We're from Seattle, my husband lived in Japan for 6 years, and we eat sushi every week. Our top priority in a sushi restaurant is the quality of the fish: Miku provided, and we'd happily come back any time we're in Toronto again.
The staff was accommodating when our party wanted to move to a quieter table, and our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.
The non-fish menu items were creative and delightful. Our party had:
APPETIZERS
* the tofu & potato salad (5/5)
* Japanese Crispy Chicken (4/5 - very good but I felt it needed something to brighten it up, like a small salad or something)
FISH/ABURI
* maguro sashimi (4.7/5 - nothing to hide behind, perfect texture, ever so slight lack of followthrough in flavor)
* Salmon Oshi Sushi (5/5 - a subtle spiciness and smokiness)
* Aburi Signature sushi plate - 4 pieces nigiri (5/5)
* Premium Sushi Selection - 4 pieces nigiri (5/5)
* a custom-made crab roll with just crab-mayo mixture (5/5)
DRINKS
* Toji Fizz (5/5 - non-alcoholic, very light and refreshing)
* Affogato (5/5 - I'd call this a dessert! An espresso shot on jasmine tea ice cream: It was amazing and came with a lovely little cake, AK.A. "financier", something like a "green tea brownie")
DESSERTS
* Tahitian Vanilla Bean Cheesecake (5/5)
As far as price goes, it's expensive, but a really high-quality Japanese meal in Seattle would be much more, so we were very pleasantly surprised. The attention to detail, the thoughtful menu, the ambiance, and the presentation definitely makes Miku a great choice if you're looking for an upscale restaurant that can impress you with the food just as much as all the other details.
