A year ago, this was our go to spot when we wanted good sushi. We also loved this spot as a late night option. It hasn't been kid-friendly for a while so we can't even choose this place as an option for a family dinner like how it was before. The food has been hit or miss lately. If I hear that it's improved, I'll give it another try when I have a babysitter. read more

The food her is appalling, so so gross I genuinely wanted to puke after eating here... I ordered sushi a d the fish tasted rancid as slimy! The server was really rushed and kinda made me feel unwelcome. This restaurant is a neat concept for this town but it's not worth your money. read more

0 stars if I could go lower. Utterly disappointed with this establishment. We came as a group of 10 to karaoke and enjoy some food and drinks. When we were seated, the waiter came out after 10 mins and told us that we had to spend $100 minimum per table and $80/hour if we wanted karaoke (which we were absolutely willing to do). HOWEVER, instead of seating us as a group at one table (which was available since there were only 2 other parties in the restaurant), they slid together 2 tables and now said our minimum was $200 and $80/hour for karaoke. BY THE WAY, "$80/HOUR KARAOKE" only includes ONE SONG PER PERSON, and you cannot give your turn to another person if you do not want to sing. They then told us if you want to sing ANOTHER song, you will be charged an additional $80. Though the staff were respectful, these instructions came directly from the owner. We would have spent way more than the limit, but the treatment was extremely disrespectful. We did not appreciate being treated like this, especially in a city like Wichita. We have heard terrible things about the owner of this place, but wanted to give it a chance only to be let down. I DO NOT recommend this place. read more

If you're heading north on Penstemon St after turning onto E 29th St and you pass the AMC, turn around because you've gone too far. The place is a white, house-like building. Inside, it's spacious with private booths, tables, and a bar in the center. You order your food through a kiosk at your table. The Korean fried chicken is a must-try--you get 10 huge pieces along with sweet potato fries. It's definitely a dish to share or save for leftovers. The drinks were delicious, and so was the sushi we ordered. If you're looking for a movie date night, this is the spot--my wife and I watched *Twisters* right next door at the AMC afterwards. Highly recommend btw. read more

I finally had the chance to try Miya Izakaya after it opened in August. The food was well seasoned and flavorful. I know many friends said it was salty when it first opened; sounds like they were receptive to the feedback and adjusted their recipes. The food did come out fast, but the chicken wasn't piping hot. Which leads me believe that it's not cooked to order. Since the chicken wasn't freshly out the fryer, it didn't have that double fried super crispy crunch that Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) typically has. Of course all KFC places aren't the same, maybe this is their version of it and that's completely fine. The jalapeño and soy flavors were difficult to distinguish. They offer a variety of sauces/flavors. Their galbi flavor looks delicious and hoping to try that next time. The mochi donuts that replaced the fries were yummy! I'd order just that and be satisfied. Light and fluffy rolled in sugar. I liked the slaw that was paired with it to have a different flavor profile. We had 2 sushi rolls beautifully presented. The fish cuts were thick and proportioned to the size of the roll. Flavor was good, nothing too special. Our server was timid and spoke softly. He brought out soy sauce and little bit of ginger and wasabi. We asked for more and each time was brought back the same tiny tiny portion. I'd like to try it again and ask for the chicken to be freshly cooked, which I think would change a lot for me. Would be great to have a bone bag or plate. Prices were reasonable. I am happy that there is finally a place that offers KFC and know that they are still working out the kinks. I also found it kinda odd that they handed us a pen and paper that said "Review Us". Maybe have that option presented in the checkbook or have a review system on the iPad for staff to encourage customers to complete it? read more

This place has a nice chill ambience. The food was good, service was good. Not over priced, and great flavor. The wings were actually quite spicy, so that was a nice surprise! Fries were crispy and salty, and the sushi rolls had a nice crunchy and chewy texture. The tempura that came with the sushi roll was great - I would order more of it. read more

Sushi was very fresh and fair prices, server was fast and very attentive to our group

Karaoke was fun! Their sushi was almost as good as Sushiya. Fresh and quick once ordered. They have great karaoke. If they're busy, don't expect the staff to rush to seat you. Not will they have time to get you a drink if you sit at the bar You may be waiting twice to 3x as long as they originally say. The wait was worth it, but maybe not a second time. The tempera udon is super salty, wouldn't order it again. read more

