    A really nice Japanese bistro with a great patio. Definitely recommend reservation since it can get super busy. The service is really attentive and nice. We ordered unagi fluffy omelette rare. The unagi is rare and the omlette is so soft and fluffy - it melts in your mouth. We ordered the scallop crab miso cream udon. This was so so hearty and creamy. Was definitely my favorite. We ordered rhe lychee lassi cocktail. This was okay. Was refreshing but a bit too sweet for my taste. Definitely was expecting more lassi.

    The food was so delicious I had to revisit again for another family member's birthday. The staff were kind enough to allow for birthday cakes to be brought in and even lit a sparkler to put on top. We ordered a variety of appies from the squid, udon, soup udon, yukhoe beef sushi, and a clay pot rice. Can't wait to go back

    Snow crab and mentaiko udon
    Tiff K.

    Their service is excellent - attentive, friendly, knowledgeable. Ambiance is lively and busy. Food is amazing!! Most of their cooked dishes are incredible. Their chirashi is not comparable to other sushi places around town but the rest of their cooked dishes are exceptional.

    Tuna Tataki
    Tony N.

    Tasty! This is one of the sister restaurants alongside Kingyo and Raisu, and it hits just as great! Everything was super fresh and the tuna tataki was pretty unforgettable. The vibes are immaculate and they've really gone out of their way to decorate this place. It's a great date spot and I would recommend this to anyone looking for great Japanese food!

    I tried the lunch gozen sets and they were so good! Each set comes with a mini udon, 6 pcs of battera sushi, sashimi salad and 2 kinds of kaarage.  AO Set - snow crab and mentaiko miso cream udon, aburi salmon battera, sashimi salad, two kinds of kaarage ($35) Fuji Set - truffle and wagyu cream udon, bluefin negitoro battera, sashimi salad, two kinds of kaarage ($40) The snow crab and mentaiko miso cream udon was so rich and flavourful and I loved how creamy it was. The aburi salmon battera was delicious, the sashimi salad had a nice soy dressing, the chicken kaarage was very juicy and the corn was buttery. The truffle and wagyu cream udon was also creamy and delicious with tender bits of beef.

    Fuji Gozen Set

    I had the Fuji Gozen shared between three of my friends and I, and since we weren't super hungry, it ended up being the perfect amount of food thanks to our servers recommendation. Overall, everything was well-executed and enjoyable, with a nice variety across the set. The only thing that didn't quite work for us was the arugula in the truffle wagyu udon, it felt a little out of place. I usually enjoy arugula, but the bitterness didn't quite pair well with the creamy udon base, so that combination came off a bit off-putting. Aside from that one element, everything else in the meal was really solid and thoughtfully prepared.

    My friend took me to her favourite spot for lunch - New Fuji. I had never been before but I think it's my new fav spot now! Their space is pretty big, you can easily get a large group of people here. They also have a patio that was closed when we went but they open it up during the summer which I would 100% come back for! Our server was SOOO sweet and everyone there was very warm. They also had coat check when you come in which was amazing because it was a very rainy day in Vancouver. We both got their set lunch menu - the set menu came with a medium sized udon, sushi, salad, chicken karage, and corn karage. I got their - Aka set lunch menu which had - wagyu sukiyaki udon (it was refreshing and comforting at the same time!), wagyu yukhoe battera (pressed sushi with wagyu tartar), wagyu roast beef salad (very fresh). Everything was so good! It was $35 for the set menu which I think was the perfect amount for the amount of food. They also have so many vegetarian options, I can't wait to go back here!

    Went back for round two and the food was so good. Much better than I remember from the first trip. The fluffy omelette is so light and flavourful, I would go back just for that. The corn karaage were seasoned to perfection. Great service, and the retro interior has a lot going for it.

    muscat grape and pistachio fruit tart
    Isabel C.

