    Lady in Red Roll
    Asia V.

    I went here on the recommendation of a friend while I was in the area and I loved it! I went during the afternoon and my party was seated quickly by the friendly hostess. Both restaurant and bathroom were very clean. I regret not taking more pictures but honestly I was hungry and the food looked too good when it arrived. My table decided on these specialty sushi rolls: Crunch, Popcorn Lobster, Pink Lady, Lady in Red, Miyako. I didn't even use soy sauce, everything was flavorful and delicious! I especially recommend the Lady in Red roll. All in all, it was a satisfying meal and I want to go back for their izakaya menu!

    Solid Japanese resto run by a Korean family in Santa Monica! The bentos were reasonably priced with a good variety of items. I like how they gave me a free sashimi on the house

    Lovely place near Santa Monica

    I personally really love oysters and now they have $2 new menu for each of them. Good size fresh oysters with sake discount my favorites!

    Food is so good, good customer service. The location is great! Ive been here many times and i will always come and eat here. They always serve everything fresh! The ambiance is perfect for enjoying sushi, ramen--whether you're craving something cold or hot.

    Rude, dismissive and arrogant waitress.

    Absolutely never coming back. I'm a local as in 2 blocks away. I come to this place twice a week. My bill is never bellow $100. I always come on Wednesdays and Fridays. I come here because I love the sushi rolls and Japanese miso Ramen we have the same waitress. She always nice and friendly. Today we were kicked out, discriminated against. Susie states a costume last time complained about my toddler making too much noise. So this restaurant is not family friendly. Susie said "yes hi-chair but shhhh" my son has a disability. It is unreasonable for a child to be absolutely quiet. I guess we are never coming back. We asked to have the owner info but were refused and asked to leave. I have felt some kind of discrimination at other times. For example The sushi chefs gave complementary Albacore to other people of his own race but not my family. It didn't bother me then because we were done with our meal but if you are giving a complementary Food to one person, you have to at least offer to the other table who probably is spending the same amount of money. I will absolutely take further action.

    Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better * Miyako Roll: Creamy avocado, fresh fish, and perfect sauces--so flavorful and satisfying. * Negi Hama Roll: Light, fresh, and topped with a tasty sauce. * Shishito Peppers: Smoky, salty, and addictive. Great side dish! * Sweet Shrimp Nigiri: Super fresh with a touch of ikura on top. The fried heads were a crunchy bonus. * Scallop Nigiri: Sweet, tender, and balanced with a hint of yuzu kosho. Great vibes, amazing food. Can't wait to go back!

    Such great food! Good pricing for Santa Monica, we sat at the sushi bar and had a great time here. Definitely recommend! The manager came over and gave us a complimentary bottle of sake, I officially love this spot. Can't wait to come back!

    Love new $2 oyster with sake discount. This place is good for lunch and dinner. Nice cozy vibe with friendly staffs and fresh sushi always.

    Had a great time here at Miyako! Service was 10/10 and the food was superb, as usual. I recommend the Jalapeño Pop and their yellowtail. I live around the area and I can easily promise that I will be back soon! Oh and their calamari is great too, especially w sake.

    Front: Miyako Roll  Back: Negi Hama Roll

    Came in for lunch on Saturday, the staff was really friendly and seated my husband and I very quickly! The restaurant was very clean and the servers were attentive. The food was superb and the portion sizes were so generous. We got two rolls, the Negi Hama and the Miyako roll, to share and a bowl of their miso ramen. My favorite of the two rolls was the Negi Hama; the yuzu was the cherry on top of the fresh yellow tail! The Miyako roll was delicious too, with a great ratio of fish to rice in the roll. The ramen portion was massive, my husband and I were able to split it between ourselves and leave full and satisfied. Overall, we had an amazing experience here, if you are in the area and craving good sushi, you should definitely stop by.

