    Nice upscale Japanese cuisine

    Popular and busy. Waited about 45min. Sushi quite good. One of the most well-known Japanese restaurants in downtown Vancouver.

    Amazing cuisine, lovely service but comes with paint fumes

    I would have graded this with 5/5 but the whole experience could have been better if there wasn't such a strong stench of paint fumes. We understand if the place has undergone some small renovations but business should resume only after the smell is gone....More

    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.

    Description
    We specialize in Aburi, or flamed-seared sushi, which was developed nearly a century ago in Japan. The act of applying fire directly to sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the fish, creating a new and exciting culinary experience. Miku owner Seigo Nakamura innovated the Aburi concept by crafting specialty sauces using non-traditional Japanese ingredients to pair with each type of fish. The light sear from the binchotan (Japanese bamboo charcoal) caramelizes the sauce, releasing a smoky aroma and bringing out the finest flavours in each piece of Aburi sushi. Miku Restaurant is within walking distance from the Pan Pacific Hotel, Canada Place, Fly Over Canada, Cruise Ship Terminals and Sea Bus.
