It's been yeeeeears since I've come to Miyako and I was hoping it was still as good. At arrival, we were ready to turn back. The restaurant has not been kept up with; it smelled horrible upon walking in and it just felt like it hasn't ever been renovated. Even the menus were sticky and dirty. HOWEVER, service was still very helpful, kind and every staff member was helpful (not just our server). And the food?? AMAZING! Pictures speak for themselves because everything came out meticulous. Flavors were amazing, sushi was amazing as always (even my husband who doesn't usually like "raw" food tore all those dishes up!). Pricing is pretty average for where we're at now in 2026. They also gave us a menu with prices specifically for Saturday and Sunday (not sure if they were discounted but our rolls came out to $10-$12). 10000% will be back. Just gotta get past the smell at the front and griminess. read more

Happy your options for sushi are plenty but not great. We didn't end up choosing anything from the happy hour menu cuz they either had cream cheese or something fried. We did opt for the sashimi lover app, and it was sooo good. Super fresh. Highly recommend the miyako special maki!! Our waitress was super kind, friendly, and patient. read more

Miyako is a staple in Houston for so many years. I miss the days of Miyako Bucks. Sushi is always delicious and fresh. Love their kitchen food as well. We ordered the Garlic Edamame, Beef Sashimi, and Pork Pan Fried Gyozas as appetizers. Then the New York Maki, S & M Maki, Crunchy Maki and Chilago Maki. Service is good and attentive for ice tea refills. Miss the days with the traditional seating called Zashiki, featuring low tables on tatami mats, providing an intimate, traditional feel, but require removing shoes. Miyako has since removed this type of seating. Still a great place for Japanese food. read more

I've lived in Houston since 1999. This was the first restaurant I dined in as I lived right down the street. Miyako is still one of my favorite places to eat. Always solid and delicious. Still go at least once a month. Bringing the kids and family growing another generation of sushi lovers. Service has always been fair some years better than others. Ambiance has improved over the years as well. This place hustles more than it used to which I love to see. Absolutely a personal favorite! read more

Omg the food at Miyako is delicious, i usually get their Shrimp yaki ramen bowl and i order extra sauce, can't remember the name. I look forward to visiting again! Their menu is very affordable. read more

This is a big restaurant with plenty of seating indoor only. My party came during lunch and it wasn't crowded. We got a table immediately. There were so many options to choose from the menu. There was a limited happy hour menu too whole every Saturday and Sunday. Some food we ordered were tiger eye maki, crunchy maki, kamikaze maki, s & m maki, Mardi Gras maki, Miyako special maki, scallop nigiri, and unagi nigiri. We also had the happy hour drinks; son of a peach, lemon drop, candy crush, and water my melon. All our rolls were great. We had no complaints, only praises for the delicious food. The drinks were good too but mine weren't strong enough. My drinks tasted kinda watered down. We received excellent service today. Our waitress kept checking on us, and she serviced with a smile. Parking isn't an issue here since there is a big parking lot at the front. There is additional parking at the back of the strip mall too. I will come back again. read more

I tried the ginger rice at Miyako, and it was cooked to perfection. The rice was fragrant, flavorful, and had just the right balance of ginger without being overpowering. Every bite was warm, comforting, and clearly made with care. Simple, but executed flawlessly--definitely a dish I'd come back for. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here with fellow yelpers! We ordered a spread of sushi and it did not disappoint! They gave us a special Saturday and Sunday menu that was more like a happy hour menu, which had great prices! They had some creative cocktails - I ordered Water My Melon. It was sweet and tart and I could taste the strawberry flavor more than the watermelon! I specifically ordered the Miyako Special roll. I like rolls that are more on the plain side and this fit the bill. It was made with tuna, salmon and avocado. That was delicious along with the crispy tuna roll from the regular menu. I had this at another restaurant but this one was completely fried so that it was super crunchy on the outside. Sooo delicious! The other roll I tried was the S & M Maki. Also very good! I only ate one of those but wanted more! The sushi here is delicious and I love the variety of the happy hour menu. We stayed for a few hours and the staff was super friendly, continuing to check on us to make sure we were ok the entire time. Definitely coming back! read more

