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.

What kind of memory do you think I have for places I've only seen once on video? He hasn't been down there all that long, but he's shown some beaches in Miami and Miami Beach, public transit to Fort Lauderdale, streets/bards with many shops and eateries, just general walking tours. I know you live near water, but there seems to be so much of that around there that it doesn't pinpoint anything. They have minor draw bridges that are interesting, and boats moored along the street, but I don't remember the names of anything.

I heard that the Chinese buffet is open again. But the person I heard it from said she hadn't been there and I don't pay attention to hearsay in this case. But I am anxiously waiting for the opportunity to check it out! I didn't realize that Fort Lauderdale was quite as large as it seems to be until I watched the former New Yawker doing hia walking tours. But I still haven't seen any places you mention in your videos on his tours.
