Enjoyed their prix fixe holiday menu. Each course was well thought out, comforting, and nicely paced. The flavors were classic with thoughtful touches that made the menu feel special without being overdone. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, ideal for a holiday meal. Overall, a lovely prix fixe experience and a great spot to celebrate the season.

I had the prix fixe at the bar. Really attentive bar staff and servers. Everything we had was delicious and although the menu rotates regularly, you have to try the tuna on brioche (a mainstay). The presentation is gorgeous for every dish. Do try the cocktails — these are some of the most creative I’ve ever found, with one drink incorporating the flavor of peas. They also had a somm on staff who was very willing to share the extensive history of every wine in the pairing.

I had the prix fixe at the bar, and the staff were overall awesome and attentive. Everything I had was delicious with bold flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Not to mention, the wine pairing was phenomenal. It’s a beautiful establishment—you’ll definitely enjoy it.

Made a reservation online which was easy. Came here for our anniversary dinner. The staff was very friendly and professional. They had signed a card and even our menu had an anniversary message for us. They also started us off with a free glass of champagne which was very nice. The tasting course was absolutely fantastic, especially the fish dish and pork dish. The food was as good as anything you would get in NYC or LA. The service was knowledgable and professional, and did not rush us. The price is expensive but it is certainly worth it for a special occasion. The restaurant is a little chilly, I saw some people with sweaters. Parking can be tricky since it's Kaimuki, just get there early. I would go back since they rotate their tasting menu. Ambience was a little sterile but overall nice.

Delicious. Lots of strong flavors and very sweet mocktails. I got a bit sweetened out by the end but I thought the courses were delicious. I wish I had more room in my tummy.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s truly one-of-a-kind, this restaurant is a must-visit. Every dish bursts with originality, combining flavors in ways that are unexpected yet perfectly balanced. The menu manages to be both delicious and wholesome, offering meals that are satisfying without feeling heavy. Each bite is a testament to the chef’s creativity and dedication to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. It’s rare to find a place that excites your taste buds while also feeling good for your body—this spot does both effortlessly. A delightful culinary adventure from start to finish!

Delightful meal, this place is Michelin star worthy! Everything was beautifully presented with such care and innovation. And all delicious flavors, to say the least. We also really enjoyed the cocktail pairing, which you rarely see offered. Each cocktail was well balanced and crafted to complement the flavors of each dish served.

Visited Miro Kaimuki on my last trip to Honolulu with hopes of having a memorable dinner to finish off my trip and it delivered! Went for the normal tasting menu and thought that the dishes were very unique and comparable to cuisine at a one Michelin star level. Service was excellent and the staff did a good job of keeping us excited for the next dish coming. Would recommend for anyone visiting Honolulu! Parking was a little difficult and you are permitted to park behind the building but it is limited. Would recommend coming a little bit early to find street parking to make it stress free.

Food and service was top notch! The vibe is a notch below fine dining - casual bougie? I came here to celebrate my birthday. There was a set menu and I chose the wine pairings. There is also a cocktail pairing option. The food itself was delicious but tasted so different with the right wine pairing. My fave dish was the kingfish paired with the sauv b. The menu changes every month I believe so I would love to come back and try something new.

We had an incredible dinner experience at Miro Kaimuki! We are visiting from the Bay Area and we're looking for a fine dining restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The food is French-inspired with Japanese/Asian influences prepared with local ingredients. The service was exceptional and we loved the team's creativity with their monthly rotating prix fixe menus. We had the October 2025 menu with the cocktail and wine pairings, each carefully curated with unique fall flavors that complimented each course. Portions and pours were generous and really tasty. You must try the sourdough bread! I wish we could buy multiple loaves of it to bring home with us. The chef uses a 32 year old starter gifted by the chef at Commis, a two-star Michelin restaurant in Oakland. We found out that Chef Chris partnered with Mourad Lahlou from Mourad in San Francisco, to create Miro Kaimuki, which was a fun surprise for us Bay Area natives. A big shout out to our server, Paul and beverage director, James for their amazing service! They were attentive, explained each course and pairing thoroughly, and made sure we were enjoying our experience. We can't wait to return next time we're in Oahu!

