I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Miru. We were visiting Chicago for a short trip, and with so many excellent dining options, choosing where to eat wasn't easy. I almost decided to save Miru for our next visit, but I'm glad I made time for breakfast here on our departure day. Located inside the St. Regis Chicago, the restaurant offers beautiful views. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I ordered the Tokyo Breakfast. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with rice, a soft-poached egg, and salmon roe. The miso soup was slightly salty on its own, but it worked surprisingly well when enjoyed with the rice toward the end of the meal. Overall, a memorable breakfast experience. I'd love to return and try the lunch or dinner menu on my next trip to Chicago. read more

Miru - Tokyo breakfast - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's all about the views! Miru is one of the newer sushi restaurants relatively uncompetitive sushi scene in Chicago, and it hits the spots for those interested in classy ambience and jaw dropping views. The sushi is phenomenal, as were our drinks... but the other entrees are disappointing. The karaage and duck yakisoba in particular in quality could be from any corner restaurant in Chicago. The service lends itself more casual, and I noticed they were consistently quite slow to clear our table. I don't think people come here for the food as much as the views. Overlooking Streeterville from this angle and vantage was truly jaw dropping and for this reason I still strongly recommend Miru. read more

Miru - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Miru has a gorgeous view. It is located at the top of the The St. Regis Chicago, and the scenery alone makes it worth visiting. It is a great spot for tourists, especially if you are staying at the hotel. We walked in around 4pm on a Tuesday and had no wait at all. It was pretty empty at that time. The sunset views are stunning and it is such a beautiful place to take photos. That was definitely the highlight. As for the food, the sushi was just okay. The fish cuts were on the smaller side and the ingredients did not taste particularly high quality, so it felt a bit underwhelming. Service was fine. Nothing amazing, but not bad either. Overall, I would come back for the view and vibes, but not necessarily for the sushi itself. read more

Miru is located on the 11th floor inside of the St. Regis hotel in downtown Chicago. I went the Friday before Valentine's Day with my boyfriend to celebrate. We had reservations for 4:30pm, but they wanted to accommodate our request for a window seat so our table wouldn't be ready until 5pm, which was perfect. We each got a cocktail at the bar while we waited for our seat. We ordered the golden hour and the campari-san. The view is stunning and everything was so delicious. The dishes are small, so it's perfect for sharing a variety of different items. We ordered the edamame, broccolini, A5 wagyu nigiri, hamachi, chicken karaage, smoked pork belly skewer, wild mushroom sizzling rice, and duck yakisoba. The pork belly is so soft it literally melts in your mouth. I also loved the broccolini. For dessert, we got the black sesame mochi, and all the flavors and textures worked perfectly together. If you're looking for an elegant restaurant with beautiful views, friendly staff, and amazing modern Japanese food, I highly suggest Miru. read more

Ambiance, food, service, everything was fantastic! It indeed is a high end restaurant but worth the hype! As a vegetarian I had plenty of options and was a great experience!

Came here for restaurant week with a group of friends. Parking through spothero is the way to go, but the lot is a little difficult to find. For the restaurant week menu, we got to make our own hand rolls which was probably my favorite part. The welcome sip was a nice fruity touch. The miso cod was a very small portion, not sure if the regular meal had a larger portion but the restaurant week portion was a small square. The steak was more filling and the dipping sauce went really well with the meat. The mushroom rice was a little watery and underwhelming for me. The yakisoba smelled really good but flavor wise was lacking. The dessert reminded me of a mango sticky rice, but rice pudding version. Food was decent but not super mind blowing. It was $60 for a 4 course meal which was a great deal, but not super filling. The atmosphere is really great for a fancy get together or date night. The St Regis is beautiful and the restaurant itself had lovely blueish green tiles. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. read more

