    Green tea cheesecake
    Cheryl V.

    Round Rock~ Just an addition to my review from the other day. We ate here again tonight! It was my friend's birthday and we decided to take him here because it was so good the other day. This time we got a delicious albacore roll, the beef yakisoba again, along with gyoza, and a Chashu Ramen. The waitress was very sweet and brought us a slice of green tea cheesecake, to share, for his birthday. I will say that I would not order the Ramen again. It had absolutely no flavor to the broth, the vegetables were not very tasty, and the pork was extremely fatty to the point where there was just a tiny bit of meat to eat. (In fact, there wasn't very much pork in the soup at all.) Other than that, everything else was delicious!

    Japanese Curry
    Rebecca L.

    A solid mom-and-pop spot that proves you don't need trendy decor to deliver a satisfying Japanese meal. We shared the tonkatsu curry and a sushi combo lunch which came with a roll, hand roll, nigiri, and miso soup), and it was more than enough for two people. The curry isn't Coco Ichibanya level, but honestly, finding decent Japanese curry in town is weirdly tough. This one hit the spot though as it was comforting, flavorful, and served piping hot. The sushi combo was $28, curry was $18, and yakitori skewers ranged from $4-$7 each. Definitely recommend the pork belly (crispy, fatty, and still meaty) and gizzards if you're into that. The only miss for me was the beef skewer, which came out a bit too done rare for my taste. Service was kind and attentive. It's the kind of place that makes you feel welcome and overall is a dependable local option when you're craving Japanese without a crowded hype.

    Calamari tempura
    Briana N.

    I had a friend come here who said that out of Austin, this was the place that had food that was most similar to Japan in terms of look and taste. And although I've yet to go to Japan, that really incentivized me to check Miyo out. It was pretty busy on a Thursday evening, so we sat outside. But the servers were so quick to check on us and get our orders. And they were so friendly too! We got Calamari tempura - I don't usually think Calamari when I go to Japanese restaurants, so it was kind of a shot in the dark ordering these. But I'm so glad we did. The tempura batter was so crispy, and it just gave for a different texture than your normal calamari. And the sauce was delicious too. The squid was cooked soo tenderly. Like usually calamari has a bit of rubbery-ness to it. But biting through these was so smooth and soft, but not too soft that it didn't have a good bite to it. Miso soup - these came with two of the entrees, but it was so delicious! To be fair, I always love miso soup, but it has a good balance of saltiness. And just tasted so homey. Spicy salmon roll - this was just one of their house rolls so it wasn't anything too crazy. But the fish tasted pretty fresh. I do wish the roll was rolled a bit tighter because all my pieces were falling apart when I tried to pick it up. And I kinda expected more spice. Like I thought the salmon itself would be spicy or something. But it just had spicy mayo on it. Kakiage udon - probably my favorite dish of the night! The udon was still bouncy, the broth was light, but had a good addicting saltiness to it. And the veggie pancake was delicious! It doesn't get soggy too fast. And even when it does get softer, it still works with the noodles. Chicken katsudon - also delicious! The chicken was really tender and seasoned really well. Even the rice underneath, I was afraid it would be plain and that the sauce only permeated the top layer. But the whole bowl was really flavorful, without being too saucy. The pickled vegetable on top was way more sour than I expected though.

    Other than the local prices, this place feels like a Japanese restaurant. The yakitori is standout--expertly grilled the skewer we ate delivered a rich, smoky bite with just the right char. The sushi is fresh and delicious. The matcha was the least matcha flavor I've had in a while but the cheesecake was still deliciously textured. With every bite, I loved the katsu curry more and more. The space feels intimate yet lively with almost every table occupied during the lunch hour. Prices are reasonable for the quality, making Miyo a great hidden gem for fans of authentic, no-frills Japanese cuisine.

    Always excellent! 13 year old chose to eat at Miyo for his birthday dinner. He loves the Unagi Don and everything else there! It's a family favorite!

    Yakitori

    This was $10+ dollars. $5 dollar per stick and this is what you get. 3 pieces of Burnt dried, unseasoned chicken.

    The food and service here are great! My husband came here for dinner on Valentine's Day. The food arrived quickly and all the sushi was very flavorful. The location is in a cute little shopping/dining strip area right off of Parmer Ln. We will be back!

    TONKATSU CURRY
    Cam H.

    I enjoyed the nigiri sushi here. My favorites were the scallop and fatty salmon. Generous portion of fish. Toro was fatty enough, but some parts were a bit too chewy for me. Their rolls were well balanced, full of flavor and freshness but maybe a bit too much rice. I did like that the rice here wasn't too vinegary like other spots. The tonkatsu curry here was decent, but didn't blow me away. The pork tonkatsu was perfectly fried and crispy though. The sukiyaki dish was good! The eggs were soft, runny, and buttery. Service was just amazing. We had the sweetest lady as our waitress. She was so patient and accommodating. She made our dining experience so pleasant. Very cute spot. I would definitely come back, especially to take advantage of their lunch specials. They have a patio too, perfect for when it gets nicer outside.

    CHICKEN KATSU CURRY
    Andy G.

    Walking in, it took me back to my time in Japan. The aromas were authentic. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry (Japanese curry is VERY different from Indian curry in case you were wondering, more sweet and mild). This was reminiscent of Japan for sure. I thought initially the price was a tad high, but the portion size is basically for two adults lol. I made the mistake of eating it all in one sitting (guess I'm not eating dinner lol). My wife chose the Sushi Bento . Sushi was top notch, tempura cooked to perfection....just feel like we traveled to Japan without the jet lag. very happy today!