All courses were exceptional, loved my meal here. Everything was thoughtfully done and the flavors were great. I especially liked the salmon course this month. It had a bit of crunch and tang. I am also still thinking about the dessert we had, so delicious fruity and creamy. The fish was cooked extremely well with the outside crisp and inside tender. Loved the steak as well with the Parmesan sauce. This is a great place to celebrate your special occasion. I felt very taken care of and love how they give you complimentary bubbles and macarons for your special moment. I was quite satisfied with my meal and thought it was an ample amount to be full. Service was amazing and helpful. They made sure we were okay with everything and made us feel very welcome. Ambience was modern, dark, and intimate. Nothing but good things about this place. Would highly recommend Miro Kaimuki!

Such a cozy night with good vibes. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The food leans toward Asian fusion with more of a fine dining twist. Really fun and creative dishes. What brought me in was the brioche toast with uni--it totally lived up to the hype. Honestly, the photo doesn't do it justice; it tastes even better than it looks. The drinks? Next level. If you're feeling a little bougie and just want to have a good time, this is the spot. The atmosphere was super chill--we had our own little corner, which made it feel even more intimate. Our server (who was also our bartender) was amazing. She gave us great food recs and actually took the time to chat a bit, which made the experience feel personal without being too much. I really love the vibe here. No one's judging, and the dress code is super casual--it's not that serious. Just show up, enjoy, and have a great time.

The food is really good! Each course was very delicate and well made. Came here 30 mins early but still managed to get seated right away. Ahi brioche is one of our favorites The service however could be slightly better.

TL;DR Fantastic through and through. Well deserving of the hype. ----- My wife and I were finally able to dine at Miro for a Friday date night for their March 2025 prix fixe menu. Please note there is a parking lot behind the building that is available for customers to use. If there are no stalls available, there should be street parking in the neighborhood. In addition to the prix fixe menu, we ordered the cocktail pairing, the ahi and uni brioche add-ons, and the sourdough bread special. While I'm glad we tried the cocktail pairing, I probably wouldn't order it again. Of the five cocktails, my wife and I only really loved a couple of them. I'm not particularly snobby about pairing food and drinks, so next time I will just order directly from the cocktail menu or perhaps try the wine pairing. The food, on the other hand, was spectacular. I was impressed with each dish, and I was particularly blown away by the brussels sprouts and the dessert. The brioche add-ons, which are the only regular offerings, are an absolute must-order. We didn't order the caviar one, but if I had to choose only one, I would recommend the uni brioche. The uni's texture and flavor perfectly compliment the brioche. The brioche itself is mind-blowing. Seriously one of the very best bread dishes I've ever had. I would order a side of just the brioche if I could. The menu changes monthly, so there's no point in making recommendations or identifying specific dishes. However, based on this particular menu, I have no problem highly recommending Miro. My wife and I will definitely be back to try another monthly menu.

I dined on the final evening of their November 2024 menu, which featured a newly expanded seven-course format. Standout dishes included a delicate scallop paired with butternut squash, tender pork belly crowned with ultra-crispy skin, and zabuton steak served with sunchoke three-ways. One must-try item, their beloved brioche toasts, was available à la carte. As a first-timer, I couldn't pass up the trio with ahi tuna, Hokkaido uni, and decadent caviar. The buttery brioche brought to mind the DIY uni brioche dish served at partner chef Mourad's recently closed namesake restaurant in San Francisco. In addition to the dishes, I very much enjoyed the balanced craft cocktails. I was tempted by their cocktail pairing option, and saw that they also offer zero proof cocktails. We enjoyed the full dinner menu at the bar, and the service was excellent--warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. The combination of hospitality, atmosphere, and cuisine made Miro Kaimuki one of my favorite dining experiences of 2024!

This was our very first menu tasting. And we will be doing it again! What a wonderful experience! Absolutely delicious, wonderful service (very informative -- all those helping us were truly there wanting us to have the best experience). The restaurant itself was beautiful and spacious and comfortable. Loved this entire experience. Did I mention how delicious the food was?? Also, please splurge on the paired drinks option. Magnificent.

