Had NO idea what to expect. Was invited as someone's guest. Food was incredible. I can't really tell you all that we ate. There were four of us and we got the chef omakase. Lots of sushi, a delicious Seabass, a steak course maybe 11 courses in all. Cocktails ahead of dinner. Wine with dinner. Our server was knowledgeable and very pleasant. It would've been rude to take photos of the food. All I can say is the ambience is lovely. I would love to go back in the summer and sit out on their patio. read more

Beautiful restaurant. Upon arrival they were lovely. We were there celebrating anniversary. They noted that with a card and congratulations. Our service was amazing. Food was very good. My only complaint was I felt everything was so salty. They make their own soy sauce. Just way too salty. Upon finishing the meal once again notes our anniversary with complimentary glasses of champagne and a lemon mousse. I'm sure it is amazing to sit outside in the summer. read more

Had some of the best cocktails at the bar here one day celebrating an anniversary. The smoky Bloody Mary (uses whiskey) was absolutely delicious. The Miru Old Fashioned is probably the best old fashioned I've ever had--it's smooth, slightly sweet, and has a unique and silky mouthfeel. They use Nikka Coffey Grain whisky which I was introduced to through this drink and it really works, along with the black Okinawan sugar and what I'm gonna go out on a limb and say what might be a rice wash going on for that silkier mouthfeel. We also got some of the fried tuna rice which were a great combination of crunchy and chewy. Looking forward to going back and trying some more food. The ambiance is very lovely and elevated, with large windows looking out at downtown. Service was great, our bartender was helpful and the front of house friendly. It's pricey, as you might expect from a higher end bar in a hotel in downtown Chicago. read more

See all

it is a weird place to go for a business dinner. The waiter suggested that we share a bunch of dishes, but that was difficult with a range of dietary preferences and lack of intimacy with fellow diners. The food was delicious, but the sharing mode isn't necessarily for everyone. read more

Really really good ;) nice spot overlooking the river and top notch everything! I will go back.

The food was superb! The fish was fresh with wonderful texture and flavors. The uni was perhaps some of the best I have had. If you like sake, they have a terrific sake menu to pair with your sashimi and negeri. As for the service, it was spot on - everyone was wonderful and engaging. read more

Miru is my go-to spot for fresh sushi and unique cocktails! The sushi is always top-notch, beautifully crafted, and delicious, while the creative cocktails perfectly complement the meal. read more

Went here for dinner and it was pretty good. Our server, Mari, was great and thoroughly explained the menu. We had the tempura rock shrimp, good but not great and not worth the price. The broccolini was amazing, the sesame works great with it. I didn't try the chicken kaarage (don't like dark meat), but our party liked it. We had the mushroom and shrimp fried rices, they are finished table side. Everyone else's food was piping hot, but mine was not. The shrimp fried rice was mushy and because the bowl wasn't hot, it didn't get the "fry". The flavor was good, but not outstanding. The drinks were pretty good too. I enjoyed my dessert, strawberry sponge cake and the presentation was great. The best part of this place in my opinion is the view on the terrace. Overall, this is not a must try restaurant. The miso cod was extremely tender, but the flavor fell flat to me. The shrimp tempura roll was bland and nothing to write home about. Most of the dishes were just okay, some were bland, and for the price point, I wanted a lot better. I would return for maybe drinks and small bites because of the view, but there are better places in the city to enjoy. read more

Had a lovely experience for my birthday! The restaurant week menu was great! I love the DIY sushi roll course. Such a cute and creative idea! The cod was excellent!! And the rice paired well. And thank you for the dairy-free menu and sorbet option! Service was amazing. My server was so sweet and took care of me well. I will be back!!! read more

The food here was excellent. One of the best steaks I have had and the Ankake Yakisoba Egg noodles were spectacular. Our sever Madie was amazing! She made great recommendations and super service by the whole staff. I highly recommend this restaurant and if you can get Madie as a server even better. read more

This was one of the best restaurants I have been to in a very long time. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we ate was perfect! The views and ambiance were great. I have to say the best part of our experience was our server Lee. He was absolutely fantastic. We came to celebrate my best friend's birthday and he made the night so special for us. The nicest person, thank you for the amazing service and hospitality, Lee! We will most definitely be coming back. read more

