    Salmon don

    The restaurant may be a bit small but they have a lot of servers to go around. They're all very attentive and provide good service. The food itself was decently good -- I got the crispy roll, 3 types of sake, and salmon don and none of them disappointed. I would definitely come back again.

    Appetizer tempura

    Originally, I wanted to go to the ones across the street as it was cheaper, but they didn't feel like places I would sit down and eat in. This place however was brightly lit, spacious, and welcoming. Now... I have no idea why I would go to a sushi restaurant and not order sushi but bear with me. The appetizer tempura is a great option out of all the tempura options with 2 ebi, 2 squash, and 1 asparagus stalk. You get a variety of different things at only $5.5. It was battered unevenly with some parts getting a lot, and others sparsely. Apart from that, it was decent. The chicken karaage here is different than what I usually have. The pieces are big but suffers the same issue as the tempura, lots of batter. With each bite, I get a soft squish instead of a good crisp crunch. It is close to bland by itself and the only thing giving it flavour is the sweet and sour sauce to the side. Perhaps some seasoning on the chicken could save it, like salt and pepper. I would skip out on getting this. For around $11 before tax and tips, it was alright. The service was friendly and fast. Perhaps I should stick with the sushi next time.

    This place, gets the job done. Service is amazing food is good. Everything you would want in your neighborhood sushi restaurant price is fair parking a little difficult.

    Very clean, modern and friendly staff. Food is delicious and quick with terrific presentation. Great for a casual stop and quick meal.

    I'm somewhat new to sushi. I keep trying it, and while I eat it, I still don't love it. My husband and I split some kind of tuna-based roll. In his opinion it was average. I ate some too, but found it no more or less agreeable than the others that I've tried. The ambiance is somewhat lacking here, it's on a similar tier to Quiznos. I wouldn't say fast food, but there's no need to linger here. Just eat and go.

    Basic sushi is fine. Don't expect anything out the world and you will not be disappointed. The service was fine, the food was fine (We ordered squid deep fried and the taste was pretty good) and the ambiance also was fine. We dined here recently last long weekend just because our favourite Sushi place wasn't open that day. The non waiting in this downtown area was nice change. All in all, this establishment was fine. Not best sushi I've had. Perhaps we live in Vancouver so we know what is good/bad/so so sushi plus I sometime travel to Japan for work so the sushi thing is set pretty high.

I always order beef tongue, Japanese fried chicken, and shrimp mayonnaise. These are my must-orders and their signature dishes. The beef tongue is actually quite simple; it's delicious just from being lightly heated. The hot stone slab is served piping hot, perfect for searing meat. Be quick, or it will cool down. The Japanese fried chicken is tender, juicy, and incredibly fragrant. The seasoning is just right. The shrimp mayonnaise is plentiful and a perfect match for beer. The two seasonal or specialty dishes of the day weren't as good, and I wouldn't order them again. My advice is to order their most popular and classic dishes, and definitely make a reservation in advance if you want to come (especially on weekends, as the wait can be up to an hour).

The sashimi is incredibly fresh, the karaage is perfectly crispy and juicy, and the hot‑stone Wagyu is unforgettable--tender, rich, and fun to cook right at the table. Their creative dishes like the truffle carbonara udon and corn ribs show how much pride they take in balancing tradition with innovation. Portions are generous, and it's hard not to want to try everything. We wanted to maximize our eating experience, so we ordered their set lunch. Apparently, there are only limited set lunches available, so we had to reserve/order ahead of time, after reviewing their menu online. You know this place is authentic Japanese restaurant when you are greeted by Japanese servers, and you see Japanese sushi chefs! Reservation is highly recommended if you want to be guaranteed a seat.

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.

This visit we ordered the shrimp garlic fried rice, Agedashi Nasu, Grilled Squid with Garlic Mayo, and an assortment of sashimi. The shrimp garlic fried rice is an absolute must every time. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and somehow manages to be comforting without feeling too heavy. It is a large dish and can easily be shared by 3-4, depending on what else you order. We also love the Agedashi Nasu here with melt-in-your-mouth eggplant wrapped in a light, delicate coating that soaks up the savory broth. Service is always quick and organized, even when the restaurant is busy. Dishes arrive as they're ready, making it easy to share everything around the table, which is exactly how an izakaya experience should feel. If it's your first visit, don't skip the shrimp garlic fried rice, and make sure to check out the daily specials before ordering. They often feature seasonal dishes that aren't available on the regular menu and are well worth trying.

As for the taste the spicy rose cream udon tasted exactly like Buldak Ramen's Carbonara flavor, and everyone at my table agreed. The garlic bread was nice tho.

I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent.

Think of a tapas-style pub/bar for people to unwind and gather to chat after a long day at work. I loved the atmosphere, as it's casual, entertaining, and lively. The food was great and I couldn't think of a dish I didn't like. The sashimi were so fresh and high quality. Of course they use freshly grated wasabi too.