UPDATE: Honestly I'm a little sadden. I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend and this is my favorite place to come to. We've been going to Miro for awhile. So recently for the month of November they added another course to the prix fixe. Which is a tiny 3 dish finger food snack to munch on. However, they cranked the price up to $130 per person just for this extra course that's not optional (like you have to get it). While everything tasted amazing and was super good. I don't think it's worth coming here anymore. I think adding a snack course to an already good menu is a little silly and then cranking the price higher is a bit much. Honestly, staff here is great and the food is amazing. But after that big price change and with an additional random snack course is a little baffling to say the most. I wish they had it like how they did it before.

Miro, in the Kaimuki 'hood, is a French-inspired local restaurant by Chef Chris Kajioka. Their menu changes every month, using seasonal ingredients. Our menu included: +Hirame.Amazake.Hazelnut +Parsnip.Curry.Pomegranate - served with MIRO sourdough bread +Cod.Cauliflower.Olive +Duck.Kabocha.Cabbage +Smoked Chocolate.ThaiTea.Rum We also ordered their special starters, such as the raw oysters and the brioche trio (uni, toro, and caviar) - the oysters were brine-y, and the brioche was so buttery; its toppings were generous and delicious. Overall, the courses were tasty and wonderfully presented - I really did like the MIRO sourdough bread, as the butter that complemented it contained rosemary, but wasn't too overpowering. The cod, while smelling slightly fishy, was delicate. The duck, which most restaurants do not know how to prepare correctly, was delicious - perfectly rendered, juicy, and flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself is casual, laid-back, and comfortable. There was a slight sewage-like odor coming from either the seats or the rear part of the restaurant, so, hopefully this can be fixed soon. Reservations are highly recommended. Street parking can be found in the area. +monthly seasonal menu +friendly service +street parking in the area

Miro Kaimuki fulfills Chef Chris Kajioka's wish to open a place in the town he grew up in. In partnership with Chef Mourad Lahlou the two of them took over Cafe Miro. They retained the Japanese influenced French cuisine but introduced Chef Kajioka's preferences for styling and flavor. Each course's portion size is modest, with enough there to let you dabble at the edges, then fully taste what Chef Kajioka wants you to experience. The Japanese influence is clear - you get umami flavors when you combine the protein with what accompanies it. There is not a lot of fat and very little butter. Olive oil, citrus, and vinegar bring together the high impact flavors. One place you will find butter, and you should not miss out on it, is their mid-course bread service. It is a nice little round sourdough boule in a dish with a thin light crust and a pillowy fine crumb. If it looks familiar it may be because you've previously dined at Commis and recognize the style of service and taste. But it is the salted compound butter that you need to try. It changes but it always something you'll want to take home. The menu description is intentionally vague. Three words. That means throughout the course of a month's prix fixe Chef Kajioka is not locked into presenting every dish in the same way all the time. There will be subtle additions or subtractions depending on what is at peak availability. The interior is a modest shade of blue that ties into Chef Lahlou's San Francisco restaurants. The decor is not meant to distract you from what is plated in front of you. You will have a primary server but the front of the house works as a team to ensure consistent service. When Chef Kajioka is in the kitchen you will see him peering into the dining room to get a feel for the pace and the reception of his food. The regular menu is one of the best 5 course prix fixe in town. For a short while they did a Monday only 3 course prix fixe that was entirely different from the 5 course one, but that has ended. In the future, expect to see a 7 course prix fixe rolled out.

I came here for dinner with family on a weekday night w a reservation. The wait staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The pre-fix menu was extensive with add ons (bread, for example) and caviar as a part of the starters. I got their signature cocktail which was so sweet, and delicious (you can't even taste the rum, which is what I prefer!). My family got the premium wine tasting as well, and they said that each dish paired so well. My favorite dish was the risotto, as it had an interesting curry kick to it. The asparagus ice cream on top of the salad was super innovative and fresh too. Overall, would recommend -- but a word of caution as you may walk away feeling satisfied but not extremely full given the portions are small. They do course it well, and the vibes are great, so overall a fantastic experience.

What a unique experience to dine here on a special occasion. Really enjoyed most of the dishes that I have not tried in the heretofore. Highly commendable was the way they greeted guests and being attentive to their every needs and then same. Even when guests leave, they still warmly bet them farewell. They only offer one preset menu (with add ons/upgrades), so that was kind of disadvantageous to those who preferred own dish selections. No doubt, I gained invaluable dining experience from this outing. Big thanks to my loved one (C.E.) for the unforgettable treat!

