Miso - Stoke-on-Trent

The food at this restaurant was delicious, freshly prepared, and served in generous portions at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and attentive. It was a delightful discovery and a welcome change in Stoke.

We had the Ramen Bowls at this venue. I had the grilled chicken teriyaki and my partner had the veggie gyoza. First thing to say is both the ramen bowls were big and bigger than Wagamama bowls! The portions you get here are bigger than Wagamama portions! My grilled chicken was a generous portion and bigger than what you get at Wagamama. However, the meat was not as luscious and tender as the chicken you get at Wagamama. My partner said she liked the veggie gyoza and all the other vegetables and noodles in her bowl . I also liked all the vegetables and noodles in my bowl and I also enjoyed the tea-stained egg! We both agreed that the broth in both bowls was NOT sufficiently full of flavour and we had to add extras like chilli pepper and soy sauce to boost the flavour!! If anything the chicken broth at this venue was better than the veggie broth. The broth you get at Wagamama is better in terms of flavour and you also get pak choi in you bowl at Wagamama but not here. To sum up, the portions in the ramen bowls here are large, but we prefer quality over quantity. Our rating for this restaurant is Good but NOT Excellent. Compared with Wagamama, prices here are about the same. On balance we prefer the ramen bowls at Wagamama.

The restaurant was expensive and did not meet my expectations despite the positive reviews I had read. Perhaps it was just an off day, but after this experience, I do not plan on returning. I usually don’t write negative reviews, but I felt compelled to share my disappointment with this place. The quest for outstanding sushi continues.

This was my first time visiting the only Japanese restaurant in Stoke on Trent, and I went with my friend Caroline. The exterior of the restaurant seemed a little off-putting, but we were warmly welcomed upon entering. We started with tempura prawns and pumpkin croquettes which were both delicious and freshly made. For our main course, we both tried the bento boxes. I had the duck which was cooked perfectly, although the black bean sauce was a bit too salty for my liking. The restaurant was bustling with customers, so I would suggest making a reservation. Overall, I recommend giving this place a try as it is definitely worth a visit.

The food here was AMAZING! We had sushi, bento boxes as well as the pork ramen and it was all delicious. The area where the restaurant isn’t exactly beautiful but once you go upstairs the restaurant is really cute and the service was outstanding. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely return if we’re in the area.
