Steak Miya — Restaurant in Hachinohe

3/20/24 update: Attached is a picture of the 2800 yen special steak that was supposed to be "Well done". It is the worst steak I've ever had in my life. 50% was fat and the rest looked like it was washed in a laundromat. Astoundingly bad food.

Update: Still pretty bad, very bad value per dollar (er yen). Do NOT get the fondue, it's the most horrendous chocolate fondue I've ever had. Very bad chocolate quality.

One of the worst experiences I've had. Ordering was stressful, they talk way too much even for a Japanese restaurant. You can't swap other meats for chicken, i.e if you get a dish that's 200g hamburger and 200g chicken you can't opt for 400g chicken, even if you pay extra. Also, this is a steakhouse but they DO NOT cook steak medium-rare or medium-well.... My well-done steak tips came back with one bloody red, I attached the picture above. You are given butter knives to cut the steak with. The chicken was not the worst but it was bland, though cooked properly. You are not allowed to take ANY food home, which seems to be common in Japan. I...

Very nicely kept modern decor interior. The food was just OK, not amazing or bad. I wasn't too impressed by their steak or garlic rice. Rather stick with Pepper Lunch (900¥) in Shimoda Mall or even the Yakiniku joint (3000¥) two buildings up the street for my steaks. The fruit parfait dessert was amazing on the other hand. Paid about 2500-3000¥ for the sirloin, all-you-can-eat garlic rice, and fruit parfait. They seem to be pushing customers toward their set menus and all-you-can-eat or drink items. Good place to grab a dessert and chat...

It was okay. Definitely overpriced when you compare it to similar experiences like that of Ikanari which is much better value for the price.

Portion of Filet was abysmal and sad. Location substituted Baked Potato for something akin to wedges.

Most entertaining part of the evening was their serving...
