| - I was pleasantly surprised by Miku as I've heard this location isn't as good as the Vancouver one. We came here for our anniversary dinner, and enjoyed it so much that we came again when my sister came for a visit.
4/5 - Service
The host was friendly and seated us right away. After a bit a slow start, the service picked up and our waiter was great. The waiter was knowledgeable and able to make recommendations and suggestions. He also make sure to check in on us after every course to see how we were enjoying the meal, as well as checked in periodically to make sure we had what we needed. The overall flow and course of the meal was well timed, so we didn't feel like we were waiting long between courses. Our water was kept topped up through out the meal, and our plates were cleared away fairly quickly.
5/5 - Food
We ordered the Kaiseki Miku dinner. Which is a bit pricey at $98 per person, but worth it. It's great if you want to celebrate a special occasion. The Miku comes with 5 courses selected by the chef. What I enjoyed about this was that you get a try a variety of things from the menu, and not just strictly sushi.
All their courses are beautiful and look like works of art. First course was sashimi, that came with a variety of raw fish and a spot prawn. The spot prawn was my favourite delicious and sweet. I usually don't like prawns raw as i find the texture a bit wird, but this was delicious. 2nd course was the raw oysters, pickled vegetables, tuna tartar, and a scallop dish. This was served in a cool white round bowl that split into three. I loved it all especially the raw oysters, which was served with a vinaigrette that complemented the taste of the oyster nicely. The scallop was seared and cooked perfectly. 3rd course was the prime rib. The meat yummy, tender, and melted in your mouth. I loved the sauce that was served with it, buttery and delicious. This is one of the best prime ribs that I've ever tried. I also really enjoyed the vegetables and the medley of mushrooms that accompanied the meat. I found the vegetables a tad over salted, but when eaten with the prime rib it balanced out. The portion size of the meat is decent as well. The fourth course is a variety of their different types of sushi including their aburi oshi sushi. I enjoyed all the different types especially the one that had fresh crab in it. Apparently, all their sushi has fresh crab in it. Lastly for the fifth course dessert came with a trio of desserts including a mini version of their famous green tea opera, a tofu mousse, and green tea ice cream. I'm not the biggest fan of the green tea opera. It's an elegant looking multi layered dessert, but I find that taste a little too subtle for my palate. I did really enjoy the tofu mouse that comes with fresh fruit, I found that it was light, refreshing, and had a silky texture to it. By the end of the meal I was really full and satisfied. Sometimes, when I get these chef meals, I feel like I can eat more. not the case in this situation.
My husband was looking for Charashi, which they don't unfortunately serve at dinner. But the waiter did recommend getting a sashimi platter, with a side of rice. This was similar to the 1st course in the Miku with more portions of the sashimi. He also ordered the Coal Harbour Platter that comes with fresh oysters, a oyster shooter, mussels, prawns, scallop crudo, and ceviche. He enjoyed the variety and freshness of the platter.
Decor 5/5
The decor is a balance of contemporary and Asian decor. It's elegant and unique. They have very unique lights that are on long rods. They chairs are big and nice and comfy. I liked the koi fish that had on one of the walls. The place is pretty big and has lots of seating, including a pretty big patio area.
We've only ever made reservations coming here, and I'd recommend it as they can get fairly busy during the dinner rush hour.
I'd definitely be back to eat here again.
