Miku is truly one of our favorite restaurants in Vancouver! The food is consistently outstanding, offering a perfect blend of flavors and presentation. Their signature Aburi sushi is a must-try and never disappoints. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with stunning waterfront views that add to the dining experience. It's the ideal spot for any occasion, whether it’s a casual outing or a special celebration. The service is top-notch—professional, attentive, and always friendly. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure you have an excellent experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional Japanese cuisine in downtown Vancouver!
