Positioned on the top level of the riverside Southgate complex, Miyako offers stunning views and delicious food amidst the hub of Melbourne's cosmopolitan arts, leisure and boutique shopping precinct. Classy decor with river stones, bamboo stakes, lattice floor, and birdcage lamps complement a varied menu of Japanese cuisine encapsulating sushi, sashimi, rice, noodles, hot and cold meat dishes and teppanyaki.
The space, too, engages various different moods - if the teppanyaki frenzy gets overwhelming, snap up an outdoor table with a view of the Yarra River or retire to a more formal dining room where a calming Buddha wall sculpture and gentle flute music soothe. Banquet menus and a smaller private dining room cordoned with traditional white screens make Miyako a great choice for business functions or dinner before or after a show at the nearby Victorian Arts Centre and National Gallery.

I love it!
Taking my mother there for her birthday was definitely the right choice!
Initially I wasn't a fan when my colleague recommended me to Miyako for their excellent food and service, but after reading through their website about the new chef that they brought in, I decided to give it a try. And god, was it good or what?!
Their prawn tempura were so nice and crispy, that we had to order second serve to keep everyone happy. I also love their yummy and juicy wafu steak, and oh, the sashimi are so fresh too!
Atmosphere was great. We sat in the balcony area with the beautiful overview of the yarra river. And we can hear the occasion laughters from the Teppanyaki area where other diners are catching eggs with their mouth. Defintely going back to give Teppanyaki a try next.

Horrible!
Food is poor and way overpriced. With the abundance of Japanese restaurants in Melbourne especially in the CBD, you could get much better at Japanese restaurants donw Chinatown. Servings are small, and ingredients are used are low quality. Service is appaling. We were seated at the Teppanyaki bar and told that we could not order from the 'normal' menu by a rude and unfriendly waiter. He also conveniently forgot to bring us our wine and had to be reminded. Oh, and he also forgot our green tea and tempura order. After being reminded for the 3rd time, they brought us our tempura - which by the way, was the wrong one! In my seven years in Melbourne, I have never had a much worse dining experience than at Miyako. Do yourself a favour and steer clear!

Regular for Tepanyaki!
We have never had anything but great service and meals at this restaurant. The teppanyaki grill is fantastic and interactive with the food always being superb.
We have always enjoyed this experience and rate it up there with Koko's (far more costly).

Food Quality: Poor and simply super over-priced. Anyone who had a decent California roll before would know what it is made up of. In this faked Japanese restaurant, California roll = 90% vegetable, 10% other ingredients. The sashimi was quite fresh but was served in such cuts that were just not right. The tempura is too greasy, thus not crisp. The sizzling mixed seafood of the main course is the most ridiculous of all. Usually, with something that cost $29, you would generally expect good quality in return. Instead, this dish only comes with 1 small dried-out grilled prawn, 2 small charred scallops, 1 overcooked oyster, 1 piece of small tasteless salmon and 1 small hardened squid.
Sake selection is very poor, no Tamanohikari, no Gekkeikan, no Kikumasamue. And, if you are a veteran in sake, you would know that the sake mentioned above are among the top sakes. Thus, I ordered a $30 white instead.
Service & Atmosphere: I had my dinner booked for 7:30pm but my table was not ready till 8:10pm. Throughout the whole dinning experience, I feel neither welcomed nor properly served. I have to ask my designated waiter 4 times before he would bring me some water. Funny how, the moment the menu was given to me, I was immediately asked what kind of drink I would like to have. Damn, I didn't even have the chance to glance through the list yet!! The waiter is quick in cleaning up the dishes, that is even before I have finished my dish??!!
