| - I first heard about this restaurant through a friend who has been a big fan of this waterfront restaurant originally from Vancouver B.C. With much excitement we decided to try this on opening day. Miku is located near the RBC Waterpark Place. My first impression of this place was that it is a pretty trendy upscale place with nice high ceilings and nice ambiance. The music was very uplifting yet chill and dance to the beat music.
My friend had pretty fond memories of the aburi in Vancouver, so we decided to try it! We decided to try the Salmon Oshi, Ebi Oshi, Saba Oshi, as well as the Coal Harbour platter.
The presentation of everything that we ordered was pretty amazing. Lots of attention to detail to the way it was presented.
The top layer of the aburi was pretty amazing (melts in your mouth kind of feeling). There were about 6 pieces per dish so good for sharing with 2-3 people. I found that the salmon aburi (the one with the green circle on it, perhaps chilli pepper??) has a spicy kick to it. The one with the eel had an interesting burnt taste to it. I now love torched sushi!
The Coal Harbour platter was very nice as well for sampling some of the chef's selection of fresh oysters, mussels, jumbo prawns, kaisen poke, scallop ceviche, and kale goma-ae. Each piece was very meticulously placed and nicely arranged. Everything was very fresh. The most interesting experience I had aside from trying all the fresh seafood was the oyster shooter where they put oysters in a shot glass mixed with soy sauce and you shoot it like vodka. It tasted kind of salty and the oyster got stuck in the bottom of the glass. But overall it was a fun experience trying it.
For dessert we decided to try the Green Tea Opera. It was like a piece of art and tasted amazing with many layers of different textures smushed into one piece of cake. I like the texture of waffers and pretty sure they incorporated some of that into the dessert as well with coffee taste. There is a piece of crystsallized sugar on the side as well which I found added a nice pretty touch to the overall presentation of the dessert. It was so pretty that I did not want to eat it.
Overall the service was pretty good and the waiters were pretty friendly. In fact we had a quick chat with the waiter and found out he recently moved to Toronto from Vancouver as well!
All in all, if you have not tried it yet I would recommend trying this place at least once.
