Omg. From the service to the food to the drink.. this place was absolutely fabulous. The server (I don't remember his name but he had a great easy going personality) broke the ice asking if we really came all the way to Toronto from Los Angeles just to watch the dodgers play there, that he'd much rather go to LA. The weather in Toronto this week has been in the 20's and 30's! The restaurant does serve the dodgers when they are in town! If it's good enough for them... I ordered a Canadian whiskey to start off. It was very nice and smooth. I think it was a Sleeman and sons? Not positive but I really liked it! Then the food. I ordered the first roll from every section. There were some repeats which he advised me would happen but I didn't mind! The sushi was so tender and had great flavor. My husband ordered the ribeye steak and that was really really good. I would order that definitely next time and come here again! read more

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Miku! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance felt warm and inviting, with that perfect Harbourfront vibe -- relaxed yet sophisticated. Every dish we tried was a treat: the sushi was impeccably fresh, the presentation stunning, and the flavors balanced perfectly. I especially loved the aburi salmon -- tender, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The staff were incredibly attentive without being overbearing, making sure every detail was taken care of and checking in at just the right moments. It's clear they really care about the guest experience. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm near the waterfront -- this spot is a must for anyone craving top-notch sushi and a memorable dining atmosphere! read more

Miku is one of those places that really lives up to the hype. The food was beautifully presented, especially the aburi sushi--it had that perfect balance of flavor and texture. You can tell there's a lot of attention to detail in every dish. The location by the waterfront adds a lot to the overall experience. Sitting there with the view, everything just feels a bit more relaxed and enjoyable. Service was smooth and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a special evening. read more

This is first time trying something that isn't the kaiseki menu. I ordered the Chefs selection set which includes: 3 aburi sushi, 2 premium sushi And 3 off-menu items Server was polite and ensured that my dietary restrictions were met. (Thank you Cat!) I had previously come here several years prior and wanted to try their kaiseki menu this year but but I arrived too early so I settled with the chefs plate and was not disappointed. The wagyu pieces were so soft and tender, marbled and very fatty. The red wine sauce was just the right touch and wasn't overpowering, the vegetables were fork tender while still holding shape. The salmon was grilled to perfection. The torched sushi oh my god the torch. I'm an extra char girl so when she made sure the mayonnaise was extra torched for my dietary restriction i was elated. And the fatty tuna nigiri was such a nice surprise. It was the softest tuna I've ever had. The squid with the fruit jelly on top was unique and helped break the char grill with the tart sweetness. This time i can proudly say even the menu pleased me! read more

TLDR - underwhelming overall, and worse than Miku Vancouver. Underground parking available. Ordered crispy brussel sprouts, ebi fritters, garden select, and oshi. Both sushi were bland. Brussels sprouts were burnt. Ebi fritters were average. Service was mediocre during lunch. Miku Toronto tossed in a birthday dessert. If I went to Miku Toronto first, I never would have went to Miku Vancouver. The difference is night and day. Customer service was terrible as Oliver did not respond back to such a poor experience. Would not rrecommend Miku Toronto. Highly recommend Miku Vancouver. read more

It was my first time here and I was really impressed with my experience here. We ordered the hamachi crudo and a bunch of sushi and everything was delicious. The standout for me was the salmon oshi sushi! Our server was very attentive and gave great recommendations as well.

