"Dined here on the evening of 3/16]]Thank you to my BD for finding Miyakko Japanese Cuisine and making the decision to come here for dinner.The restaurant is quite small but comfortable spacious enough IMO. There were 2 servers manning the restaurant and they both seemed to tag team when it came down to taking orders assisting patrons needs. CAGE was the server who primarily assisted us throughout our meal- this review is more so directed towards him. Don't be overwhelmed but the menu here is massive. There are pages and pages of Japanese traditional foods, sushi options, and assorted appetizers. We decided on: Nigiri Deluxe 9pc chef choice assorted nigiri], 2 Item Dinner Bento w/ teriyaki salmon california rolls], Star Roll, Under The Sea Roll, Wakame Salad seaweed].Food:Our meal came out fairly quickly and thanks to Cage's honest assessment, I refrained from order another roll or two. Our table was kind of a tight squeeze once everything was brought out. Each meal starts off with a house salad and some miso soup- both very tasty. The dinner bento box came with 3 mini sides tofu, seaweed salad, a pickled radish/cucumber dish]. Bonus point simply for that- not only did it add to the presentation but the sides complimented the entree very well. The highlight of the meal was the 9pc nigiri deluxe which included uni a plump scallop. Everything was fresh, had a clean finish, and portions were great. Wakame salad was too watery and too sweet for my tastebuds- wouldn't order that again. Under The Sea Roll Star Roll were both delicious but if I had to chose between the two, UTS is an total knock out!! Shout out to Cage for making our meal THAT MUCH MORE amazing and bonus points for him recognizing my daughter's small sign language gestures!! He was extremely attentive, patient, and extremely kind throughout the meal. Any all requests that were made was welcomed with a smile. 5/5 stars for both Cage the quality foods that Miyakko serves!! I'd come back in a heartbeat and you best believe I'm going for that nigiri again!!!"

"This review is regarding my visit (07/20/18) at 7pm. The hostess was extremely friendly and sat us down promptly. Immediately after taking our seats, my party and I felt very warm. Apparently we weren't the only ones because several people from the tables in our section were fanning themselves with their menus. Our hostess told us there was a slight issue with the AC and that they were working on it. No big deal. Or so I thought. It just seemed to get warmer and warmer. We placed a pretty large order with a strategy. First the three apps, then the first round of sushi (four rolls), then the second round of sushi after that (another three rolls). Our server was amazing and he placed the order exactly the way we asked. Super attentive and friendly. Well, it was a good thought while it lasted because everything wound up coming to our very small table at the exact same time. Still, we're a creative bunch and we made it work. No big deal. Now, here's where I really took issue. The fish on the rainbow roll I ordered wasn't cold. That really bothered me because I'm super picky about sushi and I kinda have this thing where I like raw fish to be cold. Then I tried the barbecue beef ribs. They were so bland. I then tried the dragon roll and was severely disappointed. The unagi tasted like butane and I couldn't continue eating it. The Alaskan roll was assembled lazily and it was literally falling apart when it came to my table. We had to use a spoon to pick up and piece because it couldn't hold its shape! Now, I can forgive a lot of things but I have a big problem when the food I'm paying for isn't up to par. On every other occasion I've been to this location, the food was amazing. Tonight was just a fluke, I suppose. I'm not the only one in my party who thought so. It was super warm in their and the food was such a disappointment that we all decided to leave. TL;DR Restaurant was warm, raw fish not cold, food didn't taste the same, so we left for another restaurant."
