The BEST sushi I've ever had! We were lucky to walk in and get seated right away. Def make a reservation or be flexible on time. -Salmon Oshi roll- known for their oshi rolls, the light burn on top gives this a unique flavor. -the red wave roll was part of their "traditional" sushi offering, but IMO was the best roll I've ever had. So flavorful and fresh. I need more!! - calamari - another hit! So light and fresh. Service was top notch and the place is beautiful! read more

This is a great place to enjoy fine dining, even with our toddler. I reserved the table in advance so that we would have a seat. The table we were seated at had a nice view. My boy loves looking at the view since there are many lights from the harbor. read more

As a long-time patron of Miku (over 15 years), I've witnessed the slow decline of the restaurant over the past 8 years. It's sad to see Miku lose its former glory. it's unlikely that I will go back at this point. Front staff - 1 star - unable to seat reservations or read reservation notes (ex: table, not booth or bar). Sadly this is consistent for about 8 years, pointing to an overall lack of basic training. Wait staff - 2 stars - undertrained and overworked - It took over 10 minutes to get to our table after we were seated, and the food arrived about 40 minutes later. It was evident that the order had been placed promptly, but it sat in the kitchen for so long that it became soggy. The staff seemed to be preoccupied with other tasks and didn't even bother to ask if we wanted another cocktail after we finished our first one. Food - 4 stars - no longer top quality - Vancouver is cut throat for Asian cuisine and Miku is no longer able to hold its place with ingredient quality. read more

I was pretty excited coming into this dinner reservation, hoping to get some good quality fresh sushi during my time here in Vancouver. Things started off on a negative note when I placed my order and the server came back to let me know that they had already ran out of the otoro, which was going to make up a majority of my nigiri order. Then about 5 minutes later, the server came back with some more bad news--they were also out of the king salmon, which was my next biggest quantity fish I ordered. At this point, I'm already digging into my crispy brussel sprouts appetizer so I'm caught very off guard and I was put in an awkward situation as I had to redo 75% of my nigiri order at this point and fill it with other choices that I didn't necessarily want. Honestly wanted to leave at this point but was already served food. I understand freshness and stuff and you run out of items, but running out of probably the two most popular items on the menu with a couple of hours left until closing is unacceptable. What's ironic is that the fish they did have still and served didn't even feel like it was "that fresh" for them to be running out of fish like this. I was burping up a fishy taste the rest of the night, which is always a sign to me of lower quality fish. They were nice enough to somehow "discover" that they had two pieces of otoro somewhere in the back and gave them to me free of charge, so I appreciate the gesture and it's the reason why I am giving two stars, and not one. read more

Miku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The food was spectacular. Classic items paired with just the right amount of changes. The sauces, layering and cooking all added their own unique flavours but never took away from the anchor of the dish. The service was exceptional and very helpful with explaining each dish, what the flavours were, and what they thought we would appreciate. I couldn't be happier. read more

The food here was great, albeit expensive. The view and ambience is amazing, especially if you can get a window seat overlooking the ocean. I would recommend the Miku signature selection. read more

This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience! The attention to detail and level of service is unmatched! We had a reservation which made getting great seats easy. We were under the care of the very kind, experienced, and knowledgeable bartender who offered us very detailed information about the popular drinks, dishes, and how the chef makes sushi. I'm talking about, ideologies and everything. If you're a good lover, you will truly appreciate this experience. Everything we ordered was amazing! The atmosphere is very vibrant and buzzing with everyone having a good time while enjoying fine dishes. read more

Fantastic higher-end sushi. We parked in the garage near the harbor and it was a quick walk to Miku. The interior was cute and had a nice view of the water. We went around lunch time and snagged a reservation a few hours before. We each ordered a drink and some kind of special. We got the Lunch Signature Shokai, Traditional Sushi Lunch and Sashimi Sushi Lunch. The Signature Shokai was absolutely amazing. I was impressed with how much you get. The appetizers were tempura shrimp and some sort of steak and mash potatoes. The flavor was great and the fish tasted so fresh. There was one in the Traditional Sushi Lunch that tasted very fishy. Some people may find it too strong and ocean-y. Overall, happy we went! read more

