Michelin should give Miro Kaimuki Hawaii's first Star - this was phenomenal! I can't say enough great things about how kind and attentive the GM, my server, and the entire kitchen staff was. I highly recommend eating here! read more

Miro Kaimuki has been on my radar for a long, LONG time. I've passed by it countless times--always curious what's inside as the shades are always down. I finally had a reason to go, and it did not disappoint! Miro has been in Kaimuki for almost 30 years. It's located at the corner of Waialae and 9th Avenue, next to Hawaii National Bank. Only open 5-9pm (closed on Tuesday). There's a weirdly configured parking lot with TIGHT spaces and a tight one way lane behind the building. Just cross your fingers people park within the lines.. You can park in the "bank only" spots as it's closed at that time. Reservations are recommended, and you can easily make them online. Inside is spacious and your usual contemporary look and feel. Tables were spaced out well. However, it gets quite loud in there that it's hard to hear yourself. The host was pleasant and our server was awesome. Theres only a prix fixe menu that changes every month highlighting seasonal items. My review is for June (I KNOW! I'm behind!). However, there's a LOT of extras that you can add on to your meal, which should be on a menu because I was not able to remember (and hear clearly) every single that was said from my server since everything included a lengthy description of the ingredients and how it's prepared, so of course I did forget an item that I initially wanted to order when I first heard it. Be that as it may, let's begin! We were given complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary, which was a nice touch. We started with Fresh Kumamoto Oyster with a Mango Salsa, Champagne Mignonette, Egg White Foam, and Basil Pesto. Wow, what a bite! Everything went well together, each accentuating the sweetness and cutting into the brininess of the oyster. Also enjoyed the presentation with the oysters on top of colored stones. First course on the menu is Hamachi Sashimi with a Watermelon Vinaigrette, lychee and micro greens. This was on the light and bland side. The sauce did not come through to the fresh hamachi and dare I say--watery. Next was an add on, which seems to be a top favorite, the brioche that's from the Breadshop a block away. You can choose from fresh ahi, uni, and caviar. We choose the ahi and uni. These were smaller than I imagined from the photos, but they were quite rich and delicious. The brioche was quite oily (probably why it's so good), moist, and crunchy. The ahi was fresh and melt in your mouth. The best was the uni. Super fresh, rich and creamy, and went very well with the brioche. Second course was braised carrots with honey crème fraiche and fried sunflower seeds. Simple and delicious. Looks modest, but the carrots were tender and sweet and went well with the crème fraiche. Sunflower seeds added a nice crunch. Next add on was Fresh (just flown in) Maryland Soft Shell Crab. It was the first day offered, and WOW!! What a treat! Probably the best thing of the meal!. I haven't had soft shell crab in such a long time, and I have never seen it offered anywhere that's not in a bun or just deep fried alone. It came with a corn gremolata, which paired well with the perfectly seasoned and fried soft shell crab. The meat was tender, rich, and buttery. I'm excited just thinking about it! Third course was the Smoked Salmon with a zucchini sauce and tomato jam. This was excellent! Perfectly cooked salmon that was moist and tender with just the right amount of smokiness. The tomato cut into the rich salmon nicely. Well balance of flavors. Fourth course was Roasted Duck Breast with a Cherry Jus and Roasted Eggplant. The Duck was prepared beautifully. Tender and juicy meat. Rendered fat, and crispy skin. The eggplant was surprisingly very good. Maybe even better than the duck! It had excellent char and excellent flavor, and cooked just right. Not too soft or firm. Last course was dessert. Mahleb cookie with ricotta cheese and grape jelly. It was good. Not overly sweet, and you can taste each individual ingredient. Since it was our anniversary we were treated to a nice Crème Brûlée Tart. It was very good. Nice crust! Rich and creamy. A nice way to end the amazing meal. Overall, Miro was an experience! Enjoyed every single bite and every sip of wine. I appreciate the fact they change their menu every month to highlight seasonal items that are at its peak freshness and quality. The freshness of the mango and soft shell crab really stood out. The add-ons are definitely necessary and are where you'll find the best dishes as just the prix fixe menu alone wouldn't be enough for a meal as the portions are just a few bites. It was $88 for the prix fixe, plus $48 wine pairing ($75 for premium wine), plus all the add on dishes. Yes, those add ons can easily push you to spending nearly $500. That's if you're able to catch all the add on items the server tells you. I missed escargot and Foie gras! Service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was courteous, professional, and friendly. I'll definitely come back again! Soon! read more

