Really great and Freya was amazing as our server!

Freya was absolutely amazing from Start to finish. She helped us to pick the best foods to compliment each other and nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing and we can’t wait to return

The food is delicious, and CJ and the rest of the serving team were excellent.

Our waitress Freya was charming and very efficient. Would recommend.

Nice atmosphere, warm on an autumn evening and decent priced wine. Lost a point as the toilets were nice but hadn't been checked or cleaned.

lovely food and very friendly waiter - CJ

My favourite restaurant but out with 3 people new to Japanese. All enjoyed it and would come back

Lovely dinner. Great sushi! CJ our waiter was very accommodating and friendly!

Our waiter CJ was lovely and very attentive Food was lovely

Food was tasty however the service was poor - got our order wrong x2 and did not have an allergen menu for the nut allergy on our table which was alarming. Staff did not seem to know what they were doing and definitely need more training.

The food wasn't bad but the service was great! Thanks to Yari for helping us choose the menu and serving us! Yumm!!

Thanks to CJ for doing an excellent job of serving us on the floor/table which is an incredibly challenging task. Brill food. Yum!

Food was okay, but we felt rushed by the staff and didn't have time to fully enjoy the meal. Cocktails were great. Not worth the higher than average price.

Freya looked after us, food was delicious, thank you for a wonderful experience!

Incredible food and amazing customer service from Freya, who went above and beyond .

Amazing experience in our first visit. CJ was our host and took care of us with an outstanding service. Will defo be returning.

Great value buffet and fabulous food. Freya in particular was very friendly and attentive.

Freya was very welcoming and provided an amazing service.

Great food and service all round especially freya

Served by CJ. Great food and service

CJ helped us with what we need.Amazing staff!

We came here as a small group and it was amazing food and the service was 10/10, filip and DJ were wonderful, made very good cocktails. Recommend if you want to celebrate here!

Filip and DJ was Amazing they was attentive and helped us with all a special request and they the cocktails were unreal

We have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Have there been minor issues? Yes - like all places. But I can say that we are proud to call this place our favorite sushi place.

Food nice but not overly warm, Attentive staff

Filip was amazing and took great care of us

No Sushi bar in operation. Food was OK, but for the price we have had way better and fresher tasting Sushi along with the benefit of watching it made. Loads of mayo, nigiri with pre-loaded with wasabi and rice seemed not to have any seasoning/vinegar. Drinks came out at different times, draft beer and glass of wine? Waiting staff is very young and can't answer any simple questions on the menu which highlights they have not learnt it. Mixed seating, raised and low, with bar stool and high table and wall bench on one side opposite normal chair. We watched a group request a table change as they were with older people that could not use a high chair. We had very high expectations, and although nothing terrible, I would probably not return.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal here. The staff were friendly, professional and attentive. The food was delicious and very well presented. We will definitely go back there and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

First time ordering from this restaurant. incredible food, super fresh, arrived in immaculate condition. Full of flavour, taste buds were tingling. hugely recommended

Really lovely food served by a lovely friendly waitress! Food tasted really fresh and great portion size as well! Will definitely return

The food was okay - nothing to write home about. The biggest negative was that we had to argue with a waiter about one of our dishes, as they hadn't made it properly (brought us tempura instead of panko coated - katsu curry dish). The waiter insisted that's the way it is supposed to be, and even went and checked with the kitchen, even though in the menu it says otherwise. I was made to feel unreasonable for insisting on having it made properly. It looks very chic, and the staff are friendly and smiling. The music choice struck an odd note, and was a little too loud. Perhaps we went on an off day as I'd heard good things about it.

We went for the buffet Sunday lunch. Really great! I would recommend going when the buffet starts to ensure there are all the options available. The duck gyozas weren’t as quickly replenished as everything else when I went. The staff were lovely and tentative. It would be good to have a vegan option for dessert other than sorbet. But all options in the buffets were really good.

Having had great food from this place in the past I was looking forward to a return trip with my two children. I unfortunately cannot review the food on this occasion because we left within 20 minutes. The service at Miya was embarrassingly bad. I actually felt sorry for the chef who has delivered great dishes previously - the whole experience was let down by their front of house team. Having booked a table for 3 for a Saturday night and travelled 15 miles to the restaurant, the bemused greetings person looked at their bookings sheet and must have realised they made a mistake and overbooked the main dining area, because we were shown to a large sunken table for 10, in a separate area which is clearly designed for large groups. This meant not only being placed next to a large party of ladies (who seemed to be having a great time at their fellow diners' expense), but in an area where getting the attention of the waiters seemed particularly challenging. We then waited approximately 20 minutes with only a glass of water for company, and no sign of anyone to check on us or to take our orders. At this point we decided enough was enough and we voted with our feet and left. If a restaurant is going to command high prices for its food, you would expect the waiter/waitressing staff to be commensurate with such a premium establishment. As things stand there is no way we will be returning anytime soon. A real shame.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Miya who made my special day amazing- especially to Dillon and Phillip who were friendly, funny and made us feel welcome. We got seated at a Chabudai which added a nice authentic feel to the night. The food was well presented, the portions generous and everything tasted amazing. The starters were yummy and for main I had the duck which was cooked perfectly and we had two fussy 16 year old who said the katsu chicken was one of the best they've tasted. Desert was also very good. Also thank you for the complimentary bottle of champagne and meal

Family run business, great food and great decor. Great addition to Aylesbury dinning experiences.

