jewel.

Mister Miyagi es un restaurante familiar magníficamente lindo (a veces, la pequeña niña del dueño está ahí y ¡es ADORABLE!) Con comida increíble. Algunas personas han comentado sobre la temperatura, pero creo que olvidan que este sushi se hace a pedido en lugar de conservarse en refrigeradores o en cintas transportadoras frías. Definitivamente recomendaría esto a cualquiera que esté considerando dar su dinero para apoyar un negocio familiar en lugar de una corporación. Además, si te gusta la buena comida!

Sashimi Sinceramente fantástico! Realmente me encantan las vieiras y el salmón aquí, siempre muy bien presentados y deliciosos. Antes de encontrar este lugar, estaba acostumbrado a comer sushi occidental, pero ahora no puedo volver, me encanta el corte más delicado del pescado y la calidad del pescado, suave y sabrosa.

...but it isn't. The restaurant is cramped, doesn't have an alcohol licence or even a toilet. The edamame were hard, so was the rice and the nori was stale. The portions are small but the price isn't.

Came here with my partner for a birthday lunch. Fantastic authentic sushi from Kwan. A truly nice guy and very personable. I’ve been to Japan many times and this place reminds me of it. If you want authentic sushi come here !

Acabo de cenar en el único lugar donde se puede comer sushi recién hecho en Canterbury. Parece que esta posición privilegiada no es buena para el lugar. Al principio los precios parecen razonables. Pero luego consigues las raciones y son minúsculos. Nunca he visto sushi y maki tan pequeños en toda mi vida. Y luego tiene que esperar porque cada servicio de entrega se sirve antes que usted. Y hay uno cada 2 minutos. Deliveroo puede ser un gran servicio, pero no cuando estás en el restaurante y se sirven antes de salir cada vez que se abre la puerta. Y por este privilegio incluso pagas un 20% más. Ahora también hay otros lugares que cobran más por comer. Pero primero, hay algo como comer en la experiencia. Miyagi es realmente pequeña con algunos asientos como en una sala de espera. En segundo lugar, en otros lugares se muestran claramente los dos precios diferentes para comer y llevar. En Miyagi solo está escrito en un lugar pequeño al final del menú, ya que no quieren que lo veas. Me sentí estafado y nunca volveré allí. Solo deseaba que hubiera más lugares vendiendo sushi fresco en Canterbury. Miyagi es una vergüenza! ! ! ¡No feliz!

Large menu. Freshest food and fantastic quality. salmon melts in your mouth. The owner is so friendly and a master at his art. I can't recommend this shop enough!

For fresh, authentic and quality Sushi then Mr Miyagi's small sushi shop is the only place to go. Kwan (the owner) is friendly, helpful and expertly crafts your sushi in this intimate space. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely gentleman behind the counter making the sushi fresh to order. The food itself is Great! I am so happy that my friend told me about Mr Miyagi's! Definitely deserves a visit if you like your sushi!

El sushi aquí es delicioso, recién hecho cuando pides. Pedimos la fuente de salmón y el salmón ahumado y queso crema uramaki. Ambos fueron geniales. Llegó a 25 en total y no pudimos terminar todo el sushi. Así que lo pusimos en una caja para llevar y tuvimos una mini comida extra.

Love the sushi here, especially the spicy tuna and the Californian roll. The place is really small so its great for quick eating or getting a takeout

Pedimos tres tipos de uramakis. Estaban bien, nada mal, aunque el sushi llegó con una temperatura extraña, tal vez soy solo que me gusta más frío.

Órdenes: Sashimi Nagiri y rollo de carne de cangrejo

My daughter recommended this restaurant to me after very much enjoying a takeaway- well I wasn’t disappointed!! Very friendly, informative, efficient service! Tasty, healthy fast food - what more could you want - perfect! Best sushi we’ve ever had ❤️🍣🥢🥡Will definitely be returning.

Great sushi. You don't get a lot for your money though. It is quite an expensive place but very nice food.

