    I've frequented this place for 10+ years and always order the nigiri platter (10 pieces). The tempura is some of the best in the city--you can tell they always use fresh oil. It's very inexpensive for sushi while still offering good-tasting fish, which is what keeps me coming back. I've never had an issue with service; they're consistently fast and efficient. My parents usually get the teriyaki plates, so it's a spot we can all agree on, especially since it's less than five minutes away. They also have their own parking lot and a small seating area if you prefer dining in. I'm glad this spot has survived COVID and the current economy.

    This little hole-on-the-wall type of place.... Continues to never disappoint me. It's consistent. I get what I expect. It's nothing fancy. It's just simple and it's reasonably priced and overall the food is good. The staff is always great!

    Caterpillar role and spicy tuna roll

    Nothing fancy here, just reliable and quick sushi to satisfy the craving. I ordered the caterpillar roll and spicy tuna roll, which were both delicious. The spicy tuna roll was pretty spicy, but not to the point you couldn't finish it. They also have noodle soups and rice plates, which I haven't tried yet. They're relatively good priced for what it is.

    My family always goes here when we're down in SoCal! It's quaint--shares a small parking lot with other businesses and only has a few tables inside with some stools. There's also a couple tables outside. You order at the counter and they'll call out your order when it's ready. There's a fridge with a variety of drinks. I always order chicken teriyaki and California rolls during lunch. The sauce is delicious and the chicken is tender and perfectly grilled. The sushi is fluffy and soft, and the seaweed is easy to chew. Will definitely be back!

    I can alway count on the restaurant to serve up a delicious plate of food. There are so many delicious plates of food to choose from. The combo plates are of great value. Plenty of food for the price. I enjoy their combo sushi with teriyaki chicken plate. Service is fast. You have a choice of dining outside or inside. This is a small sushi restaurant which is always busy. There is free parking in the parking lot or street parking. Credit card and debit cards are acceptable.

    If you're indecisive between beef, chicken, and sushi this is the place to gooo! They've got combo plates and it's so yummy. My personal favorite is Combo C because I'm obsessed with their Crunch Roll sushi and beef. The staff is always so nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Seating is limited both indoors and outdoors, so keep that in mind during busy hours. no frills, just good food and friendly vibes. Definitely one of my new go-to spots now.

    Best beef teriyaki bowl I've had. Pretty well priced for what it is. Simple. Highly recommend if you're in the area and you want something simple and quick.

    The short ribs special hit the spot! This Japanese joint is extremely a must in this area is quite the service is fast

    We needed a place clean, close to the LAX, and quick. So, we ended up with Miyako Express. The vibe gave me a Mexican taco shop. I wasn't expecting a sushi place to be located like this. It turned out to be a nice, cute sushi restaurant. We ordered some sushi from the pictured menu on the wall. It seemed like they didn't have a lot of variety of fish or seafood, but not a problem. At the end, this is a small cute restaurant. We got a Red Dragon and a Green Dragon. Our orders came out quickly. They were both good, but not the best, or made me to go back. The rice was thick, the roll got broken while holding it with chopsticks. The tuna didn't taste so fresh. We were there around 6:30 pm. Maybe the tuna waited outside for dinner time. They were plenty of parking spot during our time there.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Parking: 2/5 Family friendly: 3/5 Stroller friendly: 2/5 ADA accessible: 2/5 Biggest positive things here are the flavor of the food, amount of food for the money and with my combo bowl, it was made fresh to order. Not sure if they have an actual teriyaki sauce, but they use sort of a ginger sweet soy for their salad and a sauce their meats. Not so positive things: parking is really hard (we went during dinner time) because of the small lot that's shared between a lot of businesses. Also, the dining area is quite small with probably 4 tables and then stool seating. Overall however, if I'm the area I'll be back for sure.

This time, I noticed this location offers special Gozen set meals that I hadn't seen before. They had a limited Dinner Gozen on the menu with only 10 sets available each night. Of course I had to order it. The set came with a little bit of everything: sushi, sashimi, katsu, eel rice, toro rice, ikura rice, soba, a variety of small cold side dishes, soup, and salad. It was a huge meal and I was honestly surprised I managed to finish the whole thing. I really enjoyed it because you get to try so many different items in one meal. If you're like me and love Japanese food, this is a great way to sample a little bit of everything without having to order a bunch of separate dishes. Everything tasted fresh and the quality was excellent. The restaurant itself isn't very big, so it can get pretty busy. They do take reservations though, which I'd recommend if you're planning to come during dinner. Overall, I really enjoyed this special Gozen meal and would definitely come back. It was a fun experience and a great value for the variety and quality of food you get.

It came with a salad, miso soup, ribeye steak, assorted tempura, tuna and albacore sashimi, pork cutlet, soba noodles, and sides. Everything I had was delicious. I especially enjoyed the steak, sashimi, and pieces of tempura. The steak, which came out sizzling hot on a skillet, was smoky, salty, and tender, the sashimi was fresh, and the shrimp tempura was crunchy. What impressed me most was that every item was served at the right temperature. The steak was hot, the soba was cold, and the sashimi was cool. Pretty amazing considering they were all served at the same time! Some closing thoughts before I wrap this review up. -The service was outstanding. The main dishes came out super fast. -I would recommend getting reservations if you're coming on a Saturday evening. I came here right at opening and most of the tables were already reserved. -If you're planning to order one of the gozen sets, you should come hungry, because you're going to get a lot of food. I would recommend this place 100%. For the quality, amount, and variety of food you're getting, as well as the reasonable price, I'm not sure how this place can be beat.

They have a variety of lunch specials, including a sashimi combo meal with 8 pieces, salad, rice, and choice of a side. So good. My sons ordered a sushi lunch combo, tempura kids meal, and some gyoza/soft shell crab -- all delicious. As a treat we also ordered the A5 Wagyu (which they allowed us to order for lunch). It was prepared table side and was just incredible. Our server Kelly was amazing! Loved her great recommendations, and she constantly checked in with us. Her German/Ecuadorian heritage coincided with an upcoming World Cup match, so having her as our server was extremely fortuitous. The restaurant ambiance is simple yet welcoming along the main road.

Parking was okay; I was able to easily find a parking spot and she took a little bit longer to find a parking spot. I was very hungry so I ordered kind of a lot of food: the shrimp tempura, the shishito peppers, a crunch roll with shrimp, and a vegan vegetable roll. Everything I ordered was actually really good. The main issue that I had was that there were a lot of flies in the restaurant. There were a lot of small flies but also the big kind of flies that fly around and that made the meal a little bit unpleasant. The servers were super friendly and attentive and the meal was otherwise good. I'm not sure if I'll come back because of the whole fly situation but at least the food was good