Racism, and segregation are the three words that this restaurant has built on concerning its services. As a Hispanic American who was on a trip to Chicago, I was intrigued by this restaurant, but my interest soon waned due to its lack of equality. Upon entering the restaurant, I did not observe the host greet anyone with a smile. Once seated, I noticed that there were clearly two unoccupied tables near a window that viewed the city. Despite this, the host seated me near the bar. As I observed my surroundings, I observed a clearly segregated section where people of color were seated away from white people. Furthermore, the two unoccupied tables near the window of the night skies of Chicago were now occupied by two white couples. This is a deeply embarrassing and heartbreaking situation that continues to be prevalent in our society. I as a proud Mexican American business owner who worked hard in this already difficult time, I am deeply disappointed and unsatisfied. read more

Very good food. They plate at their timing and order. And I had to request that what I wanted as an app came out first. Heaviest food was last- when I was full. read more

Service was poor and food is overpriced. Waitress made multiple backhanded comments underneath her breath and how we inconvenienced her.

Drinks at the bar on a Saturday afternoon. We watched the cocktails being made as we sipped champagne. Pleasant staff. Nice views. An outdoor terrace. I will be back :) read more

Beautiful view with amazing food. Service was extremely attentive. the menu items were quite tasty and inventive. Looking forward to returning. read more

beautiful rooftop view, food is decent. good customer service, but sorta waited a while for the food

Wonderful all around, atmosphere, menu, servers and view. There is something for everyone, from sushi to prime cuts of steak. They have very different and creative dishes and it is located in the beautiful new St Regis hotel in Lakeshore East. read more

Miru is a hidden gem and all of their offers are phenomenal. I really love this place. Their cucumber salad was so fresh and flavorful. Everything on the menu really looks delicious and all of them has reasonable prices. Their place is big, they even have parking lot, and their seating was plenty. The only problem for me was their comfort room, it is small and you have to fall in line. But still, the place was amazing. I will be back again and recommend their place. read more

Big fans of Lettice Entertainment You restaurants. Were looking forward to try Miru. The ambiance and views are unique and beautiful and are worth going for that alone. Food was very average and over priced. Many other better sushi places in Chicago. Service was just ok. I called ahead to see if they accept Lettuce Entertainment star redemptions and was told yes. But was told at checkout that they only allow it before 3pm. Not cool. Glad we went once but won't be back. read more

I went to Miru for a friend's birthday and it was a great experience! They gave my friend a cute happy birthday card and some cake. The location was stunning and the staff were really sweet. I the Negi Hamachi Hosomaki and Spicy Salmon Signature Maki. Both were great but it is definitely on the more expensive side and I have honestly had better sushi. I would easily come back again for a special occasion, it has a really good vibe, the ambiance was great! read more

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. Great food - the traditional Japanese breakfast was awesome. The view and the service is fantastic. The smoked Bloody Mary is really unique and one of the best we ever had. Can't wait to go back. read more

The ambiance. The service. The food. The drinks. Everything is simply stunning and deliciously impeccable!!!

We went during restaurant week so the menu was set but it was very good. Service is excellent and the vibes are classy. food is very standard japanese food, nothing really stood out. The dessert was really good though, that was the standout read more

Superb variety of sushi and unmatched views of the Chicago River, lake and skyline. Great terrace dining option!

the Chicago tribune's review of this place is overly generous. if you like way overpriced food in a pretentious environment, with mediocre & variable service(we've been here twice, unfortunately), this is the place for you. they ride too much on their lettuce entertain you coat-tails. take your money elsewhere & skip the attitude of this place. read more

I visited Miru with three friends. I knew it would be expensive and was it ever! I ordered Hot Saki, they had one choice, it was fine but not hot. I did send it back twice and it was lukewarm, but why call it Hot Saki if it was not hot. It is my preference so that is what I ordered. I ordered two Sushi Rolls, they were good. For an Entrée I had the Crispy Fish and that was tasty, but the Crispy Rice, there was not a bit of crisp. Everything was Ala Carte, I felt the rice should have come with the fish. The problem was the Crème Brulé, it had lots of Lemon Curd in the middle and was not a good choice of flavor with the Vanilla. The Menu did mention citrus but not most of the desert. I've had Crème Brulé many times and thought it would have berries on top which is why I did not ask the waitress. There was no adjustment, I thought that odd. This Restaurant is very loud and busy, lots of traffic with the waitstaff, strange because everyone was waiting for service. The service was OK, waitress was good the food and drinks took a really long time to appear. We did have window seating and the view was nice. The meal was not commensurate to the price. read more

