Miyako
-by Ann Marie

Miyako Japanese Steakhouse, located in Great Lakes Crossing serves authentic hibachi style food. The restaurant serves a variety of different hibachi dinners such as steak, chicken and seafood. They also serve sushi along with a great kids menu.

There is a peaceful and calming atmosphere in the restaurant. Each table holds approximately nine people with a flat bed cooker in the middle. Once food is ordered, the server brought soup and a salad to the table. The soup itself was a little on the salty side and the salad has a vinaigrette type dressing served.

After finishing the soup and salad, the hibachi chef came to the table with all the ingredients for the table's order. The chef entertains the guests, putting an egg on the flat bed and spinning it, then with his spatula tossing it into the air and not cracking it. He also created a huge flame from cooking oil and also separated the rings of an onion, stacking them to look like a volcano. The sesame chicken was cooked well and served with vegetables and fried rice. For about $13, the atmosphere combined with the amount of food is incredible. Miyako comes highly recommended.