This was our first visit and we had a great time. We had a dinner reservation for 5pm and the meal lasted til 7:20pm. The food was interesting, beautiful, and delicious. We did the cocktail pairings and those were fun too. We added a few items to the meal, foie gras, uni brioche and ahi brioche. Several tables also had these and some also had the escargot which looked fabulous as well. The service was smooth. The space was comfortable. The sourdough bread was outstanding. Our favorite dishes were the beef cheek, the kajiki, and hiramasa. I also really liked the black sesame macaron they brought out as a surprise. Yum. read more

There are too many good things to say about Miro!! I love going here especially for date night. My boyfriend sometimes comes here just to sit at the bar for a couple of drinks and order a couple of supplements. Miro is definitely on the pricier side and can get very expensive if you order drinks and supplements. The uni toast is TO DIE FOR, but honestly so is the ahi and caviar toast. Please get at least one of them when you go because you will definitely regret it if you don't!! This review is more tied to the July 2023 menu that I had a couple of weeks ago. The first time I went to Miro was during a collab they had with a chef from Miami. This chef has Peruvian background and everything was great! I think it's so awesome that Miro's menu is always changing and there's always something new to try. July 2023 menu: OMFG AMAZING! Every single dish we had was unbelievable! It was one of those meals where you keep saying "wow this is so good" with every bite you have. Miro is truly amazing with how intricate they are with their dishes. My favorite dish this month would probably have to be the cabbage and turnip, as well as the cold soup. Honestly, was not expecting for these starters to be my favorite part of the meal. I would also like to personally shoutout Michael, the bartender for always taking care of my boyfriend and I. It's always a pleasure talking to and being served by him. Thank you for always making our experience at Miro unforgettable! read more

I loved Miro, and have been a handful of times for dinner and brunch before but my recent experience with them fell flat. At $135 per person (tax, tip and a glass of wine it came out to $188 per person no other add ons) for 7 courses you'd expect to be full or satisfied after the meal but I unfortunately was not and nor were the other 3 people in my party. The courses were great but the serving sizes were smaller compared to what we've had before. They also no longer have their signature bread, which is probably part of why we weren't satisfied afterwards. My server did her best to take care of us but it seemed like the kitchen was backed up. In between three of our courses we waited another ~15minutes after our plates and silverware were taken away for the next course. This was surprising considering the whole restaurant is basically eating the same thing. We still tipped 20% since that didn't seem like it was our server's fault. (Side note, I went to Leila last month and everything came out right away and we were ABSOLUTELY stuffed for less, even with the uni brioche and drinks on that side we paid $160 each.) It was my boyfriend and I's first fine dining date together and I felt pretty terrible for dragging him out. I ended up walking with him to zippys after to get him a chili rice. We sadly won't be back anytime soon. read more

Miro was probably one of my favorite course dining place on Oahu when it first opened. Food, quality, service, ambiance all great! However recently the past two times I have gone I wasn't blown away by the food. The cost has also increased by a good amount. If the food quality was like it was for the current price I wouldn't mind spending that much. But still a great place to check out! read more

We absolutely loved our experience here. The food was amazing, we had the May menu with the cocktail pairing and premium wine pairing. I'm really glad we tried both, as we preferred the wine pairing for the last 3 courses and preferred the cocktail pairings for the first 3 courses. That being said, we did enjoy all of the drinks. Our server was Kat, who was wonderful, and all the service staff worked seamlessly together to make our experience fabulous. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and boisterous. Overall, we had a fantastic time and highly recommend! read more

Miro Kaimuki - March 2025 Prix Menu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What the heck -- 5 stars! Miro in Kaimuki absolutely blew me away. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender, so flavorful, and just a wow moment. I wasn't expecting to be so impressed by the oyster, but it ended up being one of the best things I ate all night -- super fresh and briny, perfection. The beet salad took me by surprise too, in a good way. I was expecting something a little sweeter, but it leaned more savory, and I'm not mad about it. The ahi toast on the brioche bun? Oh my gosh. That buttery, airy bun paired with the ahi was dreamy. Also, the white fish was amazing -- cooked perfectly and full of flavor. And can we talk about that cold paté with lychee jelly? It was so unique and unlike anything I've tried before. Even though the drinks were good (not quite as standout as the food), the Ube dessert at the end sealed the deal for me. The atmosphere is clean and modern, and we sat at the bar where the bartender was so friendly and knowledgeable. A perfect night all around! read more

