Miyako has been here a long time, but I've never been previously. We had the place to ourselves for the most part; only one other customer came while we dined here even though it was the weekend during lunchtime. I'm not sure how they're surviving when the parking lot always seems to be empty anytime I drive by. We ordered the teriyaki chicken, teriyaki pork, and a side of tsukemono. It was rather odd that the person kept clarifying if we wanted the battered chicken... I believe referring to the sesame chicken. (It's not Japanese-owned.) Both meats were overcooked. The tsukemono was quite plain (just cabbage) and overly salted in my opinion. It wasn't bad, but there's definitely better places for Japanese in the area. The positive of this business is the food was out pretty quick; it was about a ten-minute wait. Service was fine. It seems to be a small, family-owned business. I don't think I'd be back but glad I gave it a shot. read more

I ordered the pork teriyaki bowl. It was overcooked and the pork was very tough. The tsukemono tasted too salty and sour. The teriyaki sauce was not overly sweet or salty. The portion was average for the cost of $13.59, however since the meat was overcooked I will not be back. My wife ordered the teriyaki chicken and it was also overcooked. The cut was a boneless thigh which was surprising since it was dry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a Sunday during lunch there was only one other customer that ordered to-go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was average as the workers were not friendly, but brought the food to us when it was ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This establishment has a fast food restaurant ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is no self serve water, cutlery, or napkins so requesting these items from the employees is necessary. read more

Miyako Teriyaki - Chicken teriyaki and pork teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited this hidden gem in the Freeport area. It's not as flashy as all the other businesses in the area. You can tell it's a mom & pops type of establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in and was the only customer at the time. The couple that works there are very kind and have big smiles. I got the combination plate with sesame chicken and beef teriyaki. When I ordered, they gave me an estimated wait time of 10 mins, which was fine, but I'm sure it was done in less than 10 mins. I thought it was all yummy. The sauce, the way the proteins were cooked, the amount of rice and the cabbage salad. The plate was over $20, but I'm willing to ignore that for this restaurant. read more

My favorite sesame chicken! Been coming here for years and will continue to! They also have great teriyaki cheeseburgers and fish and chips.

I've driven by this place a million times and finally stopped in to try it. I hardly ever see cars here, so always wondered how they stay in business. I read reviews and it seemed decent, so I passed up all the other great options (including my fav place across the street) to give this place a shot. I won't be back. I got a small sesame chicken bowl. They give bigger portions for kids meals.. it's pitifully small. Talk about shrinkflation. The teriyaki sauce is hella strong - very sweet and salty. I prefer the thick teriyaki sauce at Japanese restaurants.. this one is watery and not good. Overall just very disappointed. read more

Miyako Teriyaki - Regular size teriyaki shrimp bowl (~$12) vs Small sesame chicken bowl (~$8) not sure if prices are accurate. Portions are pitiful.. - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have heard wonderful things so I decided to try this local spot. To start, I was pleasantly welcomed by the cashier with politeness and a smile. The owners and the cashier are very nice and welcoming people. Don't be foolish and let the dated outside fool you, this spot is a lovable local gem! The server/cashier came to check on me multiple times, which truly emphasized their care for their customers. The food came relatively quick for I only had to wait about 5-ish minutes. I loved the chicken teriyaki bowl that I ordered, which came with tsukemono, a simple and deliciously refreshing cabbage topping. The food was straight forward, yet delicious and full of flavor, the chicken was quite tender as well. The way they prepared the chicken in thin-julienne-like cuts was unique and allowed the teriyaki sauce to cover more surface are, truly fusing the grilled umami flavor of the neatly cooked chicken with the dark and flavorful teriyaki sauce. Using my best judgement, the prices of the food is about the same you would find anywhere else. For the plates/ bowls they offer 3 different sizes. Some other menu items they feature are burgers, fish fry, beef, and chicken katsu. Additionally the restroom that is out back was clean and ready to use(kindly ask to use the restroom and you'll be given a key). The inside of the restaurant was clean without a speck of food or liquid in site. The tables, ground, and even on top of the trash cans were as clean as a brand new car. Overall, I will absolutely be returning to this local gem and am looking forward to trying their other menu items. If you find yourself nearby and looking for a bite, consider giving this Korean-family-owned restaurant some love! read more

Coming here for years. Mom and Pop restaurant. Great service and food with generous portions and reasonable prices.

I haven't eaten here in years and now I remember why. I ordered the teriyaki bowl and the sesame chicken bowl. Also had some soup. Absolutely awful chicken - both teriyaki and sesame chicken were not worth eating . My dinner mate ate the rice and we left never again read more

I have been coming here since I was a child - this place is simple and delicious, the portions are huge and the owners are absolutely the sweetest people. My husband and I can share the combo plate and be full, they are definitely generous with their portions. I will continue to come here for my teriyaki fix as long as they are open!! read more

I was in the mood for a teriyaki bowl and I was curious to try this place not too far from home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Felt like stepping into a time capsule with the old school fast food restaurant decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a small sesame chicken bowl. It was indeed small.

