Miyako Buffet & Sushi Restaurant Review

Ah yes---I got my appetite back and gained weight this week---back to the battle!! (7 of the above pictures---the plates & bowls were just some of what I ate!!) Upfront I have to tell you I am not a sushi lover (though they have 2-3 cooked shrimp dishes in the sushi section) so I really can't say anything about it. I did try a vegetable sushi and after one bite that was it. I am a lover of all other food and I went to town. Yes, large peel 'n eat them shrimp, chicken wings, oysters on the half shell, mussels, mussels and more mussels, fried shrimp, popcorn shrimp---if I continued to tell you what I ate that would be the whole review! :O) (If you want to know I have 19 pictures to show you of just what I ate!) Most of the hot food was hot and the cold food was cold but the pasta dishes weren't and a couple of the other dishes I wouldn't have again. I found the hibachi foods really in sad shape--the meat should be cooked fresh not just laying there. (I am not even sure if it was beef or ?????) The desserts are very varied and, mostly good, ranging from ice cream to chocolate cookies to many different pastries. I gave it 4 stars because there were a couple of negatives ranging from the hibachi to missteps in service (as far as I was concerned, but that's me!) though our server was very pleasant and good at replenishing drinks. I, personally, would like a variety of clean forks for the many varied foods without having to ask for them, along with a bowl to put all the mussel, oyster and clam shells. All in all, I would recommend it and I heard a lot of good comments from the sushi lovers around me. There are COVID rules all around but most customers ignored them. The staff (except for the host/hostess & cashier, and many of those refilling empty food pans) mainly the servers wore masks and no one that I observed---staff and customers--observed the 6 feet apart rule.

Most was good--buffets are hard to keep food warm but I noticed they didn't fill the pans up too high so they had to bring out fresh food more often

I like your hearts collage of food! I have not been to those buffets in eons. Usually amongst the good eats, there are some not so good stuff . . . at least you can pick and choose what you want. I don't doubt about people ignoring covid rules . . . seems like the social distancing thing went out the door. Glad you got your appetite back and you got to chow down all that food!!

I am a person who enjoyed trying all kinds of food but I have never ever tried sushi and do not know if I would or would not enjoy it, I do love all kinds of fish and shellfish and especially smoked lox.

I have really been on a shrimp splurge lately-- having it 3-4 times a week. Mainly just steamed.

You had a nice time restaurant hopping. I had a shopping trip, no breakfast. The bus was coming in 10 min so, I decided in a quick french fries & unsweetened iced tea. Gobbled it up, in 7 min, dashed back to the bus stop, and made my bus. So hungry, so good and first food at fastfood restaurant, in 2 yrs! I kept my face shield on, home tested negative.
