Tokyo Izakaya in Birmingham

By far the best sushi restaurant in the city.

**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!

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

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.

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 😭