One of the best experience I've had this year so far. Excellent menu, well thought out combination of flavors, and just enough innovation to bring that oomph. My favorite element was the kimchi granita in the intro dish, and the star of the menu was in fact the white miso crème brûlée which happened to be on the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the well balanced, sophisticated flavors and left satisfied. One star was deducted because I thought they could've done better with the wine pairing. Two out of the total bottles I drink frequently at home - I expected to see some interesting and local options that would do well to complement the relatively interesting menu. That said, will absolutely stop by again when we're on Oahu next.

Miro Kaimuki was awesome! The combination and quality of the dishes was amazing. Who would think hiramasa sashimi with radish kim chee and grape served with slush ice and a cucumber tasting sauce could be so good. It was tasty, refreshing and a great way to start the dinner. Every dish that followed was unique in its own way. Each one tasty, no ingredient was overwhelming and all complemented each other nicely. The menu is prix fixe, $100 per person. For the quality of ingredients and creativity of each dish, it's worth it. Rarely will you be able to experience a meal like this. The place is very pleasant and comfortable. Parking is easy, there's a lot in the back of the restaurant. The service was excellent. I highly recommend Miro Kaimuki for any occasion!

Amazing food with great service. Eating at Miro was definitely an experience. With a seasonal and ever-changing menu, you get to try something new each time you visit but everything is delicious and cooked perfectly. Of the dishes we tried this time we visited, the sashimi in dashi broth was definitely the highlight and was one of the single best bites of the meal. The steak and scallops were perfect and the full 5 courses was just the right amount of food without feeling too full

We were interested in the March 2024 prix fixe menu and wanted to try it. It was just a night out for me and my family so we wanted to treat ourselves. Salmon. Basil. Strawberry: The salmon sashimi was fresh. The sauce paired with the salmon was delicious and refreshing. It was a light starter and a perfect way to move onto the next dish. Golden beet. Onion crème. Dill: This included their sourdough bread with wakame butter. The bread was delicious as usual. Super moist and crunchy on the crust. The wakame butter is amazing. I would love to buy the butter just on its own. The golden beets were fresh. The onion crème was the star. It adds so much flavor to such simple ingredients. Scallop. Vadouvan. Hijiki XO: This dish is like an elevated take on jook. The rice porridge was flavorful. You can taste some of the bacon fat. It was super rich. The scallop was cooked perfectly. The size was also perfect for the portion of this dish. Short Rib. Asparagus. Satsumaimo: I normally don't really like short ribs because they tend to be dry. The short rib for this dish was the best I've had. It has the right amount of fat and the meat was moist. The sweet potato puree was delicious. It reminded of the baked sweet potato in Japan. Banana. Taro. Vanilla: The dessert was so good. The banana and vanilla ice cream were not too sweet. The shredded taro chips were a nice addition to add texture and balance to the dessert. One of the best desserts we have ever tried. Escargot: This was an off-menu item. The last time we tried this the sauce was very salty. We tried it again the second time and it was better. It wasn't too salty and the escargot was rich with a subtle curry taste. The puff pastry on top was a nice touch. Overall, a great dinner experience. We enjoyed both the August 2023 menu and the March 2024 menu. It was hard to choose which we liked the most since both were incredible and different. Service was amazing. There were multiple of people that explained the menu and the ingredients for each dish. I also had the opportunity to speak to James and asked him about how the menu was planned every month. It was incredible how the Miro Kaimuki team was able to create such creative and original menu each month. Definitely would return again.

Holy cow, what an amazing, well curated experience! My honey booked a table for us at Miro the evening we got engaged, and it was the perfect place to celebrate! The restaurant hosts a prix fixe rotating menu that changes monthly and may be accompanied by a cocktail or wine pairing. We were greeted with a celebratory glass of champagne (they seemed to be celebrating a lot of big events that particular evening), and the beautiful dishes kept rolling from there. There are options for add ons, including a nigiri toast creation that was our favorite bite! The service was wonderful and staff seems to truly take pride in the menu, and entertaining diners. Would absolutely recommend for a special occasion (or a week night dinner if you've got a casual $500 lying around), and take someone who LOVES FOOD because you'll be eating a lot!