Came to Miku Toronto with coworkers for their Winterlicious dinner, and this was my first time here. I don't usually go for high-end sushi restaurants, but Miku has been on my list for a while, so I was genuinely excited to finally check it out. The restaurant is located on the ground level of an office building, but the moment you step inside the restaurant, everything changes. You go from bright, corporate lighting to a moody, romantic space with soft, dim lighting and a refined, intimate ambiance... it truly feels like entering a different world. Bonus points for the complimentary coat check, which is a huge win during winter when everyone is lugging around massive puffer jackets. We were seated in plush, velvety sofa booths near the bar, with a view of the street, which felt both cozy and upscale. Shoutout to our server, Shintaro, who was phenomenal with his warm, attentive, and energetic service, which made the whole experience even better. We started with drinks: my coworkers ordered sake flights, while I went with their signature cocktail, the kumquat cosmo. It was sweet and citrusy, and exactly what I needed on a Tuesday night after work. For appetizers, we all chose the sushi and sashimi selection, which included 9 pieces of chef-selected sashimi, chef-selected nigiri, and aburi oshi sushi. This was chef's kiss. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the sushi and nigiri were perfectly seasoned and sauced, so that we didn't even need soy sauce (though they do have a lovely house-made sweet soy sauce). I ordered the Red Wave Roll just to use their house-made sweet soy sauce... and wow. I've never had sushi that didn't fall apart after biting into it For my main, I went with the roast black cod. It was cooked beautifully, with a tender, slightly chewy texture that was rich but not overwhelming. For dessert, I went with their famously loved green tea opera. It's a small green tea sponge cake layered with matcha buttercream, red bean cream, and a hazelnut wafer crust, paired with a rich, velvety matcha ice cream on the side. Balanced, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, Miku lived up to (and honestly exceeded) the hype. Incredible food, top-notch service, and a beautiful atmosphere. read more

This dish feels like such a gentle little indulgence... the shrimp are perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and juicy inside, and that creamy sauce just melts everything together so beautifully. Every bite is light, comforting, and a little bit addictive in the sweetest way. I honestly didn't want it to end, and I already know I'll be coming back just to feel this kind of happiness again read more

Back for their one off buffet. It was during a snow storm so it was quieter than what one would expect. Service was nice and dishes were actively cleared. Buffet items were diligently refilled. Overall the quality was decent although the selection was a touch limited. Sushi and Aburi sushi was definitely the consistently good part of their offering but that's to be expected given that this is what they specialize in. Highlights include: tuna sushi with truffle on top, sweet shrimp, scallops, their trio of pressed sushi. Other highlights included: ham carving station was surprisingly good as was the prime rib, which was perfectly cooked. In fact, the prime rib was probably the best cooked. I've had in any buffet style prime rib. One small disappointment was they did not provide au jus but two different condiments instead. Those condiments were not liquid based so the prime rib ended up being a bit drier than expected, even though it was cooked perfectly nicely. Pro tip: go to the udon station and use the Curry Wagyu sauce and put it on top of your prime rib. It is incredible. Fried mackerel was nice. Shrimp cocktail was a touch dry. And they probably served a little too much fried food. One surprising part was the desserts which were quite possibly the best part of the buffet. I believe they had the dessert chef from Aburi Hana come and do these as the quality is a way above a normal buffet. Mochi was super soft and delicate. Match crème brule was excellent. The coffee pudding was also incredible. The soft serve ice cream was a little tasteless though. read more

Its ingredients are fresh and presented exquisitely, leaving a lasting impression. The modern yet comfortable atmosphere makes it an ideal place to enjoy high-quality sushi, both elegant and relaxed. For those who appreciate the art of sushi making, this is definitely worth a try. read more

We came here for an early dinner and they accommodated us without a reservation, although it shouldn't have been an issue anyway because it was around 5. By the time we left the place was getting more crowded! The salmon roll was good but I felt like it had too much rice and not enough salmon. The crispy Japanese chicken thigh was delicious and so was the sauce. The espresso martinis were really good! Our servers were kind and helpful, but there was a very serious vibe to the place to the point where it almost felt a bit too serious. read more

Went there for winterlicious, great food but still slightly expensive. Worth it because the quality is there, just the portions are not suitable for when you're hungry.

