    Ambiance, food, service, everything was fantastic! It indeed is a high end restaurant but worth the hype! As a vegetarian I had plenty of options and was a great experience! I have added the photos of all the dishes I liked and would recommend! I got the mushroom rice and they prepped it right by the table so another great experience!

    Miru has a gorgeous view. It is located at the top of the The St. Regis Chicago, and the scenery alone makes it worth visiting. It is a great spot for tourists, especially if you are staying at the hotel. We walked in around 4pm on a Tuesday and had no wait at all. It was pretty empty at that time. The sunset views are stunning and it is such a beautiful place to take photos. That was definitely the highlight. As for the food, the sushi was just okay. The fish cuts were on the smaller side and the ingredients did not taste particularly high quality, so it felt a bit underwhelming. Service was fine. Nothing amazing, but not bad either. Overall, I would come back for the view and vibes, but not necessarily for the sushi itself.

    Golden Hour and Campari-San
    Cady D.

    Miru is located on the 11th floor inside of the St. Regis hotel in downtown Chicago. I went the Friday before Valentine's Day with my boyfriend to celebrate. We had reservations for 4:30pm, but they wanted to accommodate our request for a window seat so our table wouldn't be ready until 5pm, which was perfect. We each got a cocktail at the bar while we waited for our seat. We ordered the golden hour and the campari-san. The view is stunning and everything was so delicious. The dishes are small, so it's perfect for sharing a variety of different items. We ordered the edamame, broccolini, A5 wagyu nigiri, hamachi, chicken karaage, smoked pork belly skewer, wild mushroom sizzling rice, and duck yakisoba. The pork belly is so soft it literally melts in your mouth. I also loved the broccolini. For dessert, we got the black sesame mochi, and all the flavors and textures worked perfectly together. If you're looking for an elegant restaurant with beautiful views, friendly staff, and amazing modern Japanese food, I highly suggest Miru.

    Miso Black Cod
    Yining D.

    Came here for restaurant week with a group of friends. Parking through spothero is the way to go, but the lot is a little difficult to find. For the restaurant week menu, we got to make our own hand rolls which was probably my favorite part. The welcome sip was a nice fruity touch. The miso cod was a very small portion, not sure if the regular meal had a larger portion but the restaurant week portion was a small square. The steak was more filling and the dipping sauce went really well with the meat. The mushroom rice was a little watery and underwhelming for me. The yakisoba smelled really good but flavor wise was lacking. The dessert reminded me of a mango sticky rice, but rice pudding version. Food was decent but not super mind blowing. It was $60 for a 4 course meal which was a great deal, but not super filling. The atmosphere is really great for a fancy get together or date night. The St Regis is beautiful and the restaurant itself had lovely blueish green tiles. Bathrooms were clean and spacious.

    Sadly I'd have to give this restaurant a 3 stars for its pancake and view only. My friend was racing about this place so much I was very excited to try but it was quiet a disappointment. First, the rice on the maki is hard and not exactly sushi rice. The fish isn't fresh and I didn't taste any sweetness or fattyness from the chu toro. The crispy rice was tasty but nothing special. We loved the pancake with its fluffiness and delicious yuzu flavor topping. Service was professional but not the best. The only great thing about this is the location and view.

    Duck Yakisoba

    Another great experience at Miru. Great food a great drinks. I really loved the Jules Taylor Sauv Blanc they had and the service was great, especially for a larger group with a last minute reservation. The grilled avocado is still my favorite starter with a not too spicy chili soy sauce. The edamame is classic and salty and the shishito peppers, which I'm often not a fan of, were actually delicious. The spicy bluefin tuna crispy rice was pretty disappointing and the rice sort of got stuck in my teeth. I LOVED the smoked pork belly skewers - so soft and tender and flavorful. The duck yakisoba was really good too. The tako (octopus) skewers were fine. The chicken karaage was just slightly upscale chicken nuggets. Both Makis we got were SUPER tasty. The Miru Rainbow was an explosion of different tastes and the Triple Tuna was fatty and yummy. The Otoro nigiri was also really yummy, but very pricey. The chocolate silk tart was my favorite dessert - chocolate lat and creamy with just a little matcha flavor. I did like the Miru-ishi too but more for concept and texture than taste.