Miyako Sushi was absolutely amazing! I had tempura vegetables, chicken don't soup, mussels in half-shell roll, and S&M maki. Everything was so fresh the tempura was perfectly crispy, the S&M maki was flavorful and expertly rolled, and the mussels in half hell roll was incredible. Every bite was a delight. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality sushi in Houston! read more

I was definitely a little disappointed. The food was just okay. The portion sizes are very generous for the price which is a plus, but the food was definitely lacking a little flavor. Everything came to the table super fast and our server was very friendly and attentive. The table we sat at was a little sticky from the last customer and the overall cleanliness was a little underwhelming. Not a horrible overall experience, but I definitely might shop around for a different sushi place. read more

Miyako - Absolutely Delicious Sushi.... - Japanese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Definitely, one of the best Japanese Cuisine restaurants to dine-in, in the Houston area. Cleanliness = check Ambiance = check Food =One menu item form me was a little misleading in the naming. For instance the name of the Cauliflower dish could be bettered suited as Fried Cauliflower instead of Cauliflower fries, you be the judge by the pic. Service, gets a deduction on this visit. Here's why it's important to know your dishes and remember when a guest says they eat vegan. Having to send dishes back because of the ingredients can be a little disheartening and takes away from that first prepared delivery of the dish for a do-over. However the food is always great, I just hope to see more vegan options on the menu, upon my next visit. Unless, I find better fried rice, they are stuck with me. Until next time, Bye-Bye! read more

Great selection of sushi rolls and their Chipotle edamame is Always receive great customer service. Highly recommend!

I was there for lunch. I saw a reasonably priced seafood ramen for $10. The salmon based broth has noodles, seaweed, a half boiled egg and other items. Two tempura shrimp accompanied the soup. I wasn't crazy about the soup flavor. The noodles were doughy. While I'm not an expert on ramen, I believe I've had better flavors. read more

Food was great we went during happy hour at around 9pm and we got el Pacifico and a pineapple mojito and it was great! I understand it was happy hour so it was busy but it took them at least 15 min to even get our drinks even though she was right next to us. read more

Came here for the late night happy hour from 9- close. Try the chicken karaage. Definitely one of my favorite appetizers. I also tried the Tsunami maki and the el Pacifico maki. Both were pretty good. The tsunami has a strong sardine taste tho, so avoid it if you don't like sardines. I also tried the sake bomb with Sapporo beer and the mango fever. Both were kinda weak, but the cocktail tasted good. Also my waiter was awesome. He checked on me often and gave great recommendations. The booths are nice and spacious. Parking is shared with other businesses, so the number of spots is limited. Lot is also very small so sometimes hard to drive through when other cars are around. read more

I've been to Miyako a few times but this time really made me come to the conclusion that I'm just not a fan. I ordered the crab puffs and I did not enjoy it. While it was fresh and hot, it just did not taste authentic. Same with the fried rice, It lacked flavor in the proteins and overall rice. I ordered the lobster sushi roll and again it was not giving quality authentic sushi and the sauce that came with it was terrible. The presentation was cute though. The only thing that I thought was delicious were the wings! They were the bomb.com but it was like on a secret menu or something. I hear they have a decent happy hour so maybe people come here for that and enjoy it but me not so much read more

They have a nice happy hour, but I don't think I would come outside of that. The place is clean and there wasn't a wait when we got there. The service on drinks and food were both slow. We had a medium sized group, and they consistently forgot drink and food orders. One person in our group never got anything they ordered. Everything I tried was tasty but pretty average. The cocktails are strong so be careful lol. Some of the staff were friendly while the others were not. Our tables never got cleaned off throughout dining, which made for a mess given that there were lots of small plates ordered. Once huge turnoff was at checkout. When we received our ticket there was an auto gratuity there (which was fine for the group size) however, they had changed the gratuity from the 18% on the menu to 23% without letting us know. When we brought it up to the manager, she changed it back to 18%. Just be aware of that! Overall nice place for happy hour! read more

4.4 rating. at the lunchtime, Bento box variety shared, and the sushi was very good.Definitely above average. The udon was also very clear. Flavorful and noodles were soft. We ordered the calamari that was fried as an appetizer. It was huge and excellent in this category. read more

Miyako's is always a hit, but make sure you have reservations or you will be waiting. It's a tight lot so trying to find parking is always the downfall when trying to dine here.