My friend took me out to celebrate my graduation. We ordered 1 of the salmon oshi sushi, ebi oshi sushi, saba oshi sushi, red wave roll, and the miku roll. I enjoyed the salmon oshi and the ebi oshi but didn't enjoy the saba oshi since it had mackerel and tasted too fishy for my liking. The other ones were good but nothing amazing in my opinion. My party also ordered more of the salmon oshi sushi , red wave roll and miku roll as they were favourites among the party. The service was attentive and the waiter would always come by to fill up our water glasses. The interior was nice and upscale which foreshadowed the price of our bill. Our total was around $200 including tax and tip. The sushi is very high quality but definitely a bit overpriced imo. read more

I came here with my friends for Winterlicious! We made an online reservation. When we got there, we checked in our coats and were seated after a brief wait. We got the lunch set - $55 for an app, main, and dessert. I got the Miku Zen, Aburi Sushi Plate, and Green Tea Opera. The staff bringing out the food would all us every time if we wanted an explaination of what each individual item was, and answered all our questions on what else was in the food - really helpful person. The miso soup came first and that was very nice, warm, and salty. The Miku Zen came shortly after, and it was pretty big. I thought it might not have space for my main. The couscous salad was my favorite, next being the tempura and tataki. I thought the beef was a bit too salty, but it still tasted nice. The main came next, and it was good, but some pieces were particularly overpowering, making the next piece taste less. Would've helped to get a recommendation as to the order of pieces to eat it in. Then we got the dessert. My plate had some dried stains on the edge (not touching the food though), which I assume came from dishwashing - maybe they air dry their plates. The fruit was also not really fresh tasting, but the cake and the ice cream were great. The cake had a delightful crunch at the bottom, and the ice cream was very matcha like to me. read more

We were in downtown so I had to cross this one off my list. I will come back here to try their premium rolls, it will take a huge chunk of my bank account but that's okay. I decided to try the spicy salmon roll, for the posh environment the roll wasn't anything special. The roll had a smell to it a fishy smell I didn't like, I liked the nice takeout box, the service was quick I did not have to wait too long. To be honest I think Toro toro is the best sushi I had, if you are looking for ambiance or a date night and something expensive you can come here,I want to come back here to try the premium rolls but I have to save some money. read more

My boyfriend made a reservation for lunch at this location and this place did not disappoint! Service was quick and friendly. Even though we arrived 15 minute early, we got seated right away. Every item we ordered was delicious and fresh. We ordered: - Niku udon (9/10) this was extremely creamy and flavorful, but the wagyu was a bit chewy - Hamachi crudo (9/10) fresh and yummy - Salmon oshi sushi (10/10) my favorite item!!! This dish was so flavorful and the perfect amount of fish and rice - Miku select (8/10) majority of the pieces were great but a few pieces were a bit more fishy Overall, I had a wonderful experience eating here and enjoyed my food thoroughly! Pricing is on the more expensive side. read more

Ordered the Coal Harbour and Miku course meal for two people. Although it is a course meal, it's also a tasting menu. It doesn't mention this on the menu, but our waitress informed us when we ordered. I would still recommend it as the presentation of the food was spectacular. The taste was also superb. We forgot to take a picture of the oshi sushi before eating (got too excited). If you don't want to shell out a lot of money for the course meal, I would suggest ordering oshi sushi. It's a must at Miku! read more

We came here for dinner on our last night in Toronto because Japanese is one of our favorite genres of food. My husband should have researched the menu more because it is quite limited to just sushi and 4 non-sushi entrees. Parking can be challenging- your only option is the building garage. We ordered unagi nigiri, o-toro nigiri, wagyu striploin, the miku roll, salmon oshi (4 pcs), and aburi oshi sampler (3 pcs). Oshi is pressed sushi. The food came out pretty quick, but we were not impressed- portions were small, the wagyu steak and pressed sushi were blah without much taste and very underwhelming in terms of flavor. The best part was probably the fatty tuna belly & unagi sushi. The prices were astronomically high and not worth it imo. Service was mediocre- definitely could be better. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for us (we left still hungry). I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Japanese food w/ lots of sushi options. read more

