    We had a lovely lunch at sitting at the bar! Shrimp and veggie tempura was outstanding, and Theodora's cocktails were so good.

    Chose it because in the past I enjoyed the Beef Sukiyaki. This time it was poor quality: tough meat, overcooked vegetables, unpleasant tasteless broth. Would not return.

    I had a 1:30pm rez, and arrived at 1:20pm. There was no one at the outside podium. Another group arrived and was also waiting for the outside podium person. No moa. So, I went inside to let someone know that there were a few of us waiting outside to be seated. If you have a rez, your outside person should have a timer that at least one person might be arriving 15 minutes before the appointment time - and they should at least be keeping an eye on the outside podium for the rez and any other guests that might walk-up. But this didn’t happen. I was inside for almost 5 minutes trying to figure out who was supposed to be outside, and finally found someone and was seated. As for the meal, it would have been great to have a Combination A with 3 shrimp tempura and 3 veggie tempura, instead of 2 shrimp tempura and 4 veggie tempura. The sweet potato / kalo tempura was dry. Shrimp tempura is never dry. Despite those two manini’s, the drink special at the Izakuya Bar was excellent, and I don’t remember the last time the service wasn’t above-and-beyond excellent - and I’ve been coming to Miyo’s since they were at their old location at Wailoa in 2007.

    The staff was super helpful. I was able to change my reservation count through the app and they responded promptly. The service was excellent. It's wonderful to see when a server is energetic throughout their shift. It really helps the mood of our experience.

    Every visit to Miyo's has been stellar. So thankful our rental car agent recommended. Have since been back every visit to Hilo. First time we got the plate dinners. Loved every bite. Portion was more than enough. This last trip we did Izakaya style, ordering small plates and sushi to share. Started out with the appetizer sampler... great start! Added on soft shell crab, misoyaki butterfish, ahi bowl, spicy salmon roll, hamakua mushrooms. Will definitely be back. Can't recommend this place enough for great value, delicious food, always excellent service!

    Great experience sitting in bar area. Food was excellent along with service. Ambience is a busy box in strip mall, but full of energy and Aloha. One of the best meals we had during two weeks on Hawaii. Recommend.

    I come to Miyo’s Restaurant and Izakaya Bar around 10 times a year, and the food, service, and ambiance are consistently excellent. Seeing the shower trees from the lanai is very relaxing, and it would be great if there were speakers above the lanai area someday.
