    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!

    Excellent service, good food, and noticed that a couple other groups of friends were there that evening and they had good experiences at Miyo’s too.

    In general everyone is nice and works hard to be sure we are getting the best service and our food is hot when it get to you . Hi top bar worker (who makes the sushi greets us by our name you don’t see that in other restaurants. Sorry Brother I don’t remember his name 🫢 we always have a great experience, even if we came in crumbling with each other we always enjoy our selfs at the end of the night . Thanks to everyone who always makes our visit returnable.