Ambience: 5/5 - My bf and I had reservations for this place to try their set menu. Upon arrival, I noticed that the interior was really spacious and was overlooking the water. There was individual table seatings and bar seating, which is where we sat. Service: 5/5 - The service was amazing here, I loved our waitress. I unfortunately forgot her name but she was from Australia. She explained every dish that we got and at the end, even let us try a sample of their matcha dessert from their other menu because we were curious about it. Food: 5/5 - We got their Miku Kaiseki menu and it was so worth it! All the dishes that we got were delicious, unique, and left you full by the end of the course. My favorite would probably be the Hokkaido Scallop Tart, the sushi and sashimi, and the octopus, but everything was exceeded expectations. Overall, this is probably the best dining experience I've had while visiting Vancouver. The service was great and the food was spectacular. The location is also convenient, as you can take a nice stroll around the area too. I definitely recommend coming here if you get the chance! read more

Vibes and staff immaculate but food ok! Everything was presented beautifully but the taste itself was alright. My friend and I got the: Surf & Turf Roll ($24) - 3.5/5 - It was inded a roll Sashimi Platter ($35) - 3/5 - Medicore quality fish Miku Signature Selections ($32) - 3/5 The aburi oshi was different but just a lot of rice Green Tea Opera ($16) - 4/5 - This was like a matcha Ferrero Rocher so very yummy and the matcha ice crem that came with it was solid! I would get this again. Blueberry Osmanthus Vacherin ($16) - 2/5 - Beautifully presented but the actual item was OK like I would not get this again; the osmanthus was a small jelly and the blueberry yogurt sake ice cream was not as special as I thought it would be. We got a variety of their menu for sushi and I fear it was just OK in terms of uniqueness and fish quality/freshness. I heard that there's other things on the menu that would've been a better pick so maybe we just got the wrong things but if this place is known for sushi, I would hope that they have good sushi. read more

Ordering the Waterfront and Miku Kaisekis was a right choice! Chef selected everything with artistic presentation. It's located in front of the water, with the convention center lights and view. It was a great experience as usual -- here has become the must-go every time I'm in Vancouver. I found a tiny bone in the sashimi and the attentive staff replace it right away. Appreciated! read more

Very good, high quality fish and excellent dessert. Let me start off with mentioning that I wish I ordered a plate of just oishi pressed salmon aburi. The special nigiri set only came with one and many weeks later I regret not ordering just a plate of that. I wish I went back the next day just for this reason haha The fish quality is very good, fresh and buttery. Definitely try it out, but I'm kicking myself for not getting more of the salmon aburi, that was simply excellent. I was extremely full from the nigiri set, the sides were very tasty read more

Wife wanted to try their dessert so we went there for a small meal. The desserts were definitely great but the sushi were surprisingly good too. Service was a bit slow likely due the restaurant being very full. We were sitting by the window and was able to get some sea view which was nice. read more

Sushi is really better in Vancouver! I've had friends tell me that this is the best sushi place in North America, and it didn't disappoint! All the fish was extremely fresh, and beautifully presented. They touted their pressed sushi which was rectangular in shape, and they were pretty good! We ordered the set menus and each course was presented beautifully. The fish was extremely fresh, and there was a mix of more modern and more traditional styles of sushi. The dessert was a delight too! For its price, this is definitely more than worth it. Though we were only able to get bar seating, the views of the harbour were amazing! read more

My wife, our youngest daughter, and I had lunch at Miku today and unfortunately had a concerning experience. We ordered three lunch specials and initially everything seemed fine. The location is beautiful and the presentation of the food was very good. However, one item stood out -- the tuna maki tasted noticeably fishy. Later that day, all three of us experienced multiple bouts of diarrhea after the meal. Because of this, I called the restaurant to let them know. The manager asked me to send an email to info@miku.ca, saying they take these situations seriously. I did send the email and hope they will follow up with me. For context, we have also eaten at their sister restaurant Minami several times and in our experience the food quality there has been better, and we have never gotten sick after dining there. Again, the setting and service were good, but this was a disappointing experience given the reputation of the restaurant. I'm hopeful management will follow up and look into what may have happened read more

Absolutely delighted by a new form of sushi I got to try at Miku, aburi oshi, or seared and pressed sushi! The salmon oshi was unlike anything I've tried. Creamy yet light and fresh, I could have eaten plate after plate of these. Our server was awesome as well, steering us in the right direction. Don't miss out on this restaurant in the heart of Yaletown. read more

DELISH!!! We came here for our anniversary and booked through Open table to mention my shellfish allergy, and they were SO accommodating. They were able to tweak some of the platter items to fit my shellfish allergy, and they made the whole experience magical. We got a nice view with our seat overlooking the water. The food is phenomenal here. This was my first time trying Aburi style sushi, and it was to die for. This is the definition of perfectly seared fish that gives you that hint. It was also my first time trying fresh wasabi and it was done so delicately that I actually enjoyed it so much. Overall, what a great spot to try and a must add if you're ever in the area. read more