We had the most amazing experience at Miro Kaimuki. We were recommended to check out this restaurant for our anniversary and I am glad we did. Miro can be found in the heart of Kaimuki in a restaurant front that appeared to be a closed business. I remember walking by their entrance until my spouse pointed out we were right in front of it. Once you enter, you are awestruck by their location's beautiful decor and ambiance. We quickly gave our name and they seated us promptly. We were seated at the bar. At first, I was a little disappointed we were seated at the bar in the corner by the front. However, it ended up being the best spot in the restaurant after experiencing fantastic service from their bartender that night. Fortunately for us, we knew a staff member who treated us very well that night, including the rest of their team. We definitely were made to feel special. We were treated to the most delicious food and alcoholic drinks I have ever had. I look forward to coming here in the future! 10/10 recommend! P.S. are seating area didn't have lighting for the food which made it difficult to capture how beautiful and delicious the food was. read more

First timer , convenient parking available behind the building. A pleasant surprise when we entered the restaurant. Very contemporary inviting decor, elegant but not pretentious. Warm sincere greeting by the hostess welcoming us in for Father's Day. Judging by how polished the staff was, I knew we were in for a great dining experience. Manager greeted us at the table and poured our water, introduced himself which made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Server took our drink ordered and went through additional options to our 5 course fix menu. Every course was meticulously displayed with attention to detail and a brief explanation from the server of what we were about to eat. Every course came with new utensils and every bite was a delight to the palette. Food was exceptional! What a culinary experience, can't wait to come back next month to taste the new menu. read more

Miro Kaimuki stands out as one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining at in Hawaii. The service, under the direction of the new GM Joseph, is impeccable and elevates the entire dining experience. The food and wine pairing took us on a beautiful culinary journey. My wife opted for the cocktail pairing, which was fascinating, and I'm definitely planning to try it on our next visit. The dessert was exceptional, a perfect ending to an exquisite meal. We've already booked our next two visits, which speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of this fine dining establishment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience in Hawaii. Just wanna say thank you to every staff member as you truly set the bar for other restaurants to try to follow . Blown away with how each of you are watching the other to ensure that your service is calibrated with such precision. Wow... read more

I've heard good things about Miro and finally had a chance to go in December 2022. Shortly after dining there, I was unexpectedly invited to go again in January. The great thing is that each month the menu rotates. Although Miro shows you the menu up front, it's sort of a guess as to what you're actually getting. The menu lists the main ingredients in the dish but not how it's prepared. December's visit: there were some real high points of the menu. I particularly enjoyed the scallop dish and miso kale cauliflower dish. A big miss was the venison tartare. It was pretty mayonnaise-y tasting. It almost needed a little more salt and acid or something. On top of the prefix menu offered, Miro also offers "add ons". The server let us know each add on available. While we thought we heard pricing for some dishes, we didn't think he gave pricing for all of them. We ended up ordering the brioche sampler (one with ahi, one with uni and one with caviar). It was soooo good and probably the highlight of the meal BUT it was also $100 (which we didn't realize as we didn't hear the price announced). The oysters were also a highlight and you can order them by the piece. Fast forward to January's visit: Every. Single. Dish. Was. Delish! From the charred cabbage all the way to the dessert, I wow'd at each one. One add on we got in Jan that we didn't in December is the house made sourdough bread and I have to say GET THIS! Our entire table thought the bread was a real winner! The oysters were also offered but with a lilikoi topping this time and although it sounds interesting, it totally works! I'm more of a cocktail gal than wine and I really enjoyed the "Thai Me Up" drink. The restaurant is fairly small however they do have a private back room if you have a large party. It's worth calling to inquire if it's open. There is a tiny lot in the back of the restaurant but it gets full so street parking is your option if it's full. Everyone had a hard time finding the door - it's kind of an industrial door with no real signage on it. read more