    The breakfast at Miru was amazing. We are staying at St.Regis and we just walked up to the restaurant. The view was amazing overlooking Chicago River and Lake Michigan. We ordered Coffee, classic Egg Benedict with mushrooms and no ham and Build your own omelette. All 3 things were amazing. Especially the omelette. Even egg Benedict was v good. It's just the server took forever to get the bill.

    3 of us back for a marvelous dinner with great views, beautiful decor, great service, and of course great food. The quality of the food is very noticeable. We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive!

    I recently visited Miru Chicago for breakfast, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, elegant, and welcoming. We were lucky to get a window seat, and the view of Lake Michigan made the whole experience even more special. Watching the morning light reflect on the water while enjoying breakfast was simply beautiful. For food, we ordered coffee, avocado toast, and a vegetable omelet, and everything tasted amazing. The coffee was fresh and smooth, perfect to start the day. The avocado toast was well-balanced, fresh, and full of flavor, while the vegetable omelet was cooked perfectly--soft, fluffy, and packed with fresh ingredients. The quality and presentation both amazing The staff was friendly, attentive, and polite, making us feel comfortable throughout our visit. Service was quick without feeling rushed, which made the breakfast even more enjoyable. Overall, Miru is a wonderful spot for a peaceful breakfast with great food, warm service, and stunning lake views. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago and looking for a relaxing start to their day.

    I'll be the first to admit I reserved a breakfast spot at this Japanese restaurant in the newish St. Regis Hotel primarily for the view. I was not a hotel guest, so I was also interested in seeing this newish hotel, under construction when I last visited Chicago, designed by renowned architect Jeanne Gang, who also designed the stunning Aqua building nearby. Miru is on the hotel's 11th floor. It's a large restaurant with an equally large terrace, where surely tables are in the most demand in good weather. The hotel's St. Regis Terrace is also on this level, also with killer river views. For breakfast, the menu is pretty much American, aside from a Tokyo Breakfast set. I ordered The American breakfast---eggs, a protein (I chose ham), hash browns and toast. It also came with a simple seemingly undressed salad. The breakfast was prepared well and nicely presented. There was only a single slice of toast. Had I known I would have ordered a bagel. The cold-pressed juice blend I ordered called Eternal Life was also very good. Service was decent, perhaps a bit scarce since there were very few guests at 7 am. Given that the St. Regis is a luxury brand, the meal also was not inexpensive. But they did allow me access not only to the Miru Terrace, but the St. Regis Terrace as well, and the views from both are stunning ( and pretty similar).

    Shrimp Tempura & Spicy Salmon
    Kenna G.

    Nice dinner at Miru. Gorgeous views of the city, beautiful ambiance. Avocado crispy rice: 2.5/5 (avocado tasted funny, kinda fake) Shrimp tempura: 4/5 Spicy salmon: 4/5 Sushi was good but nothing special. Duck Yakisoba on the other hand was incredible, 5/5. This is the only food dish I would come back for. Great service, waitress was kind, attentive, and provided recommendations.

    Hamachi & Lemon
    Sydney H.

    Miru was stunning. Everything about my experience here was beautiful. We tried a bunch of things but my absolute favorites were the salmon avocado roll and the tuna crispy rice. It was the most high quality, fresh tasting sushi ever & I could have eaten every roll they all sounded amazing. Other honorable mentions were the wild mushroom sizzling rice and and eggplant skewer. Loved both of these too! I didn't love the rock shrimp, I wish it was tossed and cooked a bit in the aioli instead of coming on the side. Overall I had the best experience here and cannot wait to go back to try the rest of their menu!

    My all time favorite sushi restaurant!!! I loved my server Sol (so knowledgeable and fun) and will be back just for her! The food here was incredible - the sushi was so fresh and the appetizers were all so unique in flavor. The drinks were delicious and complimentary to the food. If you take a step outside onto the balcony, the view of Chicago is amazing. Great place for a fancy date night or to go with friends. Make sure to get a reservation (they book up fast) and ask for Sol!