    Came back to New Fuji last Thursday with a girlfriend and by chance, stumbled upon their fruit tart festival. We were so excited to try one of the delicious and pretty looking fruit tarts. We both chose the muscat and pistachio fruit tart. The tart has a delicious creamy filling and some crunchy bits on top (might be kataifi - like the viral Dubai chocolate kind haha). The Muscat grapes had a subtle sweetness with perfect jelly-like texture. Sadly, it was the second last day for the festival so I'm not sure when I will have the opportunity for another taste of these delicious desserts. We also ordered a couple of menu items for dinner. The charred caesar was interesting and had a smoky flavour profile, but was small in portion size. Salmon battera was a classic, but we both agreed the wagyu one was much better. The spicy miso egg udon was really tasty, but the saucy soup was quite salty and we wished there was a bit more udon. Nonetheless, I was scarfing down the soup by itself as it was so delicious. As always, service was seamless and wonderful. New Fuji...always a good time!

    Truffle Corn Karaage (9$)
    Ania D.

    I would like to preface this by saying that Suika was one of my favourite restaurants of all time, and I found it to be the most affordable of the Kingyo group. New Fuji is quite good, but it is expensive. The vibes were great, the servers kind, but I left dinner peckish still. We had: -Truffle Corn Karaage (9$): Very tasty, but not quite as tasty as it was at Suika. The Suika Corn Fritters were so tasty, fried, and didn't have the corn cob (all kernels), whereas this does not have batter/crunch, but the seasoning is tasty. -Snow Crab And Mentaiko Peperoncino Yakiudon (24$): delicious but I found the portion small (esp of the crab). Usually I am not an Udon girl, but the slight spice cut through the cream. Umami, salty, creamy, delicious. -Shellfish Bara Chirashi (28$): Seafood tasted fresh, rice perfectly seasoned. However, still found it to be missing a bit of flavour. -Wagyu Sirloin Heart (21$): was the only disappointing thing. Found it to be slightly overcooked, a tiny portion, and the meat was sinewy. Overall, flavours and quality of most things were excellent, but found the portion sizes and prices to be disappointing. I understand that rent must be expensive, but alas this spot has not replaced the hole that Suika left in my heart

    This place was so effing we good we ended up ordering more to try more dishes on their menu. You definitely need to try their sushi rolls. I was so impressed with this place.

    Sharlena T.

    4.5/5- Definitely recommend coming here Prob one of the best meals i had on my vancouver trip. And i went to fat mao/ mackenzie room, other touristy places etc Their ao set menu was the best the salmon sushi is the main highlight and id recommend getting that. The udon with the set is very milky and good but I'd recommend the chilli rose carbonara yakiudon instead. Its not very spicy more creamy The salad tasted a bit too fishy for our liking and the corn karaage was so flavorful and good. Id say the corn karaage and salmon sushi were the standouts and ones id get individually. The rest were ok and id be interested in trying the other udons as well

    Bea F.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance. The restaurant atmosphere is fun, with a retro-theming and open bbq that you can watch. It gets a bit smokey however, so if that bothers you, a heads up. Between 2 ppl we shared 4 dishes. The beef wrapped green onions, the negitoro pressed roll, the rośe carbonara, and strawberry daifuku for dessert. I'd say my least favorite item was the beef wrapped green onion. While the taste was good, the green onions were raw in the middle and hard to chew through. The carbonara was tasty but was a bit bland. The negitoro was good and generous portion, but once again didn't blow my mind. If anything, the dessert might've been my favorite item, as it's hard to find daifuku in Vancouver. Overall, I did find the restaurant cool and their food isn't "bad". But I was a bit let down by the lack of depth in flavor considering the price of the meal. I'd maybe come back to try their lunch sets, as they seem like a better deal.

