I like to keep my reviews up-to-date so I went back to Miyazaki this week. This time we had the Chicken Yakisoba and it was the bomb. It came out on a cast iron skillet with crispy noodles and delicious flavor. This time, I was glad I had a reservation because it was packed on a Friday night! Don't miss going to this place! read more

The food was excellent!! If the rating was just based on food, it would be a 10! Couple of areas that need some improvement. If they sell cold sake, it should be cold not at room temp. Service is 3.5, we had to consistently hail the server, including asking for the check. I would think they would want to turn tables, there were people waiting for a table. Minor issue, it was pretty warm inside the restaurant. But I would definitely go back and try the other food on their menu. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Delicious sushi, attentive staff, free parking, casual atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

I asked for small portions of rice for the nigiri that I ordered but still came with lots of rice. The fish did not taste fresh. And for some reason oil was on my dish. The ikura was very watery . Nothing tasted authentic Japanese. Restaurant is cute and service for good. Sadly I will not return. Shiono's is much more authentic. read more

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 read more

My family and I loved this restaurant. It's a small cute place and the wait staff is super friendly. We all loved our food, I got the VIP roll which was amazing, my dad got a bunch of nigiri including a house special of the day which was delicious and my Mom, who doesn't love fish, got the Chicken Yakisoba which was great. Could not recommend this place highly enough! read more

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! read more

The service here was phenomenal with the servers coming over and double checking our experience, while here I decided to try a few new items uni and kenpachi and eel, everything was super fresh. Although I wasn't the biggest fan of uni the texture was something special it was very fresh and worth it for the experience. They play really nice jazzy tunes from the 80s for the music and honestly it was such a vibe. I loved the kenpachi and the samurai roll was phenomenal my friends ate some nijiri and a cold ramen and rainbow don and mackerel. All of it was really good we topped off with dessert a tempura fried ice cream also delicious! The price was what I'd expect for an epic fresh sushi place I wasn't shocked by anything other than the market price of sea urchin/uni. All in all the service was top tier the guy came and checked on us and when he found out I was trying new things he was honestly excited to hear my opinion on it all. read more

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! read more

Fantastic place and great staff. read more

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! read more

We've eaten there several times it's a lovely place new remodeled updated. The food is excellent everything that we've had and tried services excellent. Parking a bit tight but get there early and you'll get a space or park at the library across the street. I know they say they have parking in the back but it's awkward to get in there. read more

Best sushi I've had in Kona . Great service and some very good unique items on the menu

Miyazaki Sushi is our favorite place to eat fresh sushi on Kona. The food is amazing, fresh and the service is outstanding!!! Our server Adi and the rest of the staff make our dining experience, a pleasure. The BEST kept secret. 10 plus STARS read more

Loved the sushi!! Food was fantastic quick service. Fish was super fresh and really loved the tuna lover roll. Definitely would come back next time in Kona read more

Randomly picked this place to make a to go order for a bunch of the popular menu items here one day and now I can't stay away. Dining in with the team that runs this place is even more enjoyable than grabbing to go though. Ade is always a great server and everyone else clearly knows what they're doing because the food is fantastic. Even if you want to make an alteration on something they will make recommendations to make sure you can try all the best stuff. But the Wagyu roll is a must every time. read more

Loved the double hamachi and Tokyo rolls. Excellent tempura, tons of roll options, can even add black rice for something different. Fresh fish and super nice staff. A bit hot inside. read more

The food was okay. We were planning on giving our tip some on card and the rest in cash. But the waiter Ade questioned why we only left a small tip not knowing the situation. He asked us in various ways why we left a small tip questioning us about his service multiple times. The service was good but to question us about the amount of tip we gave made us very uncomfortable. We still left cash tip anyways. read more

Amazing new sushi place right in the center of Kona! Fast and extremely friendly service. Very clean and modern interior with choice of table/booth seating or a sushi bar seating. Lots of unique and delicious sushi choices. Lots of other options if you're not a sushi person. They've got a great little beer, wine, and sake menu as well. They also have a small kids menu and even have fried ice cream! Free parking and some outdoor seating available. Very fair pricing and I highly recommend! read more

As someone who goes to Tokyo regularly and is quite picky about sushi, this is hands down the best sushi spot in Kona. Always fresh & flavorful, beautiful presentation, & perfect service.

Have been to this restaurant 3 times now in the past few months. Everything is wonderful from the atmosphere to the service. Food of course is amazing or I would not go back, have tried the tacos, various rolls and Chirashi, sake and beers. Even the music is great. Take out is also available but the vibe is so great there and location is central, make time to sit and enjoy. read more

Miyazaki - Chirashi and a roll I don't remember the name of in the background. We had the Wagyu roll as well that was gorgeous and the VIP roll too. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Sooooo good. Casual pleasant ambiance with classy yet friendly service. We are visiting from the Oregon coast where we live in a fishing town and have access to fresh fish -- so we have high standards! The hamachi was incredible-- melt in your mouth fresh. The Hawaiian roll was both simple and decadent, expertly topped with chopped macadamia nuts. The lilikoi jasmine iced tea was lightly sweet and refreshing. Highly recommend-- try it all; the menu is extensive. read more

After stopping by another restaurant that didn't have what we were looking for, we ended up here--and it felt like finding a little piece of Japan on the Big Island. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt authentic: cool, clean, welcoming, and unpretentious. It instantly reminded our family of some of the small sushi spots we loved during our trip to Japan. The food was outstanding. The hamachi and toro belly was incredible, and the baked salmon special was one of our favorites. The salmon collar was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. What really made the experience special was our server, who was from Japan. We loved chatting with her, and her warmth and hospitality made us feel like regulars. The entire experience felt genuine, friendly, and authentic. The biggest compliment came from our daughter, who declared it was "the best sushi I've ever had!" We will absolutely be back the next time we're on the Big Island. A true hidden gem. read more

I would give ZERO stars if I could. Prices are now DOUBLE what they used to be and the other day I cam in with friends, and one of our dishes tasted AWEFUL, and they refused to take it off the bill. Used to come here before going to the movie theater. Now, NO MORE! There are so many nicer places to go, and one of them is on the other side of the parking lot! One of the friends I was with spoke their language, and overheard them talking about a mouse they saw in the kitchen! Ewwwwww! ******* addition to review: Nope this is not a fake review. Its REAL, and I am not the first to give a 1-star review to your restaurant. I hope readers heed this warning that your restaurant is not clean, and your service is so terrible that it doesnt seem like you care. Camera's I was with a group, could have been faced away from your camera, and my picture is from my younger days. Enough with your excuses. TERRIBLE! read more

So good! We had sashimi sampler & chicken katsu bento box & jasmine green tea. Everything came out super fast and no wait. Sashimi was delicious and cute and katsu was cooked perfectly. Yum read more

Loved the communication effort regarding our reservations. They were very accommodating when we had to delay our res time a couple of times. Dinner was excellent. The sushi really good. The fish very fresh. Their miso soup was really good. Not watery and they had all the good stuff inside like green onions, wakame seaweed, and tofu. Will order the Amari (clam) miso soup the next time. Salmon skin salad not the best. Shiono supersedes theirs. Service was excellent.