If you're looking for sushi perfection, Miku is where you'll find it. The omakase selection was flawless, with every piece showcasing freshness, balance, and technique. I don't say this lightly--this was some of the best sushi I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Everything from the melt-in-your-mouth sashimi to the beautifully plated rolls was worth every bite. You can tell they take their craft seriously, and it shows in the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail. If you're in Vancouver and love sushi, just go. It's worth it, every single time. read more

Miku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

It was a nice cold day and I really wanted to have a sort of picnic vibe for our afternoon. My partner and I decided to walk along the waterfront and grab some sushi to go from this location to have in our own leisure. We ordered the "Miku Waterfront Bento", which came with a large variety of aburi sushi as well as some non-sushi bites as well. Overall, from the service at pick up to actually getting to enjoy the sushi, everything was pretty great. Each dish was nice and flavorful and I would definitely do that again. Being able to stroll and have some premium sushi is awesome, but I am sure dining in would also be amazing. read more

Miku is exceptional! I made a reservation and the host was lovely. We were welcomed with a lovely booth for our party which was much appreciated. I've visited several times, and every time the service has been impeccable; my water glass was always promptly refilled, and the server was available with recommendations and answers to any questions. The sushi is phenomenal. I love the ebi oshi and salmon oshi, both prepared to perfection. I also tried the Miku roll, which was fantastic, and the crispy Brussels sprouts and tasty ebi fritters were amazing too. They also had a special dine in menu in the occasion of Valentine's Day and it looked promising. Beyond the food, the ambiance at Miku is elegant and airy, making it a truly memorable time. They also have earned the Michelin guide accolades which they deserve. And don't forget to save room for dessert; the green tea opera cake is phenomenal. I highly recommend Miku read more

Came here for my birthday a few years ago and decided to come back again while visiting this year and it did not disappoint either times. Between the engaging staff who checked in on us and gave us referrals to just how deliciously made everything was, I'd come back here every single time I visit Vancouver. The mocktails were refreshing, especially the shiso spritz that my friend got. We got the brussels sprout chips as a starter along with King salmon and otoro nigiri (since they weren't in the Miku signature selection that day). Food came out super fast too. The Miku selection our day had the Salmon and Ebi Oshi, albacore, hamachi and scallop nigiri, Miku roll and I forgot the other one as I didn't take a photo of the menu and it looks like they might change it seasonally? Overall I highly recommend getting it to sample their top items! We didn't think this was enough food with the Miku signature selection but we were full by the end of our meal and were glad we got to walk off the food back to our hotel. I loved that the restaurant is right by the water and where we sat in the back had open windows so lots of natural lighting. Aside from the table next to us having a screaming child where the parents didn't do anything about it, the atmosphere was great. read more

This is a must stop if you are ever in the Vancouver area. Made reservations to make sure we had a table. Atmosphere is classy and modern. Dress is dressy/ casual. Started with a lovely bottle of Sake that the server recommended. For app we had both the Soft-Shell Crab and grilled octopus. Both these dishes were amazing, I loved them both and they paired well together. Then we had to order the Oshi Sampler because they apparently invented this type of square pressed sushi that is torch cooked. It cones with 2 of each salmon, ebi and saba oshi. All three were equally buttery and flavorful! These are a must get if you eat here. Last we tried a special roll and it was very good, but was just outshined by the Oshi Sampler. we were too full for dessert, but next time I will try to save room. read more

We honestly didn't know where to go while on our trip to Vancouver on a random Tuesday. We were pleasantly surprised by this place. It was so delicious!!! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and epic. The chef said to eat what I ordered without soy sauce, which I normally don't do. Of course I listened and wow I'm glad I did. It was perfectly seasoned and needed nothing added to it. Thanks Chef! Oh and to top it all off, you have the most glorious view of the ocean. What more could you ask for? read more

