Kaisen Soba Peperoncino ($28)
To me, this tasted like a seafood pasta but with soba noodles instead. The dish had a lot of ingredients, all fresh seafood so that was good. Came with one jumbo prawn, one scallop, squid, clams, mussels, mushrooms, tomatoes and mixed with arugula. At first I was slightly confused since it seemed like just seafood and salad (the soba was hiding at the bottom). I really liked the soba noodles - the flavors were there, was slightly spicy which I liked. One thing I would comment is the presentation surprisingly did not appeal to me - when served, the clam shells were opened but you can clearly see the clam meat wasn't even inside the shell - displaying empty shells definitely isn't the greatest. Clams and mussels were dry, the scallop was overcooked - kind of disappointed there was only one prawn and one scallop when the menu stated it in plural. All the seafood actually had no taste (wasn't seasoned). You could tell they were cooked separately and just added on top of the noodles. The seafood and noodles combined was a tasty dish altogether.
Miku Roll ($22)
Salmon, crab, uni, cucumber, rolled in tobiiko and topped with Miku sauce. I could rarely taste any of the uni. For an 8 piece roll at this price, I would expect to taste a bit more of the ingredients inside, however I found the mayo and Miku sauce overpowering the roll. It was tasty, but nothing special in my opinion.
Miku Signature Sushi selection ($36)
Chef's selection of specialty nigiri, roll and oshi sushi - total of 10 pieces. To be honest I was slightly disappointed with this. For chef's selection and at that price, I must say the selection was weak. I was expecting more high end fish - at least a piece of unagi maybe? Or at least tuna. Of the 10 pieces, 2 were rolls and 2 were oshi sushi - not impressed. Seabream sushi was my favorite.
The waiter recommended the Miku and Red Wave roll - had I known this signature sushi selection would have a piece of each, I would not have ordered the Miku roll on the side. Fail on the waiter's side as he knew it was our first time here.
Toro sushi (Market price - $10)
I love fatty tuna. This was good but I've had better.
Green Tea Opera (13.5)
I must say, the dessert was one of the best dishes of the night. It was quite a small piece so quite expensive. I personally really like Opera cakes, so having it green tea flavored was definitely a plus - layers of green tea, matcha cream, dark chocolate, and red bean paste with crunchy bits in the middle, yum. A scoop of Matcha icecream was also served on the side.
Don't get me wrong I did enjoy the meal. However, I would have expected more out of it given it was a restaurant from Vancouver and not to mention the prices were quite steep - slightly disappointed I must say.
