Sizzling Seafood Plate
Judy P.

Delicious food for a reasonable price! I originally wanted to take my spouse out to a romantic ocean view dinner but we opted to eat at Miyazaki instead. All I got to say is NO REGRETS! We ordered a roll, a hand roll, a bento box, a sizzling steak platter, iced tea and tempura ice cream.. $98! I don't know about you, but that was very satisfying knowing I didn't have to spend over $300 for one entree and one side. 5 stars also for service. They didn't rush us to eat or anything but somehow we were in and out in less than an hour!

First time in Hawaii and this was also our first meal here. It's been raining so we just wanted something quick. I quickly glanced at the reviews and it had a lot of 5 stars so I gave it a try. I thought the sushi and sashimi was just okay. I've definitely had better and more fresh sushi and sashimi. I was actually a little nervous to eat the uni because the color seemed a little dull. Usually for fresh uni, the color is a brighter orange. Some of the nigiri pieces were still pretty good. It's a small little place with a couple of tables. Service was good. Our bill with tip for a family of 5 came out to be about $400. A little steep. Maybe this is standard pricing in Hawaii? Not sure. Overall, food is alright and decent, but I don't agree with all the 5 star reviews. I did like that they had a kids menu though.

Made reservations here on our last night on Big Island. Very quaint place for a nice dinner out. The vibe is warm and you're met with a great smile by the staff when arriving. The food we got were also really good. Didn't take a picture but we also got the pork bun, shishito peppers and VIP roll. All were pretty fire, I can see myself ordering it again. Overall, this place is a really good stop for sushi amongst all the restaurants here in Kona. They're pretty new and only been in business for a few months but I can tell they're here to stay!

This is a hidden gem, easy to find, easy parking right in the front. You have a choice of outdoor or indoor dining. Indoors there are about 6 tables that seat a party of four, one booth for six people, and counter space - about six seats for a total of about 35+ seats inside the restuarant. We ordered a tofu salad, sashimi sampler, unagi don, and a yummy sparkling peach drink. The other customers in the restaurant mostly ordered sushi - all of the rolls looked great! Soft tofu salad was excellent with a creamy dressing that was light, citrusy and flavorful. Perfect for a hot day or if you want something refreshing. Sashimi sampler was superb! For $30, you get three slices: one each of salmon, hamachi, and maguro sashimi x 4 in a chef choice of flavors and sauce. Flavor 1: dill aioli - creamy, a little heavy and drowned out the flavor of the fish. My least fav. Flavor 2: sweet chili sauce with shreds of chili pepper - it was good, but nothing special. Flavor 3: garlic sauce - light and flavorful, delicious and tasty Flavor 4- yuzu and truffle oil!!!! Wow!! That was my fav! I wouldn't let the staff remove the dish even when I finished the fish as I ate the other slices of sashimi in that sauce! Winner! Unagi don was ok, and the sparkling peach was spot on for a drink at the end of the day. Service was great, attentive and cheerfully greeted when we entered. We'll be back the next time we're in Kona!

I wish I could give this place 100 stars. I am a sushi lover, but this place blows every place I've ever been to out of the water! Our server Lily was the SWEETEST! The food was outstanding. I will forever dream about this meal. My husband and I will fly back to the big island just for this place. If you are here do yourself a favor and book a reservation, they do get busy but 10000% worth the wait!

Sushi taco are awesome

Amazing service , Japanese fusion and IZAKAYA style . Great starter Manu also they use JAPANESE RICE THATS FROM JAPAN " THATS makes huge difference!! Chef are great experience

Kim S.

We had such a great dining experience here. The food was amazing, and we're really glad we decided to stop by. We came right when they opened, which worked out perfectly. We ordered Step to Heaven, Ankimo, sizzling steak, and a selection of sushi. Everything was delicious, but the sushi really stood out, super fresh and memorable. The steak was also incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our server was fantastic, she made sure everyone had a great time. You can tell this spot is going to do really well in Kona. I'd definitely recommend checking it out now before it gets hard to book a table. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the sushi menu!

