First off we almost skipped it as we are not a fan of this plaza but will say we are SO glad we didn't. Arrived at 4:50 on a Tuesday afternoon and not a table in sight. We signed in to wait behind another gentleman but then were offered the shushi bar which we accepted. I was shocked to learn they have been here for 2.5 years, truly mind blown. The server said there is almost always a wait and on the weekends can be close to 2 hours. Wow. We ordered 4 rolls and 2 deserts and were very satisfied with everything! Our favorite was the crappy salmon and the popcorn roll. The place was small but clean and cute. Loved the little details like the little cats as chip stick prop ups/holders. I thought the prices were super fair, food was incredible, service was incredible, we will for sure be back!!!!!

We ordered the Spicy Edamame, Angry Bird, Hotch Roll, and Gun Powder Roll. Our rolls came out in a…read moreboat with dry ice, while the table next to us got theirs on a bridge with cherry blossoms.

The sushi special was okay, the pieces of fish were kind of dry and stale? The pastel roll and angry bird were both good and saucy miso soup is kind of bland.

The egg was outstanding. Ordered some extra broth to go with my leftover ramen. It was that good. The nigiri I ordered was outstanding. Tobiko and Tomago. The Dragon Roll was great and high quality. The server was very attentive and three water refills later she didn't get tired of my water consumption. :) Overall this is a great find. I liked Pei Wei but alas it closed. This is a much better option.

They are generous with their wasabi paste and ginger. Their food comes out at an acceptable speed (not fast or slow). I really like that they offered flavored teas. They have a full bar as well. Parking is normally pretty open but there was a bunch of people waiting to see purple martins so it was packed. But we found a spot regardless. Our server was slow to actually take our orders and I had to ask multiple times for my tea, otherwise everything was good. That was really my only complaint.

Upon arriving it was a ghost town now my own fault i should of realized they were closing in 45min for lunch but being solo didn't feel I would be to long n it being empty I should of read the room n left but I heard some voices in the back n utensil clattering so i thought ok im not the only one (Yes my bad) no one greeted me , just standing awkward there was a worker at the bar (didn't work there, he greeted me lol n I was approached by a server eventually asking how many , now this would of been a perfect time for them to tell me they closing , kitchen is closed , no longer taking people n it would of been perfectly fine , I kick myself for just not taking the initiative and saying no thank you I can come back another day but I was so quickly seated didn't have the chance . I didn't feel welcome To the food ,.. looked as mold of some sort in the water glass (quickly fixed no fault on anyone) Beautiful spread of Banchans My fav were the braised potatoes n the Pajeon Soo good ! Now the bulgogi,.. Burt. at least the hot plate it was on Which ultimately make the food taste bitter n Burt as well,.. so as soon as I finished my banchan n rice I paid n left all with in 15 min . unfortunately this wasn't the me day experience I wanted again I take accountability on them almost closing but if ur going to seat me then I at least want to feel welcomed not a bother n food to be good , unfortunately this wasn't the case n I really wanted to love this place since I love Korean food -Prices were good for amount of food -Lots of options to pick from -Parking is plenty they even have no gym parking signs around incase I go at peak times - inside is super cute n open

Both of the sandos were perfect. The wagyu beef sando had a little bit more flavor but it was slight and both are worth trying. Every roll was enjoyable and I felt like each had a little twist that really made the flavors explosive, like a shaved onion or a crispy puff on the side of the roll. The service was stellar and they were easy to book on OpenTable I also tried the green tea mocktail and found it to be light and refreshing and I was happy that it wasn't super sweet My two favorite items were: 1. The Edamame - which were charred in a way that I feel like I've never experienced it before and had such great flavor. 2. The scallop roll had a thinly sliced shaved truffle on top that made the roll simple yet out of this world. Shout out to the manager who came by just to check in. I always think that is such a sweet gesture.

