I came here after a late movie showing for a bite to eat. The restaurant was nearly empty and energy seemed low in the staff but there were pretty friendly and attentive. The restaurant had an interesting vibe not bad, not great. The S&M maki: 6/10 this is a roll for people that don't really like sushi. Rating it a bit lower because I don't like cooked salmon in my sushi and it didn't specify that it would be. It tasted decent mainly because of the sauces giving it some flavor. Crispy chicken egg roll: 6/10 pretty dry, but I enjoyed how crispy it was and doused it with sauce. Yaki noodles: 4/10 they looked amazing but severely lacked flavor and they were supposed to be really spicy too. They had no spice and really just tasted like bland noodles with overcooked veggies. I don't think I will be returning here as the food wasn't that great but maybe the regular non reverse happy hour is better ? read more

I ordered take out for pickup and was quite satisfied with the food quality. If you plan on eating here, just know that parking is limited but has lots of street parking. For the food, the only thing I didn't love was the salad that came with the entree. It was very watery. The sushi rolls were good, and the spicy ones with jalapeños were actually spicy (I have pretty good spicy tolerance)! The cervice maki was definitely the spiciest. read more

I was excited to try their happy hour, but I am sad to report that almost everything about our experience was disappointing. I am pretty easily pleased when it comes to sushi, but this sushi was displeasing to our taste buds. The service was also glaringly bad. Our plates with various discarded shells and other trash were not taken until the very end. I kept pushing it closer to the edge of the table, and they kept ignoring it. It ended up being $70 total (with happy hour discounts) for two people for the worst sushi I've had at a restaurant. This is what we got: Citrussy maki: had to order it because of the funny name. They had large pieces of lemon and lime on the sushi, which was so upsetting and unexpected to get a mouthful of. After we realized this and picked them off, the sushi was okay to me. I thought the creamy mango yogurt was interesting and alright, while my friend did not like it. Crunch maki: this one was relatively normal and tasted fine. There was way too much tempura for the amount of sushi though. Chilango maki: definitely my favourite out of all the maki we ordered. The strawberries added a nice taste. We had to remove the jalapenos though because they did not compliment the sweetness well. Rainforest maki: this one was atrocious. The ingredients listed on the menu sounded pretty normal, but we discovered the sauce tasted awful. I don't know what kind of sauce it was, and I still forced myself to eat it, but my friend took one bite and gagged. Crab meat puff: the outer fried shell was too hard and didn't taste good, while the inside was way too creamy. Mango martini: this was really good and sweet. Seems like the drinks might be better than the food here. The server handed me a ticket for parking garage validation at the end, and I was so confused because I didn't see any signs that said we could park in the garage. The garage looked like it was a private residential garage. We had found nearby street parking, so I was also perturbed that this wasn't clearly indicated anywhere. read more

Food is delicious - I typically get the S&M maki and the New York roll! I also tried the Buffalo maki and it was good but not my favorite. service is attentive, and restaurant is clean! If you park in the garage , give the waiter your ticket & he'll give you one so parking is free read more

Service isn't the greatest. Food is good. Food: we have had several rolls, dessert and the food is great. Everything is fresh and tastes great. The sevice can be lackluster and you will wait while, even when not busy. I could give 3 star rating due to our last visit. The service was lacking but the food was good, so I'll give them four stars for now. Service definitely needs work. read more

parking: 4/5. street parking is available but spaces are few and far between. the parking garage next door is only $3/hr, which may be the cheapest i've seen in houston! ambiance: 4/5. nice, spacious place. taking off a point for the poor turtles in the "pond" in the front. that can't be good for them :( service: 4/5. hostess was super sweet! our server was fine. edamame: 5/5. it's pretty hard to mess up edamame. i like that they have flavors you can add at no additional charge! they have an "after 9pm" menu that had AMAZING deals! we ordered all of our entrees from there. they also have cocktails and house wine for just $7! big island roll: 5/5! this might be the most delicious, buttery, fresh salmon i've had in houston. only $10 on the after 9pm menu! ceviche roll: 5/5! this roll was so unique! the bell pepper that comes on top of it was a little overpowering, but you can just take it off. the cliantro cream sauce it with was DELICIOUS and i even ordered extra. $12 on the after 9pm menu. crunchy roll: 5/5! delicious and a huge amount of crunch, as you can see in my picture. $8 on the after 9pm menu. overall: 4.6/5! amazing deals for happy hour or late dinners!!! read more

Great service! HORRIBLE FOOD! Use to be really good. Was a staple in my friends and I sushi experience now not at all.

This place is one of the places that you go to get a quick sushi fix. I got the Miyako special roll and a large ginger salad. The service was really quick, and the sushi did exactly what I needed to do. It's a good deal for what you get. The service was good as well, and we got seated right away. read more

A little misleading on the menu got the seafood ramen but there was no seafood not one lick maybe I read the menu wrong. Also got the crunchy maki that was good as well as the shrimp tempura and the ramen which was good. The service could have been more attentive I do not like to wait for the condiments that come with the food while my food gets cold . The ambiance is nice low key but could have been a little bit cleaner over all. Bathroom had urine on the toilets someone needs to stay up on that. read more

Lowkey haven't written much bc I've been gatekeeping this place they have great ramen and sushi options, a great happy hour deal M-F 3-7pm. My favorite rolls are the crunchy & the NY maki. Took my mom for the first time and she loved their edemame and gyoza!! She even got a mango marg lol. Fried Oreos were undercooked, my only qualm. Please try Miyako!! read more