We tried Miyazaki in Kona last night for a pre-Valentine's dinner and it was absolutely amazing! So excited to have a new Japanese restaurant of this quality here on the Big Island. We started with sushi and Sashimi, king salmon, hamachi and the uni was incredibly fresh, rich, and buttery, and the scallop nigiri melted in your mouth. Beautiful presentation and perfectly seasoned rice. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The sizzling seafood entrée was another highlight served hot on a cast iron plate with tender squid, zucchini, onions, and colorful bell peppers in a flavorful sauce. It came out steaming and smelled incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor. One of my favorite dishes of the night was the carpaccio scallop appetizer. It was plated so beautifully with a light creamy sauce and fresh greens, almost too pretty to eat. The scallops were fresh and very delicate. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the night. The sushi chef even came out to our table to check on us and ask how everything was such a nice personal touch that made the experience even more special. If you're looking for a great spot for date night or a special occasion in Kona, I highly recommend Miyazaki. We'll definitely be back!

It is great sushi restaurant, I think this is one of the top sushi spots on the island! The sashimi was incredibly fresh and high quality--you can really taste the difference. The wagyu beef roll was absolutely beyond, rich and perfectly balanced. Moreover, the soy sauce feel so rich flavored, and when I asked actually they have homemade soy sauce. I also loved the double hamachi roll, super flavorful and fresh. On top of that, the servers were very kind and attentive. Highly recommend

4.7 rounded upwards Visiting from California Area and my wife is from Japan--the sushi on the rolls were fresh not from frozen. The Alaska roll w salmon w fish eggs on top was flavorful The agedashi tofu appetizer was in a soupy bowl unlike what we have had before and unique The highlight was the appetizer Saikyo Yaki Kanpachi which was miso marinated fish baked w the pink radish your supposed to chew off base to flavor it. Took little longer to make and last to be served but worth it and first of its kind I have ever had We went to KTA grocery store within few min drive which is an Asian grocery store filled with happiness and modestly large to get snacks afterwards!

Miyazaki is hands-down the best sushi spot in Kailua-Kona right now. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place takes pride in what they do. The fish is incredibly fresh, the presentation is clean and intentional, and every bite tastes like it was crafted by people who truly care about quality. The ingredients and seafood are second to none -- you can taste the difference immediately. Nothing feels rushed or mass-produced; everything is thoughtful and dialed in. And the sushi taco? Absolute must-order. It's creative, perfectly balanced, and one of those items you'll keep thinking about after you leave. What makes this place even more special is that it's owned and run by a beautiful young family who clearly pour their heart into the restaurant and the experience they give every customer. The staff is inviting, genuine, and truly friendly -- the kind of service that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. There's also convenient parking available in both the front and rear of the restaurant, which makes stopping in easy whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. If you're serious about sushi and want top-tier quality in Kona, Miyazaki sets the bar. Five stars without hesitation!

We came as a party of 10 so we were able to sit in the back in a little alcove. First glance at the menu and I was impressed. We ended up ordering couple sashimi and sushi platters to share. I ended up getting a combo plate with pork ton katsu and shrimp & veggie tempura. First off the service was great. With a big party, our waitress was very attentive to our needs and very patient. Now on to the food. Sashimi was so fresh and delicious. Sushi was also great! My plate was top notch. Everything came out piping hot and so crispy. Pork Ton Katsu was the perfect thickness and their katsu sauce was on point. Tempura was also great. Batter wasn't too thick and very light along with the tempura sauce. I definitely would go back and try their other dishes. Go check them out! Worth every penny!

Within 20 minutes, there were groups of patrons waiting for a table. It got really crowded inside. We ordered sashimi (came with hamachi, salmon, tuna), New York strip kushiyaki, and the black cod. The beef tasted very high quality, and the fish was so fresh. The sashimi pieces were quite generous too. The black cod is slightly on the sweeter side for me but still enjoyable and so melt-in-your mouth tender. The staff was very busy, and they looked understaffed. The space is a bit small, so it can fill up quickly. It's definitely worth trying though! High quality food without the high prices. Glad we were able to make it here during our vacation.

