Miyako Japanese Restaurant, Capitola CA

Our first visit, the service was decent and the food was delicious. Most items were served quickly although the lion roll took quite a long time after everything else was served, even though the restaurant was relatively empty. I visit again

Treated my brother to dinner for his birthday. This was a great spot with outstanding service and delicious sushi. Also the tempura green tea ice cream was the best!

We enjoyed the atmosphere. There was a calming ocean view on both televisions instead of noisy sports. The chirashi dinner was excellent and the jalapeño appetizer was really good. The staff was very polite and attentive.

Ordered Lion King Sushi Roll, salmon teriyaki bento box with veggies tempura, and udon noodle soup; ALL were of excellent quality.
Service staff is not attentive.
Good spot for everyday japanese food influenced by CA tastes.

Excellent dining experience! Food was fresh and quickly prepared. Beautifully presented. Wish we lived closer. Would definitely come every week!

It’s a new favorite of mine. My mom and I both got the Chirashi Special, and we tried the Hamachi Kama this evening. The chirashi is so delicious. Presentation is nice and the fish is really fresh. The meal came with miso soup and salad. The dressing for the salad is sesame based and (I believe) not made with mayonnaise. I really enjoyed it. And the edamame is complimentary.

I would drive 3,000 miles (and nearly did when I moved away) for this sushi. It's consistently excellent, fresh and the people that operate and work there are always so pleasant. During covid it's the only place we've been getting takeout because we trust it.
Highly recommend

The food and service were beyond my expectations. We really loved the vibes of this place. Nice place to take my family out for lunch.

I visit this lovely spot a lot! This is my favorite place to grab a bite. I visit this spot many times. The cooking is fantastic, the staff members are courteous and the prices are reasonable. I enjoy being in this spot over a tasty dinner.

The wait staff was nice. The young white girl who was not our waitress was particularly kind & helpful. The sushi chef said goodbye as we departed which is always a warming gesture. On the down side, the sushi rolls seemed wet. It was weird and affected all 3 of our rolls.

They haven’t disappointed me and they treat me very kindly not once have they taken to long on my order and always make sure if anything is alright

Been before w better results.this time service was slow, partners meal came 5 min after mine, food was ok.may not try again

Excellent location for quality japanese food.a favorite evening place of mine.i'll return family next time.prices are reasonable.feels like a place in charlotte that i enjoyed visiting.

This really is one of the best sushi places in the Santa Cruz area, sticking to a more traditional approach, without diverging into new-age 'fusion' nonsense too much. You can easily personalize your order of course, if you like. We've been coming here for 15+ years, it's very kid-friendly, and the owners are super nice. One small ding might be turnover rate in serving staff, yet staff is always on top of things and very courteous, so are hired/trained well. So, after all these years, in our household, 'sushi' is still synonymous with 'Miyako'!

There is no better Sushi in Santa Cruz County. I would eat there more often if I could afford it!
