    Our 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!

    We had the combination dine-out and single entree. highly recommend the hamachi, steak poivre and the steelhead salmon. there is something quite genius about combining a beautifully delicate fish with a mild tzaziki and fingerling potato with real crab. fresh and lemony. i would have never thought to pair these flavours like this. amazing.

    Loved it, such a great service and fresh sushi. It would have been nice if some pf the torched sushi was a bit warmer and had less rice. Otherwise it was great.