Miro Kaimuki: where the food makes you smile, the service feels like home in the absolute best way, and you always leave happier. Chef Chris impresses every single time. The August 2024 menu was phenomenal! The detail in each dish is so intentional and presented in such a way that ensures you feast with your eyes first and builds up the excitement. Cannot wait to be back! Miro is an absolute must do. 100/10

This post is regarding the brunch menu (but the dinner course is just as delightful!) -- my family ordered various foods and you can't go wrong with your choice. Our server, Camry (sorry if my spelling is wrong) and the chefs went above and beyond when I asked if ahi brioche was available for brunch. While it's not on the brunch menu and they don't ordinarily serve it, they were kind to accommodate me and my family! You absolutely cannot go wrong with Miro Kaimuki!

I came here on a Monday and it was empty when we got here around 530 pm. People started to slowly fill in and the place soon became packed around 700 pm. Reservations are needed. This is a cute date spot! The food here was great and the service was even better. My party sat at the bar and Paul really took care of us. The drinks were amazing! Mondays bistro "prix fixe" course has three items fixed at $72 a person. You can add on additional items, for additional costs, like: oysters, escargot, foie gras (liver), and a popular seafood briosche platter (with uni, toro, and caviar). I thought this course wasn't going to fill me up but I was walking out of there stuffed!

Another spectacular meal at Miro. We try to go every year and it does not disappoint. I love that they rotate their menu every month. The stand outs for November were the scallop (to die for), steak (excellent), and shrimp toast (awesome). Don't forget a cocktail as well, they are so delicious.

Miro was probably one of my favorite course dining place on Oahu when it first opened. Food, quality, service, ambiance all great! However recently the past two times I have gone I wasn't blown away by the food. The cost has also increased by a good amount. If the food quality was like it was for the current price I wouldn't mind spending that much. But still a great place to check out!

Food was good but a bit overpriced. The five course menu is $100/person. Appreciate that it's 5 courses and at the 100 price point it seems like a pretty good value. Unfortunately the entrees are a bit small. I left a lil bit hungry so I think there could have been just a lil more on the plate in my opinion otherwise no complaints. The cocktails are solid and fairly extensive. Overall, not sure if I'd come back but was glad to be able to check this place out. If you're not very hungry, this might be the perfect size date night dinner

Prix fixe lunch menu was solid, but mains fell short. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 3.5/5** Attentive service and food came out quickly, although I did get the feeling that the group was being pressured to spend more (heavily encouraged to get cocktails and add ons), which felt a bit icky. **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Absolutely gorgeous interior. **Price & portion, 4/5** The price is fair for the portion sizes (mains are full-sized), but it would have felt more worth it if I really enjoyed the mains. **Presentation of the food, 5/5** Stunning! The care and thought put into the presentation really comes through. **Taste of the food, 3.5/5** The starter (smoked trout dip) and dessert (cream puff) were both phenomenal! Tons of flavor and perfectly contrasting textures that were super fun to eat. However, both of the mains that we tried were under-seasoned. My partner got the wagyu loco moco which was incredible to look at, but lacked salt. My crispy confit duck leg was also stunning, but the meat itself was a bit dry and the entire course needed more salt. I know Miro Kaimuki is better known for their dinner menu, and I'm still open to trying that out, but was disappointed that their lunch menu didn't shine as much as I expected.

Birthday celebration at Miro! I have not been there over a year: still nice friendly service but the menu has changed from 5 course to 7 course dinner (see my picture). Not much add on any more: we missed fresh baked warm round bread yet their dishes are enjoyable and extremely delicious! Miro Kaimuki is still our favorite place to celebrate Birthday. Mahalo!

This is the sister restaurant of my favorite sushi place in hawaii when they were open. I knew I had to try this place. I did the tasting menu and also chose the additional uni brioche and the Japanese A5 options. In all it was 8 courses. Over all this is one of my top restaurants in Honolulu. Highly recommend this place if you love French Japanese food. Each plate is so exquisite.

What is not to love love about this restaurant! The food amazing, setting unassuming chic, staff friendly and overall vibe friendly and welcoming. A fabulous way to spend a birthday meal!

