I should preface that this is based off of a winterlicious meal.
Pro:
- The minimalistic tables and nice ambience of the restaurant make it a pleasant dining experience
- the service is great and the wait staff knowledgeable about the food.
- Their signature jalapeno salmon sushi consisting of torched salmon skin separated by a layer of rice is unique due to the interesting texture.
- Their beef tenderloin skewers are also cooked to a perfect medium rare and served with a delicious mixed green garnish.
- the chocolate croissant bread pudding was the best I've every had.
Con:
- I can't believe this but I've had better sushi at an AYCE restaurant. This is not to say the the meal didn't have spectacular highlights (see above). However, when the sushi was bad it really made you feel ripped off. The aburi (flamed salmon) was paired with an all too sour glaze and the yellow tail tuna ( was dry and bitter.
Conclusion:
I imagine if you go to Miku often and knew which dishes were the best of the best this review may have turned out differently. Unfortunately, going off the ratio of good to bad dishes in their winterlicious menu I would say that 1/3 of the dishes are well done and appropriate for the price, 1/3 are acceptable but only on par with a good AYCE sushi place and finally the last 1/3 which is a mess of poor quality ingredients and disappointing pairings of flavour. It is this last third of dishes that make Miku a hit and miss wheel of chance. For a $$$ priced resturant this is too much inconsistency.
