Miji Bar & Grill: Not Your Average Japanese Izakaya

North Sydney gets a taste of Tokyo with Miji Bar & Grill, a vibrant Japanese Izakaya, with self-serve cocktails and top-tier service

Nestled on a prime corner along Miller Street, Miji’s neon-lit exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows offer an irresistible invitation to step inside. More than just a restaurant, Miji brings the essence of Japan’s Izakaya culture to life, combining mouthwatering grilled seafood, fine sake, and an electric atmosphere.

At the helm of this dynamic eatery is Head Chef Jacob Lee, whose impressive culinary journey spans from New York to South Korea. Lee’s experience includes working at Michelin-starred restaurants, perfecting the art of traditional flavours while infusing creative twists into each dish. “Diners can expect a menu that focuses on the basics done properly, elevated with a creative twist,” Lee explains. Signature dishes like Rainbow Trout, Kingfish Crudo, and Kanimiso Okonomi promise to tantalize the taste buds with expertly crafted flavors.

But Miji isn’t just about the food—it’s about the full experience. The restaurant offers a unique self-serve wine bar, allowing guests to pour their own drinks using a pre-paid membership card. Stocked with 24 different wines, sakes, and mocktails, each drink is priced at just $10. With Responsible Service of Alcohol-trained staff overseeing the experience, Miji ensures a seamless balance of fun and responsibility. Guests can grab a quick drink at the bar or settle in for an immersive dining experience, just like in Tokyo’s bustling Izakayas.

Beyond its exceptional cuisine and drink offerings, Miji prides itself on outstanding service and an atmosphere that’s both lively and inviting. From the authentic Japanese signage and replica Shinjuku Arch to the thoughtful attention to detail, every element of the restaurant is designed to transport diners straight to Japan. “Every detail, big and small, matters at Miji,” says Lee. “We want people to leave feeling like they’ve experienced something new and exciting.”

Whether you’re an office worker grabbing a late-night bite, a group of friends looking for a vibrant spot to unwind, or a family eager to enjoy an exciting dinner, Miji Bar & Grill delivers an unforgettable culinary journey. Miji welcomes you to experience North Sydney’s newest hotspot for exceptional Japanese dining.
