I was fairly conflicted about how many stars to give this restaurant. I've visited 4 times now, always for dinner and this review would be a combination of all. The best part about this place is the location. It's in the heart of downtown Champaign. Theres plenty of parking around here from the flat lot across the street to the garage in the back. The ambiance and decor are good too.
Now as far as the food goes that's where there's a lot of room for improvement. Like a lot! For starters it is not at all vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian friendly. Even the salmon that comes with the bi bim bap had something to do with beef broth, tofu for vegetarians isn't free from contamination via oil. Soups and salad all have meat minus the house salad. Why would a restaurant at this level leave such groups of eaters out is beyond me. Next is desserts there's no dessert menu mochi in different flavors is available & some times there'd be mediocre tasting apple pie with ice-cream. The presentation of food however has always been excellent.
As far as service goes, I've had two subpar experiences. Once our food got served to the couple at the table next to us and it was sitting there for 4-5 mins while those people complained that that's not their order then they realized and just picked it up and served it to us. On another visit I specifically asked for plain rice instead of the pork rice which comes with ahi tuna steak, got served the pork rice anyways and the rest of my table was almost done by the time the corrected order came. Now at a mid level restaurant these experiences wouldn't have been as big a deal to me, but considering the level of restaurant Miga is aiming to be and the prices they charge for the food. They should really try and do better.
