Miyazaki » Melbourne Japanese Restaurant Guide

Since opening at the end of last year, Miyazaki has seen a non-stop stream of customers seeking out its affordable prices and great quality.

Of the wide range of dishes on offer, the Teriyaki Salmon Steak is a particular highlight.

The house-made, MSG-free sauce is subtle, yet has depth, and makes the most of the fresh salmon flavours.

Perhaps the house-made soy sauce (incredibly rare in itself) is key, but it doesn’t work alone. Each day, the chef gets in a super-fresh whole salmon and fillets it by hand, ensuring customers only get the best. If one dish alone is too restrictive, we suggest the Kaiseki Tasting Plate, where you can sample five beautifully-presented dishes for only $13.90.

“We started this restaurant with the objective of serving delicious Japanese food we really believed in, but instead of top-end prices, we wanted people to be able to enjoy our food every day”, says owner Nicky.

The constantly busy tables are a sure sign this philosophy has paid off.
