Miraku Japanese Restaurant

I don’t know what is up with Canada and their food, but seems like everywhere I go the food tastes horrible.
I was craving sushi and I found this place with four stars and the most review. This place is disgusting. Not fresh at all, I became very bloated from eating here.
The crunch roll was soggy and did not taste good and who puts strawberries in sushi?! Gross! Well I mean if you do, at least make it so that it compliments the dish such as mango with salmon.
The tempura udon tasted worse than instant noodles and had shredded carrots in the broth, not good at all. Tastes like watered down soggy frozen noodle soup.
Also, this place is definitely Korean owned. Therefore, I expect better rolls from them.
I would give 1 star, but I feel bad because they were kind of nice and it was kind of clean…

This place is so boss. Although I did leave feeling 6.734lbs heavier because of all the deep fry, it was hands down the best Americanized sushi roll I’ve had to date. ‘Crazy Chicken Roll’. Had some sweet chili sauce over it along with some other mystery sauces. Also had some jalapeños in it or something. I love spicy, so this was right up my alley.
I even loved how they cut each piece/​roll in half which made it so much easier to eat. They also have a complimentary deep fried banana covered in pancake syrup and topped with a strawberry.
I will be back.

Our go-​to sushi spot in all of the Fraser Valley and most of the Lower Mainland. Been going here for over 10 years and it has served great sushi the whole time. The service is very friendly and very clean inside.
Our favourites are the seared tuna belly (Toro) and Spicy Tuna Rolls.
Ask the chef to create you something with your favourite ingredient (s) and you will be very surprised.

Waited 10 minutes and didn’t even get a menu. There were only 3 other tables with people. First and last visit for me.

I came here based of the number of stars this restaurant scored. Unfortunately, it did NOT meet my expectations. The sashimi was not fresh at all. The sushi rolls were very disappointing. Overall, disappointing experience. I only ate sushi rolls and sashimi, I did not try any of their cooked meals.

I really wanted to love you but it was just OK.
Im rarely in the Langley area, had to do some business here so I though why not try some of the foodie Unilocalers recommendations in the area. At firsts seems like our options were a bit limited. I’ve been craving sushi lately so I typed in «sushi» nearby… And Miraku came up. And yes I drove around in circles trying to find it, its tucked away in a little strip mall. I almost gave up but there is was, and it had just opened for lunch.
Cute place, very modern Japanese restaurant. I was greeted by a young man who also was my server, I sat down and was given a menu. For lunch I tend to grab combos or specials. I ordered the lunch special combo C. Which included chicken teriyaki, several tempura, deep fried gyoza, dynamite roll and a miso soup.
I know this is not «sushi» but it was a really good price at $ 9.95.
The restaurant was empty, and my food still took about 20 minutes felt longer because I was the only one there. When I finally got my food it came in your typical bento box. Everything was hot. Dynamite roll was my favorite, the teriyaki was meh it had no flavor just chicken, bean sprouts, one piece of carrot and 2 piece of broccoli. The teriyaki sauce was so light all I could taste was bean sprouts. The tempura was also good but they only gave me about two tablespoon of sauce): I guess you get what you pay for.
Ok maybe I would have given Miraku 3.5 stars not 3 if I had the option. Over all it was ok, I think I might have to come back for dinner and have «real sushi.» Some of the pictures look really good.

I heart this sushi place!!! The bonfire roll is my favorite. I make strange groaning noises while eating it I must admit. I dream about this roll. They have really friendly service and the rolls are created so fast!
The prices are very reasonable and I would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys their sushi.

Love it! I go out of my way to visit this restaurant. I’ve tried dozens upon dozens of sushi restaurants in the lower mainland, and this by far surpasses them all. I’ve recommended this place to friends and colleagues. The food is always great and well presented, and the prices are reasonable for what you receive.
You won’t regret it!

I can’t imagine a world without Japanese food, seriously, I can’t!
One day, my husband brought home some take-​out from some Japanese place in Langley,. No name, just a place across the street from Steve Nash… I told him «This is really good, where was this place again?»
Anyhow, a week or two passed… Then again, my Japanese craving led us to the restaurant where the take-​out originated from… MIRAKU!
First off, based on it’s location and not so visible sign, I would have never came to this place. Of course, since my Matthew had already tried it, he knew it right away.
Again, based on location, I had already preconceived notions on how it was going to look on the inside. But to my pleasant surprise and amazement, this place was gorgeous inside. You would have never believed it looked like that from the outside. It’s also much larger inside then I had assumed. Shame on me for making assumptions. The décor and layout was perfect down to the view of the sushi bar. The lighting was just as it should be for a Japanese restaurant and the cleanliness of Miraku was great too (what with me being a germ-​a-​phoebe)
The service was excellent! Absolutely excellent! Melissa, our server, greeted us immediately with a smile and menus. I thought it was very thoughtful for her to give my 4-​year old his own Transformers place mat, which by the way is his favorite! And even a workbook and crayons. I love it when restaurants do that! The great thing about Melissa is she didn’t hover, she gave us ample amount of time to look over the menu before she took our order.
The food came out in the perfect amount of time. Although I was super hungry on this particular day, I didn’t mind the wait. I always figure, if you wait a little extra, the food is more fresh! Chef Paul prepared us some amazing dishes. The quality and attention to detail was definitely delivered in our order. The taste and presentation was far beyond what I would have imagined it would be, so we were more than happy and willing finish all of our food!
The price was reasonable and expected for the quality of food and service we received, so we were not at all surprised by the bill.
After the meal, we chatted with Paul and Melissa for a few minutes about their business and it was very nice talking to them. They were very personable and welcoming.
We will most definitely be back here soon and just a warning for any other restaurants in the area, you’ve got some pretty tough competition here… In my opinion…
Thanks so much for the great experience Paul & Melissa! We look forward to seeing you soon! Maybe today? ;D