We indulged in some delicious lychee martinis topped with a lychee foam. Yum! For food, we ordered: 1. Hamachi Carpaccio - light, fresh and melt in your mouth good. I enjoyed the flavors on this one. 2. Chicken Karaage - breading was so delicious! We enjoyed a generous portion, served atop a tasty aioli for dipping. 3. Scallop roll - this was bursting with flavor. The truffle was such a unique addition! 4. Hamachi sashimi - I enjoyed this very much and particularly appreciated the thick sliced pieces of fish. Phenomenal flavors when paired with a little soy sauce. I will say this place is expensive and definitely more for a special occasion date night! Look forward to dining here again in the future.

I must have driven by this restaurant whenever I was on Parmer for like 15 years ... and never got…read morearound to going in. When I finally did, I discovered one of the best Japanese restaurants in Austin. Okay ... if you are going to pay $600 for an omikase then the omikase place is better. The tasting menu at Uchi is better. But if you just want Japanese without paying a gold brick and taking out a second mortgage on your house, Miyo Yakitori and Sushi is pretty damm fine. * * * a) Japanese curry is a utility dish in most Japanese restaurants ... and when you get down to it, in most Japanese homes. It is often what you serve on "cheap" night. Airport hotels offer it as the "free dinner" for tired travellers. The curry sauce itself here is standard issue. But they serve it with a Pork Katsu the size of Williamson county. And it is a very good Pork Katsu. That Katsu was good from Liberty Hill to Thrall and from Hester's Crossing to Jarrell. b) My carnivorous partner's Fireball Udon with Shellfish blew him away. Temperature wise and aesthetic pleasure wise. He raved about how good his udon was all the way home. c) Service was instantaneous. I think there was some sort of event horizon distortion of the space time continuum that allowed them to prepare the food and then go back in time and deliver it within a minute of it being ordered. Both of us were impressed. d) The service staff was as nice as any human beings could possibly be. * * * Great food. Great service. The folks who live in the apartment complex that Miyo is in are very lucky people indeed. Either the apartments are lovely and they get Miyo on top of that. Or the apartments are terrible, but they can still spend all their time in Miyo to compensate. Seems like a fair trade. **************** If you read the other reviews, There seems to be some controversy about this establishment. Miyo has fans and Miyo has haters. * * * Here is my read on the conflicting opinions: a) Earlier in the restaurant's history - Say about 2016, 17, or 18, The restaurant was not very good at all. I think at that time it had another name. b) There was a name change and quality went up. Sometimes when this happens there is an ownership change (or there is an owner who swaps out the management and cooking team to put in new blood.) However, things got fixed, they got fixed. c) Miyo's yakitori is apparently still not where it needs to be. I am not a huge Yakitori fan. If your broiled meat on a stick is not $80 an ounce Wagyu, Or amazing organ meats grilled in the Caucasus Barded with lamb fat and with farm fresh vegetables On another skewer for serious taste contrast ... If you are not at that high level, I don't want to pay for meat on a skewer. There are people who DO like Yakitori. They do NOT like the Miyo versions of that. * * * Yakitori is less than 20% of Miyo's menu. The rest is sushi or wonderful cooked dishes. Lay off the skewer food and you can do well here.

My daughter and I had lunch at Miyo on a recent weekday. The restaurant is located with a small…read moregroup of stores in front of an apartment complex along Parmer Lane. Parking for the stores is a quick right turn after driving into the complex. Seating is available both indoors and outside on a shady deck. This is not a large restaurant, but the menu is extensive. Many items are a la carte, but there are also full meals with several included sides. A 2-page lunch menu is at the back of the main menu. We opted for edamame to start, a few skewers of yakitori, and 2 lunch special bento boxes. We were amazed by the amount of food in the lunch bento boxes. On top of that, everything tasted fresh and was obviously freshly prepared. My salmon was way overcooked but the tasty teriyaki sauce made up for it. My daughter's pork looked fabulous and she was very pleased with her choice. I thought that pricing was very reasonable given the quality and portion size. We ended up taking food home. We thoroughly enjoyed our extended lunch and would not hesitate to return.