As a picky eater, this kind of place is not my first choice, since it's a prix fixe menu without options. But a friend wanted to go for her birthday so I put on my adventurous hat to give it a try. The menu is set and changes every month. You can check their website for the menu for that month to see what they have. Everything is served in tasting portions. They also have add ons that your server will tell you about. I recommend the sourdough bread add on - super good. The truffle risotto was also super tasty but quite pricey (they use high quality ingredients and it's cooked perfectly though). Food overall was amazing and very unique. We did have to wait for our table because the reservation before us came late (half an hour wait even though we had a reservation). That sucked but they did let us know before we got there. Other than that, the service was great. It's street parking or they have a small lot behind the restaurant. They told us we can park in the stalls that say "bank reserved" (but not the ones that just say "reserved"). Enter the parking lot on 9th Ave. read more

Date of Visit: 5/27/2023 Definitely a must visit if you are in Waikiki and looking for a fancy and full of surprises meal! We visited Miro Kaimuki during my birthday trip to Oahu in late May 2023. Miro Kaimuki was opened in summer 2020 by Hawaii native chef Chris Kajioka and San Francisco-based chef Mourad Lahlou. Miro Kaimuki features a French-inspired menu punctuated with Japanese flavors and techniques. Miro Kaimuki offer set menu that changes every month, and all dishes changes and nothing repeat from the beginning. The price in May 2023 for the set menu was $88 with $45 regular wine pairing or $75 premium wine pairing. There are many add-on options besides the set menu for you too add. There were oysters, escargot, sourdough, tuna uni and caviar brioche, and there was also an option to upgrade the lamb to A5 wagyu. Fire Blossom $17 This is the new cocktail that just added to the menu. Super refreshing with peach, yuzu and cherry blossom. Lagrein Rosé, Elena Walch, Alto Adige Rosé that come with the wine pairing was bitter at the first sip, but paired well with oysters and tuna. Nairagi Love the sauce with the first course! The tuna was seared outside and raw inside. With yellow squash and long bean to paired with. Oysters $4.25 We got 4 oysters for the appetizer. The sauce in the oysters is made with pomegranate and nuts, but too flavoraful that covered the freshness of the oysters. Uni Brioche $27 One of my favorite dish of the night. There are three options of the Brioche to choose from, tuna, uni and caviar. We got the uni one which was amazing. 2020 Jacquere, Caveau Savoyard, Savoie Abymes The second wine was Jacquère from France. With a smell of vinegar and earthiness. Cherry Tomato 8 cherry tomatoes with XO Sauce and a little spicy oil on the bottom. There were also almond and prosciutto to add some texture. 2020 Riesling, Gunderloch, Rheinhessen "Jean Baptiste" Fruity Riesling from Germany pair with the next course. Octopus and Cod Tender Cod with crispy skin and octopus as appetizer. On the side there were Kahuku Ogo and Harissa sauce. Grenache, M. Chapoutier, Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019 We got the premium Grenache since the server forgot our wine pairing when a big party came earlier. The Grenache was from Rhone Valley with 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, which was rich and structured. A great pair with the lamb. Lamb The main course is the lamb. With blueberry and daikon on the side. Pineapple, Lime Leaf and Rice Dessert was pineapple cake with rice ice cream and lime leaf. Very complex taste which was good too. I also got a birthday Madeleine with chocolate and candle for extra dessert too! Love the atmosphere, foods and service at Miro Kaimuki, and the tasting menu was full of surprise too! Definitely a must visit restaurant in Oahu! read more

Very thoroughly enjoyed my first experience dining here. Miro nails the execution, atmosphere, and service of a fine dining restaurant. The price point of $88 for prix fixe can be deceiving, since they offer multiple add-ons at different stages in the meal. Unless you have the self control of a Buddhist monk, be prepared to pay roughly $150/person. Or more if you like caviar and uni. My one gripe is that they don't provide a physical list of the add-ons, the servers just recite it while explaining the menu. Here's the ones we got, for price reference: Oysters, $4.25/each - Refreshing granita atop succulent oysters. Ahi Brioche, $14/each - Good, but the toast was the star of the show rather than the ahi. House Sourdough, $9 - Get this. Comes with amazingly clean tasting butter and za'atar. Pairs well with escargot. Escargot, $21 - Definitely get this. So flavorful, seasoning reminded me of Indian food/curries? I wish they had this on a physical menu so I could remember what's in it. As for the prix fixe courses, the scallop was a standout for me. The silky smooth butternut squash foam paired so well with the perfectly cooked scallop. I don't like lamb, so I had to get the wagyu upgrade for the meat course. It was great! Not the usual flavor profile paired with wagyu (harissa + couscous), but it works. The kabocha dessert was the perfect ending, as was the complimentary birthday malasadas with custard cream. I really had a great time here and look forward to trying a different monthly tasting menu. read more

