| - I came here on a Saturday for lunch. It was moderately full, enough that it didn't make me want to second guess my choice of restaurant, but not as packed as I'd anticipated, as the volume of positive Yelp reviews led me to believe.
I ordered the unagi rice combo, which comes with miso soup, a salad, and a dessert. The eel was the most tender and soft unagi I'd ever tasted. I don't know if that necessarily makes it the best unagi though, but the flavour was good. It was a good sized portion -- as in there wasn't too much, which is what I find for a lot of restaurants -- and left room for dessert.
I had the tofu cheesecake for dessert and it was amazing! It was really light and smooth, and had a thin crust with black sesame bits. I'm not a huge fan of rich New York style cheesecakes, so this was right up my alley. My mother had the Earl Grey Chiffon, which was not at all good. The sponge was wet, not moist; stretchy, not cottony; and didn't have a lot of flavour.
I feel Cafe Michi is pricey. My experience here was good, but I don't think I'll be going back soon.
