What to Eat at Miyako, Hyatt Regency Dubai How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Miyako, Hyatt Regency Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Miyako, Hyatt Regency Dubai, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm payment. If booking through Zomato, confirm the offer and payment method directly before arriving; one advance booking ended with the full bill charged.
Reserve teppanyaki. Book the teppanyaki table clearly in advance and reconfirm it, since one diner arrived after booking but did not get that table.
Discuss rice. Tell the chef if you want rice cooked or served together with the teppanyaki; a group otherwise received the items one by one.
Check halal options. Ask about suitable dishes before ordering if you avoid pork, as a reviewer said much of the menu was not halal-friendly.
Allow time. Leave extra time for teppanyaki, especially on busy occasions: one Christmas dinner waited two hours for the experience.

Common Concerns
Slow service
Service can be very slow: one family waited almost an hour for food, while another teppanyaki dinner took two hours.
Offer dispute
A diner said a listed Zomato offer and payment option were declined at the restaurant despite an advance booking.
Halal limits
The menu includes many pork dishes, so halal diners may find that only part of the selection suits them.
Uneven dishes
Although sushi and sashimi receive strong praise, reviews also mention tough tonkatsu, tough pork and disappointing hot pot.
Missed theatrics
The live cooking experience is not always a full fire-and-flame show, which disappointed one guest.

The Bottom Line
Miyako is a traditional-leaning Japanese restaurant in Deira at Hyatt Regency Dubai, built around a live teppanyaki counter, sushi and sashimi, and tatami-style seating. It suits a dinner where the cooking is part of the occasion, but the sushi and sashimi also stand on their own: reviewers specifically praise fresh sashimi, tuna cuts from Akami to Otoro, and a 40-piece sushi platter for two. Teppanyaki is the main event for many guests.
The chefs cook in view, set menus can reportedly be adjusted, and the table works well for groups or celebrations. A private room was described as comfortable and fun for larger gatherings. Prawn tempura, bento boxes, Tori Karaage Set and miso soup also receive useful dish-specific praise.
Families are welcome, although the pace is not always consistent. That inconsistency is the key caution. Some visits had fast, attentive service; others involved nearly an hour for food or a two-hour teppanyaki wait.
Confirm your table and allow time, particularly for busy events. If using Zomato, verify the payment terms before arriving, and ask about halal-friendly choices because the menu includes many pork dishes. One reported meal of a starter, main course, dessert and drink came to around 250 AED, so the setting and experience come at a considered price.
