Had a great Teppanyaki dining experience at Miyako. Our chef, Orlando, was entertaining and funny, involved all at the table in action. Food was cooked professionally and tasty. All staff was welcoming and easy to communicate with. Thanks

Nice intro to teppanyaki. I'd say it was a tad over priced for what's on offer. Didn't feel I couldn't make any of that at home, quite easily, as recipes were pretty basic. The people working are 0% japanese and the decor rather dull or outdated I'm not sure which it is.

Was amazing experience for my wife's birthday meal, our chef was entertaining and funny, involved all at the table in action. Food was cooked professionally and tasty. All staff was welcoming and easy to communicate with. Cocktails worth to try, and big glass, worth of money. Teppanyaki Royal meat was cooked to perfection. It was night to remember. Thanks

We had a Trppanyaki experience in this restaurant, it was much better than one we had in similar restaurants. The chef was very good entertaining and food was lovely. I recommend the saki in there, particularly the hot one with the main course.

If I could give minus I would. We went here for dinner and have been multiple times and had great evenings - but I will never return. We arrived and had to wait 20mins before table was available, we had to tell them we were heading to the theatre and then rushed the meal. A lady next to us was then unfortunately violently sick, on one of our bags. Rather than deal with it the ‘manager’ waited at least 5 mins before doing anything, leaving us sat by vomit, then moved others. I again explained we had to get to the theatre and was then told to wait as I’d made a scene - mistaken of being the person who was sick - she was quickly corrected. I said we’re leaving and was told to pay for a bottle of wine, which I had not drunk even a quarter of. I refused and quickly left - with vomit still on the floor. Awful management and never been treated so appalling - manager needs training - fast

We attended here for my nephews birthday. My sister in law asked of we could order from the starter menu and the set menu, we were told yes. Birthday celebration We got to the restaurant at 7.00 pm and by 9:21 pm some of us who ordered from the starters menu, had not eaten yet. Those who ordered starters waited 20 minutes between each starter and they were still waiting for their fried rice Diners who came after us, seated after us, were served first, had eaten and left the restaurant before some of us had even eaten. I would not recommend attending here with a large party, as our dining experience was horrendous. The staff were friendly, but not really helpful when it came to serving us.

‘Management’, where can I get started, we opted to use a groupon voucher which has been stated to be used at this venue, however I was lucky to call the place suggesting I had this voucher so they could prepare for me and to make it easier for them. Instead the lady who i’m assuming is the manager asserted her dominance, did not allow me to have a chance to speak, said in a rude manner that they do not accept it on a busy night. The groupon voucher does not state anything about being used on a busy night or not, I have never been this disappointed with a restaurant. I often look to go to places with a good reputation, this restaurant being one of them, the manager on the phone seemed to be not bothered about my requests and wanted me to speak to groupon regarding this. This is a restaurant matter where groupon are only the promoters. They need to find new service staff as this seems to be an issue, especially over the phone where you would want to convey a decent first impression. Instead I would suggest the Shogun Cube Teppanyaki where I enjoyed an amazing meal and amazing service from the best staff. You will not find that here instead you will have an annoyed manager not allowing you a coupon which is for their restaurant at the times they are open. Refusing this voucher had led me to creating this review, I have been left unhappy and disappointed. I cannot imagine the staff working under this manager, for her to speak to customers like this, it would mean that she treats the staff 10x worse as she has more power over them. I will not be visiting this place, I would rather go to another city or the shogun in the cube. Utterly Disappointed.

I've been a loyal customer at Miyako for over 8 years, but my recent experience was disappointing. I recently encountered exceptionally poor service. It appears there might be a new manager, or receptionist—uncertain of her position. This individual displayed hostility and treated me in an unpleasant manner throughout my visit, ruining my entire experience. It's regrettable, as I used to speak highly of this restaurant, recommending it to friends, family, and colleagues. I placed my handbag on the counter while my friend waited for the bill to pay as I was applying my lip gloss, she criticized me, suggesting I should have used the restroom if I wanted to fix myself. In shock I couldn’t believe her tone & what she just said imagine this is a team member of this restaurant. I then inquired about new management, she asserted that the same manager had been in charge for over 20 years darling I was truly shocked by the way she addressed me. The whole place has gone downhill, the food, the flavour & the authenticity. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable interaction with this staff member makes it impossible for me to return to Miyako ever again. Stick to the one in the cube real authentic Japanese food with good happy staff.

