“We were wandering around Melbourne CBD looking for somewhere to eat when we spotted a small sign for Izakaya Miyazaki leading down into a basement off Russell Street... it feels like a proper Tokyo-style izakaya.”Jessa M.
“Also had a couple Yakitori skewers which were incredible. The smoke and char from the grill worked its magic... The sukiyaki set itself is the best one I've had in Melbourne.”Karam D.
“The atmosphere was warm and authentic, making it feel like a hidden gem in the heart of Melbourne. The Miyazaki Wagyu was incredibly tender and full of flavour, and the sashimi was exceptionally fresh.”Qiuyuan X.