    Is the dessert menu available for breakfast?

    We went at 1130 and they brought it out to us so I would say yes

    First time having Ramen and we LOVED it…read more The seating is very unique and private. We will be eating there again.

    Came here as it was close to where I was staying downtown. I went on a Sunday and there were only 6…read morecustomers in the restaurant at 545pm. I was seated at a table and they brought out water right away. But that's where the service stopped. I was handed 3 menus... food, drinks, cocktail. It took forever to get one of the servers to come over and take my order. They were all huddled by the kitchen and hostess stand chatting with each other and on their cell phones. Finally one of them walked by my table and I had to get her attention and told her I would like to order. She brought out the iPad then looked around seeing if someone else should probably take the order. I felt I inconvenienced her. Got the tonkatsu shoyu ramen with black garlic and the takoyaki. Food came out fast. Takoyaki after the ramen but the takoyaki was delicious. Soft and creamy on the inside with the octopus was very tender. It was topped with plenty of katsuoboshi. Ramen was another story. Noodles had a really good chew as they advertised using sun noodle company. However the broth tasted very watered down and did not have the rich flavor and usually fat globules that make the soup. Cha siu was charred beautifully and portion size was good. Hopefully they can focus on the front of house service and the team can pay attention to customers. Maybe this is why there were only 6 customers at prime dinner time.

    Awesome food!!! Fancy Environment!!!! And Friendly Staff!!!!…read more Yay! Wonderful experience here, I was just visiting and after I finally found parking, I asked to be seated but did not have a reservation, the hostess said if I could be about an hour she could squeeze us in. So I was thankful for that, we were not looking to stay for a long time just wanted to try the place out. Once seated we were waited on and served fast. The food was mind blowing, we loved everything!!! My favorite was the duck appetizer puffs, wow they were good. Everything though was elevated and delicious. I'd come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for the wonderful experience to add to our trip to Chicago!

    Terrible. I am honestly not sure how people are recommending this place. I was excited to come here…read moreand had very high expectations, but unfortunately the food was extremely disappointing. Let's start from the beginning: the bone marrow. What on earth was going on? Why would you cover bone marrow with fig, bacon, and so much cilantro? Bone marrow is a delicate dish. You are supposed to taste the richness and subtle flavor of the marrow itself. The cilantro completely overpowered it, and the fig and bacon made it even worse. Chef, where did you train? This dish made no sense. Then came the agnolotti. I have no words. Just look at the photo: full of oil. I mean completely swimming in oil. Then the chitarra with seafood. Horrible. Spicy for no reason. Again, why are you trying to cover the ingredients instead of letting them speak for themselves? Also, the fish tasted frozen, not fresh. The pork belly, supposedly the signature dish, was another disappointment. Again, so much sauce that the actual flavor of the pork belly was completely lost. The staff were nice, the ambiance was okay, and the wine selection was good. But please, stop covering the taste of the food you cook. If you need to hide the ingredients under excessive sauce, spice, cilantro, oil, bacon, or sweetness, the only explanation is that the ingredients are not good enough on their own. I will not be coming back. Not even for free. Sorry. PS. Why so much bread on each dish? So much buttery horrible bread that you will trash, because it's impossible to eat all of it.

The decor in here was nice and the dessert and cocktail menus were SO CUTE! I tried the 10 Hour Tonkotsu ramen, the xoxo shrimp and pork dumplings, and the spicy kimchi. The kimchi and dumpling combination was to die for!!! It had the perfect balance of flavor and spice. The dumplings were so crispy and juicy, and the kimchi was packed with lots of flavor. 10000/10 The ramen on the other hand, was just okay in my opinion. I asked if they could make it a bit spicy and the waiter said that the only way to add spicy was to order the sesame chili. I ordered that and mixed it into my ramen but it was still missing something, not quite sure what. I'd rate the ramen a 8/10. Nothing crazy but not bad.