Sadly I'd have to give this restaurant a 3 stars for its pancake and view only. My friend was racing about this place so much I was very excited to try but it was quiet a disappointment. First, the rice on the maki is hard and not exactly sushi rice. The fish isn't fresh and I didn't taste any sweetness or fattyness from the chu toro. The crispy rice was tasty but nothing special. We loved the pancake with its fluffiness and delicious yuzu flavor topping. Service was professional but not the best. The only great thing about this is the location and view. read more

Miru - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Another great experience at Miru. Great food a great drinks. I really loved the Jules Taylor Sauv Blanc they had and the service was great, especially for a larger group with a last minute reservation. The grilled avocado is still my favorite starter with a not too spicy chili soy sauce. The edamame is classic and salty and the shishito peppers, which I'm often not a fan of, were actually delicious. The spicy bluefin tuna crispy rice was pretty disappointing and the rice sort of got stuck in my teeth. I LOVED the smoked pork belly skewers - so soft and tender and flavorful. The duck yakisoba was really good too. The tako (octopus) skewers were fine. The chicken karaage was just slightly upscale chicken nuggets. Both Makis we got were SUPER tasty. The Miru Rainbow was an explosion of different tastes and the Triple Tuna was fatty and yummy. The Otoro nigiri was also really yummy, but very pricey. The chocolate silk tart was my favorite dessert - chocolate lat and creamy with just a little matcha flavor. I did like the Miru-ishi too but more for concept and texture than taste. read more

The breakfast at Miru was amazing. We are staying at St.Regis and we just walked up to the restaurant. The view was amazing overlooking Chicago River and Lake Michigan. We ordered Coffee, classic Egg Benedict with mushrooms and no ham and Build your own omelette. All 3 things were amazing. Especially the omelette. Even egg Benedict was v good. It's just the server took forever to get the bill. read more

I recently visited Miru Chicago for breakfast, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, elegant, and welcoming. We were lucky to get a window seat, and the view of Lake Michigan made the whole experience even more special. Watching the morning light reflect on the water while enjoying breakfast was simply beautiful. For food, we ordered coffee, avocado toast, and a vegetable omelet, and everything tasted amazing. The coffee was fresh and smooth, perfect to start the day. The avocado toast was well-balanced, fresh, and full of flavor, while the vegetable omelet was cooked perfectly--soft, fluffy, and packed with fresh ingredients. The quality and presentation both amazing The staff was friendly, attentive, and polite, making us feel comfortable throughout our visit. Service was quick without feeling rushed, which made the breakfast even more enjoyable. Overall, Miru is a wonderful spot for a peaceful breakfast with great food, warm service, and stunning lake views. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago and looking for a relaxing start to their day. read more

3 of us back for a marvelous dinner with great views, beautiful decor, great service, and of course great food. The quality of the food is very noticeable. We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive! read more

I'll be the first to admit I reserved a breakfast spot at this Japanese restaurant in the newish St. Regis Hotel primarily for the view. I was not a hotel guest, so I was also interested in seeing this newish hotel, under construction when I last visited Chicago, designed by renowned architect Jeanne Gang, who also designed the stunning Aqua building nearby. Miru is on the hotel's 11th floor. It's a large restaurant with an equally large terrace, where surely tables are in the most demand in good weather. The hotel's St. Regis Terrace is also on this level, also with killer river views. For breakfast, the menu is pretty much American, aside from a Tokyo Breakfast set. I ordered The American breakfast---eggs, a protein (I chose ham), hash browns and toast. It also came with a simple seemingly undressed salad. The breakfast was prepared well and nicely presented. There was only a single slice of toast. Had I known I would have ordered a bagel. The cold-pressed juice blend I ordered called Eternal Life was also very good. Service was decent, perhaps a bit scarce since there were very few guests at 7 am. Given that the St. Regis is a luxury brand, the meal also was not inexpensive. But they did allow me access not only to the Miru Terrace, but the St. Regis Terrace as well, and the views from both are stunning ( and pretty similar). read more

