My Father-in-law took us here for lunch and it's a pretty solid AYCE restaurant for when you're feeling super hungry! It's tucked away in an outdoor shopping center but there's plenty of parking. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and sat in a cozy corner. There's tons of options from sushi, appetizers, desserts, and there's a Mongolian grill as well. For AYCE, the sushi was really good and I especially loved the roll with the kiwi on top. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. The restroom was well stocked and clean as well. Miyako is a great AYCE restaurant and I wouldn't shy away from coming back if I'm in the area again.

Excellent buffet place! Was surprised by how many people were in line. They give you a buzzer to let you know when they are ready to seat. It took about 30 minutes on a Saturday night. Inside: sushi lines the first section with sashimi, Nigiri, raw sushi, seaweed salad, etc. Flavor of the sushi was surprisingly good for a buffet. The other sections were hibachi and prepared foods, including beef and veg, pineapple chicken, which I assume is like sesame chicken and the classic crab Rangoon, eggrolls, wok noodles. I actually found the desserts to be my favorite. Their crème brûlée was on point as well as their Panna cotta. I shared a picture of the chocolate fountain because that is a fun touch. Overall, for the price point just a little bit above $30 a person I think it's a great deal and a fun occasional meal when you're looking for a variety!

Arrived at 6:05 pm. There were people waiting outside. We checked in for 5 people. The hostess said 30-35 minutes. She was right on. We sat down at 6:40. We did review the Buffett while waiting. WOw. So many options!!! Our server Ling was very kind and efficient. We used the readily available gloves to handle the tongs! The sushi was being made and continuously turning. I'm usually not a fan of buffets but this place is awesome!!! They have something for everyone. Hibachi, traditional Chinese, sushi and. OH my. Save room for a few bites of dessert. Small perfect bites ! Loved the decor and the signs reminding people that all you can eat, does not mean waste!!! Try it. If you like it- go back for more. Don't heap up on something and waste! Seems like common sense........

Raw meat in Quart of Wonton Soup

I would have given it a three but it's going to have to be a two for me....the hot food was super mediocre and so was the sushi. They're lucky that their sashimi is fantastic because besides that it was super mid. The employees were attentive and were quick which was appreciated and the ambiance was clean. The reason why I'm giving two stars is because not only did I expect more the meat in the wonton soup was raw, it totally ruined my appetite. Besides that it you're looking for a cheap buffet it isn't terrible!

I was craving Japanese buffet and I am so glad that I choose this place. I had the lunch special which is $20 per person all you can eat. The food was delicious here. Towards the left they had a hibachi area but you are not allowed to add the rice with it. Luis was the associate that served my mom and I and he was very nice. There is a lot of options in what to eat here and the dessert options were delicious as well. As for drinks my mom and I had a glass of water. Tina was the server and she was very nice. I didn't like one thing she did was to give us the check before we finished eating. I do want to go back to delicious and amazing experience. The food is soo amazing.

For the price it's decent! Wide variety of food! Wish the crab legs were warm but they were still good cold! Staff are very attentive to needs.

Very nice place , the sushi bar looked amazing. I don't eat sushi but I do eat all the other stuff. Our server was quite prompt at getting our dishes cleared. The decor and set up of this restaurant is quite interesting. The pineapple chicken was amazing. We also enjoyed the french fries and chicken nuggets. Four of us ate for about 90 dollars. With a tip , we spent 110 dollars. For 4 seniors. Everything I ate I enjoyed. Green beans, panko fried vegetables, vegetable lomein, rice noodles, pineapple chicken, teriyaki chicken, garlic fried green beans and French fries.

I have been coming to this plaza weekly now for something or other. Something that got my attention was the long lines this restaurant always has. I knew it was a place I wanted to check out. The restaurant is busy, always. The staff does a phenomenal job of keeping a good flow going. It is an all-you-can-eat type of place with a set price. I came for the sushi and the rolls. I loved the rolls here. They had great combinations and tasted great. I was happy with everything I tried. I didn't get to try the sushi because I stuffed myself with rolls. I liked how on top the staff was on arranging and replenishing the stuff. Everything looked great. The customer service was great. The waitress came around a few times. I always love it when I am checked on. I had a good experience. I am glad I stopped in.

The food was fresh. The staff were friendly. One thing I wasn't fond of was we felt rushed. The ambiance was nice.

I really enjoyed this place. The food was outstanding even the pre-cooked food like the lobster and crab, the hibachi was fantastic, and the star of the show was the sushi Island. The service and ambience are what you can expect from and all you can eat buffet. Everyone was friendly and smiling, which we all loved. The restaurant itself was very clean and very well kept! No weird fish smells! We appreciated the fact that we always had fresh food, we saw restaurants staff removing food that had sat for too long. Some other buffets should take note. The snow crab legs were cold only. We really would've loved to have had nice hot steaming crab legs. But that only cost them one half star. Maybe a small butter hot pot at the table could meet in the middle... [edit] I forgot to mention the chocolate fountain at the dessert station! Super luxurious and sure to be a hit with the kids and the kid in you. ;)

It was great to come back to Miyako after a few years of absence. The weekday lunch is now $18.99 pp and guests have 1.5 hours to enjoy the AYCE buffet. I found the flavors this time, bolder and better than last time. Maybe they have a new chef. The variety of dishes and sushi was very good and the service was attentive as well....our server picked up the plates minutes after we would set them aside. Overall a great option for fresh sushi, salads, Chinese food, Hibachi, desserts and much more...