Four and a half stars. Ambiance very chill. Food is very tasty. Service is superb. Was invited to come here to dine for their brunch menu. I guess they brought brunch back after Covid. Great place to have brunch solo at the bar, with one other or in a group. The staff is very pleasant and down to earth. The food came out nice and hot and they also substituted a dish for me since I don't eat fish with cauliflower which was excellent. All portions are perfect and executed well. Excellent experience and the price wasn't bad either. So if you're looking for a cute but also tasty place to brunch, this is it. Not pretentious, not loud, and there are little subtleties that I appreciated. read more

Not to be morbid but, this would be the last meal I'd want to eat right before I die. A solid five stars in taste, quality, plating of food and service. From the moment we arrived until the moment we were leaving, the staff was in a league of their own with their superior, friendly, knowledgable, personable service and professionalism. Martin was our server, absolutely the best out there. There was another server assisting our table, didn't catch her name but she was just lovely too. Miro offers a five course prix fixe ($88) menu that changes each month. for November: 1 hamachi . tomatillo . apple 2 beet . cashew . curry 3 scallop . maitake . squash 4 lamb . harissa . couscous 5 kabocha meringue . lemon Courses are what you would expect with a tasting menu so serving size is to taste, not to fill. There are add-on courses available and they sounded so delicious, we just had to. They can make modifications to their courses for allergies. Their substitutions were just as superb. 1a kushu oysters ($12.75 for three) 2a brioche trio (ahi . uni . caviar) ($105) 3a bread with whipped butter and sea salt ($9) 3b escargot ($21) 4a tortellini with truffle ($28) EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! We left full, content, and blown away. Highlights of the night: the brioche trio was my favorite course. OMG, so good! You haven't lived until you eat this. The scallop was the most perfectly cooked scallop I have ever eaten. Like whoa. The sauce the tortillini came in, I just wanted to drink and bathe in. Parking: there is a lot behind the building and metered street parking that is free after 6pm. Make a reservation, take your favorite person and please go enjoy life with their culinary adventure, you'll be happy you did. read more

Every course was filled with well developed flavors and thoughtful presentation. Our waiter was so kind he provided us a complimentary wine tasting, escargot, and dessert.

Love love love! I came here for my birthday dinner a couple months ago and everything was tasted divine. Like seriously, every course was amazing, Miro Kaimuki really has a great handle everything: veggies, bread, meat, ALL EXCELLENT! There was a person in my group who didn't like two of the courses from the prix fixe menu and our waiter noticed. He then offered to remake the course in the vegetarian version. So if you have any particular food preferences be sure to tell the waiter at the beginning of the meal because they do their best to try to cater to them. All in all, really fantastic experience and one of my best meals in Hawaii, worth every penny. I highly recommend dining here when in Honolulu! read more

I had such a pleasant experience here. It was delicious, the chef clearly takes a lot of pride in creating beautiful presentations. The ambiance wasn't anything to write home about. It felt cold and industrial with very little decoration outside of mirrors, but that didn't detract from the experience. The focus was on the food.

Oh Miro, how you have change my view of dining! I usually reserve Miro for special occasions because being served a pre-fix menu and not having to think about a single thing is such a treat. It is reservation base and is located in Kaimuki, area of most delicious food. There is some parking in the back of the building. The parking is shared by the Hawaii National Bank I believe. Parking is pretty compact but I have not had problems finding a spot in the past. Outwardly, it's a discreet single colored restaurant. But once you enter, you're washed with the thoughts "omg this is fancy" haha. Hostess and staff all around are courteous and warming. There's plenty of tables, a bar section, as well as a section for private parties. I'll add that the section for private parties is a stretch of a table filling four couples. It's quite intimate and you do not hear much from the main dining room, loved that! Also, I believe we did have assistance from a Sommelier during a private party and they were kind and helpful. He showed interest in the descriptions of the wines of usually enjoy, gave his recommendations based on the menu + our likes. We didn't feel pressure to choose a specific bottle, many options were given. Very grateful for that experience. There is a new pre-fix menu created monthly by the Chefs. I've also heard that the Chefs from around the world would collaborate on the menu too. I may not be the best judge of cuisines but I do enjoy them and appreciate those that have made them. I've enjoyed very meal, every course here! Staples that my husband and I get each time we come are the lovely Uni topped on their brioche and escargot. The pictures I posted were for my birthday, and they gave such sweet treats for me. Always a delicious and adventurous time with you, Miro. read more

Favorite menus on the island - drinks are creative and service is excellent. Would recommend 1st timers to go for their monthly tasting menu (dinner) but brunch and late night menus are both worth a visit.

