Waterfront restaurant known for aburi-style flame-seared sushi; listed as Recommended in the 2026 Michelin Guide.
Miku Vancouver is a Japanese restaurant at 200 Granville St, Suite 70, on the Coal Harbour waterfront in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is listed as Recommended in the 2026 Michelin Guide. The restaurant is known for aburi-style sushi, in which the topping is briefly flame-seared so the surface caramelises while the interior stays tender, and the style has become closely associated with the venue in the city. The emblematic dish is aburi salmon sushi, seared and finished with sauces and garnish, and the menu also covers other nigiri, rolls and cooked Japanese plates; visitors should check current offerings, as items change. The dining room is large and modern, with floor-to-ceiling views toward the harbour and mountains, a polished and busy atmosphere, a moderate to lively noise level and a smart-casual dress norm. Prices are in the premium band of roughly CAD 90-180 (about USD 63-126) per person before drinks, tax and gratuity, and a set or omakase-style menu, where offered, can be a more predictable way to sample the style than ordering à la carte. The drinks list includes sake, wine and cocktails, and seating at the sushi bar offers a closer view of the preparation, whereas tables at the window favour the waterfront outlook. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly for sunset window tables and weekends, and the restaurant's website lists the current booking method; booking a week or more ahead for prime times is sensible, while lunch is typically easier to arrange. The waterfront location is close to Canada Place, the Waterfront SkyTrain and SeaBus station and the cruise terminal, so it is convenient for visitors based downtown. Shellfish, raw-fish and other allergies should be mentioned at booking.
