Bites We Like
Miyake's is probably best known for its variety of local specials: the Cupertino Roll (white tuna, avocado, and tobiko); the San Jose Roll (white tuna, tobiko, and green onions); and a more recent addition, the spicy Chelsea Roll, in honor of the "First" offspring who joined Stanford's Freshman class a couple years back. Where else would you expect to see an Apple Roll (tuna), an IBM Roll (unagi), or an HP Roll (white tuna)?

Atmosphere
The swift-footed Miyake staff greets you with a holler, seats you with a holler, and doesn't stop hollering until you're paid up and out the door. Dinner can often be an even more boisterous affair, with coeds propped Tijuana-style on top of the tables, tossing back sake bombs in exchange for triumphant cheers from the crowd.

The Crowd
Frequented mainly by Stanford students and the local Palo Alto khaki-clad business crowd.

This place is usually packed with Stanford kids doing Sake bombs. If you're in the mood for that, then you should definitely go here. Otherwise, Kan Pai has better fish. That said, if you've decided you're definitely staying on University Ave., then its a better bet than Sushi Tomo.

Miyake is our favorite spot for great tasting sushi at reasonable prices. It is near Stanford and in the heart of Palo Alto which provides great atmosphere reminiscent of a wild fraternity house at times. Sake bombs are a must, and must be consumed while standing on your chair to the delight of the other patrons. My personal favorites are their soft shelled crab, hamachi, kani, and saba. Don't forget generous helpings of wasabe in your soy sauce. Enjoy!
