Miku
A premier waterfront Japanese restaurant famous for its flame-seared oshi sushi, with the salmon oshi sushi as its signature, highly popular for both lunch and dinner.
Founded by Seigo Nakamura and opened in 2008, Miku relocated in 2013 to its current waterfront location next to Canada Place, offering views of the harbor. The signature dish is the Aburi Salmon Oshi Sushi, but guests can also order a six-piece Oshi Sushi Sampler or opt for a six- or seven-course Kaiseki menu. Lunch is relatively easier to get into, with some diners reporting being seated at the bar immediately in the afternoon; weekend dinners are often fully booked during peak hours, so reserving ahead via OpenTable is recommended. Individual oshi sushi plates are around CAD 25, with an average spend of CAD 50-80 per person, and Kaiseki menus ranging from CAD 135-180. It is a few minutes' walk from the Waterfront SkyTrain station.
