Amazing selection of traditional Chinese with a twist, beautiful presentation and unique special dishes.

We ordered the noodle soup, the create your own entree', and the Lo Mein entree. We eat oriental cuisine often. We found the noodles over cooked in the soup and the overall flavor very bland. We found the LoMein noodles pasty and the shrimp had a funky taste. The brown sauce in the create your own entree had hardly any flavor. We advised the management who offered a free dessert to compensate,,,,, we didn't take it. 40.00 later, we were on our way out and into the restaurant next door..... read more

We are extremely fortunate to have world-class Chinese food in Columbia, South Carolina thanks to Michelle Wang and the Miyo's family of restaurants. Michelle's attention to detail and extraordinary work ethic make all of her restaurants outstanding places to dine. Whether for a nice dinner on a special occasion, a quick lunch, or take-out after a long day at work, Miyo's is consistently excellent. read more

This last time I was very unhappy with my food. The dumplings were cold in the middle. My entree was very bland and unappetizing. The manager did not seem really concerned with the food. The waiter was mediocre. I used to eat here a lot. Now I know why I have stopped coming. It is unfortunate that this used to be a good place but has deteriorated over the past few years. read more

Excellent food! Blooming jasmine tea was a high point.

We stopped in to Miyo's for a late Thursday night dinner. We did not want anything heavy so our order included the apple and shrimp salad, shrimp tempura sushi roll with soy wrap, two chicken kabob salads, water, and a pot of green tea. The hostess wasn't too friendly and not at all inviting. The waiter was awesome. He made sure our water glasses didn't run empty, the pot of tea was fresh and hot (even poured for us), made suggestion on menu after we explained what we wanted, and was very attentive without being a nuisance. The food was great. The salad was fresh with greens, carrots, and tomatoes. The meat was not overcooked and taste great. Per the waiter's suggestion we had the ginger and house dressing and they were great together as he stated. We were even allowed to order the lunch portion. This was my best experience at a Miyo's and I would definitely recommend this location and go back in the future. read more

I love the food at Miyos, however, I have been disappointed the last three visits not by the food but the smell that permeates the restaurant from the cigar bar next door. There is nowhere in the restaurant one can sit where this does not affect your meal. I asked the hostess whether other people have complained about it and she said yes, but also that she is used to it. read more

Good food. I had the bacon wrapped scallops and they were awesome. my daughter said she enjoyed her sushi. It's a little pricey but okay for a tray once in a while. It appeared clean and the waitstaff was friendly. read more

Great spot for lunch or dinner. Prices are excellent and the food is delish. Try the coconut cake if it's available. :)

Had the worst dining experience ever on January 14th 2018. Meal was served on a square white plate with one corner broken off and felt dirty underneath the plate. I called over the waitress who then asked me if I wanted her to put the food on another plate or start the order over. Pretty sure she just transferred the food to another plate because it came back pretty fast. Finished the food and as I went to hand the plate to the waitress noticed that there was some food stuck to the bottom of this second plate also. I asked to speak to the manager who proceeded to tell me that this had been happening a lot lately. The next day I called the owner to let her know of the problem. She tells me that she has staff issues, as well as complaints from customers concerning dirty and cracked plates to dirty bathrooms. Told me she was fed up and ready to quit. Questioned my Christianity because I complained. Was very rude and promised a refund which I never received. read more

Love the chicken... Yummy, I wish I could get it everyday. I have always had great service here. Only one suggestion... I would love to have a cup of hot mocha frappe after my meal :) read more

We just moved to Columbia and based on reviews, we decided to try this place. I have never had such horrible food in my life. No taste, cold and our seemingly 12 year old waiter did not seem to be there in body or mind. Kept repeating our order which was about as simple as you could get. My husband paid with a credit card. We did not use that card again for several days and while we were out of town we got notification that his account was hacked right after that transaction at Miyos. Several transactions were made. Of course the account was closed and now we are going through the process of clearing this up. All of the transactions were for things a young person would buy, not us. read more

Delicious food and fast service! My dinner was ready before my fiancé so they immediately offered him a salad or rice while his was still being made. That is a sign of good management! read more

This restaurant has very good sushi. The hostess and waitresses were very helpful... This restaurant has a very relaxing atmosphere and price friendly food! read more

I have eaten here before and just ordered sushi and appetizers which were all very good - I should have gone that route again. Unfortunately on this visit we order entrees and I have to say I was very disappointed. I ordered the Shrimp Thai Basil and it was not good. On the positive side, the shrimp and the asparagus in the dish were not overcooked. But that's where the positive comments end. The dish was way too salty and the sauce was thick and overpowering to say the least, similar to what you'd find in a bad Chinese restaurant. My friend ordered a beef dish (cannot recall the name of the dish), but she had the same comments - too salty, too much thick overpowering sauce. The service was decent and the place itself is nice, but would not recommend ordering an entree here. read more