Great 5 course menu that rotates every month and an even better drink pairing as well! The dishes were all very yummy and paired well with the wine. My favorite was the escargot! Yum! Service was top notch and definitely a pleasure. Will be coming back!

I been wanting to try this place for the longest time. The overall experience was top notch, the food, service, and ambiance was great! We got the tasting menu, come with an open mind cuz you are not going to like every dish, and I don't think that's the point, you are there to try something new.

Michelin should give Miro Kaimuki Hawaii's first Star - this was phenomenal! I can't say enough great things about how kind and attentive the GM, my server, and the entire kitchen staff was. I highly recommend eating here!

10/10 food 10/10 service It was our last night in Honolulu and after a friend recommended this place, we figured why not. We're so glad we listened because it was definitely a highlight of the trip. Food was delicious and service was amazing. If we ever come back to Honolulu, we will definitely go again.

This was our first visit and we had a great time. We had a dinner reservation for 5pm and the meal lasted til 7:20pm. The food was interesting, beautiful, and delicious. We did the cocktail pairings and those were fun too. We added a few items to the meal, foie gras, uni brioche and ahi brioche. Several tables also had these and some also had the escargot which looked fabulous as well. The service was smooth. The space was comfortable. The sourdough bread was outstanding. Our favorite dishes were the beef cheek, the kajiki, and hiramasa. I also really liked the black sesame macaron they brought out as a surprise. Yum.

Food, service, ambiance, staff, james, ryan, private room, A+!! Thank you sooo much to our awesome boss, Jay!!

I loved Miro, and have been a handful of times for dinner and brunch before but my recent experience with them fell flat. At $135 per person (tax, tip and a glass of wine it came out to $188 per person no other add ons) for 7 courses you'd expect to be full or satisfied after the meal but I unfortunately was not and nor were the other 3 people in my party. The courses were great but the serving sizes were smaller compared to what we've had before. They also no longer have their signature bread, which is probably part of why we weren't satisfied afterwards. My server did her best to take care of us but it seemed like the kitchen was backed up. In between three of our courses we waited another ~15minutes after our plates and silverware were taken away for the next course. This was surprising considering the whole restaurant is basically eating the same thing. We still tipped 20% since that didn't seem like it was our server's fault. (Side note, I went to Leila last month and everything came out right away and we were ABSOLUTELY stuffed for less, even with the uni brioche and drinks on that side we paid $160 each.) It was my boyfriend and I's first fine dining date together and I felt pretty terrible for dragging him out. I ended up walking with him to zippys after to get him a chili rice. We sadly won't be back anytime soon.

From the street view, it looked like the restaurant is closed because all glass were painted. But upon entering, the restaurant and bar looked chic. Service is very good - attentive servers who come dish after dish to introduce our food and refill our drinks. Food was prix fix for $100/pax and extra for wine pairing. Food is very impressive and sourdough is not to be missed. Best of all, the ESCARGOT is to be had! Gosh was it delicious and it smells perfect. I just love their rendition of this dish. Taste and presentation were on point. We were so full from the 4 dishes plus a dessert.

Raw Oyster on a shell-off the menu Salmon-tomato-garpacho Corn. Agnolotti.black truffle Escargot's-off the menu So delicious with the sourdough bread was so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious miso sprea Cod.eggplant. Dashi Washugyu brocolli peach Watermelon-avocado-lime

We absolutely loved our experience here. The food was amazing, we had the May menu with the cocktail pairing and premium wine pairing. I'm really glad we tried both, as we preferred the wine pairing for the last 3 courses and preferred the cocktail pairings for the first 3 courses. That being said, we did enjoy all of the drinks. Our server was Kat, who was wonderful, and all the service staff worked seamlessly together to make our experience fabulous. The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and boisterous. Overall, we had a fantastic time and highly recommend!

I love the ambience. The food is incredible..like art. Every morsel has flavors that i just can't explain. Service was awesome. I only wish it was a bit cheaper so I could go more often.

