We make it a point to eat at Miyo's whenever we're on the Big Island. Their sesame chicken dinner is excellent, as is their tempura. You're paying for the great food, not necessarily the ambience. more

We totally enjoyed our dinner here last week. Being mostly vegetarian and having had the experience of eating in small homey restaurants in Japan last year, we were excited to have fiound such a genuine place. We enjoyed the healthy soba and appreciated the excellent fresh tofu. The menu does have something for everyone, not just those of us with... more

It's a little difficult to find this simple Japanese dining room on the second floor of a commercial (pagoda-style?) building clustered with other businesses at the edge of Waiakea Pond, but well worth the search! Classic, homestyle Japanese food (donburi, tempura, sashimi) prepared only a few feet away in a tidy kitchen and served in a very pleasant open-air dining... more

Good Japanese food, one of the local favorites. Although, if you haven't ever been to Hilo, you will find it is limited in nicer dining establishments as compared to the Kona side of the Big Island. more

I love this restaurant. Sure, sometimes the servers seem a bit moody. Just get over it. Sometimes they're really friendly. But they always get the food to you, clear your dirty dishes, etc. The place is just super popular so they're a bit overwhelmed sometimes I think. Plus, sometimes the slow service reminds you to really slow down your meal,... more

Wow. I was surprised to see this fine restaurant called "filthy." This is Hawaii: its hot and open air buildings are common as they are more comfortable and the views are fantastic. If you demand a spotless dining experience then much of the finest food on the island will be lost to you- and it will be MUCH more expensive.... more

This is one of the filthiest places i have ever eaten in America..with the exception of a dump called Sheik's on Maui. To see anything worst one would have to go to a third world country. To top it off the food is extremely unhealthy, all deep fried and served with white rice. more

When you walk in to Miyo's restaurant you immediately feel like you are invited to someones home. The at home feeling is so welcoming. The service is friendly, friendly, friendly...Don't be surprised to see pilots and flight attendants there having a late supper before boarding the plane for their next flight. As my husband and I ran into ours at... more