Terrible from start to finish, upon entrance staff are very friendly and welcoming. That is until you declare that you have a Groupon Voucher, we were seated amongst other guests who also were using Groupon and the food, service, and ambience was utterly disgusting. There is no set menu so they describe the courses to you, good luck if you have any special dietary requirements as I doubt this would be catered for. The restaurant was freezing cold for our entire sitting, two small portable heaters place around doing absolutely nothing, we had to eat in our coats. Food inedible, and is not 8 courses, freshly cooked infront of you but certainly not fresh produce used, everything tasted off. We were not treated as other guest, very little interaction in comparison to other tables that were not using Groupon. All in all complete waste of money we left cold & hungry.

Took my partner here for new years, it was unfortunate to experience an underwhelming five course meal. I booked this through groupon and was unhappy with the ambience of the table we sat on. We had sat with other strangers who obviously booked via groupon. Unfortunately we didn’t get the same experience as other restaurant goers. We had been sat silently on the table with no experience of watching our food being cooked in front of us like the other tables. The meals we ate came plate by plate from the kitchen. The prawn noodles only had three prawns and a large amount of noodles. It was actually quite depressing. The good thing is we loved the staff as they are all so lovely, kind, attentive and sweet. It’s such a shame they couldn’t create the same ambience for groupon users.

What a disappointment. We have been going here for 25 years and after this evening's experience, we are considering not going back. Poor service and poor quality food compared to all our previous experiences. Miso soup without miso; poor quality chicken, portions sizes that didn't warrant the price - koi set meal main only had 2 pieces of salmon, 2 prawns and 1 scallop, when it used to be double this. We have always had this menu and never had to complain about portions or value. The price has also increased for less food. The person who was 'in charge' to whom we expressed our disappointment came up with various reasons...its our christmas menu, we changed our supplier, its a company thing. The teppanyaki chef was good and engaging but the rest of the experience and food was very disapponting. Hope they make changes to go back to the great quality and service they used to have.

The atmosphere was nice, having your food cooked in front of you and the chef very entertaining but that's it! The food itself was a big let down, starters was a small portion of 4 finger food, a tiny bowl of salad with 3 mouthfuls it was finished, egg fried rice for 10 ppl was rice with 4 eggs hence the egg was non existence in the rice. The majority of the group opted for the Osaka menu, lamb and shrimps. Both fish and meat was unseasoned, tasted raw to the point I thought I was going to vomit. Received 2 large shrimps and a average portion of lamb with a tiny portion of shredded vegetables. Dessert was the smallest scope ever of ice cream and 1 slice of grilled banana. Overall the price paid for the food versus food received was seriously at odds. Paid £40 for set menu and received a KFC box meal. Waited ages for the 1 signature cocktail to arrive which was a gin mixture, very weak and warm, no ice. The evening was entertaining however a big let down on the food, left feeling very hungry and £53 short changed. Photos do not lie but the meal itself was £40!

It's pricey but the food taste and quality matches the price, its cheaper to get the set menu and you can order any other side you want from the standard menu, thes some items not on the menu so it's well worth asking the staff which other items they do. The staff are very friendly, excellent customer service, explain well for anything you're unsure of and ensure your allergies are noted. There is cross contamination (don't worry, staff let you know about this when you order) so if you're not okay with that, place isn't for you. Atmosphere here is good and staff will check up on ypu throughout to make sure everything is okay. Definetly a place you'd want to come for events and celebration. A very pleasant experience and will return again.

No había estado en este restaurante antes, pero hice una prueba antes de llevar a nuestro único hijo a una 40ª comida de celebración. Gran servicio y atención al detalle. Buena carta de bebidas con botellas de vino asequibles. Decidimos salir del menú a la carta. Se instaló para la comida del conjunto. Comida fabulosa, aunque demasiada soja la hizo muy salada. Salté la sopa de miso ya que también era muy salada. El bistec y el pollo se cocinaron muy bien al igual que las verduras acompañantes. Fabuloso dulce. A pesar de la comida salada estará en algún lugar que usemos nuevamente.