Nice dinner at Miru. Gorgeous views of the city, beautiful ambiance. Avocado crispy rice: 2.5/5 (avocado tasted funny, kinda fake) Shrimp tempura: 4/5 Spicy salmon: 4/5 Sushi was good but nothing special. Duck Yakisoba on the other hand was incredible, 5/5. This is the only food dish I would come back for. Great service, waitress was kind, attentive, and provided recommendations. read more

Miru was stunning. Everything about my experience here was beautiful. We tried a bunch of things but my absolute favorites were the salmon avocado roll and the tuna crispy rice. It was the most high quality, fresh tasting sushi ever & I could have eaten every roll they all sounded amazing. Other honorable mentions were the wild mushroom sizzling rice and and eggplant skewer. Loved both of these too! I didn't love the rock shrimp, I wish it was tossed and cooked a bit in the aioli instead of coming on the side. Overall I had the best experience here and cannot wait to go back to try the rest of their menu! read more

My all time favorite sushi restaurant!!! I loved my server Sol (so knowledgeable and fun) and will be back just for her! The food here was incredible - the sushi was so fresh and the appetizers were all so unique in flavor. The drinks were delicious and complimentary to the food. If you take a step outside onto the balcony, the view of Chicago is amazing. Great place for a fancy date night or to go with friends. Make sure to get a reservation (they book up fast) and ask for Sol! read more

Came to Miru for Restaurant Week and I'm glad my wife forced me here... (haha) because the food is top tier level. Potentially highest quality of food you can get, everything tasted so fresh & clean & great ingredients. To be fully honest (&this just might be me not growing up at restaurants like this but) I just can't justify the prices for the amount of food you get. Potentially for the views but I did leave her hungry (haha) and I ate some of my wife's food. My favorite bite was the steak and the Whiskey Punch drink was fantastic , highly recommend! Nonetheless, it was a wonderful experience and the server was alright but you can definitely feel like you're in another level of dining experience. I'm also glad I was able to try it so I could let other know how this place is since I always hear so much about it. Thank you Miru, for the experience & restaurant week.

The food, the view the people, just wow. Really? What else is there to say? Shall I tell you which dishes to avoid? Sorry, can't. All good. read more

The Miru is nestled on the rooftop of the st regis hotel in downtown Chicago. The views are fantastic, the food is spectacular and the service is nothing short of stellar. They were quite busy and we got our good very quickly. The food arrived at the proper temperature, texture and flavor, and exceeded our expectations. The unexpected star of the show was the broccolini, the sweet sesame soy , sesame seeds, and the decision to serve it cool was a bold move but it actually felt refreshing, and the choice of flavor was an outstanding choice to go with the temperature and texture. The broccolini had a crunch, but not too much of a crunch and you can tell it was marinated a little bit in the sauce because the florets were bursting with the flavor of the sauce but not so much that it would be overpowering, honestly I don't think this dish could have been better, The smoked pork belly in the apple cider glaze was also incredibly fantastic. It was so tender and fatty, melted in your mouth, and the seasoning which was on top of the glaze had a mild kick that really brought the dish home. Another 10/10. The Wagyu steak was really good too, I mean it's hard to mess up A5 Japanese Wagyu, no matter what you do to it, just the fat and flavor inside the meat is butter. read more

Miru is all about the rooftop and views! We came here for lunch with LEYE annual scratch off and decided to try out this place. The menu is mostly sushi with some Japanese entrees. I didn't feel like the menu offered anything unique, so was a little put off by their pricing. It's in the same building for St. Regis ambiance, so you can understand the cost of rent may demand. Food is alright for what is, I would venture elsewhere for Modern Japanese. The service was professional, subdued. Nice perk was our complimentary birthday treat, I believe was a yuzu custard and cake in a cup. Very smooth, bright and a perfect way to end a meal. read more