We also had beef and foie gras gyoza, radish salad, local fresh catch and a land dish which I think was the tenderloin. I think for dessert maybe I had the coconut lime panna cotta?

Congratulations, Chef! We were also celebrating my oldest son's 9th birthday, making the evening extra special. CanoeHouse is situated in the Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection hotel, tucked in a coastal oasis 15 minutes north of Waikoloa. From the main lobby, head straight down the stairs and make a right. Restaurant will cover valet but please don't forget to tip your driver. For apps, we chose the Radish salad per our server Dianne's recommendation. The wasabi aioli elevated the flavor profile of the salad, complimenting the crunchy radish noodles and furikake garnish. For our entree selection, the husband and I crafted our own "surf and turf" medley, combining their Kona Kampachi with Prime Tenderloin. The Kona Kampachi held a beautiful moisture to tenderness ratio, infusing the coconut ginger drizzle with the amberjack's natural flavor. The Tenderloin was treated to a perigord Demi-glace- Madeira wine and truffles- a marriage that can turn any ordinary steak guest into a tuxedo show stopper. Entrees are à la carte, so we selected the garlic fried rice as the only starch option on the menu besides crispy sweet potato. For the price point, we would have been just as happy with a side of white rice. I prefer not to order fried rice as a side. Accompanying any entree with fried rice overshadows the complexity of flavors that the kitchen works hard to balance. The fried rice itself was great and I could have made that a meal in itself- for us locals, it "hits da spot" as comfort food. Note that there is a heat element to the dish from chili peppers, not noted on the menu or ingredient list. For dessert, we opted for the CanoeHouse Sundae which includes a furikake pinwheel wafer cookie, drizzled with miso butterscotch sauce. The miso was a hit or miss with the family, but I appreciate the effort to incorporate local ingredients and flavors to the menu. A welcomed, sweet nightcap to our dining experience. Special thank you to the staff for the complimentary birthday dessert! Cash not accepted, credit cards only. Enjoy the lobby on the way out by the infinity fountain and lounge chaises to take in the zen ambience.

We asked to sit outside because we had our baby with the stroller. It was just two of us and our baby. No reservation, (initially planned to do take out but changed our mind) and we got seated right away. We watched waiters set up for two parties; we thought okay, they're busy they'll come after they set the tables. It was at least 8+ for each party, we completely watch both parties arrive, get seated, and got given waters, while all we got were menus. We patiently waited but as soon as we seen waiters started taking likely drink orders, we had enough, we had to have been waiting for at least 45 min. It was disappointing because it's been months since we last came here and we were excited and looking forward to eating here. We ended up leaving and going to Hawaiian style because they had no line. We got seated there right away and got our food quick. Likely won't be coming here anytime soon because of this experience.

The worker was nice about it, but because they don't have a website, how were we supposed to know? We also usually try to make reservations ahead of time, but because there was no website, we figure it's a first come, first serve kind of spot. That's our bad for making that assumption, but now that I'm reading other Yelp reviews, this seems to be a years-old customer service issue. But it makes sense, since exclusivity seems to be part of the business plan (i.e. small/limited seating, reservations only). Must be working for them. Didn't work out for us though, at least in the moment. So even though we didn't try the food (I'm sure it's likely amazing), it sucked to make the drive out here. Pro tip: call first --months ahead before you plan to go here and make a reservation! After just reading some of the reviews, I learned you can do take out but must order ahead of time. Not sure how much more ahead of time. So calling would also be a good idea here. Honestly, the amount of work to just get info, a reservation, and ultimately a meal here is starting to feel cumbersome. I'm not sure I'd want to try making the effort again. We did turn a lemon situation into lemonade and instead had dinner at Ken's House of Pancakes, and they never disappoint! Had we eaten at Takenoko, we would've missed out on Ken's oxtail stew, which was listed as part of the day's special menu items, and it was one of the best meals we've had in Hilo. So, it all worked out.