Buena experiencia en general, situado en el centro de Arcadia. El chef prepara la comida en una placa grande que usted y sus invitados se sientan alrededor. Chef también es animador y tiene algunos trucos para impresionarte, voltear, lanzar, etc. y se involucra a todos. Mientras que el entretenimiento es bueno y agradable, la comida está bien. Precio sabio lo encontró caro para lo que es. Tuve la combinación de mariscos a los 23, solo 1 langostino, 2 vieiras y una cola de langosta. La comida estaba recocida y gomosa. Pensé que la comida estaba seca, sin salsa. El entrante tampoco era bueno y no podía comer. Dice que la compañía era excelente si lo que buscaba era una experiencia adecuada para usted.

Service. Surly head waitress. Lovely other staff. Non-optional gratuity.We arrived at 7pm on Friday and were shown to our table by an unsmiling head waitress. Immediately after handing out the menus she demanded what we wanted to drink..give us a chance to view the menu! This same head waitress did not smile all night and was quite rude in wanting to shift us out for the next seating at 9pm. She also added on a non-optional gratuity and was quite grumpy when the group of 8 of us wanted to split the bill, scowling that she would not get a tip as we had put it all on out credit cards. The regular young waitresses were polite and our chef sweet.Food. If you like garlic and butter, this will be your thing! However, this is not refined fine dining. There is no aromatic notes or depth of flavour. This is non-creative basic cooking; just garlic and butter tossed onto rice, meat or seafood. Our table went for the seafood set menu and meat option as this gave you a range of food to try. The quality of the seafood and meat was excellent. Succulent big scallops, tender sweet lobster, fat king prawns and a generous side of salmon. The portions are generous. The chef salad was lacklustre; too much sweet mayonnaise and the sushi starter bland. This miso soup lacked miso paste and tasted more of chicken stock.DrinkThe beer and prosecco was nicely chilled and at reasonable prices.Entertainment.The chef was great fun, getting customers to join in juggling eggs, flipping shells into the bin and making jokes and flambé-ing food. However, while this is a great for parties and kids, it is rubbish if you want a romantic dinner for two or a girls catch up! I agree with a previous review, this is basic cooking at the cost of entertainment. It is also quite an animated restaurant with lots of screaming and whoops.Would I return?Yes but not for a while. It is value for money and the seafood quality good, but the lack of different flavours and grumpy head waitress mean I will prioritise other establishments over this one.

I been at the teppan-Yaki already a few times and I have always love it, this time when booking on the phone the lady that answer took the reservation really quick and didn't pay attention to what I was saying. We came here for my mothers birthday and mom and dad wedding anniversary I did point on the phone that we want it to eat the Theater and it was my mother birthday and anniversary. On our way we had to rang them and apologise because there was an accident and we were going to be late and they said that it was okay. When we got there the lady that open the door didn't knew about our booking and we were sat by a waiting room and another lady immediately told her about our booking. They took our drinks order and when we were ready to order they said the Theater was no available as we didn't pre order, when I obviously did but whoever who answer the phone was not interest on the details that I was trying to give them, so we decide to pay the drinks and leave as we came here for that and from no where the lady said we will serve the Theater but next time you have to pre order, how about next time the person that answer the phone calls pays more attention?. Anyway after all that bad moment the chef was really nice and funny, we laughed lots and enjoy lots! Food was delicious and the show of the teppanyaki was really enjoyable. I would give 5 but because that little inconvenience I would give 4.

