About Miyama Japanese Kitchen Newtown

Miyama delivers generous bowls of ramen, fresh sashimi, and hearty bento boxes at prices rarely seen along King Street. The compact dining room hums with weekday lunch specials and unpretentious evening dinners—made even better with their BYO policy. Chicken katsu curries and unagi don arrive over heaped mounds of short-grain rice, alongside crisp chicken karaage and agedashi tofu soaking in dashi. For stir-fries, the kitchen simmers its housemade teriyaki sauce for over twenty-four hours to achieve deep richness without harsh saltiness.

  • Casual BYO Dining: Guests can bring their own beverages to pair with hefty sushi platters and comfort bowls in the cozy dining space.
  • Slow-Simmered Sauces: The kitchen simmers its signature teriyaki sauce for over a full day in-house to achieve balanced depth.
  • Value-Packed Lunch Sets: Midday combos like crisp chicken karaage sets and ramen offer substantial portions at student-friendly prices.

Generous, hearty Japanese comfort classics favored by locals

  • Chicken Karaage Set

    I opted for the chicken karaage set, which was $15 (inclu. 2% card surcharge), and came with miso soup, salad, and agedashi tofu. The chicken was crunchy and juicy, and the coating of the tofu was crisp, which absorbed the flavourful dashi.
