    Just visited again since their renovation. Still amazing service, atmosphere and food.

    Food and service was top notch! The vibe is a notch below fine dining - casual bougie? I came here to celebrate my birthday. There was a set menu and I chose the wine pairings. There is also a cocktail pairing option. The food itself was delicious but tasted so different with the right wine pairing. My fave dish was the kingfish paired with the sauv b. The menu changes every month I believe so I would love to come back and try something new.

    All courses were exceptional, loved my meal here. Everything was thoughtfully done and the flavors were great. I especially liked the salmon course this month. It had a bit of crunch and tang. I am also still thinking about the dessert we had, so delicious fruity and creamy. The fish was cooked extremely well with the outside crisp and inside tender. Loved the steak as well with the Parmesan sauce. This is a great place to celebrate your special occasion. I felt very taken care of and love how they give you complimentary bubbles and macarons for your special moment. I was quite satisfied with my meal and thought it was an ample amount to be full. Service was amazing and helpful. They made sure we were okay with everything and made us feel very welcome. Ambience was modern, dark, and intimate. Nothing but good things about this place. Would highly recommend Miro Kaimuki!

    Such a cozy night with good vibes. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The food leans toward Asian fusion with more of a fine dining twist. Really fun and creative dishes. What brought me in was the brioche toast with uni--it totally lived up to the hype. Honestly, the photo doesn't do it justice; it tastes even better than it looks. The drinks? Next level. If you're feeling a little bougie and just want to have a good time, this is the spot. The atmosphere was super chill--we had our own little corner, which made it feel even more intimate. Our server (who was also our bartender) was amazing. She gave us great food recs and actually took the time to chat a bit, which made the experience feel personal without being too much. I really love the vibe here. No one's judging, and the dress code is super casual--it's not that serious. Just show up, enjoy, and have a great time.

    The food is really good! Each course was very delicate and well made. Came here 30 mins early but still managed to get seated right away. Ahi brioche is one of our favorites The service however could be slightly better.

    TL;DR Fantastic through and through. Well deserving of the hype. ----- My wife and I were finally able to dine at Miro for a Friday date night for their March 2025 prix fixe menu. Please note there is a parking lot behind the building that is available for customers to use. If there are no stalls available, there should be street parking in the neighborhood. In addition to the prix fixe menu, we ordered the cocktail pairing, the ahi and uni brioche add-ons, and the sourdough bread special. While I'm glad we tried the cocktail pairing, I probably wouldn't order it again. Of the five cocktails, my wife and I only really loved a couple of them. I'm not particularly snobby about pairing food and drinks, so next time I will just order directly from the cocktail menu or perhaps try the wine pairing. The food, on the other hand, was spectacular. I was impressed with each dish, and I was particularly blown away by the brussels sprouts and the dessert. The brioche add-ons, which are the only regular offerings, are an absolute must-order. We didn't order the caviar one, but if I had to choose only one, I would recommend the uni brioche. The uni's texture and flavor perfectly compliment the brioche. The brioche itself is mind-blowing. Seriously one of the very best bread dishes I've ever had. I would order a side of just the brioche if I could. The menu changes monthly, so there's no point in making recommendations or identifying specific dishes. However, based on this particular menu, I have no problem highly recommending Miro. My wife and I will definitely be back to try another monthly menu.

    I dined on the final evening of their November 2024 menu, which featured a newly expanded seven-course format. Standout dishes included a delicate scallop paired with butternut squash, tender pork belly crowned with ultra-crispy skin, and zabuton steak served with sunchoke three-ways. One must-try item, their beloved brioche toasts, was available à la carte. As a first-timer, I couldn't pass up the trio with ahi tuna, Hokkaido uni, and decadent caviar. The buttery brioche brought to mind the DIY uni brioche dish served at partner chef Mourad's recently closed namesake restaurant in San Francisco. In addition to the dishes, I very much enjoyed the balanced craft cocktails. I was tempted by their cocktail pairing option, and saw that they also offer zero proof cocktails. We enjoyed the full dinner menu at the bar, and the service was excellent--warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. The combination of hospitality, atmosphere, and cuisine made Miro Kaimuki one of my favorite dining experiences of 2024!

    UPDATE: Honestly I'm a little sadden. I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend and this is my favorite place to come to. We've been going to Miro for awhile. So recently for the month of November they added another course to the prix fixe. Which is a tiny 3 dish finger food snack to munch on. However, they cranked the price up to $130 per person just for this extra course that's not optional (like you have to get it). While everything tasted amazing and was super good. I don't think it's worth coming here anymore. I think adding a snack course to an already good menu is a little silly and then cranking the price higher is a bit much. Honestly, staff here is great and the food is amazing. But after that big price change and with an additional random snack course is a little baffling to say the most. I wish they had it like how they did it before.

