The act of applying fire directly and lightly searing the seafood on top of the shari (sushi rice) enhances its natural flavours while creating new textures, resulting in a new and exciting culinary experience. We have taken Aburi to the... more

For a city that prides itself on sushi, finding a downtown spot that doesn't serve it's wares in a styrofoam box can be a bit of a trick. Miku makes it bones with aburi sushi, where the seafood is lightly seared with a blowtorch. The traditional sushi offerings use the same top-quality fish and are excellent. It's not inexpensive, for food or drinks, but they have both Sapporo and Asahi on tap... more

The atmosphere & setting is beautiful. And we had a lovely view of the bay. The presentation of the food was lovely as well. But the sushi was a little bland. I know it's fine dinning, but the serving sizes do not justify the pricing. And our waitress seemed to forget about us at times.

They've managed to capture a niche in the market place that I really appreciate, and you find in other parts of the world, but not necessarily often in Canada.

Overlooking Vancouver's gorgeous waterfront and offering gourmet Aburi cuisine, Miku is my top choice for oshizushi. Priced at $18 for 6 pieces, the quality and flavours you get are reflected in the price. My personal favorite was the ebi oshi sushi with pressed prawns, lime zest, and ume sauce. I'd also recommend making a reservation a couple days beforehand since they do get very busy.

Food was generally good, though the seafood platter was disappointing for 78 dollars.. came with only 2 prawns, some oysters and clams and some pieces of sushi. Service could have been more attentive, often had empty drinks for quite some time before anyone noticed. OK, but expected more. Have had better experiences at Minami.

great spot to eat for dinner on a nice date. We pretty much tried everything on the menu but they're known for their "Aburia"-style sushi which was definitely great. They actually sear the sushi just a bit and use special sauces for each type of fish.