    The food here is beyond memorable. Each bite regardless of sushi or ramen, were a mouthful packed full of flavor. The sushi was so fresh, my wife and I wanted multiple orders of the rainbow rolls. The only thing stopping us were the fact that we ordered different rolls and ramen and in the end sadly stomach capacity won. There are plenty of options in the area for ramen and sushi, you would absolutely be missing out by passing this restaurant over. Such a delicious meal, such top notch service. Dinner just ended, and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

    Miso Soup

    Such a Great Spot for Japanese Food! The vibe was super cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Everything I tried was delicious, but the katsu was the real standout--perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sauce was just right. The sashimi and sushi were also super fresh, and you can really tell they care about quality here. The prices were totally fair for how good everything was, and the atmosphere made it easy to just relax and enjoy the meal.

    Sushi sashimi bento 3 items Bento

    I had lunch with my friend today. Their Sashimi bento is so fresh and affordable like $28 and the portion is perfect for me as well! My friend got 3 items bento and their Katsu and gyoza are the BESTT. It's soo crispy and good!!! Also, servers and chefs are so nice! I want to have dinner to drink next time here because there vibe is so cutee and comfortable to talk :))

We came in for dinner on a Sunday night with a large group and were seated within 15 minutes. From what we could tell, there were only two servers, and they were responsible for running their own food while also handling takeout orders. They did an AMAZING job for only two people managing so much. As soon as we were seated, we got waters and let our server know we would be paying separately. She was very friendly and worked with us perfectly. We were able to split the bill into four checks, which worked great for all the couples in the group. I ordered the Bento Box with salmon, and my husband got the Bento Box with chicken. We also ordered the Crunch Roll. The Crunch Roll came out first, and it was delicious and definitely lived up to the name--it was actually crunchy! I loved the size of the Bento Box. It came with so much food and included a starter miso soup. The miso soup had great flavor, although I personally prefer larger tofu pieces. That might just be a personal preference, though. I usually have a lot more to say in my reviews, but everything was absolutely delicious and the service was truly 10/10. I do want to mention that one of our friends ordered the ramen, and she felt the flavor was a little bland. Her parents own both a Mexican restaurant and a sushi restaurant, and one of her dad's rules is that if you're a sushi restaurant, stick with sushi and do it well instead of trying to do too many different things. One thing done really well is sometimes better than trying to do everything.

    20 Years of Family Owned Sushi, From Monrovia to Santa Monica…read more We stumbled upon this place while shopping along Third Street Promenade, and it turned out to be one of the best spontaneous finds we've had in a while. Mikomi Sushi originally started in Monrovia and has been family-owned for over 20 years. Their new Santa Monica location carries that same legacy, and you can taste it in the quality of the fish. Ambiance The interior is surprisingly spacious, with a blue-tiled full bar and lantern-lit decor that gives off a relaxed, slightly upscale vibe--even during the day. It feels welcoming for both casual lunches and evening outings. Food - What We Ordered - Kaisen Don ($60)- This was the star of the meal. The bowl came generously topped with fresh sea urchin, scallops, ikura, and an assortment of sashimi (salmon, tuna, yellowtail), along with tamago and sweet shrimp. The shrimp heads were deep-fried separately--crispy and flavorful, a very authentic Japanese touch. The side salad and miso soup were also well-executed, not just afterthoughts. -Rainbow Battera & Fiery Salmon Battera ($19 each)- I had never seen square-shaped sushi before. A quick search revealed that this is oshizushi (pressed sushi) from the Osaka style. The rice was firmly packed, and the toppings were layered neatly, creating a beautiful presentation. The spicy salmon version had a pleasant kick without overpowering the fish. - We also noticed that the Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna and their signature cocktails are popular among other diners--definitely worth trying next time. Portion & Value Two of us shared the Kaisen Don and two Battera boxes, and we actually had leftovers. The portion sizes are generous, and considering the quality of ingredients, the price point is reasonable for the area. Service The staff was attentive and patient in explaining the menu items, which helped a lot given the extensive selection. Special Offers - Happy Hour: Monday-Thursday, 2:30-7:00 PM - nigiri starting at $3-5 per piece. - Weekend drink specials: Beer tower for $38, and bottomless mimosas or sake bombs for $18. Parking Meter parking is available, but we found it easier to park at the adjacent Public Parking Structure 1--just a two-minute walk to the restaurant. Overall This is a solid choice for any occasion--date night, group dinner, or even a solo treat. The quality reflects decades of experience, and the new location maintains that standard. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.