    Miro, in the Kaimuki 'hood, is a French-inspired local restaurant by Chef Chris Kajioka. Their menu changes every month, using seasonal ingredients. Our menu included: +Hirame.Amazake.Hazelnut +Parsnip.Curry.Pomegranate - served with MIRO sourdough bread +Cod.Cauliflower.Olive +Duck.Kabocha.Cabbage +Smoked Chocolate.ThaiTea.Rum We also ordered their special starters, such as the raw oysters and the brioche trio (uni, toro, and caviar) - the oysters were brine-y, and the brioche was so buttery; its toppings were generous and delicious. Overall, the courses were tasty and wonderfully presented - I really did like the MIRO sourdough bread, as the butter that complemented it contained rosemary, but wasn't too overpowering. The cod, while smelling slightly fishy, was delicate. The duck, which most restaurants do not know how to prepare correctly, was delicious - perfectly rendered, juicy, and flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself is casual, laid-back, and comfortable. There was a slight sewage-like odor coming from either the seats or the rear part of the restaurant, so, hopefully this can be fixed soon. Reservations are highly recommended. Street parking can be found in the area. +monthly seasonal menu +friendly service +street parking in the area

    Miro Kaimuki fulfills Chef Chris Kajioka's wish to open a place in the town he grew up in. In partnership with Chef Mourad Lahlou the two of them took over Cafe Miro. They retained the Japanese influenced French cuisine but introduced Chef Kajioka's preferences for styling and flavor. Each course's portion size is modest, with enough there to let you dabble at the edges, then fully taste what Chef Kajioka wants you to experience. The Japanese influence is clear - you get umami flavors when you combine the protein with what accompanies it. There is not a lot of fat and very little butter. Olive oil, citrus, and vinegar bring together the high impact flavors. One place you will find butter, and you should not miss out on it, is their mid-course bread service. It is a nice little round sourdough boule in a dish with a thin light crust and a pillowy fine crumb. If it looks familiar it may be because you've previously dined at Commis and recognize the style of service and taste. But it is the salted compound butter that you need to try. It changes but it always something you'll want to take home. The menu description is intentionally vague. Three words. That means throughout the course of a month's prix fixe Chef Kajioka is not locked into presenting every dish in the same way all the time. There will be subtle additions or subtractions depending on what is at peak availability. The interior is a modest shade of blue that ties into Chef Lahlou's San Francisco restaurants. The decor is not meant to distract you from what is plated in front of you. You will have a primary server but the front of the house works as a team to ensure consistent service. When Chef Kajioka is in the kitchen you will see him peering into the dining room to get a feel for the pace and the reception of his food. The regular menu is one of the best 5 course prix fixe in town. For a short while they did a Monday only 3 course prix fixe that was entirely different from the 5 course one, but that has ended. In the future, expect to see a 7 course prix fixe rolled out.

    The website says the restaurant is closed for renovations, but happily it's open! Had an excellent meal last night everything was so delicious and incredible presentation! Ordered off the ala carte menu - will need to try the prix fixe menu next time! I saw a previous review about service not being the best, but that wasn't our experience. Everyone, the host, server and wait staff were all so attentive and gracious. Will certainly be back!

    I came here for dinner with family on a weekday night w a reservation. The wait staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The pre-fix menu was extensive with add ons (bread, for example) and caviar as a part of the starters. I got their signature cocktail which was so sweet, and delicious (you can't even taste the rum, which is what I prefer!). My family got the premium wine tasting as well, and they said that each dish paired so well. My favorite dish was the risotto, as it had an interesting curry kick to it. The asparagus ice cream on top of the salad was super innovative and fresh too. Overall, would recommend -- but a word of caution as you may walk away feeling satisfied but not extremely full given the portions are small. They do course it well, and the vibes are great, so overall a fantastic experience.

    Ask the Community - Miro Kaimuki

    Is it possible to add some brioche to the brunch menu?

    Haven't been there for brunch but we've always added their signature bread to our prix fixe dinners

    How long do you think a typical dinner lasts at Miro? Trying to plan our evening in town and want to know how much time to set aside. Thank you!

    Budget 2.5 hours

    Is it kid friendly?

    It's not for children. It is a calm restaurant for adults.

    What's the service charge when I book online? 20% of the total. Is this automatic gratuity?

    No. You pay what you want.

    What gluten/dairy free options do you have?

    Can I eat at Bar? If I can take a food, Is this a a la carte?

    Yes the bar is a great place to eat. The bartender and service help are amazing. You can ala carte your food if you prefer but the pre fix menu is the perfect meal in addition to the yummy and delicious brioche. It's a must!

    How much is the add on for the caviar and ahi brioche?

    They don't talk about price for the add ons, which is a bummer. Last time we checked is $14 for ahi brioche, and $58 for caviar brioche.

    Do they take walk ins?

    You can call ahead and see if anyones cancelled their reservations, that would be the only way

    Do they no longer have the brunch menu?

    correct. they discontinued brunch, but may bring it back next year

    This casual dress OK?Like shorts shirt

    Smart Casual.

    Can they accommodate gluten free?

    Yes.

    Do they have vegetarian option?

    Yes.

    Are they open? I tried to call and left voice messages with the phone number and I also emailed them but no one has been responded.

    Yes still open. You could use a booking app to make reservations, or go to miro's website and you can reserve your table.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between sophisticated and welcoming. Dim lighting, intimate tables, and quiet elegance make you feel like you've stepped into a hidden gem in the middle of Kaimuki. Honestly, I felt like a celebrity dining here. Service was polished but never pretentious--our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the courses, and kept the pacing of the meal just right. For the level of creativity and execution, Carte Blanche feels like an affordable luxury in Honolulu's dining scene. Perfect for anniversaries, date nights, or anytime you want an elevated experience without flying to the mainland. Highly recommend booking a reservation--you'll want to savor every moment here.