Every time I come, I can feel the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff. From seating to ordering, and then to the care during the meal, everything is done with great finesse, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique politeness and meticulousness of Japanese service are naturally reflected here. The food is also a reason I want to come back. Whether it's the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation, or the taste, you can feel the attention to detail. Japanese cuisine emphasizes the quality of the ingredients themselves, and Miku presents this refinement beautifully. Every dish is pleasing to the eye and has a layered flavor. I also love the ambiance. The overall design is simple, elegant, and has a very comfortable Japanese aesthetic. The lighting, seating, and spatial layout all create a relaxing atmosphere without feeling overly decorated; instead, they have a high-quality feel. As for the atmosphere, I think it's what makes this place so special. Elegant and quiet, yet not too formal, it's suitable for dates or enjoying a good meal with friends. Sitting there slowly eating and chatting makes the whole dining experience particularly comfortable. After several visits, I still feel that Miku is a restaurant worth returning to again and again. It's not just because of any one dish, but because the service, cuisine, environment, and atmosphere combine to create a very pleasant experience every time I come.

One of the best parts is the ever-changing menu of daily specials alongside the regular menu, so there's always something new to try while still coming back to your favorites. This visit we ordered the shrimp garlic fried rice, Agedashi Nasu, Grilled Squid with Garlic Mayo, and an assortment of sashimi. The shrimp garlic fried rice is an absolute must every time. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and somehow manages to be comforting without feeling too heavy. It is a large dish and can easily be shared by 3-4, depending on what else you order. We also love the Agedashi Nasu here with melt-in-your-mouth eggplant wrapped in a light, delicate coating that soaks up the savory broth. Service is always quick and organized, even when the restaurant is busy. Dishes arrive as they're ready, making it easy to share everything around the table, which is exactly how an izakaya experience should feel. If it's your first visit, don't skip the shrimp garlic fried rice, and make sure to check out the daily specials before ordering. They often feature seasonal dishes that aren't available on the regular menu and are well worth trying.

I thought it was a nice change of scenery to be honest also I did miss some items I originally wanted and planned to try. There were some of the main dishes, like the bowls, and also mainly udon. The chicken karaage was extremely tender and fresh, you could tell because it was hot which was nice! The udon in both the curry and rose cream udon was very soft and tender as well, tender than what I usually have for udon. If you like your noodles al dante I don't think it'll quite fit your taste but I personally really enjoyed it! As for the taste the spicy rose cream udon tasted exactly like Buldak Ramen's Carbonara flavor, and everyone at my table agreed. The garlic bread was nice tho. To be completely honest staff and workers aren't very attentive, the restaurant wasn't full and I could see the workers standing around. Our table had to ask for water multiple times.

I made reservations about 4 months in advance. Upon arrival, one of the hostesses opened the door for us, and asked us to wait in a very ornate waiting area. We only waited a couple of minutes before another hostess seated us at the main seating area. The space is very dark, and only lit with candles while the rest of the diners trickled in. During that time they take drink orders, which is limited to sake, wine, beer and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Of note, they don't provide a drink menu, so we were a little surprised by the cost - the yuzu sake and the plum wine were $30 each. My non-alcoholic drink was $12, but a fair size. The theatrical portion started a few minutes later than the official start time - closer to 6pm. The shades lifted, the lights turned on, and the chefs introduced themselves. And from that moment on, they immediately went to work preparing our meal. They operate like clockwork to show the ingredients whole to the diners, and then preparing them, and serving them. Soon as the one dish was completed by all the diners, the next round came shortly after. Over 20+ dishes, there was very little wait time in between each. Each time a dish was served, a hostess was there to describe the dish and provided tips on how best to eat it. The food was overall was very good. I thought a few items were very average, most of them were very good, and a select few were truly outstanding. Most of the ingredients are imported from Japan, so I would imagine that it's part of the reason it's so expensive. This is definitely a splurge meal. I think half the diners at our sitting was celebrating a birthday. On the most part, the food is very good, watching the chefs at work is part of the entertainment, and the service is excellent.

People who haven't been to an izakaya may think it's loud and noisy, but the point of izakayas is they're supposed to be vibrant, high energy, and filled with cheerful chatter. Think of a tapas-style pub/bar for people to unwind and gather to chat after a long day at work. I loved the atmosphere, as it's casual, entertaining, and lively. The food was great and I couldn't think of a dish I didn't like. The sashimi were so fresh and high quality. Of course they use freshly grated wasabi too.
