What People Are Saying About Miyake Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
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…

- Pros: loud

good for sake bombs, less good for fish
by ccheever
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.
- Pros: disco lights
Great food at a great price
by bw123
This place is definitely a very particular place in the Palo Alto area. Before 7:30pm, it isn't much more than just a standard japanese/sushi restaurant with a very wide menu selection. After 7:30, the restaurant goes absolutely nuts, turning the inside into a club type atomosphere complete with fog makers, laser lights, discoballs, etc. Often times, the crowds get so large there is a huge line of people waiting outside. Be advised though, if you are under 21, you have to arrive before 7:30 otherwise they will not let you in. The food here is very good. Don't expect something absolutely amazing, but for the price, it is extremely good. There is a HUGE variety of sushi that you can order as well as a decently extensive menu of other japanese food. The bento box meals are a great value since you get a very large portion of great food for just $11. Katsu dishes here are absolutely enormous too. This is definitely a place I try to go to atleast once every couple months because its such a great place to unwind with its club like atmosphere.
- Pros: Food is great, seating is prompt, service is fast, rotating sushi bar if you prefer that, etc.
- Cons: Can get extremely full if you don't get there early enough. Heavy drinking atmosphere at night might be distasteful for some
