📍 LOCAL TIPS FOR MIKO SUSHI

Make a Reservation

Miko is very popular, especially on weekends and during dinner hours. Locals often book in advance to avoid long waits — it’s a small, traditional-style space.
Sit at the Bar for an Authentic Experience

The sushi counter offers front-row seats to the chefs at work. Great for solo diners or those wanting to chat with the itamae (sushi chefs).
Order Off the Menu

Regulars recommend asking for off-menu specials, especially for sashimi. Things like live uni, otoro, or special tataki are available seasonally and not always listed.
Go for Traditional, Not Trendy

This isn’t the place for deep-fried rolls or fusion sushi. Stick to classics like hot spicy tuna, sockeye salmon nigiri, and tuna tataki — they shine because of quality and technique.
Lunch is a Hidden Gem

Miko has shorter waits and quieter vibes at lunchtime, with many of the same high-quality items for better value.
Ask for Daily Fresh Cuts

The chef frequently brings in select cuts of toro, hamachi, or Japanese scallop. These premium options can change daily.
Sake Selection

Miko offers a curated list of traditional Japanese sake. Ask your server for pairing suggestions, especially with sashimi.
Cash or Debit Preferred

Some reviews mention credit card limitations, so it’s a good idea to bring alternate payment just in case.

To the Miko store manager On April 17, 2024, my wife and I went to eat at Miko Restaurant, Robson Street, Vancouver. The food was delicious. Each dish was small, if you weren’t full you had to order more. When ordering more, you had to wait in line for a long time, so you couldn’t eat continuously. Order more food with the female attendant. The employee said she was in charge of cleaning the tables. There is no duty to take food orders. She pointed out the order to another female employee directly taking orders. She refused to call another employee to come and take my order. So I had to go and order with the female employee myself. She’s so dry. What are you not willing to do outside of your duties? Mr. Mana