What the heck -- 5 stars! Miro in Kaimuki absolutely blew me away. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender, so flavorful, and just a wow moment. I wasn't expecting to be so impressed by the oyster, but it ended up being one of the best things I ate all night -- super fresh and briny, perfection. The beet salad took me by surprise too, in a good way. I was expecting something a little sweeter, but it leaned more savory, and I'm not mad about it. The ahi toast on the brioche bun? Oh my gosh. That buttery, airy bun paired with the ahi was dreamy. Also, the white fish was amazing -- cooked perfectly and full of flavor. And can we talk about that cold paté with lychee jelly? It was so unique and unlike anything I've tried before. Even though the drinks were good (not quite as standout as the food), the Ube dessert at the end sealed the deal for me. The atmosphere is clean and modern, and we sat at the bar where the bartender was so friendly and knowledgeable. A perfect night all around!

Miro Kaimuki has been on my radar for a long, LONG time. I've passed by it countless times--always curious what's inside as the shades are always down. I finally had a reason to go, and it did not disappoint! Miro has been in Kaimuki for almost 30 years. It's located at the corner of Waialae and 9th Avenue, next to Hawaii National Bank. Only open 5-9pm (closed on Tuesday). There's a weirdly configured parking lot with TIGHT spaces and a tight one way lane behind the building. Just cross your fingers people park within the lines.. You can park in the "bank only" spots as it's closed at that time. Reservations are recommended, and you can easily make them online. Inside is spacious and your usual contemporary look and feel. Tables were spaced out well. However, it gets quite loud in there that it's hard to hear yourself. The host was pleasant and our server was awesome. Theres only a prix fixe menu that changes every month highlighting seasonal items. My review is for June (I KNOW! I'm behind!). However, there's a LOT of extras that you can add on to your meal, which should be on a menu because I was not able to remember (and hear clearly) every single that was said from my server since everything included a lengthy description of the ingredients and how it's prepared, so of course I did forget an item that I initially wanted to order when I first heard it. Be that as it may, let's begin! We were given complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary, which was a nice touch. We started with Fresh Kumamoto Oyster with a Mango Salsa, Champagne Mignonette, Egg White Foam, and Basil Pesto. Wow, what a bite! Everything went well together, each accentuating the sweetness and cutting into the brininess of the oyster. Also enjoyed the presentation with the oysters on top of colored stones. First course on the menu is Hamachi Sashimi with a Watermelon Vinaigrette, lychee and micro greens. This was on the light and bland side. The sauce did not come through to the fresh hamachi and dare I say--watery. Next was an add on, which seems to be a top favorite, the brioche that's from the Breadshop a block away. You can choose from fresh ahi, uni, and caviar. We choose the ahi and uni. These were smaller than I imagined from the photos, but they were quite rich and delicious. The brioche was quite oily (probably why it's so good), moist, and crunchy. The ahi was fresh and melt in your mouth. The best was the uni. Super fresh, rich and creamy, and went very well with the brioche. Second course was braised carrots with honey crème fraiche and fried sunflower seeds. Simple and delicious. Looks modest, but the carrots were tender and sweet and went well with the crème fraiche. Sunflower seeds added a nice crunch. Next add on was Fresh (just flown in) Maryland Soft Shell Crab. It was the first day offered, and WOW!! What a treat! Probably the best thing of the meal!. I haven't had soft shell crab in such a long time, and I have never seen it offered anywhere that's not in a bun or just deep fried alone. It came with a corn gremolata, which paired well with the perfectly seasoned and fried soft shell crab. The meat was tender, rich, and buttery. I'm excited just thinking about it! Third course was the Smoked Salmon with a zucchini sauce and tomato jam. This was excellent! Perfectly cooked salmon that was moist and tender with just the right amount of smokiness. The tomato cut into the rich salmon nicely. Well balance of flavors. Fourth course was Roasted Duck Breast with a Cherry Jus and Roasted Eggplant. The Duck was prepared beautifully. Tender and juicy meat. Rendered fat, and crispy skin. The eggplant was surprisingly very good. Maybe even better than the duck! It had excellent char and excellent flavor, and cooked just right. Not too soft or firm. Last course was dessert. Mahleb cookie with ricotta cheese and grape jelly. It was good. Not overly sweet, and you can taste each individual ingredient. Since it was our anniversary we were treated to a nice Crème Brûlée Tart. It was very good. Nice crust! Rich and creamy. A nice way to end the amazing meal. Overall, Miro was an experience! Enjoyed every single bite and every sip of wine. I appreciate the fact they change their menu every month to highlight seasonal items that are at its peak freshness and quality. The freshness of the mango and soft shell crab really stood out. The add-ons are definitely necessary and are where you'll find the best dishes as just the prix fixe menu alone wouldn't be enough for a meal as the portions are just a few bites. It was $88 for the prix fixe, plus $48 wine pairing ($75 for premium wine), plus all the add on dishes. Yes, those add ons can easily push you to spending nearly $500. That's if you're able to catch all the add on items the server tells you. I missed escargot and Foie gras! Service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was courteous, professional, and friendly. I'll definitely come back again! Soon!