Absolute taste sensation! Attentitive staff, friendly and entertaining! The quality and taste of the food was out of this world! We are rounding the family up and bringing them with us next time! I’d give more than 5 if I could. A seriously great experience

First visit to Japanese restaurant and will not be our last. I love fish & shellfish, other half loves meat and we both were well catered for. There was option of pre theatre menu, set menu or individual dishes. We chose a fish set meal at £24 and a meat set meal £26. Starter was California roll, chicken balls and salmon with a bowl of salad (best tasting dressing ever). Miso SoupThen the main event.. the working chef at your table - this was wonderful he involved us in his cooking and entertained us all posing for pictures and even taking pictures of us. Food was delicious and plentiful but it is wonderful watching the chef cook and smelling the food as it cooks. The waitresses were so helpful answering our queries over menu.

Visited here spontaneously having never tried this type of cuisine before Cannot recommend enough lovely food staff friendly and chef cooks in front of you. Bit pricey but well worth it

Went here for a birthday meal and it was perfect. Great selection of food (vegetarian, meat and fish) and our chef was so funny and lovely. All the staff were very friendly and service was quick. Food tasted DIVINE and was great watching it all being cooked. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

Third visit here over a few years but this will be our last. Girls not very friendly to welcome party. Left at table without drinks. Starters were fine the chef came. He wasn't entertaining as previously and didn't listen or answer our questions. Perhaps he was having a bad day but this is his job and we were paying for his attention so I am not happy. Main food was ok but disjointed ie got the rice way before mains and then the noodles with veg. Drinks very expensive and to make matters worse the bill is lumped into one amount without breakdown. Sorry you will have to improve to get my due to back.

We got here pretty close to closing time so maybe that’s why we didn’t feel welcome even though they knew we were on our way. The teppanyaki was very entertaining and the chef went out of his way to cook the fish before everything else as I’m a pescatarian, so 20/10 for him. The waiting staff were otherwise surly except at the end - tip time! Sushi was lovely but not sure if I’d go back considering the choice in Birmingham.

Siempre nos visita aquí cuando vamos a Birmingham. Es una visita obligada! La comida es absolutamente fantástico! Todo el 'teatro' de la comida es toda una experiencia! Todo el personal es amable y siempre una cálida bienvenida. El servicio es rápido y profesional. Nos llevamos a nuestro amigo aquí para su 50 y ella era abrumados. Me encantó el hecho de que se puede 'implicado' si así lo desea. Muy agradable! !

Went to Miyako Teppan-yaki fairly late in the evening. We ordered a platter of 20 sashimi and then we ordered some sushi. The food was gorgeous. Especially the sushi. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the food and will definitely return again soon.

Had a great dinner with business friends. Welcoming staff and entertaining chefs is always a success, and when you get very tasty food everyone is happy. This is a nice place to enjoy dinner with friends and/or family.

Our first time at a teppanyaki restaurant – did not disappoint! Both entertaining and delicious. Particularly fond of the plum wine!

My son likes Chinese food (I'm not a huge fan), and although this is supposed to be Japanese, everything about it says Chinese. So the story is, you sit around a hot grill table, and the chef puts on a bit of a show while he prepares egg fried rice, vegetables and grilled whatever. If you are expecting high cuisine, pass now.

**UPDATE - Sadly now closed!** Incredible experience! Wonderful service, absolutely amazing food, excellent quality drinks. We went for the bottomless summer menu, tried all the vegetarian dishes which were all outstanding and amazing value. The staff were really attentive and warm. Best Japanese food we’ve had outside of Japan! Made our wedding anniversary extremely special and we can’t wait to visit again with friends. Thank you Sushido!

The food was horrendous. The prawns were dry and flavourless. The mussles were awful. The korean chicken was again flavourless. However the staff were very attentive and the service was great. Gave 1 star as I didnt go there for the staff 😭

Have been planning to dine here for some time and finally made it. The decor is beautiful and the music and atmosphere truly relaxing. The choice is so extensive that it can be a bit overwhelming but the staff do provide advice. In the end we plumped for a more modestly priced platter with some scallop sashimi, crispy hosomaki and a side of seaweed salad. The dishes were all delicious with stand outs being the scallops dusted with tiny emerald green eggs, the crispy hosomaki (an unlikely but moreish combination of salmon, Philadelphia cheese, teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds topped with a slice of strawberry) and the eel nigiri. There is a good range of Japanese beer and sake although we stuck with tea. We will certainly return. Highly recommended. We will certainly be returning.
