Best sushi in the entire city, bar none. This is coming from someone that grew up hating sushi. I tried it here once and now I can't get enough of it.

A disclaimer: I don't eat sushi. I want to try it one day...but I'm not there yet, lol. And sushi very much seems to be the "thing" to get here. So this review is for non-sushi items.So. This was the birthday dinner spot of choice for one of my friends a few weeks ago. She invited us (me + husband) and about 6 other people. I think there were about 10 of us there in total. My pal made the reservation in advance and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. They were pretty busy on a weekend evening so I'm glad she made the reservation since our party was so large.Parking was a paaaaain. They share a lot with a motel and a bar and all the interconnected lots are both tight/hard to maneuver and are also showing signs of age with some bumpiness and potholes. We finally parked closer to the motel and walked over.The interior of the restaurant seemed clean. The menus were pretty extensive and I had a hard time selecting what I wanted. Eventually everyone arrived and I had to make a call. Wound up with an order of gyoza as an appetizer and then the beef hibachi entree for myself. Since it was a birthday party, I also got a glass of Riesling. I was surprised, but pleased, to find a Riesling at a Japanese restaurant, since half the time I can't find one at American restaurants, but it was a pleasant find! I enjoyed the wine, too, though I'm hardly a connoisseur. Husband got a pork katsu dinner box, iirc.Our dinners were fairly slow to come out and, perhaps more frustratingly than that, they were brought out at different times. Those of us who ordered hot food / non-sushi were served much before those who got sushi. I assume they were backed up on sushi prep since that's what most people seem to order, but I felt bad chowing down on my meal before it got cold while others waited another 10 minutes or more to be served.The food was okay! The best thing to me was the gyoza. Nice chewy dumplings with savory dipping sauce. I didn't have room for the typical salad with ginger dressing but I did manage a few spoonfuls of miso soup. It wasn't the best miso I've had in town but it was alright. The steak in my hibachi bowl was a little on the tough side, but the fried rice was cooked well and so were the veggies. Say what you will about yum yum sauce, but I personally love it, and Miyako's was tasty. Sling some of that on the steak and rice and you can't be too unhappy!I don't recall husband saying much about his dinner other than agreeing with me that it was just okay for him. His meal came with sushi, I think, and he didn't comment on it, but they weren't speciality rolls so I'm still not sure we can really judge.The birthday girl seemed happy with her sushi dinner, and that's absolutely what matters most. Perhaps I'll return when I've developed a taste for the dish in the future!

We had a wonderful experience at Miyako, our server was helpful and attentive, giving us space until she noticed we were ready and gave recommendations based on our likes.We ordered two Long Island specialty rolls and a Spicy Tuna Salad, which was more than enough for my husband and I. She even tried to warn us it was a lot of food, we pushed through and finished!

The tempura scallops were wonderful, and the lunch box dinners were very good.Service was attentive and friendly.
Miyako's Japanese restaurant left a lasting impression with its exceptional sushi and miso dishes. The sushi was incredibly fresh, each piece a symphony of flavors that showcased the chef's skill and dedication to quality ingredients. The miso soup, a comforting classic, was a delightful balance of rich broth and perfectly softened tofu. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was evident, making the dining experience truly memorable. The atmosphere complemented the dining experience, creating a warm and inviting setting. The staff's attentiveness added to the overall positive impression, ensuring a delightful visit. I highly recommend Miyako's for anyone seeking an authentic and satisfying Japanese culinary experience.

This is my entire extended family's sushi place. It's consistently good sushi and dishes. I've never had to wait for a seat despite being busy, or wait long for food and the staff is always friendly. Easily the best place in Huntsville for sushi.