Taylor was our server. Her measured enthusiasm, genuine not-fake and professionalism made the entire experience that much better. Really made our meal an enjoyable time. All the staff were great but Taylor would crouch down and explain the dishes and wine pairing, just that little extra. I forgot to picture the brioche trio. All excellent, uni my personal fav.

Delightful meal, this place is Michelin star worthy! Everything was beautifully presented with such care and innovation. And all delicious flavors, to say the least. We also really enjoyed the cocktail pairing, which you rarely see offered. Each cocktail was well balanced and crafted to complement the flavors of each dish served.

There are too many good things to say about Miro!! I love going here especially for date night. My boyfriend sometimes comes here just to sit at the bar for a couple of drinks and order a couple of supplements. Miro is definitely on the pricier side and can get very expensive if you order drinks and supplements. The uni toast is TO DIE FOR, but honestly so is the ahi and caviar toast. Please get at least one of them when you go because you will definitely regret it if you don't!! This review is more tied to the July 2023 menu that I had a couple of weeks ago. The first time I went to Miro was during a collab they had with a chef from Miami. This chef has Peruvian background and everything was great! I think it's so awesome that Miro's menu is always changing and there's always something new to try. July 2023 menu: OMFG AMAZING! Every single dish we had was unbelievable! It was one of those meals where you keep saying "wow this is so good" with every bite you have. Miro is truly amazing with how intricate they are with their dishes. My favorite dish this month would probably have to be the cabbage and turnip, as well as the cold soup. Honestly, was not expecting for these starters to be my favorite part of the meal. I would also like to personally shoutout Michael, the bartender for always taking care of my boyfriend and I. It's always a pleasure talking to and being served by him. Thank you for always making our experience at Miro unforgettable!

Incredibly fantastic, dining experience, outstanding food, service, wine, selection, mock tails, ambience, low noise, level, very friendly staff, super recommendation

Miro Kaimuki stands out as one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining at in Hawaii. The service, under the direction of the new GM Joseph, is impeccable and elevates the entire dining experience. The food and wine pairing took us on a beautiful culinary journey. My wife opted for the cocktail pairing, which was fascinating, and I'm definitely planning to try it on our next visit. The dessert was exceptional, a perfect ending to an exquisite meal. We've already booked our next two visits, which speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of this fine dining establishment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience in Hawaii. Just wanna say thank you to every staff member as you truly set the bar for other restaurants to try to follow . Blown away with how each of you are watching the other to ensure that your service is calibrated with such precision. Wow...

Absolute perfection from beginning to end. The food and service were exceptional. As the menu constantly rotates, I can't wait to come back every time I'm in Honolulu.

We had the most amazing experience at Miro Kaimuki. We were recommended to check out this restaurant for our anniversary and I am glad we did. Miro can be found in the heart of Kaimuki in a restaurant front that appeared to be a closed business. I remember walking by their entrance until my spouse pointed out we were right in front of it. Once you enter, you are awestruck by their location's beautiful decor and ambiance. We quickly gave our name and they seated us promptly. We were seated at the bar. At first, I was a little disappointed we were seated at the bar in the corner by the front. However, it ended up being the best spot in the restaurant after experiencing fantastic service from their bartender that night. Fortunately for us, we knew a staff member who treated us very well that night, including the rest of their team. We definitely were made to feel special. We were treated to the most delicious food and alcoholic drinks I have ever had. I look forward to coming here in the future! 10/10 recommend! P.S. are seating area didn't have lighting for the food which made it difficult to capture how beautiful and delicious the food was.