Miyako was such a treat to check out. I went on a weeknight and they stay open til 11. They have a late menu with pretty good options. I went with the Miyako roll and the shrimp fried rice. The roll was good but I wish it came with eel sauce. The fried rice was very good. It was like a richer takeout fried rice. The place was very polished inside. It would be a great place for a date or an intimate outing. Service was 10/10 . The wait staff was attentive. read more

Amazing food! Came here for happy hour and was not disappointed. Everything I ordered came in big portions and was very tasty. Although they closed at 11, they were kind enough to let us stay & never felt rushed once we got our food. Fish tasted fresh said their sushi dishes were a mix of savory sweet and spicy. The crunchy roll & new york maki were my favorite. Definitely will be coming back again read more

If you want quality food, service, and an amazing happy hour selection DO NOT HESITATE TO COME HERE!! Miyako is truly an amazing restaurant with a very large menu. The best part of it all is that they have reverse happy hour so anytime we want to do a late night date for some drinks or sake bombs, this is our go to spot. I've taken so many friends and family to this location in specific and they never leave disappointed. It's a staple between me and my friends. We love to dine here before a night out because it's super close and accessible to Washington Ave and not too far from Downtown bars as well. 10/10 recommend! Open till 11, too! read more

Food is decent. Service is okay. They have happy hour as well. Drinks are a hit or miss so I always keep it simple like vodka tonics or a glass of wine. The lobster roll is my favorite. It always smells like Clorox and pine sol which makes me nausea when eating. read more

What can I say disappointing! We have been coming here for years, quality of food has always been good, and if it wasn't service made up for it. Our last visit on Tuesday was not pleasant, the sushi wasn't fresh, rice was hard and cold cold as if it had been seating in a refrigerator, I do not drink anymore, but I drink water , lots of it, but I kept having to drink my wife's water, this service was during the day, only four tables. So yes bad service, we still leave a tip of 15% even though it was not deserved, but it is ridiculous that they ask for 18% tip or more, and service was horrible, my wife and I like to tip 20% or more on well served food and service. read more

Love this place for a week night sushi spot. Dependable. Delicious! One of our favorites.

Great service. Loved their happy hour menu. The kamikaze roll was . They definitely had some really good rolls on that menu.

Ahhh, Miyako! Always a favorite with me and my son. Wish there was a location in the Austin area, but I always go when in Houston. The food is always fresh and the menu is generous. The Bobby Maki is a favorite, along with others like El Pacifico and the Chilango Maki. Some of the best hand rolls here! The dining room is large and the service is prompt. Parking is now in a paid garage, but the restaurant compts the first 2 hours. Now I have a craving.... read more

Wife and I came in for a weekday lunch. They had the hamachi kama as a special that day, plus we ordered a katsudon, and some sushi & sashimi to share. The hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar) was a smaller portion, but very tasty. The akami (tuna) and sake (salmon) sashimi was ok...not great, not bad. The hamachi (yellowtail) sashimi was very good. The katsudon, however, was decidedly NOT good. The fried cutlet itself was ok, but you can taste that they probably used canned broth (definitely not dashi) to make the sauce w/egg. The worst part is they used frozen peas and carrots (the kind in the bag at the grocery store) that had MAJOR freezer burn. It was terrible. read more

Service was horrible. I've never been to a sushi place where ginger and wasabi is not served with sushi rolls. When I requested for ginger I was given a very small portion for two people. This location has gone downhill. read more

Great late night happy hour menu. $8., $10, $12. Had one from each category. Sushi was delicious and fresh. The restaurant was actually full at 10 PM in 35° weather. Server was attentive with a smile. The fried rice was OK with chicken that was dry. That's the only reason why it was a four star instead of five star. iced tea was fresh. Would recommend. Not the best or most creative sushi in town but a good option. read more

I came here with a date who had been here before. We walked in for a sunday lunch and were immediately greeted by the live turtle pond. I loved that and all the sea creature decor! We were seated right away as there wasnt much of a rush, but there were some big tables. I had called ahead to ask if they could accommodate gluten free and they said yes, they had gluten free soy sauce but modifications and options would be more challenging. It ended up not being a problem because I found plenty to eat We shared the garlic edamame to start which was very garlicky but tasty. Then the hamachili which was fresh but could have used some more orange. Finally I had the miyako special maki, a spicy tuna roll with avocado and salmon which was very good. My date had the tiger eye maki and she really liked it. The waiter was very helpful with the gluten free, making sure to check with the chef and I thought everything was fresh and well presented. read more

Way overpriced for extremely mediocre food. I got the katsudon, which came way after my boyfriend already finished eating his sushi. When I finally got it, the presentation was poor. Pieces of meat were just thrown on top of each other instead of laid nice and flat across the rice. The rice was unevenly coated with soy sauce so that there was still bits of white rice. And they clearly used frozen veggies. I can make better fried rice at home. The taste itself was just meh. Take your money elsewhere. read more

The place is located at a strip mall has its own parking, making it nice to get to. The service was really good. The servers did not want to interrupt conversations but also were attentive. I recommend getting the specials as they range between $10-12 for 6-8 rolls. read more

My friends and I used to LOVE miyako when it was on Kirby near hwy 59, but unfortunately that location closed ages ago. I'm not sure if this restaurant is same owners or completely different, but I will say it just didn't come close to the old place. The menu has a lot of the same rolls, including my old favorite S&M roll. Overall the sushi is fine and affordable, but it didn't WOW me. The atmosphere is more cafe style than classy/intimate, and service was just so so. It is a pretty big space so would be good for groups, but not sure we will come back. read more

The menu has lots of different specialty roles and plated to try. There were also a lot of pictures to look at which was awesome. I went with a large group and half of the plates came extremely quickly and the other half took much longer to arrive. I ordered the Special Maki which was one of the first to come out and it was tasty. Would definitely go again and try something different. read more