I tried the new prix fixe menu back in mid January and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The food hit on a wide range of flavors and local ingredients, with some beautifully plated dishes. My favorites were the 1st course (nairagi - striped marlin) and the 3rd course (scallop, yuzu bearnaise). We even saw Nick & Vanessa Lachey (she films in Honolulu for NCIS Hawaii) who dined a few tables away. Lively atmosphere inside the restaurant with friendly and efficient service. We'll definitely be back to try a new prix fixe seasonal menu in the future. read more

Dinner in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii... Miro Kaimuki used to be Miro Cafe and served fusion Japanese cuisine. My sister had been there on a date with her future husband and my friend, Yvette had gone there many years ago. I told Yvette that I had never been, so, she made a reservation for us and our friend, Sharon. They wanted the Prix Fixe menu with wine pairing. I just wanted the food. Haha! We found free street parking in the residential area and walked past the unmarked door. We backtracked and entered the dimly lit, elegant, but simply furnished restaurant. Our server was very polite, accommodating, knowledgeable, humorous, and friendly! The menu changes every month. For the month of August 2022 we had: Hamachi. Gazpacho. Basil Cabbage Date.Vadouvan Scallop. Zucchini. Yuzu Pork. Sunflower. Cherry Mango. Buttermilk. Shiso Everything was so beautiful, creative and tasty! For example - I knew it was cabbage, but ... Gosh - how did the chef make it seem better than cabbage? As an add-on, Yvette ordered a side of Uni brioche. I thought, "It's just brioche... What's the big deal?" Yvette kept raving about it and put a small piece on my plate. OMG! I ordered one for myself because it was so decadent and delicious! Haha! You'll just have to experience Miro Kaimuki yourself. It's no ordinary place! read more

I had one of my favorite meals at Miro while on Oahu for a week. It's got a lowkey contemporary but modest feel which I appreciate. We made reservations for ~8p on a Sunday and it was maybe half full. Our waiter was very charming and walked through cocktail options, menus, and more. I highly recommend the Fire Blossom cocktail; it's a sweet drink but not too sweet with lovely yuzu flavors and a hint of sakura. We also got a few oysters to start which were lovely as well. There were two of us and two set menus available; the 'prix fixe' at $92 (seems to be more seasonal dishes), and the 'classic' at $175 (seems to be more year-round signatures). The pricing felt strange to me because the classic was so much more expensive, but we decided to get one of each menu so we could split and enjoy all the dishes and that turned out to be a really great idea and I recommend it! We had tasty dishes from both menus. From the prix fixe, my favorite was a salmon and squash dish. From the classic, it was potato and truffle casoncelli. And they also served us a really delicious bread with a super cute honeycomb butter which made me happy lol. And the honey fig almond dessert had great texture and was also delicious. If you want to splurge on good food while in Oahu, Miro is a fantastic spot to do so. read more

Wow, every dish & every drink was outstanding. We sat at the bar and were entertained by bartenders Michael & Ross as they meticulously crafted every drink with carefully curated perfection. These guys take their craft seriously and are very very good at it. I recommend the "Thai Me Up" & the "Pandan Express". You can't taste the alcohol but you can feel it.. The $100 Prix Fixe menu is well worth it. Every dish was flavorful and filling. The Monchong fish was perfectly seared to crispy brown perfection. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors precisely paired. Servers were attentive and charming which added to the relaxed vibe. Definitely one of Honolulu's best dining experiences. Such a pleasure to experience the art of food so passionately carried out by committed professionals. Can't say enough. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. read more

