| - TLDR: Try their aburi o toro sushi (fat tuna belly), prime rib, and the green tea opera dessert!
Miku is an upscale, classy restaurant, which is located at 10 Bay St or 88 Queens Quay, RBC Waterpark Place (I'm not sure which address is correct as both came up). There are lots of seating available inside the restaurant and in the patio. You can choose to sit in the patio, and I saw people getting blankets in case they were cold. The service was excellent. The staff were very, very professional and knew their stuff. They even went the extra mile by asking us if we were celebrating a special occasion, although we didn't mention anything at the time of reservation. It was a sweet surprise when they brought out the green tea opera dessert decorated with a congratulatory message at the end of our meal. :)
As for food, we shared Pan Seared Scallops, Red Wave Roll, O toro sushi, and a four-course Shokai Kaiseki.
Kaiseki started with a cold platter of assorted oyster, mussels, oyster shooter, scallops and more; then followed by AAA Sterling Silver Prime Rib, five pieces of aburi sushi, and the green tea opera dessert. I particularly enjoyed their aburi o toro sushi, prime rib and the green tea opera dessert.
Aburi o toro sushi had a rich flavour and soft texture, and it just melted in my mouth. The prime rib was probably one of the best prime ribs I've had. My fiancé loved the mashed potato side as well. The sauce on the meat was great, too. We both enjoyed the green tea opera dessert. It was both crispy and soft. It tasted like a mixture of Nanaimo, green tea ice cream and pieces of a crunchy chocolate.
And it's true what they tell you, no need to dip anything to the soy sauce (they still provide sweet soy sauce and regular soy sauce), the maki and sushi pieces were delicious as they were. Miku prides itself in being one of the better aburi sushi options in Toronto, but sadly, I wasn't very impressed with their five-piece aburi sushi plate. The dish included a piece of Salmon Oshi Sushi, which had a slice of jalapeño, and this overwhelmed the taste of the sushi; and salmon aburi sushi was actually one of the better ones.
As for drinks, we each tried a different Japanese plum wine, and both plum wines were decent. Next step for the Miku restaurant would be to make sure that they do a thorough job of cleaning in the dining room. There were fruit flies, flies and other insects at our table, which was a big letdown for a restaurant of this kind, and this distracted us from enjoying our dinner to the fullest. That said, Miku provides a top-notch service and nicely-lit, modern atmosphere. They bring out candles to each table in the evening. It would be an amazing place to impress your date as well as a great lunch spot for downtown workers.
