I was excited that Miku opened in Toronto. Now we'll have another torched/pressed sushi place to enjoy. My usual go-to place for that delicious Melt-in-your mouth seared sushi is usually Jabistro. However, after my returning trips to Miku, it has truly won me over. I love how large this space is. No doubt, its great for a small gathering or even larger parties because Miku is a pretty decent sized restaurant compared to most Japanese places. It has a very nice modern vibe to it. Like Guu, you get greeted with people shouting japanese greetings to you as you get lead through the entrance to your table.
Must order:
Miku specialty roll - love the combo of the seared sushi goodness and the ingredients inside the roll (this includes Uni) $22.
Their Oshi sushi (seared pressed sushi) was a little bit small in comparison to Jabistro. I was least impressed with the Ebi Oshi Sushi (rather dry compared to the Jabistro). They did a better job with Salmon and Makeral than their Ebi. I love how the Salmon had a pepper on top and another salmon piece tucked in the middle of the pressed rice.
Dessert: nothing special with their matcha chocolate lava cake.
Order the Matcha opera cake instead please. I love their Jasmin icecream (can order separately or with the chocolate lava cake). Their miso Caramel icecream was an interesting flavour but not my fave.
I love the Sable fish - it was cooked nicely $35 but rather small for two people to share. We also ordered a bunch of other things to try so I guess it worked out.
Other dishes we ordered were not as spectacular as the ones I listed. I would definitely go back for their MIKU roll though!!