Miya Izakaya - Karaoke setup - Izakaya Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

I live literally 50 feet from this place, and I rather eat beefaroni for dinner. With this being so close , we had EXTREMELY high hopes. It was clear that a lot of effort went into refurbishing the building and its interior, but that's about where the effort seems to have stopped. Our first trip to this place was actually pretty good! (1 1/2 years ago when they opened). They had loads of things on the menu that they were still trying to slim down. We got some yummy beef skewers and French fries. No complaints. Every subsequent trip has been plagued by mediocrity. They don't take their own pictures for the menu, so you really had NO IDEA what you're ordering, other than the name. Like seriously, everything we ordered looked absolutely nothing like the pictures, which was a HUGE disappointment. Even our mixed drink was completely different looking than advertised. Flavors were bland, presentation was a bit sloppy, and none of the fish was fresh. Our fresh salmon actually turned out to be AGED.... What??? This place is so inconsistent that I don't understand how they have any business, because my wife and I sure don't recommend them to anyone that asks... I wouldn't go here again, and i could literally hop, skip, and jump to it. read more

We stumbled on this place while in Wichita for the weekend. From the outside, you might think it's a vacant building because we almost left. But when we saw someone went inside, we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we did! The place is clean with nice minimalist decorations, service is efficient with the ordering technology they use, and of course!! The food is delish!!! We tried the deep fried oyster sushi, gangster roll (I think) and Korean combo chicken. All of the food were very good and trying Korean chicken from other place, this place beat them by far with the taste! Just a little warning on the drinks... 1st refill is free, then the next ones will be a new charge. Other than that, love this place. We'll surely comeback again when we're back in the area. read more

Excellent service and absolutely delicious rolls. Came here on a Monday afternoon as a group of three. We each got a roll or two and a couple appetizers and dessert to try and share. We loved everything. They had some unique rolls with ingredients I've not really seen before. The staff was friendly and helpful. The owner really made sure we had excellent service. Such a nice guy! We got so much food for a really really great price! One of my new favorite spots in Wichita! Found out they have karaoke at 8pm! I would definitely go back for that. Sounds like fun! read more

Consistency is an issue. I really loved everything I got the first time but it was all kinda gross the second time... I did get the Unagi this visit and it was amazing! Worrying because it may not be next time... the tuna maki was a little fishy but edible and simple. The Zuke salmon looked WAY different and just like normal salmon with a huge side of silver skin. The Aburi salmon was also kinda gross, which was so weird because it was amazing last time! My mom got the $10, 5 piece Honey Chicken fried chicken and the menu said it came with coleslaw.. it doesn't. Instead of providing the coleslaw they said someone in South Korea had to change the tablet menu... Yeah... I'm over it. Back to Wasabi where the salmon is like butta read more

Wow, had such high hopes for this place. LOVE the ordering system and the high wall booths. DON'T LOVE the service, the inconsistency of food, and the fact that they are usually dead, which makes me question how fresh the food is. Restaurants like this are a mystery to me - they have the potential to be a massive success, and they offer mediocre or bad service which taints the whole experience. I really want them to succeed, but they seem to be dead set on driving themselves into the ground. read more

Drinks and the server were good but the fried chicken was awful. Food just didn't taste fresh and the ingredients were off. Over priced for food items as well. read more

I recently moved back to Wichita, KS and have been on the hunt for the best sushi in town. This place may be it! I'm a simple guy, so I don't go for the crazy/creative specialty rolls. I like nigiri and simple rolls like spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, etc. This place does the simple stuff well. The prices aren't bad at all for nigiri and sashimi. We came with a group of 5 and all got full and didn't break the bank. During our most recent visit, we decided to try their Korean Fried Chicken. We ordered the Jalapeno Garlic Soy Chicken. It's not the best KFC I've ever had, but it's solid. It was little on the saltier side, but it was so crispy and juicy. I'd probably order it again but try a different flavor next time. Don't be shy, give them a try! read more