Came for a corporate event so rented out the private space behind the bar which is beautiful. Even better in the summer admittedly as there's a patio area that looked great, albeit covered in snow. The sushi was superb. Honestly, I could've kept eating that sushi all night. The quality of the fish was top notch, the preparation was clean and elegant. Big fan of the sushi. Also huge fan of the grilled avocado. Very unique and unlike anything I'd had. Lots of what seemed like eel sauce on it made for a sweet, creamy, slightly smokey plate. Very cool. My steak was good, perhaps a little more medium rare than medium, but I was so full I didn't mind leaving the rarer bits off to the side. And the desserts were really good too; very rich chocolate options. I'm usually not a fancy dessert type of guy but these were fantastic. Would definitely return. Not often given the price point, but for a special occasion it'd be great! read more

Been a big fan of the st Regis as its location is prime and aesthetics are on point. Finally checked out the Miru (hotel side) as it was given rave review and word of mouth. Have to say the food was good but the indoor and outdoor venue was stunning. Service also good. Here's a few things we tried: 1. Grilled Avocado: whole avocado split in half and grilled. Has a sweet sauce over it giving it a bit of a sweetness to it and loads of sesame seeds which I thought could have been toned down. Not a favorites. Would skip it to try something different the next time. 2. Hamachi and Lemon: a hamachi carpaccio seasoned with a citrus lemon and ponzu sauce. Very beautiful, fresh and delicious. Would recommend especially if looking for something light and healthy. 3. Hamachi Ponzu Maki: a roll with avocado, cucumber, and scallions on the inside giving it a fresh, healthy, and herbal flavor with hamachi on outside topped with ponzu (GELATIN ponzu!!!!). So flavorful and delicious. Would highly recommend. 4. St Regis prime burger: huge burger stacked with two juicy (perfectly cooked) patties with lettuce , fresh and crispy onions, and pickles. Came with side of yummy fries. Loves this! Again would highly recommend 5. Miru-Ishi: yummy dessert. Essential a vanilla cake ("sugar cake") encased in a chocolate casing with side of ice cream and salted caramel syrup and garnished with a crispy rice which was together gave it a sweet crunchy bite. Very good. 6. Watermelon cooler cocktail: my friend had and took a sip. Refreshing but loved mine better. This one is vodka based with aperol and watermelon. 7. Cherry Blossom G&T: my favorite cocktail. Gin based with a rose/ floral aroma. Usually not a fan of rose or floral in drinks at all but this was so elegantly done with not an overwhelming scent of rose. Also very refreshing and could have had seconds and thirds of it wasn't for my work obligations. Overall excellent experience here and lives up to the hype. read more

I'm a little mixed on this review: the food was pretty good but the price tag was pretty high per dish (and servers recommending 4-5 dishes per person...for the record, we had 2 diners and ordered only 5 dishes total plus a less than desirable dessert and thought it was plenty). Ultimately just know you're paying for location and 'prestige' of the St. Regis status. The good news: vegetarians will love all the veggie starters (broccolini is perfection) and the eggplant skewer was a favorite for both of us. We tried a staple raw and staple roll according to the server and would order the hamachi over the triple salmon next time but happy to try each. The fish does taste fresh but I admittedly have had just as nice sushi elsewhere for less cost. The rice dishes must all be fabulous as we had a hard time deciding but don't think it's something to pass up and the spring rolls were good (a nice share option if you have a large group). The bad news: prices are steeper so expect to splurge especially if you're getting drinks. The views are nice outside but beware, you will have people climbing over you to get their perfect shot if you're at a table at the railing. The dessert was not impressive. Are we glad we tried it for a nice occasion? Sure! Have we had better meals for around the same cost? Yes. It's worth checking out once but we probably would opt for a different spot in the future. read more

We started with the Bloody and a Mimosa for drinks. Appetizer we had the Bluefin Tuna & Crispy Shiso which was lovely. Our main courses we had the Okonomiyaki with baby shrimp! It was great but no way could eat that alone. And Shannon got the chicken salad. Too bad, unfortunately we had no room for desert. Next time! The Rye was amazing. Not to sour. I loved it. Everyone makes them too sour and the acidic more now. That was a great dry Bloody Mary. If that makes sense. read more

