Restaurant Miwa: Reviews & Ratings
Sevices and Meals are the best in Japanese cuisine. It's Aloha from the time you get there until you leave. Great variety for prices these days. Highly recommend and appreciation for their business.
First time at Miwa. It is one of the best local Japanese restaurants in Hilo. Extremely friendly staff. All the options you would like is familiar with Japanese cuisine. Nice simple decorations and layout. My new favorite when in Hilo.
Service and food was exceptional, had a business dinner and food was authentic and delicious. Fish selection and preparation of meals was done professionally. Chef came by to our table and I was able to ask him questions on preparation for specific dish he prepared, he was very detailed explaining and was passionate how he prepared the meals. Reservations recommended. Would definitely visit again and indulge in other selection. Keep up the amazing dishes.
Cute little restaurant that's a little hidden! Different types of combos, plates, and sushi to choose from. Combo plate also came with miso soup and seaweed.
Came here on a Friday around 6pm. Luckily we made a reservation because the wait was near an hour. Service was really good and they let us know that sushi orders would take a while so get it in early before and cooked items. Sushi order took about 30 minutes to fill and the pieces were fresh (salmon, toro, hamachi). Also got the three item combo which could have come with bigger proportions but the food was good. Service throughout the night was solid. Ambiance is quiet but very busy between 6-7pm then it got empty real quick.
The best Japanese food in Hilo. Very friendly staff. Never had a bad experience in the 30 plus years I've been coming here. Love this place!
It's hard to compare their fish to Japan, but I thought their fish was pretty fresh. I'm not sure if it was just flown in, but it was fresh enough for me. The uni was really fresh. I believe Hilo has a lot of uni so I think it's local uni. Their other fish wasn't the freshest I've eaten. The restaurant is clean, but not modern. The service was good. Their coconut pie was delicious!