Miku - Japanese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We scheduled a reservation for 6:30 PM and ordered the Miku Kaiseki for $180 per person. We were seated towards the back section of the restaurant with a stunning view of the Waterfront. There was plenty of waitstaff and the Miku Kaiseki course meal was served with perfect timing despite how busy the restaurant was. Starting with the Ebi Toast, I was surprised that the ebi (shrimp) was raw. This was definitely a different take on what I expected of ebi toast and it was absolutely delicious. The flavours were delicate yet flavourful. The toast portion was nice and crispy. I would order this by itself if I could. Moving onto the sashimi, the selection was nice with the tuna, hamachi, otoro and scallop. The fish was fresh but otherwise, very standard sashimi. However, the presentation of this selection was stunning. My camera was unable to capture it's full beauty. The next dish was the octopus with the silken tofu emulsion. The octopus itself was fragrant, lightly battered and crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside. The silken tofu emulsion added a mellow and refreshing flavour to the octopus but it wasn't a must-have to enjoy this dish. After, we had the Hirame Crudo. The fish was firm with a delicate smoky flavour while the presentation was stunning. The next dish that was presented was the Iwate A5 Wagyu Steak. It was served with asparagus and potato espuma. The potato espuma was like a very silky mashed potato. The steak itself was cooked to perfection. Juicy, savoury and melts in your mouth. Absolutely a pleasure to have in this Kaiseki. To finish things off with the savoury portion, there were 5 pieces of handcrafted aburi nigiri sushi. Each piece of sushi was excellent however the unagi one was my favourite. As for desserts, we were told that we could order the same dessert or something different. We each picked something different to try. Both desserts were amazing (Hojicha Pineapple Tres Leches and Green Tea Opera Cake). The Hojicha Pineapple Tres Leches was a very soft dessert overall but the flavours were amazing. The Green Tea Opera Cake definitely had a crunchy element and tasted good with or without the ice cream. Both desserts had the right level of sweetness. Overall, the Miku Kaiseki was an incredible experience filled with great food that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The $180 price tag may seem steep but it includes an unforgettable experience at an amazing restaurant. read more

u must try sushi in vancouver!! some of the best spots for seafood in north america! miku was recommended by chatgpt (yes, literally)! this plc exceeded all expectations. minimal wait , we were lucky with outdoor seating right by the waterfront. miles far from ur everyday sushi, higher end and def for special occasions. FOOD: ordered warm jasmine tea, then split four rolls amongst four ppl. the SPECIALTY SURF TURF ROLL was to die for ! the truffle sauce was just delicious and the thinly cut wagyu was fatty. the red wave roll was phenomenal as well. u could immediately distinguish the quality of the meat/seafood and the sauce seals the deal. rice is sticky and perfectly seasoned. do order nigiri and the iconic samplers. SERVICE: all rolls weren't served with ginger, soy sauce, wasabi. our waiter was funny, open to recs, and asked us how to speak vietnamese. he was funny and served fast and accordingly. read more

The place: a little hard to find, but once you get up the stairs, it's an awesome and expansive space. Views of the water, the tourists, and of course the active kitchen. Service was excellent. Knowledgeable, informative, and things were well-paced - maybe slowed a little bit at the end, but overall, pretty fabulous. Pro-tip - order half rolls for half the price! We were so glad our server recommended this; we were able to try so many more things! The taste: I am still thinking about the buttery, silky salmon. I also LOVED the pickled mushrooms, as part of the pickled veggie app. We shared some salmon, mackerel, and the surf and turf roll. Everything was excellent. We couldn't finish the Brussels chips, but they were very tasty. My face: huge smile. Was WAY cheaper than we expected 1. Bc of the of exchange rate 2. Because of the half rolls. I think the final bill came out to just under $100 Canadian dollars. Well worth it. read more

We came to Vancouver on a day trip and I have been wanting to try Miku ever since I saw their unique style of sushi that's pressed into a rectangle and then seared. The waitress explained that it was called Aburi Oshi and that it was their signature style of sushi and the rest of the menu explanation was very helpful. We got the Salmon Oshi Sushi and Premium 12 piece sushi lunch which gave us a taste of almost everything. I liked the Salmon Oshi Sushi the most because the seared salmon on top and salmon in the middle of the pressed sushi created a good combo that was flavorful and a nice change from traditional nigiri. Great view of the water as well from our table. Overall I can say I'll be back to get more of the Aburi Oshi. read more

I asked for the best thing on the menu. Recommended to try an Oshi, which is described as a sushi but is flash grilled. Does that qualify as sushi? It was tasty. I liked the shrimp the best.

Loved the wagyu nigiri, salmon oshi sushi, and miso maple ice cream. Fantastic service too.

Miku is a beautiful restaurant with excellent service! Must try their Aburi sushi. My wife and I got the Premium Sushi Lunch and it was really good! 12 pieces included their Aburi Salmon, Aburi Ebi (Shrimp), Aburi Albacore (Tuna) and Aburi Hamachi, along with a chutoro spoon. The rectangular shape of their Oshi sushi was unique - what was missing was their sushi rice wasn't on point. Other than that, the value for what you get is fantastic and I'd recommend checking out Miku - reservations needed! read more
