- BBroughanVIPVancouver / British Columbia •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoOur server Lenny was so friendly and helpful. Both our server and food runner took time to explain every part of the menu, and the aspects to each dish we ordered. My partner and I are certain we’ve had some of the best cocktails and the best sushi at Miku. Quality is their specialty and their service is always impeccable. Especially on a busy night like Valentine’s Day, everything ran smoothly for us and we were provided with a booth for the two of us which made dinner extra special! Thank you to the manager as well for responding quickly via email when I had questions about the set menu! Highly recommend their Aburi set, as it gives you a chance to try a variety of items, and for drinks the bergamot sour is a go to for a sweet yet balanced cocktail!More infoMiku Restaurant - VancouverPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Coal Harbour•4.8

- JJohaanVancouver / British Columbia •1 review5.0Dined on 9 Feb 2025My friends and I had an amazing experience here! The sushi here was great and the food came to us fairly quickly. The staff were active in making sure we had what we needed and they were super friendly as well! It was my friend’s birthday and they brought him out a dessert as a treat and he really appreciated it! After we finished up around 8:45, we realized that they had karaoke later in the night so we left and came back for it and it was so much fun. Everyone here was so kind and inviting, my friends and I are noting Kamei Royale as a spot to come back to in the future!More infoKamei Royale DowntownPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Downtown•4.7