BEST SUSHI IN WICHITA Ignore those reviews written within 1st month of opening. Service has been great both times we've went in month of sept and oct 2022. From the house marinated soy sauce to the freshest Sashimi I've eaten in ICT, this place will be my go to sushi spot from now on. We've been twice in the last month. The Korean fried chicken is yummy. The soy sauce chicken is deceiving with a name like that, it is pretty sweet. Tastes almost like there's a syrup on it. Yummy nonetheless. The fries and coleslaw that come on the side make this a pretty good deal for the price. The sushi roll prices are all very reasonable. The quality is high, and the presentation is great. I love that the sashimi special comes with plenty of fresh fish AND a tuna roll on the side. Best deal in town. The ordering system is fun too! You order on a tablet and can pace your food. They still come around and check in on you. Only downside is I can't figure out how to modify something through tablet. read more

First place I've been to with Korean fried chicken in Wichita Kansas and I was very impressed. The ambience of the restaurant was so cute I loved the designs of the booths and the spacious dining area. I was just as impressed with our service even though everything was ordered through the table top tablet the staff were very comforting and friendly. Definitely a place I would come back to with friends to share they gave a LOT of food for $20 dollars. I had the soy sauce chicken with spicy Korean seasoned fries and pork dumplings. read more

It took us a while to get a chance to try this restaurant and had really high hopes for it. And unfortunately it was disappointing. One word, SALTY. Almost everything was just salty. The calamari itself was already salty, and it was paired with soy sauce. Not the best combination. Would have preferred a mango sauce that is sweet and tangy. Shrimp tempura came out nicely done but with no dipping sauce so it was just bland. We came mainly for the chicken just because this was the first restaurant that offers Korean Chicken in Wichita. And we were greatly disappointed. The chicken was crunchy and the texture of Korean chicken but were VERY salty. You can barely taste the flavor. Maybe some pickled radish would have helped even out the flavor but unfortunately that was not on the menu. Each chicken order comes with 8 pieces, paired with Korean slaw and seasoned fries. We did not get a chance to try their sushi selection as they ran out. So maybe we will come back later and give them another chance. But as of right now, not a big fan. Three stars for our very kind and hardworking server. There was only two server on a busy Saturday and the whole time she was very pleasant and helpful! read more

Decided to visit the day after the grand opening. Their system at the tables are currently down and beer isn't able to be served yet but we really came for the food. Started with tempura vegetable. Overall very tasty but not as crispy as I like tempura. Next came the Aburi salmon nigiri. Let me just say this was quite the unique nigiri. The flavors melded together so perfectly that I saved the 2nd one for the last bite of my meal. If you're a salmon lover this is a MUST GET. The Korean fried chicken came out next. The bone in wings come LARGE and IN CHARGE with bold flavor. It was a little on the salty side but that's what the cabbage is for!! Finally the larry lobster roll came last. Let's just say the combination of flavors is what I'd expect from a sushi restaurant in California. It was done really well and quite possibly the best roll I've had in Wichita, ever. And its MASSIVE. We had so many leftovers and they still surprised us with complimentary tastings of other items! Service was impeccable despite being new. Food came out super fast especially for being new. I really hope this restaurant stays around, I plan to bring my friends here any time they are in town!! read more

Miya Izakaya, you serve some DELICIOUS korean fried chicken. So yes, here it is. Friend worked hard & managed to get us in to try this new place. We went with the standard "soy" flavor (mix of sweet & spice) for our chicken. Each set came with CURRY FRIES (unbelievable I tell ya. Such a nice break from the usual cajun fries that's served) + cabbage slaw (made with Kewpie mayo?). We were such fans of the chicken - very juicy, crispy, and big! And because I wanted to try more of the full menu, also got sushi + udon. Both were good, but come on... if you had a choice... chicken all the way right?? Restaurant is still new with only 2 servers, so owner suggested coming around 8pm to beat the crowds. We ended up waiting ~1hr for our food which came out 1 dish at a time, but as a result... everything came out hot & fresh. So truly, no regrets. Being patient & kind is worth it. I hope to see this restaurant flourish, so Wichita, you better be nice to it! Price: $$ Taste: 9/10 read more

Plenty of unique flavors wings and plenty of options to pick from. Miya Izakaya is a nice asian restaurant that pushes out good sushi and delicious chicken wings. I ordered a few different things to try on my initial visit and I left full and happy. The first up was some classic Nigiri; it wasn't fishy smelling and tasted perfectly fine. In my opinion, the wings were where it is at. I ordered 5050 and got two different flavors. Probably the best way to enjoy them and try different flavors. I wish I had more people with me so I could've tried more! @phidingthefam read more

