I finally had a chance to try out Miku after seeing and hearing the positive feedback about this restaurant and have to say I'm a little disappointed. The service was really friendly and attentive but the food was a bit lacking.
I came in during their Winterlicious 2018 menu to sample a variety of their offerings and found the food to only be OK. I tried their aburi sushi selection, bacon wrapped beef tenderloin and green tea opera from the Winterlicious menu. In addition I ordered their signature Miku roll and Grapefruit Basil Smash for a drink.
They advertised their sushi to be more unique/fusion which didn't require soy sauce and wasabi but I found that there wasn't enough flavour for a few of the pieces. The fish also didn't seem the freshest. The Miku roll was also extremely similar to JaBistro's Jabistroll but I found could not compare.
My favourite dish was the Bacon Wrapped Beef Tenderloin. This dish was delicious. The beef was tender and juicy and was accompanied by nicely grilled brussel sprouts. Highly recommend getting just their brussel sprouts as an appetizer.
The Green Tea Opera dessert was also pretty good. A cake with 7 different layers of green tea and matcha. The cake was very rich and the little scoop of ice cream really helped offset that.
I'd say this place is a 3.5. I had pretty high expectations for the seafood and that's where I think missed the mark. I enjoyed their other dishes but they are supposed to be known for their fish which is why I'm a bit disappointed.
I'd probably come back if a friend asked to go but I don't think I'll choose this as a first choice as their price point opens up a lot of options downtown.