¡He estado en Mister Miyagi más de 10 veces y estoy tan enamorado! ! Siempre tengo el Veggie Dream (que es VEGANO) y siempre es 10/10. Es caro, pero vale 100% como regalo. El mejor sushi en Canterbury, no Yo Sushi El señor Miyagi, en todo el camino, solo amor por este lugar, gran ambiente, tan amigable amor, señor Miyagi

tiny place, friendly proprietor, perfectly fresh fish - beautifully presented and tasting just wonderful. I've eaten here 3 times now (all within the last few months). Its not cheap, but the quality is consistent and very high. If you like sushi, this is the place to come - but if they run out of something, or sell out, then they'll close - just like old-fashioned bakers used to do. Its the sign of quality.....

There are 6 seats for dine in. Sushi is made per order. Sushi rice is not cold like sushi in supermarket. Sushi is nice and fresh.

I adore sushi and if you want the real thing (quality as you would expect only found in London) go to Mister Miyagi in Canterbury.

We went to cute and cozy miyagi sushi and ordered some nigiris to takeaway. Chef made them in front of me freshly. So delicious and satisfied. Highly recommend this place!

O dono é muito atensioso, a comida é preparada por ele mesmo, saí rápido e é deliciosa. Eu colocaria menos creamcheese nos sushis de salmão, mas pode ser que seja algo cultural e aqui na Inglaterra eles comam assim.

Pedimos comida desde aquí a través de Deliveroo, así que no estoy seguro de si mi queja en realidad se aplica cuando la comida se sirve en el restaurante. Podemos 8 salmón, atún hosomaki hosomaki 8, 8 aguacate y salmón uramaki uramaki y carne de cangrejo 8, suponiendo que sería más que suficiente para dos personas. Sorprendentemente, como puedes ver en las fotos (me pongo el paquete para la comparación) al lado de wasabi, las piezas eran muy pequeñas. El sabor es bueno y podíamos decir que el pescado era fresco, pero de ninguna manera la cantidad de sushi vale 22 libras. En cierto modo, nos sentimos robado por el lugar porque cuando hacemos pedidos similares en otros restaurantes de sushi, que en realidad para lo que se paga. En resumen, recomiendo el lugar si era más barato o han aumentado la porción.

Este lugar es pequeña y fácil de perderse, pero no lo hagas! El propietario es muy amable y servicial. El sushi es agradable, sabroso y fresco.

Hemos visto este lugar y pensamos sushi para almorzar.

El restaurante es pequeño, no es ideal para grupos grandes, pero adecuado para una parada rápida. El sushi es fresco y sabroso, tuve el atún nigiri.

I come here on a fairly regular basis (whenever I have a Saturday free) and every time the sushi is super fresh and tasty and I just can't get enough! I have only had the take away as it is more convenient for me, but have been waiting white there are diners there and they are always looked after. I would suggest my favourite but I honestly don't have one as it is all extremely special. Do try - even in the winter - it will warm you up more than you think it would (add some wasabi if not!) Enjoy.

I have been meaning to go here for a while and wasnt dissapointed. Very fresh and flavoursome sushi. Was nice speaking to the chef afterwards who knew his stuff.

The shop may be small and quiet but the presentation is wonderful and the service is personal. I have eaten at Mister Miyagi's at least ten times and not once have I ever been disappointed.The selection is very much a popular menu but with plenty of variety to suit anyone. The restaurant itself is small, with only bar style eating around the window and one wall. This isn't appropriate for families, but come here by yourself or with a few friends for a quick bite where everything will be prepared fresh.Zero complaints. Mister Miyagi, keep doing you.

This little shop serves up great sushi in a cozy friendly environment.The price is very reasonable for what it is.It is a much needed addition to the rather narrow selection of cuisines in Canterbury so am very happy to have it here!Would recommend the nigiris as they are excellent.It is a bit outside the city centre, but worth the travel there. If you can't be bothered, they also do deliveries! Call them up for that - I've included photos of their menu for those of you who want to call up for deliveries..

Always excellent sushi and good value for what you get. Friendly staff and quick service. More a take out place.

