| - I don't really eat a lot of Japanese food because my bf doesn't eat sea food at all so if I do have opportunity to eat seafood with friends I am always very excited! I had an early visit at this location back when MIKU Toronto first opened, the food was quite good but service was bit slow. I wrote a honest review n MIKU management actually contacted me directly to come back for a revisit even emailed/called me to personally apologized and thanking me for helping them to improve service. I was impressed and very excited to come back.
Me and my friends came back for lunch, she actually brought her 2 year old son this time :) hah the seating is quit comfortable we requested to change table for the toddler they disnt hesitate at all :):) My friend's son was playing with a table setting n dropped it on the floor. The passer by waiter who wasn't even for my table was aware of it n said no need to pick up from floor. Instead he gave us a new one.
Our waitress was very attentive and very warm. She was very helpful . We were looking for an dinner item at MIKU , they didn't have it for lunch but they totally bent it backwards n made accommodation to make that dish for us anyway.
The dishes we ordered were Totally delicious! We got fish and chips, and calamari tempura for starters. They were the BEST fish and chips and fried calamaris I have had! The fish came in small pieces two-bites-size I can tell they were NOT frozen fish by their texture. The batter was light golden n fluffy . Very moist bitting into. It came with Thin slices yam chips! I was thinking even if my bad didn't like fish, if we order this dish he could dig on sweet potato chips. My friend's tod loved the yam he pretty much ate all the rest :):) you also get quite a few pieces too 3 of us were able to get at least 2 pieces each person. Unlike some Japanese food u get very tinny serving . The calamari had tinny sea weed pieces in the batter. When the word "seaweed" might sound scary to some people in the batter, if you r open mind please give it a chance. It's very tinny amount and does not over power whole flavour of calamari at all. It's drizzled by some other brown sweet savoury sauce. So good I can eat this all day!
We also ordered the 12 pieces Shoshi that each piece were diff kind of their own ,and the samon sushi. The samon were lightly seared n raw under so you have two kinds of texture biting into. The rice came with sushi is well seasoned/flavoured . They have the most delicious sushi I have had. U do not need to dip soy sauce or other stuff.
We also ordered baked muscles that came with bacon and Russell sprouts also seasoned in garlic and n flavoured dipping olive oil . So good.
Over all I love the atmosphere of this place . It's very warm and inviting. I came before for dinner, this time I came for lunch. The lunch is quite nice since they have high ceiling and all glass window u get quite exposure of sun light for a winter season , any extra sun adds coziness :)
I am very satisfied with the food and service here . They present the true culture of Japanese food at the same time they are very Canadian. I also like the uniforms of employees that they wear well fitted white shirt/tie/vest. Even our waitress her outfit actually looked good on her. Kinda sick of some places like Earls or KEG have waitstaff wearing short skirts or Joey wearing cocktail dress. That I can imagine they can make ladies slightly older or kids feel uncomfortable . This place seems more upscale and more friendly towards all ages. Even my friend brought her 2 yr old son it was fine. It's obviously for adults but don't restate to bring ur little one for a lunch treat at Lake front :)
Expecting for about $35 plus tax n tip for lunch. I am very happy with the food n service. I think you do pay for better Japanese food than average sushi joint! Their stuff is much better seasoned , much Freshier. And the food is packed in flavour ! Each single piece of sushi is individually seasoned in perfection in meat and rice separately. Takes a lot of work making just one plate. And the rice was warm when served which is little but important detail. I'd love to come back soon in the near future and I totally recommend this place to others :) Japanese culture present a lot of meticulous work in arts n food. This place u can totally experience that if u love seafood :) Hope they have more items for such as beef and chicken for non seafood eaters in the future so if ppl are going for a date ,the ppl don't eat seafood can find something to share . But if you are sushi fan u this place will ruin the rest sushi places for u(in a good way ) hah.