This is extremely disappointing as I have been here on multiple occasions. The food is good. The Korean fried chicken is one of my favorite things to eat there. The sushi is great, but their service is awful. Enough for me to not return anymore. Each time I come in, I consistently get terrible service. I hope it'll be different. Some people have bad days, I get it. However, each time is a disappointment. The one that takes the cake on their poor service is Alex. An old friend and I dined- in around 5:30 pm on a Thursday night. Got our food in a timely manner. Finished eating, finished eating around 6 pm and we were catching up. It was getting close to 7 pm. Alex cleaned up our plates, gave us our checks. Normal stuff. Then he took our drinks away. Without a word. I thought that was unusual, but I wanted to catch up with my friend since she's in town. Then Alex went up to us stating we need to go because they're gonna need this table since it's getting close to their busy time and that they'll get a line. There were more than 6 tables open when I got up. There were no lines at the door. I would have been more understanding if it was packed, but seriously? Even when I go to brunch at different restaurants that have an hour wait time, I have never been dismissed. Another scenario is when I brought a couple of friends coming from town to this spot and we ordered multiple items to do a family style dining. We asked for plates and the waitress rolled her eyes when we asked for extra plates so we can share. "Plates are only used for the kitchen". I have never heard such a thing. So we shared our meal with napkins. I am done with this establishment. Their service is poor. When you read past reviews and their responses, you'd be shocked. Their management with customer service is unprofessional. read more

This place smells funny. That is not a sushi joke, I love sushi and have been to many decent sushi restaurants. This wasn't one of them. The good: the ordering system with the little tablet was neat. The service was friendly. The prices for sushi were reasonable. Large place with a big bar and I saw a sign that said karaoke. Cool. The bad: The interior and exterior look run down. The sushi wasn't that good. The crab was actually dry somehow. The soy sauce was watered down. There was an annoying loud electronic beep then electronic announcement "front door" every time someone came in or left. There was a strange stainless steel bowl with a plastic wrapper on each table that the soy sauce bottle sit in. Very odd. The ugly: The smell. It was strong as soon as you walk in the door. Old grease? Slightly pungent garbage? Dirty mop water? Could have been any of those. Not appealing. We won't be back. Don't believe the hype. read more

The inside is not what you'd expect from looking at the outside. It has a good vibe and the set up is really cool. Each table is separate and inside its own little structure so it's a lot more intimate and blocks out sound from other guests. The food was delicious and how you order and request stuff is really cool. Everything is done from the tablet on the table - ordering, requesting dishes be cleared, karaoke, help, requesting your check, etc. They also have a full bar and karaoke! read more

It was a beautiful sit down, and the lighting was perfect.

The menu was on this tablet device and it made me feel very at easy and like I didn't have to wait to catch the attention of staff.

The restaurant was a bit hard to find in the dark. The sign is not by the street entrance. The food prices are high. The taste is pretty good though. We enjoyed everything we ordered. We had salmon nigiri, salmon roll, Korean fried chicken, and fries. The miso soup was mediocre. I did not enjoy the food ordering experience. Using a small computer screen to order was cumbersome. You also have to use the screen just to ask for more water. I don't think you should tip 15% here. I'd come back here again, but I think the food is overpriced for the quantity and quality. read more

My food was ok. Other person's food was lacking finesse for that dish. So there needs to be more care and craft to the cooking. The layout was weird like a miniature aircraft hangar.

Came here for a birthday dinner with 8 people and two tables. We all added our food onto the screen and as food started coming out, we were still waiting for an order of chicken. Thirty minutes passed by without the chicken coming out so I asked if it was possible that the meal could be comped for the inconvenience of our friend waiting. Instead of the owner listening to me, he rolled his eyes, turned to the kitchen and told them to stop the order and walked away from me. He then proceeded to a voice me for the rest of the night and I communicated with the servers who were AMAZING. I was truly trying to give them the benefit of the doubt after finding hair in another friend's food, but this is just ridiculous. Such a disrespectful and distasteful owner/manager, won't be receiving my money ever again. read more