I needed something cold and a little different to break up teatime monotony, and this was well-received all round. I had to go back for it, as I was previously unaware that sushi is only truly fresh for two hours. We just about managed to eat it within that window, and the mouthfeel was better than some I've had straight away.The ingredient combinations were really interesting my fave being the combination of Lollo Rosso and fine beans. Easily delicious enough to walk back from Whitefriars for, and the couple who run it are lovely

We happened upon this place on our way to another Japanese restaurant. It is a very small husband and wife operation. The sushi was first rate and the owners are delightful! We had a mixture of nigiri, sashimi, sushi and several rolls (salmon handroll, fresh vegetable and tuna and avocado). Also miso soup. All was first rate, so much so that my wife went back for lunch the next day. She chatted with the owners. They just moved to Canterbury from London a few months ago and opened. It is on The Kings Mile off the beaten path a bit but away from the tourists. Wonderful!

Lovely place. Tiny but well furnished with a counter and stools. Had sushi made to order and it was great. Will go again.

Good sushi in kent when you cannot get to Central London where there's more choice. Prices however are slightly high and comparable to that of London, i would however eat here again.

In searching for Sushi in Canterbury this seems to be the only place to find it. The store front is not very big - they have four stools at a bar in front of the window. Service - was very friendly however not very fast as there is only one person making the sushi and one person taking orders and money. There is a small park very close so if it's a nice day you can get your food to go and sit outside and eat your lunch/dinner.Prices - they seem to be a little more expensive from what I'm used to in the states. They might be okay for England but still more than the states. You might think since this an island seafood might be a bit cheaper. But hey when you're the only game in town you can charge what you like. Quality - The rolls need to be wrapped a bit tighter. We had trouble picking the pieces up with chop sticks and they began to fall apart before reaching our mouths. If you pick them up with your fingers and dip them you'll be fine. Condiments - They provide very very minimal packets of soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. They also provide the little white paper ketchup cups to put these items and they are barely big enough to dip a piece of sushi in and get any sauce. I had to go back up to the counter and ask for me. She graciously gave me a couple additional packets but I shouldn't have ask for more.Since it seems to be the only game in town I'll probably be back at some point.

Great sushi! Quickly made with fresh products.It is a tiny little place but have really good atmosphere.We will definitely visit again.

We love the varied and interesting menu, superb quality, care and presentation taken with the beautiful freshly made sushi. They now offer a couple of hot options (soups, curries etc) on the counter each day It isn't cheap but but it is good and takes time to prepare. No one else offers it quite as good as this for miles!

These guys always short me on the basic supplements of ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi. These are essential to Sushi. Please put an option on website in order have possibility to order more packets.

They did gluten-free sushi for me as I requested, and they very worried and knowledgeable about it. Very happy with the service and will feel safe to order again from them. My daughter of 6 years who didn't like sushi, tried this sushi and loved it.

Mister Miyagi is a delicious experience where I ate one of the freshest salmon I had ever eaten. they prepare on the spot and can add or remove ingredient from the sushi's. They always use daily ingredients and will not leave the food overnight. Truly recommend it.

Delicious, freshly made sushi, really good seaweed salad, a little pricey and not the most comfortable seating unfortunately

The food is amazing but like I said, very over priced. They are definitely exploiting the fact that they are the only sushi restaurant in town. It's a shame because I love to eat her but its too expensive! Maybe offer a student discount?

Good veggie options including natto, as well as standard maki and California rolls. Great sides - the seaweed salad is worth having. The shop is small inside, but they do takeaway and local delivery as well as eat in.

Delicious and inventive sushi prepared fresh at the moment of ordering. I always get it as a take-away so I can't say much about the service or the place.

A simple but varied menu beautifully prepared and stylishly presented. Ingredients are of the highest quality. Portions are generous and great value for money. Salmon caviar, seaweed salad, teryaki tuna and sashimi squid were some of the best I've ever tasted. If they served soft-shell crab hand-rolls I'd move in!! I've eaten a lot of Japanese food - and can't recommend this great little sushi bar (and sister restaurant Tamago next door) highly enough...