It was honestly underwhelming for a premium price point, for being a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, and for being affiliated with a St Regis. We went over Father's Day lunch and had a seat at the outdoor patio. Interestingly, the restaurant wasn't all that crowded. Decor and views were incredible but service level seems like it's still being worked out with just a little too long between drinks to order, checking in on drink refills, getting a check and getting our CC back. The table linens shed all over a black dress, our iced tea was served in a chipped glass, the sushi was served in plastic-like decorative bowl. Wouldn't be an issue except it's being billed as a high end restaurant. The sashimi was fresh, rolls were flavorful but the hot dishes were either bland (the pork rice hot pot so we asked for more soy sauce) and too saucy/oily (duck yakisoba). Hope that the restaurant can sort out these kinks/menu items because i feel like the location and ambiance has lots of potential! read more

Wowowow! First time at Miru and were blown away. Freshest fish in the city bar none. Incredible service (shout out to Jon for making our visit extra special!). We live nearby and will be back again and again. The sizzling rice is a must ;) read more

Great food. Each item ordered was delicious especially the broccolini , fried rice, the cod and the crispy tuna roll. The drinks were a little watery. The service was wonderful. They were very prompt and helpful. The views are wonderful and the atmosphere is lively. The only negative are the hostesses they seem to feel put upon. We were going to be a little late so we called and were told they have a 15 minute time limit and were very rude. We got there and then were told to wait. It seems if we were late it wouldn't be okay but if they weren't ready that is fine. I will say the hostess who did take us to our table was pleasant. Also there were many tables open! read more

Service, food, vibe, energy, decor, THE PLACE HAS IT ALLLLLL!!! I'm hooked, and will always be back!

What a delightful evening we had at Miru, from the innovative cocktails to the setting (we stayed inside), the attentive service and the unexpectedly light and flavourful dessert. A treat from start to finish read more

We ate on the balcony and had a beautiful view of the city and harbor. The wild rice bowl was fantastic! The edamame was charred and so flavorful. The grilled avocado was served with a super tasty sauce and crunchy sesame seeds- so good! Should have been served with some lavash crackers or something I think. Our waiter was super attentive and offered some excellent suggestions. Make sure that you tell the waiter if you are a vegetarian- we didn't expect fish roe with the eggplant plate. Maybe it was written as a Japanese word we were unfamiliar with. Also, I had a spirit free peach drink that was more creative than the usual overly sweet mocktails I've had at other places. read more

5 stars on service. 3 stars on food and drink price. Wagyu Tatare was okay. Maybe a couple tweeks. Milk bread adds nothing to the dish. If it's there for texture then they need to toast the bread more and cut in thinner. Otoro and Uni tartare had an aftertaste and was flat. Tartare's were 2 of the most expensive appetizers so I expect it to be great. Hopefully they work on those. Pork belly robata skewers I'll go back for. Ordered a glass of sparkling rose. Got the bill and it was $32 a glass. They definitely need a more affordable option being they have such a BEAUTIFUL Terrace. Views and ambiance is great!! We dined at 10:30 on a Saturday and was still pretty busy vibe. Service is as great all around. Too calling and making the reso, service team, and even the management said hello. I'm confident the food will get better and we'll be back again. read more

Miru - Japanese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

the greetings at the entrance was okay and greeted me a happy birthday. but the service??? its sucks. the waiter girl is so rude especially when my mom was still eating dessert and the waiter grab the plates already!! and ofcourse the overpriced meals that its so small that we barely eat. read more

I came here for lunch on the 4th of July weekend with family and friends. The environment overall was amazing and I really like that it has outdoor seating for guests to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Sadly, it was not open when we came in since it was raining outside. The food I ordered was shrimp fried rice. The lady who brought me the fried rice also brought me the gochujang sauce. I first asked her if it was spicy or not. Then she said that it is spicy and proceeded to pour it in without checking with me first, which wasn't a good move some guests (including myself) don't like eating anything spicy. Other than that, the service was pretty good but could be improved, especially for a fine-dining restaurant like this, and all the other food we ordered was delicious. Overall, my experience here was very good and I will look forward to dining with Miru again. read more

Enjoyed a fantastic dinner at this masterpiece. Service was perfect and food outstanding. This is a well-heeled and good looking crowd.

What else do you expect from a lettuce restaurant? The service is exceptional, the food amazing, with one of the best views in the city. It's a slam dunk. The portions are of course very small for what you are paying, but I would still give it a 10/10. Try a little bit of everything and don't skip the cocktails! read more

Manager kindly rectified the problem related to the miscommunication btn the restaurant and the third party reservation system. So I added back stars to this reviews. read more
