| - If you are a fan of Aburi style sushi (slightly seared sashimi on top of rice), this is definitely the place to visit. I heard a lot about Miku Toronto and definitely had high expectations going in. Miku completely exceeded my foodie, high expectations by a long shot.
For appetizers, my party tried the spicy steamed edamame, aonori tempura calamari, miso marinated tofu salad. The spicy steamed edamame was not soggy and has a great spicy kick to it. I am not a fan of edamame in general but I kept eating this cause it was good. The tempura calamari was crispy and goes well with the tosazu sauce. Finally, the tofu salad was fresh and I found it was interesting that they added the crispy tempeh. The dish presentation for all three dishes were amazing.
A lot of yelpers recommended the Miku roll so I definitely had to try it and those yelpers are spot on. I love that they are rolled in tobiko (fish eggs) and it adds a great uniqueness to differentiate it from a common maki/roll.
Of course, my party had to order all three aburi oshi sushi. Salmon Oshi Sushi, Ebi Oshi Sushi and Saba Oshi sushi were all flavourful and each have their distinguishable taste. The presentation of the sushi was incredible too just like sushi art. When I first saw it, I did not want to eat it! I've tried aburi sushi from other places but this place is definitely ranked number one.
We also tried the aburi sashimi selection. The presentation of this dish was jaw-dropping as I did not want to dig in. Even though I enjoyed this dish, I prefer the aburi sushi over aburi sashimi.
After all these dishes, we ordered our mains and I got the AAA Sterling Silver Prime Rib. The prime rib was tender and the blew my expectations as well since who knew a Japanese restaurant can serve a good prime rib, right? The baked potato puree was a bit dry though.
And finally, the dessert. Usually restaurants do a great job on appetizers and main dishes but lack behind on the dessert. You think that right? However, Miku Toronto saves the best for last. The Green Tea Opera is definitely one of the best desserts I've ever had. After one bite, it blew my mind with a food explosion. It was crunchy yet savoury at the same time. The green tea flavour was pretty strong as it complements well with the layers of wafer. Definitely a MUST order for sure!!!
Service was exceptional. When we sat down, our server explained where Miku started from and told us what they are well known for which is their aburi oshi sushi. He also asked if there were any allergy and dietary restrictions so he can inform the kitchen. He did not miss anything that we ordered since we ordered a lot. The atmosphere was great. The restaurant has a great modern look and feel to it especially if you sit in the sushi bar.
Overall, Miku Toronto definitely moved my foodie expectations even higher as everything they served had phenomenal dish presentation and flavours. I definitely will be back someday.
