    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.

    Real food, delicious and consistent. I’ve enjoyed food at Miyo’s for decades. Always good, never disappointing. Mainland guests were super happy with Miyo’s after a long journey. Service was great! Mahalo & Arigato, :-D

    Excellent dinner, everyone enjoyed their meal. Star of the show for me was the butterfish special. For some reason the floor was super sticky like they mop with Coke.

    Miyo’s is obviously a favorite with the locals in Hilo. It is located in an unassuming strip mall, but fills the tables even on weekdays. The bartender went above and beyond to concoct a lovely mocktail that wasn’t on the menu based on my preferred flavor profile since I was driving. We tried dishes from both the kitchens and food was delicious. The kale mushroom salad was excellent and the chef’s special chimichurri teriyaki steak is a must try!
