Miyake occupies 468 Fore Street in the Old Port, operating alongside its sister restaurant Pai Men Miyake under the same restaurant group but keeping its own identity as a dedicated Japanese dining room rather than a noodle-shop format.
Regulars come back for fresh, high-quality fish and a menu that extends well past sushi, backed by service and a kitchen that keep loyal customers returning. The room reads as a neighborhood fixture rather than a novelty stop.
The restaurant's chef was named a James Beard Foundation Best Chef finalist in 2015 and semifinalist in 2014, and Portland Press Herald named Miyake among the city's best restaurants in its 2025 city magazine list.
