Very mediocre food with the fancy pretense of being a great restaurant. It seemed more like a factory! I ordered the 6 course menu which was so blah and mediocre. It’s too expensive for what it is. I tried many Michelin starred restaurants in Japan,...France and the US so I know what I’m talking about. If they offer a tasting menu — they should do something creative! There was nothing creative about their tasting menu: especially the ridiculous third course of sashimi😂(who includes just simple cut fish in a tasting menu!!!!) I couldn’t say wow about even one dish. So the take away: if you are traveling to Vancouver like I am, don’t come here! It’ll be a waste of your time!More

This could be the best sushi I have ever had. I had the premium sushi lunch and every single thing I ate was delicious. This place received the most recommendations on a social media site when I asked where to eat in Vancouver (I was...on holiday from the UK) and you can see why. Book - you won't be disappointed.More

Miku delivers a delightful experience for sushi enthusiasts. The sleek yet inviting atmosphere sets the tone for an evening of exquisite flavors. From the expertly crafted sashimi to the innovative sushi rolls, each dish at Sushi Symphony is a masterpiece. Freshness is paramount here, and...the attentive staff ensures a seamless dining experience. With a diverse menu and an artful presentation, Sushi Symphony stands out as a go-to spot for sushi aficionados in Vancouver.More

I had dinner at Miku because it was recommended by my hotel's concierge. However, I was very disappointed with this restaurant. First, the attitude of the hostess. She was rude and obnoxious and gave us the "we are too good and busy we don't care...if you eat here or not" attitude. Then, the food. It was not bad, but just OK. I lived in Japan for two years, so I know my Japanese food and this restaurant didn't deliver. They try to be so trendy and creative that they miss what real sushi is all about. And on top of that the prices are really expensive. I would not recommend this place.More

The food is really good, menu is very well curated and desserts are absolutely amazing. Service was flawless. However, we found the restroom ready dirty. It was very disappointing to see such a nice and fancy place with a restroom like that.

If you like sushi or sashimi from your local restaurant you may not want to eat here. Once you have dined here and tasted just how amazing sushi and sashimi (among other great items) can be , your regular sushi place may come across as...“gas station” sushi and sashimi . I enjoyed their 7 course chef dinner menu and Madam the 6 course menu. Often it would be the same with just one dish different, but not here, to different menus. The service was very well qualified as both he and I had to protest boldly when Madam requested just a little soy sauce for one of her dishes. Everything was well balanced in taste and portions, presentation spotless and it was evident that it was just not competence at a high level, it was great talent and vision for great surprises to your pallet. Wine card was surprisingly good for a place tfat us normally not big on wine, and we found a great New Zealand Pinot Noir. All my worries about a restaurant that is located in a tourist area with nice views (which often compromises the culinary approach) was absolutely needless. Rather than listing some of the fantastic dishes I would rather leave that to readers for themselves to explore. If you can have doubt whether a Japanese restaurant is worthy of their 1 Michelin Star, Miku will wash that away with their first dish. Great place, great culinary experience and for the overall taste experience actually very reasonably priced.More

I ordered from their carry out menu, which is different from their dine in menu. I ordered a Coal Harbor Bento box with two additional pieces of nigiri sushi. Everything in the bento box was delicious. It came with 4 traditional nigiri pieces, including one...of my favorites, sweet shrimp and 4 pieces of oshi sushi, which is pressed fish over rice made into a block that is then cut. In addition, there were two pieces of scallop just slightly seared , two crab fritters and 3 sashimi (lean tuna, salmon and kampachi). My opinion is you can judge how good a sushi restaurant is with whether they offer hotate and how good it is. Check and check on both. I wish I weren’t so jet lagged and had the energy to eat in.More

The best sushi I ever tasted. The service is fantastic, wonderful ambience (other than crying children… but we’ve all been there) Beautiful decor, love the fish painted on the ceiling. The sushi is masterful, textures and flavours.

Probably the best sushi experience in toto for Vancouver. The view is excellent, the food is excellent, the wait staff are exceptional. I had Japanese guests visiting and took them to Minku for dinner. I asked for a Japanese speaking waiter and one was easily...provided. My guests were impressed and that unto itself speaks volumes about the entire experience.More

Excellent meal at Miku which was just slightly tainted by the unfriendly reception team. We had booked a table, the restaurant was open but not full when we arrived but we were told we had to take a seat and wait for our table to...be checked. After 10 minutes I got bored with waiting so they showed us to a table. Our server was lovely and friendly and helped to redeem my opinion of the restaurant. The food was excellent. We had the white prawns in batter (my favourite), the sashimi platter and the sushi platter which were both delicious - the quality of the fish is excellent.More

Food was all beautiful and the presentation was like a work of art. The sashimi was the best I’ve ever tasted, it included prawn, scallop and blue fin tuna with the additional super cool touch of being served on ice cubes made from the sea...water of the pacific we could see from our table. Canada is rumoured to have the best sushi outside Asia and it did not disappoint. The fish was the freshest I’ve experienced and the taste was exceptional. Homemade soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger was an extra special touch we enjoyed. Overall a beautiful dinner that will live long in the memory. Our server was brilliant and remembered it was our anniversary, couldn’t do enough to help. We’ll be back on our next trip to Vancouver!More

This restaurant is a must-visit for its modern ambiance, exceptional service, and tantalizing Aburi creations. Their menu is creative and everything is delicious.

We went for dinner quite late, seen no kids at all. The „background“ music is quite loud, so I would not recommend it for kids.

This restaurant is around Canada Place so there must be disability parking in the area. I have not seen any myself. I don't know about free parking. Parking in this area is quite expensive.

There are different versions so you would need to ask a server or call ahead - but I had a sampler platter and distinctly remember none having dairy. Not the usual sushi sauces.
