Miyavi Japanese Food — Restaurant in Perth

Review: Miyavi Japanese Food, East Perth

If you’re after a no-frills Japanese dining experience, Miyavi Japanese Food might catch your eye, but don’t expect much beyond the basics. The venue has a very casual, lunch bar vibe, but unfortunately, that relaxed atmosphere extends to the staff and cleanliness standards.

The staff weren’t particularly friendly or attentive, and the noise coming from the open kitchen made it hard to enjoy the meal. The restaurant itself felt a bit neglected, with sticky tables and even a few flying insects making an unwelcome appearance.

Staff aren't necessarily friendly *or rude, just very efficient as you may expect in a high volume, smallish venue. Always...

UPDATE: just bought chicken karaage. I was stupid to go back there, but thought maybe things have changed. They did, on worse. The chicken was raw, see the picture. Never again!

Used to buy lunch almost every week there, every single time it was great. didn't go for a couple of months, went today, only one of old staff was there, new chefs, not sure if management completely changed, but the food was below average. I usually always have chicken karaage and it takes some 15 minutes to prepare it. this time it took 5 minutes. taste was not as great as before. miso soup was luke warm... hopefully just...