We went for the Sunday buffet. The food was very tasty and the staff friendly and helpful.

All waiting and bar staff were lovely.. friendly and professional.. older lady very rude and abrupt when asking us to move downstairs.. lovely evening until she arrived

Absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious!

Lovely place for an evening meal, came here as a double date having only really had this type of food from places like Yo sushi or Wagamama and we were all super impressed with the quality and portion sizes, as well as attentive and knowledgable staff Food was delicious Not a cheap place to eat but 100% worth the little extra you pay

Unagi sashimi was excellent, tuna hosimaki was fine but taco nigiri (octopus) was like rubber and inedible.

Birthday treat with kids had the teppanyaki table for 12 of us. Alfred our chef was really funny and made such a fuss of the kids they loved it. Staff really attentive, food excellent, definitely recommend

First time experiencing the Sunday buffet. Lots of food on offer with a variation of sushi and hot food. Buffet was always topped up with fresh. Waiters and waitresses very helpful and polite. Would go again 😊

Been here a few times last year with my family (8 people) and it was lovely so we tried to book again for this month and we were told we needed a £10 deposit, annoying but seems to be the way a lot of restaurants go now, the issue I have is they wanted us to pre-order. Very strange and really put off, who knows what they want before they go and what a faf that creates. Why is it an issue for a restaurant to accommodate 8 people ordering off their regular menu. Needless to say we will go elsewhere.

I had a lovely dinner in the miya with my family and the second we walked through the door we were greeted by a very charming host who took us up to our beautiful table, we were looked after all night with Immaculate food and amazing cocktails, the service could not have been any better me and my family are very impressed and will definitely be back in the future.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Just the best Japanese food. The tuna soft and succulent, the beef absolutely incredible. Frankly, it was prefect. The drinks were interesting and the service excellent. Really enjoyed it.

Hidden Gem in the middle of Aylesbury, drove pass so many time and never notice it until a friend recommended it. First thought was "i don't like sushi!!", but after looking at the menu, we thought lets give it try, and WOW, i was surprise that there was so many cooked Japanese items that i never have heard of. The sushi rolls are a must, butchermen roll with chicken teriyaki and sirloin beef is out of this world, also try the seared salmon sashimi if you are not too sure on totally raw fish. its in a old police station just opposite the theatre and plenty of parking next door. Service was Great as it can be on a very busy Saturday evening. we will be back for sure. we would like to try the Kareoke Room next time:)

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Great value for money and the drinks are amazing,definitely recommend to anyone in aylesbury🙌

Great selection of cocktails. I highly recommend the velvet espresso martini. Well done to Dillon for the skills !!! 👌 Lunch menu's is great with good selection for vegetarians and good portions with the bento box.

We have just had arguably the best buffet ever We went with some friends on a double date and did not know what to expect but the food and service surpassed are expectations A great meal in a fantastic location Thoroughly enjoyable

My husband and I have been going to MIYA for years now, always enjoyed it and never had any issues. We visited on a Sunday back in December and we noticed a few things were different I.e the green tea now comes in a basic white china cup instead of the Japanese style & the chopsticks are now cheap single use ones. Nothing major but it was disappointing to see. We then visit again with friends on a Saturday evening in February… the service was awful. I’ve never had bad service at MIYA but the staff who I’ve experienced before with no issues, were so rude. It wasn’t busy and we’d eaten our starters and our mains had come out before our drinks did. In the meantime, other customers started to arrive & order their drinks (cocktails) and were receiving them in good time. I asked the waitress if our drinks were coming as our mains were now here and she snapped at me “they’ll get here when they get here” Normally I wouldn’t chase but as I said we’d already finished our starters and other tables who came in 15-20 mins after us had received their drinks. Cheap single use chopsticks remained along with other little cut backs/ changes - a real shame considering it’s not a cheap place. Food is still good but I don’t think I’ll be coming back as often after the last 2 visits.