A stellar experience. I don't know what I liked more, the food or the ambiance! To start, the restaurant is several floors up (may have been 17, but I don't remember for sure) in the St. Regis Hotel with the best view of the Chicago River as well as navy pier. The food was unbelievable in terms of taste AND presentation. It's definitely like the food you want to eat but don't want to eat because it's so pretty!!! Service was awesome. The music was at the perfect volume so that it isn't a struggle to hear people at your table. The food comes in small plate format, as it's ready. And you may need around 3, unless you're hungrier. But it's worth it! Valet is quite expensive, so if it matters to you, carpool or rideshare. Coming in several cars can rack up quite the bill. read more

Miru totally lived up to the hype. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were chic and calming with a beautiful city view that added a touch of luxury to the whole experience. We ordered the shrimp tempura, spicy salmon maki, duck egg noodles, and broccoli, and honestly, everything was delicious. The sushi was super fresh, perfectly rolled, and full of flavor. The duck egg noodles were rich, savory, and comforting, and the broccoli was surprisingly one of our favorites charred just right with a delicious glaze. I also had the Aperol Spritz, which was refreshing and well-balanced, not too sweet, and perfect with the food. Service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the timing of everything felt really smooth. Whether you're here for a casual night out or a celebration, Miru hits that sweet spot between classy and comfortable. Definitely coming back, and next time, I'm saving room for dessert read more

Started out at the bar as we arrived early for a reservation and decided on having a Miru Highball. It had Toki Japanese Whiskey, Junmai Sake, Sancho Pepper Falernum, Bermutto and Lime. Bermutto is a Japanese sake vermouth that is a fortified sake infused with Japanese botanicals like yuzu, kabosu (a high-acid citrus fruit), and sansho peppercorn. It was fan-friken-tastic as was the service. Such a fresh and light yet sophisticated highball. Best highball I've ever had. Bar service and drink were a 10/10. At the table, we started with Edamame with Japanese Seven Spice. So good. Definitely worth ordering again. I also ordered the Roasted Teriyaki Chicken Breast, Black Cod with White Miso and pork belly skewers. Think small plates. It adds up but worth it if you consider the ambiance, service and location. Desert was Miru-Ishi (Okinawa Black Sugar Cake, Genmai Crémeux, Salted Caramel) and some sort of lemon desert that came in small cups. The food was just so good. Totally worthy of a repeat visit just for the food. Food was a 9/10 Table service was fantastic. So personal, professional and attentive. Everyone is on point. Such a pleasant contrast to many places nowadays. A 10/10. Ambiance is elegant/ upscale but not pretentious. Beautiful decor. You can carry on casual conversation without yelling as the tables are spaced nicely and ambient noise is so low. Views of the Lakefront and Navy Pier from table side or open (Rooftop) terrace. 10/10 Worth your time and money. read more

Great views of Navy Pier, good food. I had high expectations of the food and ambience given Miru is located inside the new St. Regis hotel along the river. I'd say the service was a bit of a let down ~ we felt rushed and the server/food runner didn't really go into any detail about what we were being served. The Smoke on the River cocktail was pretty good but the Campari-San to me tasted like melted strawberry slushie (which to me is not a good thing). For food we had the edamame, miru temaki sushi (akami, sake, and hamachi), miso black cod, flat iron steak, wild mushroom sizzling rice, and japanese rice pudding. I wasn't a fan of the mushroom rice, but the miso black cod, flat iron steak, and rice pudding were very tasty. read more

Equal parts classy and chill, it's Miru at the Saint Regis. The building itself is brand new (opened in 2020), and Miru sits up top, shining like a sleek rooftop diamond. By day, it's the hotel's breakfast spot; by night, it transforms into a sushi restaurant and both vibes are spot on. The bartenders? Absolute pros. They're not afraid to shuffle folks around to make sure you've got a seat, which is exactly the kind of energy you want in a busy city bar. Being part of the Saint Regis, the service is next-level. I had a few drinks there one evening, then came back the next morning for breakfast, and everything was just delightful. read more