Hate to give such a low review of this place. The lady at the counter was so very nice and welcoming. I was excited to eat here because I have lived in Japan and the teriyaki bowl spots were so good. Given there are so many Asian restaurants in the area, I figured it might be worth giving them a shot. However, the food was very disappointing. I got the teriyaki bowl, regular size(I think it's kind of pricey for what you get). The lady was Korean and it might explain the fermented cabbage that came with the teriyaki bowl. It wasn't kimchi, more like sauerkraut. It wasn't like any Japanese side dish I've had before. Wished they didn't add that. The rice was cooked very well. The chicken was cooked very well. The sauce is what ruined it all. I'm not sure if it was the flavor or if it was the sugar hiding the saltiness. But it just wasn't for me. If I compare it to my favorite spot in Japan, (starts with a Y and ends with an A, and I've seen franchises in SoCal), this place is at the bottom of the totem pole. I think they need to reassess their recipe. However, judging by other reviews, it seems like they have enough regulars to keep them in business. read more

Excellent food and good portions! I've come here for years and nothing can compare. The sesame chicken is my FAVORITE! This is a mom and pop place and only really seems to be known by the locals in the area, but it's been in business so long because we know how good it is! Definitely recommend! If you're ever in the area, definitely worth stopping in read more

My boyfriend and I both got the teriyaki shrimp bowls and it was not what we were expecting compared to other teriyaki food places. Just rice and 4 pieces of fried shrimp. The portion size for $45 is not worth it at all. We ordered 2 bowls and 2 drinks. They were very nice people though and our order came out pretty fast. read more

The place is immaculately clean but sadly the food was way over priced for the quality. I was drawn by the four star ratings which turned out to be way off. The rice should be fluffier (not dry), the katsu was limp, and the sauce was way too salty and caters to an Americanized version of teriyaki that is dreadful. If you like just pouring old soy sauce on rice maybe this is the place for you. Note: The menu lists plates and yelp shows square plates but the food will be served in bowls. They could do so much better just making a simple katsudon or oyakodon. The red flag was finding the place empty at dinner time. read more

I ordered the fish and chips and the pot stickers and they were both excellent. So good here! Every time I've Chicken Teriyaki Bowl ate here I was so pleased I did!

Miyako Teriyaki - sesame chicken - Japanese Near Me - Sacramento, California

**Takeout available during this pandemic** It's simple stuff, but tasty. Combo sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken is my jam. It's not super cheap, but it's a bigass plate with plenty of chicken. I haven't tried their spicy sauce, but it is nice to know the option is there. When in the mood for spicy I may have dumped sriracha on the whole thing at home. Many fried things are also on the menu. I'm good with my massive rice plate of teriyaki. Maybe you want the fried things. The dining room is throw back 70s Weinersnitzel. Or something like that. These days when it's always to go that doesn't matter much. Support your local teri man. read more

Amazing food!! We've gone here for years on years on years!! I'm NEVER EVER disappointed with the food. Ever!! The couple that owns and works here makes the food with so much love you can taste it. It is a tiny bit pricey for some I hear, I don't really think so but the food has always been so worth it. The couple that runs this place are always so kind and willing to help you understand any item on the menu. I absolutely love coming here and will continue to be w customer as long as they're open. read more

This placed charged me $31 for a small bowl a regular plated. Way more then whats priced on their menu. When I asked her about it, she said these are the new prices. I would have no problem paying it if it I knew that's how much it was before I ordered. What is the point of a menu if your prices are whatever you feel like charging that day?? read more

Came here on a whim after a Sprouts grocery trip. Wanted something that was fast, but didn't want a burger. I came here because of the reviews, but sadly was let down. Maybe it's familiar food to locals, but I probably wouldn't come again. The teriyaki was salty and soy sauce based. The chicken isn't grilled, it's more like shredded chicken. The best thing was the white rice. I wonder if I should have gotten the sesame chicken instead. read more

This was my first time I went here after passing it for years. The place was empty when we went in so it was quick service! The portions of the plate were sizable and was exactly what I was craving! I would just say that as a personal preference I don't like my rice with a lot of sauce so next time i'll just order my sauce on the side. This is my new go to spot if I'm in the area and need a filling lunch! read more

New Year's day, so places were closed. Passing through town and had a hankering for teriyaki and found this place open. Dumpy building with no cars out front... Uh oh. Not looking good. The inside looks like an old, run down, fast food hamburger joint, so no surprise when they have burgers on the menu. Also fish and chips and other fried seafood. Other half of the menu is various teriyaki choices. I ordered 2 teriyaki chicken bowls to go. $12 each. The food arrived very fast (I was the only customer), so I paid and left. Upon arriving hone, gave one to my wife. She says the flavor was good, not great. To me, the bowl had lots of potential. Serving size was good. However the chicken was cheap thigh meat and kinda mushy. The teriyaki sauce tasted like it was a cheap brand from a jar. Heavy soy sauce and thin. I'm giving 2 stars because I did eat the whole thing and was full, but I'll not go back. There must be better options out there! read more

I came here on a Saturday night close to 9 pm, its closing time. I had been wanting to try this place, and went through the back door, only to see that it was locked, but a lady working in the back came and opened the door for me. I felt special thinking the place was already closed but that she was willing to cook any ways -- turns out I was using a door that is usually locked -_- Anyways, I was amazed at how fast this lady was. She was the only one working in the whole restaurant, and when I ordered my sesame chicken bowl, literally less than 5 minutes later, she came out with the food. I was amazed, especially because the chicken was perfectly crisp and it had the right amount of sauce and everything. I will definitely be back to try the gyoza and teriyaki chicken. Their only downfall is that they have such few items on their menu, but it definitely still is worth the stop. read more

Skip this place if you are looking for good food.... The man and I came here after a long day at the Funderland and Fairytail town. The last time I have been was over 10 yrs and everything has gone south since then. I went for the all white chicken teriyaki bowl (extra $1) which was 80 percent rice. The Chicken was cut so fine that a resembled Shredded chicken. It was pretty nasty it was flavorless and beyond dry. The husband had fish-and-chips. Can't say how it was because when I asked him he just said nothing. Once again they may have other items that gave them 2 1/2 stars but I failed to pick them. With many options in this area I'm surprised this place is still in business. It's so tacky to have everything prepacked with little labels indicating its extra money. read more
