- Lluv4lancasterfoodsceneNew York / Tri-State Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIf you like world class service, fabulous food, and a spectacular dining experience then you need to book your table at Miku! We went there for sushi, and we found so much more! Our starters were grilled lamb chops (great sauce), calamari (great sauce), and seared scallops (great sauce)! Then we each had one of their "food flights", available in a 6-Courses (items selected by the chef from the menu) and then in 7-Courses (items special from the chef that are not on the menu) and we were thrilled from beginning to end of the creativity, flavor, sauces, and the variety from Wagyu Beef, amazing fresh fish and sushi, to seared fish, and more! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for so many things, and very noteworthy was the superb service that we enjoyed throughout our entire dining experience! Thanks!More infoMiku Restaurant - VancouverPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Coal Harbour•4.7
- VVictorvipVancouver / British Columbia •7 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoThe food is very good. However we were waiting for 1 hour to get our food. Don’t know if it’s because they change the owner or what. If you aren’t in rush. Definitely go try it. If you’re not very patient like me. Do not recommended.More infoCafe CarthagePrice: Expensive• French• Commercial Drive•3.7
- SShastineSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on 4 Jun 2023The food was excellent, complex flavors, fresh ingredients, spice-level was as requested. The restaurant was in a fairly nondescript building and the decor was humble so we were expecting to have a perfectly acceptable but not exciting meal, we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a great meal! I won't say "for the price" because that implies it was not as good as food we might have paid much more for. The truth is it was as good or better as many high-end, high price Indian restaurants I have been to over the years.More infoHariyali Express Indian Cuisine & BarPrice: Moderate• Indian• North Vancouver•4.2