I'm very happy that Miku is just as good now as I remember it being the first time I tried it. While some other Toronto restaurants have now matched their quality, that isn't a bad thing at all. This time, I came for a business lunch, and we got great feedback from our guests from out of town. We tried a number of things, including the tried and true Oshi Sushi. The lunch menu was quite limited - I do wish there were more options, especially from an appetizers perspective. In fact, when I look at the latest menu online, I'm pretty sure there's a chunk missing! It made ordering a bit trickier, as we wanted to share dishes. We ordered the Hamachi Crudo ($25), Hotate Crudo ($26), Miku Select ($38), and a Aburi Oshi Sampler each ($10.50). I was a big fan of the crudos - both had a very unique flavour and weren't repetitive at all. The Aburi Oshi Sampler was great for everyone at the table to try. I did feel like the Miku Select was a bit awkward for sharing, it's more of an individual sampling platter. It does seem worth it though, and a good option for people not sharing. For dessert, we ordered the Green Tea Opera ($17) and Mango Mochi Dome ($16). For $17, I felt the Green Tea Opera was a bit small - I remember it being bigger! I also wasn't the biggest fan of the Mochi Dome, but the other guests enjoyed it. I think it reminded me too much of a marshmallow texture. Overall the food was amazing as always. The service was a bit slow at times, especially when we wanted to order dessert and get the bill. read more

This is my first time trying out this restaurant for Winterlicious 2025. Unfortunately it was not what I expected. Fish quality was mediore. I expected more given the price point.

Visited the Toronto location and was delighted to find easy reservations and parking in the attached garage. Parking isn't validated but it is super easy. The meal was delicious! I am a fan of the Vancouver location and was so happy to find one in Toronto. You must try the salmon oshi. The Ebi fritters were popular with the teens in our group. The scallop crudo was perfectly prepared and a great starter. And the re wave is gluten free. Pricey meal for lunch but worth it. Service was terrific and the location is convenient if you're visiting downtown. read more

Took my mom to Miku for their Winterlicious menu. Cant vouch for their normal a-la-carte menu, but the Winterlicious food was so yummy! We started with Miku Zen, and the best part was definitely the miso salmon and tuna tartar. The sashimi was also very fresh. Aburi sushi didn't wow me, but the kaisen don had some really yummy components like the spicy salmon paste. Green tea opera cake was kind of a let down, but I think it's just because I personally am not very into chocolate and matcha mix. Winterlicious is definitely worth visiting once, I'm not too sure about what a normal dining experience might look like there though :) read more

Came for their 7 course tasting menu for a birthday celebration and left feeling quite full! Each course was plated and presented so beautifully with an in depth description of the menu itself. My personal favorite was the wagyu steak but it was overly drenched in sauce and too salty for my liking, which masked the natural flavor of the wagyu. While everything tasted good, there was no wow factor for any of the courses which may have just been my unrealistic expectation considering the price of the meal. The whole meal lasted around 2 hours which I enjoyed being able to savor each bite and the dining experience in itself. I think the money was more worth it for the experience than the food and would personally like to try their sushi and rolls (rather than a tasting menu) next time I get to visit. However, I'd definitely recommend the tasting menu for a special occasion! read more

Oh Miku. I was looking forward to coming here to celebrate! And I was not disappointed. For appetizer, we ordered the wagyu carpaccio. This was presented beautifully. The wagyu was placed on top of a pickled veggie and decorated delicately with flower petals on each piece. The star of the show was definitely the salmon oshi. We also ordered the Miku roll, salmon sashimi, o-toro and unagi nigiri. All of these tasted so fresh! No fishy after taste at all. The green tea opera and matcha latte were delicious (and importantly not too sweet). They also decorated the ice cream beautifully as well. Our server came by to check in with us and refill our drinks frequently. Service was efficient and friendly. Excited to visit again! read more

I had dinner with a party of 7 during a profession conference in early June. Miku was just up the street from our hotel, and we were not disappointed. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Our server was fast, polite, and knowledgeable regarding the menu. We all had drinks and ate appetizers and sushi family style, with our server offering suggestions as we went. Everything was fantastic. This is not an inexpensive place to eat, and my boss got a hefty bill by the time we were done, but for seven people it was fair - we also benefitted from the exchange rate :-) In any event, this place is wonderful. A solid five! read more

Great service, ambiance is inviting and fun and the look of the place is beautiful.

