Mr Miyagi is a modern Japanese restaurant, located in Melbourne. During our 5th visit to Melbourne this year, we were recommended by our friends to go stuff our faces and so we did.
The average price range is $80 for 2 people but our bill ended up being $130 😅.

I’m starting with the cocktails because they were the highlight of the meal. We tried the salted watermelon martini, Mr. M’s frosé, and Charlie does Tokyo and we loved all three. They were all refreshing, sweet and had a unique take, like a frozen rosé? Hells yasss! 🤪
ENTRÉE
The first dish was a tempura broccoli! Yes, TEMPURA BROCCOLI! 🥦 This restaurant makes eating our vegetables taste so good. It was such a creative take on a classic, and the chef did a great job of blending the flavours.
The ramen seasoning was the perfect amount of saltiness needed on tempura. The cheese was fluffy and made each bite taste so smooth. The tempura was light, not overly floured and had a great crispy crunch. It was the best broccoli dish we have ever eaten 🤤.

The salmon nori tacos were uniquely interesting – a Mexican delight on a Japanese twist. The salmon filling was soft, rice was fluffy, and the mayo moistened each bite well, which was important because it prevented the outer seaweed taco from tasting too dry. The seaweed also had a nice, thin, crispy texture too. The only downside to the dish was how messy it was to eat 😂.
The Himalayan salt slab cured kingfish was great because I love sashimi however Mick said it was nothing spectacular. The longer we left our fish on the salt slab, the saltier it got. We recommend getting this only if you really love fish because it was $16 for 4 pieces, and this dish was all about the visuals.
MAIN COURSE
The Happy’s hand roll of the day was a very extravagant California roll. There was a lot going on and not every bite tasted the same because of the layout of the dish. The front pieces had prawn and the back pieces had roe. Even the flakes and sauce distribution were uneven so if this dish was shared with more people, it would feel like individualised experiences.
The schnitty baos were rated average by Mick (especially since he was comparing them to Belly Bao here in Sydney) but I enjoyed this dish. The bao was soft, and still a bit chewy. The chicken was well cooked and I could taste the crunchy schnitzel batter. The coleslaw really pulled the bao together.
By the time the Miyagi fried chicken came out, we were stuffed. The chicken was good but super oily. There was nothing that really stood out on this dish, unfortunately. It was plated in a takeaway box so that made it easier for us to decide what we were taking home.
SERVICE
​The vibe was lovely and well-paced, even for the busy lunch period. The servers greeted us upon arrival, accommodated to our seating preference and checked up on us regularly. Our main server was charismatic and had some very fun stories to share.
REVIEW
Overall, we would return to Mr Miyagi, especially for the tempura broccoli and the exceptional service we received.
Thanks for reading, until next time! 😊

Mr. Miyagi is one of the greatest pop culture icons. If you are not familiar with who Mr. Miyagi is, then you need to rethink your life. I mean, Karate Kid is definitely one of the most popular shows in history, there is no debating that. If you want to know more about him, then I suggest that you start binge-watching the Karate Kid films. They are not that good, but they can easily ease up the boredom you are feeling.
