So much sauce on everything. Sauce hides the freshness and quality. Bait and switch for daily…read morespecials. Be warned. I've never really been a fan of sumo sumo. I've went there plenty of times and have always been disappointed. Either portions were small, food wasn't fresh or the dishes were drenched in sauce to the point I couldn't taste the fish. On my visit on a Thursday. I wanted to try their Thursday special (salmon or beef tataki for $12). I was refused bc it was 330pm and it wasn't until after 4pm. There was no indication on websites or menu this was not a daily special but rather just an evening special on thursdays. Pretty misleading. So I opted to try their sushi tacos since I love them from taco nori in vancouver and have been hunting for them here in edmonton area. I ordered three of them. The spicy salmon, the rock crab and the Joe's special. I was ordering from the taco menu and was specifically mentioned that I just wanted tacos. And for whatever reason the waitress bought me out a Joe's special roll which is double the price of what I actually ordered. I refused the bait and switch and requested I get what I actually ordered. I wasn't too happy at this point and just wanted to leave. But to top it off. Within 20 min of eating I had serious food poisoning which really made me question how fresh everything actually was. It tasted great. But handling or storage or something was off to make me get food poisoning and that happens pretty rarely to me. The food was decent and I actually loved the Joe's special taco because it tasted amazing. But km not entirely sure I would want to come back because of bait and switch scheme going on. I gave this place so many chances to redeem themselves but it just disappoints me every single time.

Good deals for each day of the week and specials during different events, such as Oilers game day! The layout is nice, each table has its own space, doesn't feel like you're sitting on top of anyone. Great decor. However, where this place lacks is its service. Be prepared to be there for a while. Even to get the first round of drinks or get an order in, takes quite a while. Great date night spot!

So this review is a bit late but thought I should still write it as my Dad (who only ever really…read moreenjoys eating steak and potatoes or sometimes a pizza) thought this was a good enough restaurant to return to. So what made it that great that my dad would give it such a high review? First, if you've never seen an advertisement for this place, prepare yourself for ongoing talking and some well rehearsed comedy from the chefs. There literally is a live cooking show being done with your meals right in front of you. This combination of humour and meal prep was a big hit for my family (the 5 of us were constantly commenting on how things were being cooked, what was new to us and encouraging the ongoing trials of the fork toss plus the salt and pepper tossing trick by the chef). Second, it might be a Japanese place but they have steak! You may have guessed with my intro but that was an important decision factor in choosing a restaurant. We wanted a different place for the early Christmas family gathering but something everyone could enjoy. Third, they're very diligent about respecting allergies. My sister-in-law gets very ill with her allergies. So it's nice not having to worry. They set her food specifically on one area of the grill and no other food was ever placed there. Hers was never combined with the rest of ours either. They also had a different soup for her to enjoy and did a vinaigrette on her salad instead of the house dressing. The food itself is a decent price for a fine dining experience and what you get with the dinner. There's soup, salad, grilled shrimp, grilled veggies and whatever you choose as your main. All with great flavour and you get two different dipping sauces - one being better for meat and other with vegetables. Obviously if you select the options of more seafood to accompany the main piece of the meal, the price is more expensive. We all kept it pretty simple. Two with shrimp dinners, two with New York steaks and one with teriyaki beef. We were all quite happy with our portions and if you feel you need extra rice, they will bring more out. If you have saved a bit of room, there's lots of dessert options too but that comes with an additional price. I really was quite happy with that large selection of mocktails to try but for those that want it, there's a large selection of mixed alcoholic drinks, wine, beer, etc. The place is accessible from the outside doors to the grill tables and even though my brother struggles to see in dim lighting, there's enough random lighting that we found a well lit spot at the table for him. I liked that I didn't have to watch for random levels or steps. There are a few booths throughout the restaurant for those that maybe want a more secluded meal but there's no grills for those spots. So after such a glowing review, why am I only giving it 4 stars? Well as I had booked ahead of time and specifically gave a number of 5 people for the reservation, it would have been nice to know we would not have anything started to be cooked, nor our meal order taken until they fill the rest of the table around the grill. If I had that information, I could have easily invited a couple of friends to join. However as this came to us as surprise, it meant even though we didn't know who was joining us, we were forced to awkwardly wait over 15 min to have them arrive and then start giving our order when they were ready. At least some of the drinks had made it out by then but the place was starting to fill up so the noise level was increasing. Luckily for us my mom randomly know the couple that was sat at our grill table but there were parts of the dinner you could tell they would have enjoyed having their own time as a couple (as I'm quite sure they weren't informed they'd be part of a bigger table being that they were surprised that my mom thanked them for arriving on time so we can now order when they are ready). It would have also been a different experience for my family too without the combined table situation. I had to remind the chef who's steak was being prepared due to the over eager guy wanting a well done steak the same time as a medium rare... Things eventually got served to everyone but only because I spoke up, I was able to get near to what I had requested (glad that my dad at least got his medium rare) even though everyone had reconfirmed orders when the chef was placing the meat on the grill. Lastly, the noise in the restaurant was so high at the end of our meal that not only did my dad stop trying to have a conversation but so did the rest of us. So instead of savouring dessert, I ate it quickly as all I wanted was to pay the bill fast and just leave the noise. I've gone once before on a week night back in April and it was more manageable for noise level. This being due to not all grills were full nor was the restaurant as full.

