Honestly, I dont like the Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese - Japanese restaurant. They're everywhere and serve the same food for hungry sushi craving people. Japanese know how to make their restaurants unique.
I'm not a big fan of sushi but the sushi in Miko is the best. I love that you can seat on the bar and watch the sushi chef making sushi for you. They have a lot of different appetizers and all of them is very unique. My favourite is Shitake butter, and BBQ eggplant. They even go better with beer . The service is good. Not fancy but casual. I keep bringing my friends here and they love it.

This place has the best sushi in Vancouver forget ToJo's. The rice is still warm when you bite into their California rolls. Their udon is amazing. A favourite spot for hockey players and sometimes the Canucks, autograph heaven on the walls. Owner is very nice. The only thing bad is the price, but I can live with that.

Last year I was at Miko and Mats Naslund was there with his family, it's popular with other sports players as their autographs are on the walls. Went again this week, no hockey stars but their Sashimi lunchbox at $11 is good value considering the location and quality of the meal; miso soup, 4 pieces of sashimi, california rolls, sunomono salad and fried seafood very nicely presented. I have been there for dinner and it's pricey but for a good lunch on Robson this place stands out. Tables are close to each other but the staff are friendly and efficient.

So my favourit sushi place kadoya is closed on Mondays, but i had such a craving for spicy sashimi and tempura I ventured to Robson street to find this disappointment. I orderd the spicy tuna sashimi a miso soup and a half order of prawn tempura. The miso soup was probably the best thing i had. Their spicy sashimi came in a tiny portion with what tasted like rooster brand hot sauce and tabiko (i was not aware of the tabiko untill it arrived) but what horrified me was it came pureed!!! SASHIMI SHOULD COME CUT NOT PUREED!! And it was bland tasting to boot, The prawn tempura appy was 7$ for three small pieces and the tempura sauce wasnt even sweet it tasted like soya sauce that had the taste filtered out. for a miso soup, a tiny portion (itd say 1/2 cup worth) of Spicey tuna sashimi and an appy prawn tempura it came out to 20.68$............. The service was good and everything looked clean was the only positive, but i hate leaving a place hungy after having small bland portions of food, had to eat somewhere else afterwards. Sadly disappointed since i really wanted to like this place.
