| - I first heard of Miku when I was visiting Vancouver last year, but wasn't able to try it there because the wait time was about an hour and a half. Naturally when I heard they were opening a location in Toronto, I got very excited and dragged my parents there to try it with me (and so they could foot the bill :P)
We came on a Wednesday evening pretty late (around 7:30 or 8 PM) without reservations, and luckily didn't even have to wait for a seat.
One standout thing I will note about Miku right off the bat is the level of service here. The staff are incredibly attentive, and each time they bring out a dish they will explain it thoroughly to you and describe all the ingredients in it. It was particularly impressive in our case, because one of the things we ordered was the Miku Signature Sushi Selection, which came with 10 completely different pieces of sushi. Our main waiter also did a phenomenal job of checking up on us periodically, chatting with us, answering our (mostly my) questions, and generally making sure we were happy and satisfied. It also helped that he was cute ;)
In terms of the food, I particularly enjoyed the Miku Signature Sushi Selection, and honestly I wouldn't mind just ordering this for myself because of all the variety. All of the sushi are seared/blowtorched, and if you haven't tried anything like that before, then let me tell you... you have to. The slightly warm sushi ends up being incredibly creamy in texture, and it is super flavourful and delicious.
Other items we ordered:
Miku Roll - This is one of their blowtorched rolls (8 pcs.) which includes salmon, crab, uni, cucumber, tobiko, and Miku sauce. You also get one of these in the signature sushi selection, described above. Quite delicious, I enjoyed this a lot, as I did with all of the torched sushi.
Sashimi - 6 pieces of atlantic salmon and 6 pieces of bluefin tuna (I think). The sashimi came arranged very attractively in this big bowl thing and also tasted fresh, but to be honest it wasn't anything that was amazing. It comes with two types of soy sauce (sweet and normal), but to be honest the difference between the two of them was very slight.
Dessert - ordered their famous green tea opera cake, which according to our waiter takes 3 days to prepare because it is made up of seven unique layers (green tea, chocolate, hazelnut, red bean, etc.) It came as two small rectangular slices, a scoop of matcha ice cream, and a very thin sesame wafer thing. I enjoyed it and appreciated the artistry of the presentation and obviously the skill and effort required to make the dessert, but at the same time thought it was pretty pricey ($13.50) for such a small portion.
Miku is a beautiful restaurant, and I would absolutely come again for the delicious food and stellar service. The amount of food we ordered was sufficient for 3 people - we were satisfied but not grossly full. The bill can rack up pretty quickly, so I wouldn't make it a regular thing, but it's nice for a special occasion or if you just feel like treating yourself.
