    Amazing experience and hands down the best sushi I have ever had. Miku continues to exceed itself each visit. Same server as previous years, as always an immaculate professional and that alone is worth the visit. Amazing curated meal experience with every request accommodated. Loud table behind us, but that's not their fault.

    The whole meal was outstanding, but I especially loved the Tuna Tataki and D.A.M. Good roll. Service was great! We had hot fresh green tea poured at least 8 times while we were seated. Best restaurant I have been to in a long time in terms of both food and service.
