Miku Japanese Restaurant Granville Square

“In the same way that people talk about getting Starbucks when they mean coffee, I want people in the city to say, ‘Let’s go to Miku’ when they want sushi!” explains executive Chef Kazuhiro Hayashi. Kazuhiro is passionate about his acclaimed Vancouver restaurant, and it shows.

Situated at Canada Place, overlooking the soaring white sails and across the ocean to the North Shore, Miku is the perfect setting for fresh and innovative Japanese cuisine. “We mainly focus on our sushi, especially our Aburi charcoal flame-seared sushi,” Kazuhiro says. “But we have wonderful seafood, too. We try to have as much Ocean Wise fish on our menu here and we have plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options too.”

In fact, despite being a seafood-focused restaurant, Miku offers plenty of appetizing delights for non-fish lovers as well. Try the melt-in-your-mouth tender soy-braised beef short rib at lunchtime, or the sous-vide prime rib at dinner and you might find that your favourite steakhouse in town is actually a seafood restaurant.