Excellent service and equally delicious food! I came here alone after a particularly difficult day and course after course was fantastic. They were especially accommodating regarding my gluten allergy. Everything was literally melt in my mouth delicious. In the top 5 sushi restaurants that have ever tried. After a small hiccup at the beginning of my time there (I think that they forgot to assign a waiter to my table) they apologized profusely, my service was spectacular, and they now have a repeat customer. What matters most to me is not having had to wait to be served initially but how a restaurant handles something like that, and they handled it perfectly. read more

The Valentines Kaiseki was phenomenal, was able to try things I've been meaning to try like Foie Gras, Wagyu, King Crab and Uni! It was fairly pricey for a really long service so... not sure if I'll be coming back but the experience was worth the try! I didn't enjoy it as much as we were seated right beside where the servers pass regularly to go into the kitchen, the ambiance killed it for me as well as how long it took to get each course when others were getting it right away. Our bill came up to $420 minus tip. Imo, if I'm paying that much, the service and ambiance should be to the T. I appreciate those things in a restaurant almost as equally as the food. I've had better experiences in places that are 1/4th of the price. I'm sure we got unlucky with the seating and given its Valentines Day and all... which was a bummer for us. read more

Let's talk about food for a minute. Food is good, the dish is delicate and overall I like the taste Service is good. The waiter we had was not over the top. She was friendly but not rude. Whenever we asked for help though, she usually responded The ambiance is good. The environment is good, I feel like it's quiet overall. Not too noisy The only downside is the price. We spent a total of 290 after tax and tip. Though me and my father enjoyed ourselves, I don't know if I will be back as I'm a modest spender and eating at a restaurant like this doesn't fit my style That being said, it was a special occasion today so it was different.

I finally got the chance to try out this restaurant after passing by many times. It is located close to the Harbourfront area, with a nice patio in the summer. The environment is friendly and professional, with many booth seats and big windows. The staff is trained really well and are very knowledgeable about the food and its ingredients. Excellent service! Be sure to make a reservation, as it often gets busy. I highly recommend ordering the Miku Roll and any of their torched sushi. It tastes so fresh and melts in your mouth! The Green Tea opera matcha cake is also one of my favs. The portions are on the small side, but it's a premium place to splurge once in awhile! read more

We ordered miso soup and a Miku roll. For $40 this was not enough food for one person. BUT, this is one of the only restaurants in Toronto, who serves authentic salmon in their salmon rolls. You can notice how deep the colouring and how little fat the salmon has. This means that it's truly salmon and it's not from a fish farm. Salmon from the fish farm should actually be called steelhead trout since it has never been to an ocean. It is also infested with parasites and sea lice and if you read the packaging when it is harvested, you are never supposed to serve it as sushi, but always cook it. You can read all about the salmon industry and Alexandra Morton's excellent book. Just don't think you're eating anything healthy or environmentally sustainable when you're eating "salmon" from a salmon farm. Personally, I never want to support this practice, so I always look for wild, organic, etc and ask where if comes from. The roll was very nice with real crab not kani, and you could taste the quality, even though it left us wanting more! The miso soup was perfect with just the right amount of seaweed in it. Again, it was literally three big sips and it was done so perhaps they could fill the tiny paper container full. Regardless, this Japanese restaurant is offering true quality, which is very hard to find on Uber eats -- only Toné Sushi offers salmon of a similar quality, but it's not in all the rolls but offered in one item. We need to support restaurants like this who are doing the right thing. read more