We saw 4.6 evaluation on google and decided to come here, however for our disappointment: - First we order chicken teriaki, which is in the Main dishes in the menu, however be aware you pay £19 for 5 small pieces of chicken no sides nothing else not even a small salad...the chicken wasnt glazed as supposed, very watery, and nothing special for the chicken... 19 pounds for a piece of vhicken breast - Due to realising doesnt come with any side we ordered a japanese steamed rice side which when arrived it was a basmati prepared in a way that sticks... not at all japanese rice, we are japanese food addicted and my husband is a japanese so we recognise easily. - the curry we ordered was okay average flavor, sabe as wasabi restauranti

Fab evening, really lovely food and great pleasant staff. The owner is passionate about the restaurant and that really came across. Strongly recommend

Very yummy food, with a large selection of both raw or cooked fish, along with vegetarian option too. Very friendly band attentive staff. Parking right next door. Price isn't too bad considering a Japanese restaurant. They have a large bar down stairs with a variety of cocktails.

Amazing food coupled with attentive and friendly service. Highly recommended

Not real Japanese food, and food was quite lacking in seasoning. They poured bottled water as we arrived which we hadn't asked for but were charged. Food and drinks way overpriced and service charge added without asking. There is a bit of an attitude in this establishment, can't quite put my finger on it, but they are certainly nothing special. This is Aylesbury! Not London. I have had far, far better for less in London with a better ambiance.

This Japanese restaurant located in the town center, offers a fantastic dining experience with a great ambiance and delicious food. Their takeaway service seems to be well-executed, with excellent packaging and presentation. While the prices may be slightly higher compared to some other places, they still offer good value, especially considering they're more affordable than major chain Japanese restaurants. Overall, Mia seems like a perfect spot for a weekend dinner for those who enjoy oriental cuisine.

First time for us and very satisfied. A highly recommended place, good food and good service. One of us was glucose intolerant and had no problem with the gluten free menu. We will return for sure.

Visited the Korean BBQ tonight and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and fantastic value for money. Service was efficient and friendly too.

My box for one was amazing. I customised some of our order with no problem. Hubs had prawn Katsu which was fresh and nicely spiced. Thank you for a great meal.

First time visit to Miya. The location is a rather dull urban roundabout in Aylesbury, and the external appearance of the building, which has the whiff of an ex municipal facility - a library, or council office perhaps (local historians will put me right, I'm sure) - do not set a high expectation, it's brilliantly convenient for pre-theatre drinks or dinner as it's literally across the road from Aylesbury's other prize destination, the Waterside theatre. So having successfully resisted the temptation to judge this particular book by its cover, I have to say the reality was a very long way indeed from initial appearances. The service was as one would expect, efficient and cordial, but the food - wow, it was fantastically good. Encouraged by another TripAdvisor review (thank you, whoever you are!), I went for the Miso Cod Fillet which is outstanding (if you like spicy asian / Thai fusion - then again, if you don't, this is not the restaurant for you). We've lived in this part of the World for some time and are now rather irritated that we've not discovered this treasure sooner. My wife and I were slightly frustrated that we were on a deadline to get the theatre, so ours was a shorter visit than we would have liked, but this first visit was sufficient for us to conclude that we will be returning.

Had the buffet this afternoon and whilst pricey, the food was well worth the money. Have been here a few times and am never disappointed. Top class all round!

Had an amazing meal on Saturday evening with my visiting family. Everyone enjoyed the lovely food & atmosphere. We’ll be returning on their next visit. I might pop in before they visit though. Fantastic

Just stunning. Food is delicious. Staff are friendly and polite and the atmosphere perfect. The food came quickly and was divine. It’s not often you see Japanese restaurants outside of big cities and this is a hidden gem!!!

Had an amazing meal for valentine's, great atmosphere and staff really friendly. Would recommend a visit. Good selection to choose from

This is the second time we have visited Miya (once in 2023 and then now) and on both ocassions the food and service has been good. There is a wide range of very tasty small plates and main dishes to choose from and all were presented in a delightful way. I'd recommend this place for Sushi and also for couples, groups and special events, as they have plenty of room and at least one large private room.

We were sceptical but decided to give it a go after reading the reviews. Glad we did! The food was delicious hot and served promptly. The staff were professional and courteous and we had a lovely evening all in all. You have our repeat custom.

Great service, quick delivery, delicious sushi. Will definitely order again.

Came here for my wife's birthday and the sushi was exceptional (as were the cocktails!). Great service too.

Delivery was prompt and friendly. Food quality was good, but not as good as dining in!

Horrible experience. Went for a family lunch today, Sunday, and they told us that we could choose to have the buffet or menu a là carte. My partner decided to have a la carte and my daughter and I buffet. After getting the food the manager of the restaurant told us that we could not sit together and my partner has to sit on a separate table because he had a different service. I was completely puzzle of this behaviour as both option where offered when we were sitting together. There is no policy in the menu for this and it finish ruining our lunch as my daughter got upset and finished paying 70 pounds for a terrible experience. Do not recommend at all.

Thank you so much for making our Christmas party so amazing! We all loved the Teppenyaki, big thank you to chef Alfred and Rosie for looking after us. The food and service was exceptional as usual.

The venue is lovely, but I think could be used for better use upstairs it feels empty. The staff could be better dressed. Food was nice 👍
