   We felt rushed. Our waitress did not give us the opportunity to finish our meals and asked 3 x to take our plates while we were still eating. Food was good.

   manager was a condescending a-hole when we asked why he refused to accept our e-gift card. cannot believe he’s in charge of customer service on a busy saturday night when he didn’t talk to my family with a shred of respect.

   What a cute place. We were 8 and we were seated at the bar. They were busy so service was slow. We had 2 that had to be somewhere. We had 1.75 hours so felt we were safe. We had to get their food to go which took longer that if we got it then made it to go. The others were 1/2 way done before the Togo came. Then no soy sauce. Such a bummer when you are in a hotel and done have access. I brought some back but that was 30-40 minutes later. Besides that. Food was really good. I'd go back!

   The food was overpriced and not very good. Our table ordered 8 different dishes and most of our party wasn't happy with the food. It was small portions and the flavor was extremely bland. The tempura vegetables and crispy tofu were good. We had high hopes as we were celebrating and no one had eaten here before...we left beyond disappointed.

    this is not just a place to have dinner - but a dining experience. I highly recommend sitting at the bar and eating itzakaya style. the chef will prepare thing right on the grill in front of you. you will not be disappointed. the chefs attention to each ingredient is amazing to watch. He took the time to tell us about the ingredients and preparation. I could watch him all day… and to top it all off… the food was umami - each bite a delight. a perfect way to spend my 50 th birthday. I will be back!

    We were sat quickly for our reservation, but forgotten shortly after. We were not greeted or check on by a waitress until after 12-15 minutes of sitting and waiting. Two groups of 4, and one group of 2 was seated shortly after us. A group of 4 was seated before us. All other waiting parties were helped before myself and my boyfriend. Although the waitress apologized for the delay it falls on deaf ears as there is no excuse or reasoning why three other tables who were seated after us were helped before us. If the reasoning is that the other parties of 4 were served first is because they had a different waitress, then the communication between the hostess and wait staff needs to be better so that everyone is aware who arrived first and who should be assisted first. We were ready to order within 5 minutes of sitting and could’ve placed our order had we been assisted in a timely manner. I was willing to spend more money on appetizers, drinks, and desserts. But due to the ridiculous wait time to have our orders taken, and feel as if we were black sheep in the restaurant having our order taken last left an extremely sour taste in my mouth. We’ve visited Miyo’s at least 2 times in the past 3 months. The wait time to have your order taken is always too long from the time you sit down. While we were eating our meal we were checked on once by our waitress, when we were nearly done with our meal. I had to ask the busser for a take out box. By the time the waitress came to ask how we were doing I gave her my card because I didn’t want to go back and forth about if we were ready or how things went and then wait for the check and wait for my payment to be processed. In this day and age, time is one of our most valuable aspects, and I wish our time was more respected. I hope that someone will contact me and help to shed light on this experience. Mahalo

    Decent for such a busy time(Valentine’s), but was rushed, 90 min suggested time to order and finish our meals. The restaurant was a bit smoky from the kitchen. Not terrible but definitely no rush to eat there again.

    Excellent flavor. I especially loved the appetizer options and watching the chefs create their dishes. I was really impressed with the professional level of service, plus a cozy yet upbeat atmosphere. I’d highly recommend if you are looking for authentic modern Japanese cuisine.

    The service was very smooth and pleasant, starting with the host. We felt very well taken care of. What we ordered from the Izakaya Menu (like the stuffed bell and shiso bites) were all prepared with great care and we enjoyed them.

    Great find— definitely popular with the locals. Really great menu options and generous portions. Traditional Japanese food and a few Hawaiian favorites thrown in. The two of us shared the appetizer sampler and the sukiyaki and it was more than enough food.

    No green tea available. Seems their usual good tea not delivered so their choice was to have none. A Japanese menu requires green tea, even if not their usual high quality brand.

    The restaurant must have been short staffed last night. And they weren't serving curries which made my husband very sad. Two of us got our drinks and then 25 minutes later the rest of the party got their drinks. No question, the food is always good. Don't know why it took so long to get us the drinks and then the soy sauce took forever but I flagged someone down to get it. We look forward to this restaurant with great anticipation when we travel to the Big Island. We've been here for Christmas 5 out of the last 9 years. We save one day to travel to Hilo to eat at Miyo's with local friends. So we will be back but here's hoping they will be ready for us next time.