My wife and I stopped in here on a whim on a Sunday afternoon. We really appreciate GOOD sushi! We were a little skeptical because the rating was under 4 stars but we thought we would give it a shot, and we were not disappointed. The seaweed salad was fresh and tasty. The crab wontons were filled with real crab meat and cream cheese and were very flavorful. The sushi rice was well made, which means that the roll will not fall apart halfway from the plate to your mouth. The ingredients in the rolls were fresh and of high quality. My wife ordered a side of vegetable fried rice and we both agreed that it was good but the flavors were more subtle than we prefer. The food was great, the service was awesome, and the price was right! The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because of the fried rice and I believe the sushi rolls could use a little tweaking (the rice needs more vinegar and they were a little on the small side.) If it were possible I would have given Miyo's 4.5 stars. read more

6/14/17 was my third time eating at the Miyo's on Bowers Parkway here in Columbia SC. I enjoyed my first two visits. The sushi was good and the service was ok. On my third visit I ordered the spider roll. To me the crab was fried way to hard... and the flavor also was not good. I hate sending food back but I did because it was not enjoyable. My server takes it to the back and within about 6 minutes I believe the owner comes out. I explain to her what was wrong and she begins to explain to me the differences in shrimp tempura and soft shell crab tempura and that soft shell crab is fried differently and is supposed to be hard like that. I go on to say either way I did not like the flavor and would like to trade it out for a roll of equal value.( I'd only eating 1 1/2 pieces of sushi) She then goes on to ask me if I am going to pay for both rolls? I let her know that if that's the case I want neither and she goes back to the back. She comes back and tells me that she took the spider roll off of my order but then goes on to say "you've already had enough to eat so I will not be giving you the shrimp tempura roll" gesturing to the fried calamari APPETIZER that was shared between me and my friend. How dare her. There has never been a time I've gone to a restaurant and the owner/manager has not accommodated what I asked for. I am very disappointed . Not only does she own the miyos on bower parkway but I believe she also owns M Kitchen on columbiana drive and M Vista downtown. I will never spend a dollar in any of these places again not because the service was bad but because the owner was flat out rude. No customer service skills whatsoever. read more

from reading the posted reviews, it looks like some diners feel miyos is a restaurant they would return to. our family's experience was such a nightmare, if miyos offered us free dining for a year, it would not make up for the the treatment, the service, and food we were served on 12/22/12. i am posting my review as a ''buyer's beware of miyos''. we reserved the large room at the front of the restaurant for a very special occasion. as soon as we walked into the room, you could feel how chilly it was. we let the front desk, as well as our waiter, know how cold and uncomfortable the room was. we were told that room is always much colder that the rest of the restaurant because they only had one heating unit to service the entire restaurant; and, if they had wanted to try to get that room warm, they would have needed to put the heat up about 3 hours before the guests arrived!! we had reserved the before the day we came for dinner... yet they left the room cold. had they cared about making the room comfortable to dine in, the miyos management had more than enough time. the indifference and lack of caring was very sad. the waiter knew his tip was included as a straight percentage. he took advantage of our families and slaked-off. he was very unattentive, which added to our discomfort. we had to go track him down in the main dining room to get him to fill drink orders, and again to take our food order, and once again to serve us the desserts. it was totally disheartening for us to be treated as the miyos staff and management treated us. although we tried hard to try to grin and bear the abuse, i feel it is only fair to warn people about the uncaring and shoddy way we were treated. it is my hope that you will not be caught up in the ''catch 22'' situation they put is in. it was my son's engagement day party, and the first time he was able to bring both of the families together to meet!! we should not have had to meet under such uncomfortable circumstances. i wonder if the owner, ms. michele wang, would have treated her parents and her perspecive in-laws' family in such an inhospitable manner? i sincerely doubt she would subject them, or friends, to that cold room, the poor service, and the mediocre food. if you have a special occasion in mind, i am glad ''yelp'' gave me the opportunity to warn you to avoid miyos at harrbison... because there just have to be many of other restaurants that will not mistreat you the way miyos at harrbison mistreated us. i wish ''yelp'' offered a zero star choice... and sadly,we can't have that evening back to fix it. hoping the upcoming wedding will help us make new and wonderful memories! ps. i just noticed that gilchrist had a very bad experince with the owner. here i was wishing during our horrible experience that she was available. but, now i realise it would have possibly made the dining experience ''even worse''! read more