Heather N.

so this is got to be one of the best freshest well put together all you can eat sushi/Chinese places I have ever gone to the selection is huge and since it's always busy, everything is so fresh the oysters are being shucked right in front of you so you know it's gonna be good. we went with a large party for a birthday it was 13 of us and they accommodated us. service was on point. i've been to all you can eat sushi places but this one is my favorite if you're ever in Pompano and you're looking for good seafood, sushi, Chinese even hibachi station and the best dessert definitely check this place out

See all

Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the fresh and varied buffet, good value for price, and friendly and attentive staff. The space is also clean and inviting.

Service can be improved. Lighting can be set to set a mood. Chairs could be set to the same height as the other chairs.

Crab legs for lunch?

snow crab legs are generally served during dinner and weekend sessions rather than the standard weekday lunch buffet. While the restaurant is well-known for its extensive seafood selection, premium items like crab legs are typically reserved for the… 

What is the difference between the lunch and dinner all you can eat? What Do you get on the dinner buffet that you do not get on the luncheon buffet?

They offer a few more seafood options but not a huge difference

Do you have a full bar?

No they don't have full bar

Is anything different now because of the pandemic?

Are you guys still social distancing the tables?

No, I was just there on 12/5/21. Everyone is seated next to one another at every table. There are several different rooms of tables. On the weekends this place gets so packed there's a waiting line outside.

When are crab legs served?

Every night.

Is there a difference between dinner on weekday versus weekend, except for the price? Thanks

Yes. There are offerings that they have on weekends that they don't have on weekday nights. A few I've noted from time to time are oysters, frog legs and better cuts of salmon sashimi

No such thing. There are blue crabs and stone crabs. I don't believe they had either on buffet.

What's the difference of items offered for lunch? And dinner? Do they have jellyfish salad?

Hi. Some sushi is different for dinner, and sometimes sashimi is unavailable for lunch, Oysters and clams are available for dinner. Thank you

GREAT sushi spot in Pompano/deerfield/lighthouse point area…read more We come here often and food and service is ALWAYS consistent. Great place for lunch and dinner. Today I had roll and seaweed salad (my go to) also the have Sapporo on DRAFT! Yes on draft! So I had one of those. :) Great atmosphere always full but service always amazing. 5 starts no doubt!! Thanks guys SYOY!!

This was my first visit to the Deerfield Beach location. It was a nice surprise when i walked in…read moreand saw how nicely it was decorated inside as the exterior is not as appealing. We were seated at a booth immediately and our drink orders were taken. The menu is similar to the other locations. I ordered two rolls, shrimp tempura roll w eel sauce and a JB roll. My boyfriend ordered the hibachi chicken. Our food was served quickly and we were surprised at the large portion sizes. My two rolls were great and i took home half of each. The hibachi chicken was very flavorful with the large portion of fried rice and veggies but the chicken itself was very dry. We would not order that again. I would definitely cone back and try other rolls. They had a lot of cooked rolls on the menu and a lot of take-out traffic. I would also try the Ramen. Parking was easy in the lot, the service was pleasant and the prices were very fair. It is close to home so why not!

I was looking for some sushi after a trip to the beach. You…read morewill find this little gem in an unassuming strip mall. Small quaint restaurant that was full of patrons. The service was top notch. You can tell they care about their customers. I had the Tom Kha soup with shrimp as an appetizer. I was instantly impressed with the quality of the shrimp and the flavor of the soup was on point. I have had this at other places and the shrimp typically comes overcooked and rubbery. These were large tender, juicy shrimp and cooked perfectly. The sashimi was fresh and larger than usual. The wasabi was the only let down being grainy and not mixed enough. Maybe an off day. The restaurant doesn't have a bathroom. They allowed me to use the sink in the kitchen to wash my hands. I would gladly patron this restaurant again and recommend it to anyone driving down Ocean Blvd between Deerfield and Pompano Beach.

I stayed over a friend's house and wanted to grab lunch before heading home, so I googled Thai food…read moreand came across Yamu Thai. The reviews were good, so I decided to give it a try. When I walked in, I was honestly surprised that there was no one there during lunchtime. I sat by the window, and the first thing I noticed was a dead bug on the side of the window, which was a huge turnoff. The waiter came over and took my order. I got the spring rolls and the vegetable Pad Thai with no egg. The food was actually delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. One thing that disappointed me before ordering was that I was expecting a lunch menu because that's what I saw online, but there wasn't one available when I arrived. I ended up packing the rest of my meal to go and later had it for dinner the same day. Overall, the food was very good, but because of the cleanliness issue and the disappointment with the lunch menu, I don't think I'd go back.
