This Miyaki location looks super fancy from the outside, and the interior doesn’t disappoint—beautiful lighting, decor, and a chic vibe. We were greeted warmly at the front; service was friendly overall.
That said, there are a few things that need some attention. The fruit bar upstairs really needs to be covered—we noticed a few fruit flies, which isn’t appetizing. The veggie selection was limited, and there were so many types of mushrooms… which made us wonder what would happen if someone was allergic.
For hygiene, please consider using disposable cups at the drink bar. Also, the tables are way too small for all the dishes that come with an all-you-can-eat setup—it got cramped quickly.
We went with the Silver Tier, and while the beef was fresh, the portion was tiny. The tom yum broth was way too creamy—felt more like a curry hotpot. The spicy miso broth was also bland, which was disappointing. Seafood was fresh, but the clams were tiny and the fish slices were thinner than my hair.
We were a party of 3, spent nearly $300, and only had 90 minutes per table. Thing is, the server spent about 30 minutes explaining the menu, and it took forever for the pot to heat up. By the time we were eating, we were already being reminded (multiple times, in front of others!) that our time was almost up. Maybe a timer on each table would help make things less awkward—we definitely felt rushed, and hotpot is meant to be a slow, social meal.
Would I come back? Honestly, not at this price. If they bring down the cost and improve the service flow, maybe. But until then, it’s a no from me.
