I ordered the special salad with salmon. This used to be fantastic at Miyo's. I was so disappointed. The salmon had an objectionable, strong fishy smell (and I LOVE fish) and was very oily. The salad itself was nondescript with underripe tomatoes. The salad dressing was still tasty, as was the miso soup., but they are not enough to make me want to return. So sad.

For the amount of waitress and help staff I would have expected better service. They didn't bring the 2nd round of drinks for about 30 minutes and by that time we were almost done.

The service is good, friendly, and exudes local spirit. The food is very good - loved the Oyakodon personally AND the salads are overwhelming in both scope, ingredients, texture, and taste (the dressing is really ono). We were an exceptionally large party and everyone was very satisfied with their orders. The only prob we had was with the sticky floor.

Came here for Valentine's Day and it was great! Food was so delicious - I got the ribeye plate, meat was so tender although small in portion size. Their salad is so yummy - pair it with sesame chicken and you got yourself a meal! Hubby got a bento box with lots of tempura. He loved it. Love coming back to Miyo's!

We haven't been back to Miyos for many years, but thought we would try it again. it was not very busy but the service was pretty slow. The tempura was fine. The miso soup was delicious. Problem is that the appetizers didn't arrive until after we were almost done with our meal. We had the french fries we're not good at all and the cauliflower was just so so. I can't say that it was horrible but I can't say that it was really good. It's just someplace we won't go back.

Our waitress was friendly, however three of us got our food and one person got her food 10 minutes later. Our dessert was served with two of our dinner plates still on the table. We had to ask the waitress to remove them half way through eating our dessert. Not sure if she was new or just busy. The food is always great and we still will return for another meal.

If you're looking for good family-style Japanese food, then Miyo's the place. I ordered the saba plate and the fish was delicious. My husband thought the shrimp tempura was really good. The tempura that came with both plates were great. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt.

Junk! Not how use to be when was at waiakea villas! Salad dressing not the same & it was my fave!

The worst experience at this restaurant. The food was terrible. Squid tempura was all batter. Shrimp tempura was so limp it was draped aver the plate. The dressing from the salad flooded the plate and the sesame chicken was dry. They've done so many nice improvements to the look of the restaurant. A lot of attention needs to be given to the food. After all, that is what we came for.
Ordered take out since an old timer recommended this place as I was visiting from Oahu. I got the bento with 2 choices which I choose fried tofu and seaseme chicken. Both was ono and tender. This is winnahs. I was totally full and content and had kanak attack.

We are regulars here so we know Miyos. The wait for food was exceptionally long with no reason given. Shrimp Ramen was a special but seemed to be non Ramen noodles in a non Ramen broth. We were a bit disappointed.

We loved our first meal so much- at the bar where we could watch the prep by the skilled chefs Calvin and oh I'm sorry to have forgotten the other chef's name— that we came back the very next night with a friend to sit admiringly at the very same seats. We had to leave town or we'd be back in the same place eating their wonderful food!

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. I had the smoked game hen which was on the specials list and it was delicious as good as any San Francisco or New York restaurant. All the appetizers and entrees were very good. A delight.

Great food and I have been coming here for years. It never disappoints. I also love the friendly service but it does tend to get busy!