Would you like a food adventure?? Treat yourself to Miro. It would be really fun to sit at the bar too (ask for the actual counter, not just the bar tables). The prefix meal is fun and we couldn't pass up all the other add-on options. Get ready tho, I would say this is for special occasions! - vadouvan. prawn. butternut squash. I can't eat shellfish so had the avocado toast version and absolutely loved it! - tomato. shiso. creme fraiche. Simple but one of my favs. I could have eaten more. - scallop. shimeji. porridge. I had the hamachi, shimeji mushroom porridge with pea shoots and it was to die for. - pork belly. honey mustard. stone fruit. I'm not a big meat person so this didn't stand out to me but it was all good. - corn. blueberry.honey. a crunchy interesting dessert. ADD ONs: - Sourdough. Salted butter. Za'atar (seasonings). Add on warm bread and butter. yumm. - Oysters. Best my husband has had on Oahu. - Ahi and Uni toast. Yummy but thought the sauce was slightly overpowering with the toast to really enjoy the true ahi and uni. - Escargot with little puff pastries. I wish I could have tried it. - A5 Wagyu Striploin add on - I had to try it but still preferred the vegetable and fish dishes all day long because they we were so good! read more

Came to visit my boyfriend's family and they did an amazing job of getting the reservations setup. It is a prefix menu with many options for add ons such as the brioche bread, oysters, wagyu, and risotto. I believe the add ons and prefix meals change depending on time of year. We started off with cocktails that were all uniquely curated and tasted wonderful. We opted for the brioche bread. Best add-on ever! The bread was very buttery and we loved the different twist of adding caviar and uni to the top. Would come back for this. All the plates were well put together. One of my favorites was the scallop in a curry sauce. We opted to get one risotto for the whole table, we each got a spoon full that was truffly. Our server was attentive and was always willing to answer any questions we had. The wine pairings elevated each of the plates. They were very sweet and brought a birthday dessert that was warm and delicious. read more

The world food travelers resumed their bi-monthly visits to interesting dining venues ... this time, Miro Kaimuki. We've been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time but my tablemate is allergic to shellfish so we peruse the menu each month hoping for one with limited shellfish. We passed on the wine pairing and ordered a 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin (Domaine Lecheneaut). It was earthy with dark fruit undertones and a hint of spice. This was a great start to what hopefully would be a stellar dining experience. We added two extra dishes to the tasting menu. The first was the brioche trio ... petite rectangles of fried brioche topped with caviar, uni and seared ahi. Under the uni was an egg mixture and there was avocado under the ahi. It was served with glasses of Champagne. I could have consumed three orders of this "out of this world" dish. My least favorite was the uni; there was some seasoning I didn't care for ... I prefer my uni au naturel. The other extra dish was a 3oz piece of foie gras. The world food travelers have a few rules, one of which is ... If there's foie gras, truffles or bone marrow on the menu; we order it! They say you eat with your eyes ... the dishes at Miro Kaimuki are artwork. Our first course was a gazpacho with pieces of Hamachi sashimi-style, thin slices of fruit, flowers of pickled daikon and something very crunchy. Another artful presentation, a visual and mouth-watering feast. The second course was a wedge of charred cabbage atop a duet of sauces ... our server Kyle explained all of the ingredients but yours truly is suffering from a-g-e and didn't remember the details. With the exception of the dill, the dish was excellent. Our third course was a seared scallop with slices of pickled zucchini and a reduction of zucchini. My tablemate was served a large piece of sea bass in place of the scallop. There was a tasty treat hiding under the slices of zucchini. The main course was pork, served two ways; a lean piece and one with fat. The cherry halves and the fried fennel complemented the pork. My tablemate opted for the Wagyu shortrib ... this was the second most delicious dish of the evening. So tender and flavorful ... it went home for another day! Dessert was a concoction of mango in several forms; I thought it was a sauce but the bottom of the dish was like a mango flavored panna cotta; there was a quenelle of buttermilk ice cream and pieces of mango, both fresh and pickled. I ended my meal with a cup of Maui Yellow Caturra coffee. This was my first time tasting this coffee; I sensed chocolate in the aroma but not on the palate ... a very good coffee, if a touch light for me. All in all, a superlative meal. I need to record the server as each dish is complex and I'm only guessing at the ingredients as I write this review. In summary, this ranks as one of the best meals we've had in 2022; the best in Hawaii. Highly recommended! read more

Such a let down. The first course was actually very good, but it was downhill fast from there. Service was very good and ambiance was okay, but not good enough for me to give this place a second try. read more
