Izakaya Miyo

Im from kona and loved everything about Miyo’s restaurant from food, service and ambience! I sat at izakaya bar had the oyako Don with miso, and a bottle of mio sparkling sake. I need to try everything on the menu. It all looked so good. Looking forward to some sushi next visit. The servers , and bartenders were awesome! I couldn’t get over how big the portion of my food was. I was 4 bites in and had to pack it up to go so I wouldn’t get back to kona too late. Then I literally just wanted to kick myself so hard ! I got back to kona and realized I forgot to grab my food😭. It was literally the whole meal. But I’m glad 😌 got a bit of it 🥹 Mahalo to the staff! You are all so awesome and highly recommend any one in Hilo to go and eat Miyos! I’ve been sending so many people there but today was a first for me and it did not disappoint! And even though I put up to 10 min wait , i was there right when they opened and was behind to bigger parties. It was fast though and the host/server was super kind. Reservations not required, but I recommend reservations just in case cause they are that good!

Food was great, easy to find parking. I personally love the Izakaya side where the Bar is. Loved the Fried tofu, deep fried scallops, crispy rice, deep fried oysters. The tartar sauce is ono. There's a lot of regulars that come here, the staff seems to know them all by name. Staff is friendly. Oh and their cocktails are awesome too.🍸🍹 Also had to mention they use high quality meats and seafood. If they can't get good quality they won't serve it....I appreciate that type of pride in an establishment. Always love coming here every time we fly in from Oahu. They change the menu every now and then so it keeps it interesting, and they keep their amazing staples like the egg toast 😋

The Soft Shell Crab was decent, but the rest of the meal was a massive disappointment for the price. ​Traditional Shabu-shabu and Sukiyaki should feature paper-thin beef. Instead, we were served thick chunks of beef that felt like they belonged in a cheap bowl of soy sauce beef udon. For a restaurant at this high price point, the execution is simply not there. In any other major city with a competitive food scene, this place wouldn't last two months. Overpriced and underwhelming.

Very kind of them to accommodate our party of 10 during a busy time (Merrie Monarch). The Seafood Yosenabe Hot Pot has a substantial amount of Seafood with wonderful flavors. Included Ponzu sauce and rice.

This is my all time favorite when visiting Hilo! In fact I'll drive from Kona to Hilo just to eat there! The Food is top notch, excellent customer service and atmosphere and competitively priced.

Great local spot with some ono food options. I especially love their combination plates — perfect for someone like me who can never pick just one dish. You get to sample a bit of everything, and it’s always delicious. The cocktails are tasty too, which makes it an easy go to place whenever friends or family come to visit and want to taste a variety of Hawai’i foods. Definitely a staple in the area!

Ah! Came here for lunch with my partner and it was so so good! They don't even offer fork and knife (you have to ask for them i think), because they gave us chopsticks! That was a first for me and it shows how authentic and good this food is! 😋
