City Miyama Restaurant

This is the second time I have been to Miyama. I ordered two dishes, agedashi tofu and nabeyaki udon. The nabeyaki udon is nicely, tender, not chewy. Soup is plain in its simplicity with tempura prawn, chicken and fish. The agedashi tofu was good but overpacked slightly. All the staff are Japanese, from front of house to sushi maker - adding to the authentic atmosphere. Overall, a cosy, subdued atmosphere made the place a little haven tucked away from the busy streets of metropolitan London.

Wow, what can I say about this place other than it is possibly some of the most amazing Japanese food I’ve had in London. Tucked off in a side street from St Paul’s with most of it on a basement and sub basement level, it is fairly traditional in decor, service and dishes offered, with a large selection of sake and other beverages. The restaurant is split into two levels, with the upstairs containing a teppanyaki area and more seating downstairs, no low tables or tatami seating unfortunately. Food is on the costly side, however, you do get what you pay for, the quality is absolutely amazing and the portions are fairly generous.
