- HPHoracioPH1365Los Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis restaurant was recommended by a lot of people in Vancouver. The food was excellent, our server. Charlotte was extraordinary. The manager was very attentive and came to our table to make sure food. Allergies would not be an issue, and we really appreciate it that gesture. Yeah The only issue we had was with the hostess, who was not really friendly. That alone could’ve been a bad experience for us, but the rest of the staff made it so we forgot our encounter with her. Overall, (without the hostess interaction) our experience was great.More infoMiku Restaurant - VancouverPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Coal Harbour•4.8