    Eric G.

    We came here for a late lunch and sat outside with our two dogs. The service was prompt and super friendly. The outside patio is clean and nice, only downside is it's on a busy and fairly loud street. We ordered three items: The edamame was pretty good, very garlicky with a slight kick. The two rolls, the Sarang roll and hot night roll, were both super tasty and a fair price. Overall I'd be tempted to go back for sushi if in the area, but probably to eat inside instead. Recommended if you're in the area!

    Is charging $83.90 justifiable for any sushi restaurant?

    I used to visit Miyo for their fresh sushi, but after a disappointing experience with a mischarge that they refused to correct, I will be telling my friends to avoid this place. I ordered 2 pieces of bluefin toro and 2 pieces of uni. Their menu requires you to write the quantity, and I wrote the same amount for both items. The server even mentioned the prices should be similar. But when the bill arrived, I was flabbergasted to see an $83.90 charge just for the blue fin toro. How can that be??? To charge that much without even warning the customer? For comparison, I recently paid $39 for unlimited sashimi at Sushi Warriors and had over 30 pieces, so I know I was being taken advantage of. I didn't finish the dish and, after seeing the bill, asked if they could take it back and offer a partial refund, thinking it might be a misunderstanding. Instead, the manager refused, saying that raw fish can't be re-served.. Their lack of empathy was disappointing, and it feels like they care more about making a profit than about making right with their customers :( Response to Business Owner: * I marked the menu for 2 piece sushi for the blue fin toro. * This is not true at all, at no point during the meal did anyone confirm the number of pieces, nor that it was sashimi instead of sushi. * Yes, I ate the sushi before I saw the bill. But if I had known the true price or seen the bill, I wouldn't have eaten any pieces. I called the next day to explain to the manager that there must have been a misunderstanding or pricing error. I hoped you would understand that an average person can't afford such a charge, and would consider issuing a partial refund, especially since I even embarrassingly offered to return my leftovers..

    GARLIC EDAMAME
    Marisa P.

    Hidden gem alert!!!! Pleasantly surprised by this place! There's nothing like enjoying fresh sushi after a long week! Garlic edamame has a "special miyo garlic sauce" that I need the recipe to pronto! Can't go back to regular edamame ever again! Chicken teriyaki was good, but the sushi was where it's at! There's so many menu options, you can't go wrong. See you guys soon!!!

    CHICKEN KATSU DON
    G N.

    Been a while since we came here and took us a while to track down 'that place which had yummy sushi'. We ate here once before for lunch and had an early dinner this time around. Still as delicious. The chicken Katsu don, baked scallop roll and the volcano rolls were all delicious, fresh and filling

    Best hidden gem sushi spot in Austin. I hesitate writing about it because I want it to stay hidden,…read morebut as a foodie I cannot help but give praise. Keep in mind that locals know and love this place, so Friday-Sunday nights will need a reservation. Lunch is much more tame. I personally like the fast but friendly bustle of a popular eatery, and they are popular for a reason. If you aren't tempted by the offerings on their menu, they do rotating chef specials in sashimi or nigiri style. Last night my trio did both and were treated to absolutely decadent and culinarily exquisite combinations of flavor. Even on such a packed night, our waitress was still welcoming, helpful, and engaging, ready to offer recommendations and going over each course in detail. If you love sushi, you will love this place.

    This is some of the best sushi that I've had in Austin. Its not too far from where I live and I'm…read moreso disappointed in myself for barely figuring out it existed. My husband and I had a date night to the movies and I picked this place randomly for dinner before we headed to the theater. Long story short-we didn't have a reservation (I recommend making one before you go bc this place was poppin!) - but they were nice enough to fit us in as long as we ate quickly. I appreciated it bc we already were in a rush and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal.

For roughly $60 the wife was full and we had roughly 6 dishes and one cocktail (I was still slightly hungry). Think of it as more of a tapas style ordering. Soft shelled crab - My absolute favorite and by far the best dish! Crispy from the breading, soft shell and subtle crab taste, and to top it off the fried egg adds some creaminess from the yolk. Not greasy at all due to the way it's fried. And who doesn't like a little microgreen to add some freshness to it?! It could likely use a little more salt, and this particular time the yolk was a overcooked. Sushi Tacos - 2nd favorite! You get two, and frankly I prefer not sharing these (although my wife forced me to). It's such a unique dish. Each taco is palm sized. They take a yummy piece of laver (seaweed), coat one side and deep fry it to make a nice hard shell taco casing. Then they fill it with sushi rice, top it with plentiful tuna, add a slice of avocado, and top it with micro greens. Refreshing, light (once you squeeze the tiny lime on top), slightly filling due to the rice, and absolutely delicious. Takoyaki - I'm not a fan, but the wife is. For me it's a texture thing. Even when visiting Japan I didn't enjoy this dish. Honestly though I do think it deserves far more bonito flakes, as the dish is meant to look alive from the waving flakes. Honestly we love this place so much, I always get engrossed in the food so much I forget to take pics. The overall ambience is chill and refined, albeit no white tableclothes, but it acts like it should have them. This location gets busy during dinner time, however during happy hour it's rarely even 1/4 full. Monday's the happy hour is all day!