My friend was celebrating her 50th birthday and her husband chose Japanese Village in Sherwood…read morePark. I didn't even know Sherwood Park has a Japanese Village and I hadn't been to one in about 15 years. We had 14 in our group but this wasn't an issue as we were all able to all sit around two grills with two grill cooks. Our server did a great job of taking our drink orders, filling up our water glasses and making sure we were happy. I personally started with a pint of their house beer and the Tuna Sashimi. Both were tasty. For my main course I had Teppan - Yaki Dinner (Teriyaki Chicken) It came with soup, salad and green tea. Our grill cook was a nice young man who brought a smile to our face and kept us chuckling. For the value, I was happy with my meal, the price I payed and the fun interacting with our cook. I would definitely go back with a group of friends.

This is a great restaurant with really fresh melt-in-your-mouth sushi. I've been here for lunch…read moreduring the week, and it's usually quite busy. The space is a medium-size. The layout's not that great, and I think they could've fit more tables in there to make it look better and fit more people. Having said this, it's a nice mix of modern and traditional, and what you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant. You can see the guys making your meal, which emphasizes the freshness factor. You can eat in or take out, and the prices are very reasonable. Bento boxes are under $10 and you can create your own bento dinner with rice, miso soup and salad with three other items for $18.95" - enough to share between 2 people. One thing that bugs me about ethnic restaurants is when one of their marketing muscles is there ethnicity and they choose to play the rock radio station in the back ground. If I go to a Japanese restaurant I want Zen waterfalls or Buddhists chiming, not The Bear. But all in all, I like Miyako. It's a great light lunch option that won't leave you stuffed - unless, of course, you overdose on tempura.

I was so disappointed. I went in for lunch with a girlfriend and ordered their sashimi lunch…read morespecial for 14$ and a few rolls. It was a fairly nice set up inside and they were playing Japanese music so I was pretty excited. I live in vancouver so i can really appreciate a quaint sushi joint. When we got our plates I was so disappointed. The salmon sashimi was so pitiful, the portion was 1/3 to1/2 the size it normally is supposes to be depending on the piece. They were so thin and unevenly cut that I went up to the waitress/owner? and asked her about it. She said that that was their portion size and there was nothing wrong with it. I proceeded to eat my rolls but I couldn't bring myself to eat the sashimi, it doesn't taste the same when it's poorly cut and thin. My friend got mediocre service but once I complained I didn't get any service for 30 minutes even though we were being obvious about wanting to leave. I'm very shy so this was very difficult for me: I told her I wouldn't pay for the sashimi and was then told never to come back. Don't worry, I'll never come back again or recommend it to anyone.
