    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.

    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.

    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.

    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........

    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.

    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

    Albina S.

    Always fresh, delicious with ton of options for sushi, seafood, Chinese dishes, deserts for very good price.

    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...

    Maibel R.

    Everything was so fresh & clean! Service was great. So many options to choose from. Lots of different varieties you don't often see at other Japanese buffets. A new fav and one of the few buffets that the desserts are actually really good which is unheard of. Looking forward to going again!

    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

    Discount for 60 years old or older senior

    Do you have blue stone crab?

    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

    Hello! I would like to know if you guys have a mimosas on Sunday? Thanks

The polenta is no longer served at the table, but it isn't really missed. The salad bar is well-stocked with fresh greens and several savory sides that are always plentiful. ​The meats are served frequently and are always cooked to your preferred temperature upon request.

The last time I decided to go it was now filled but now I lost my appetite and wasn't really hungry so just took a few items .

Next time I will know to not serve myself if it's not even half full . Pictures I took were after it was filled up , I was just hungry so didn't think of taking the photos the 2nd time not thinking it was cold . So I decided to take photos on my 3rd trip to see and by that time it was filled up half hour later when I'm already to leave . The price is not bad but for getting cold dinner it definitely was too much to pay . I was very disappointed and unsatisfied with the food.

    VERY GOOD ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI!…read more Walked in to TemakHouse on a whim because my boyfriend and I were looking to have sushi for dinner. His conditions were: 1) All you can eat 2) Nearby My conditions were: 1) Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was on the all you can eat menu 2) Good reviews on Yelp I happened to really like everything we ordered, and everything they served us. . . It was funny that every time we ordered our rolls, even though they were the same roll, they came different every time. For example: we ordered the 'Fancy Roll' twice, and one time it came without cucumbers, and the other time it did. (It's supposed to come with cucumbers.) (I maybe thinking of another roll from the menu but this is an example that happened.) Another thing to note is that this is a Brazilian x Japanese establishment, which my boyfriend and I didn't know. Basically everyone was only speaking Portuguese, even the hostess greeted us and farewelled us in Portuguese. I'm giving TemakHouse 4-stars because they had wonderful service, great food, lots of options, everything was pretty to look at, and clean, my only criticism is the prices, and the inconsistentcy in the sushi rolls.

I came in for a delivery pickup, gave the name on the order clearly, showed it on my phone, and was still asked to repeat myself multiple times despite the information being right in front of the host. That alone felt dismissive but I stayed patient. What really caught me off guard was when I went to take the bag, the host grabbed it and held on with what I can only describe as a grip I've never experienced in any restaurant interaction. I've done hundreds of pickups and I have never had someone physically resist handing over a confirmed order like I was attempting something wrong. I wasn't rude, I wasn't aggressive, I simply came to do my job. The lack of basic respect shown toward delivery drivers here is genuinely shocking. These are the people keeping your third party revenue alive. I raised my concern with management and received a dismissive response with no real accountability taken. The reviews here suggest the food may be worth trying but if this is how the staff treats people who are there to support the business I can't in good conscience recommend it. Incredibly disappointing.

And no matter what special you get, you are allowed some catfish with it. So, of course, we each had a fillet. It was the best part of the meal. While the scallops were decent, we were not fans because they were fried, and a bit dry. The fried catfish was crunchy but flavorful. As to the sides, the cole slaw is good. The collard greens were average. The baked sweet potato was very mushy, and the French fries needed to be crisper. The hush puppies were addictive. If you like large or plentiful portions, add a star, because your belly will surely be full. I couldn't finish my scallops or the extra piece of catfish that I had requested. And you're not allowed any doggie bags with the all-you-can-eat offers. We certainly didn't have room to try any desserts. Two entrees at $35.99 each, one alcoholic drink, tax, and tip was $115.
