Miro Kaimuki - Niu

Our recent dining experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The waiters were not only very nice but also incredibly professional, attending to our needs with attentiveness and care throughout the meal. However, the highlight of the evening was the food. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with lots of flavors and amazing presentation. Overall, we left the restaurant very satisfied.

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for quite sometime now. I’m so glad to have tried.Tasting course menu was great. We upgraded Pork belly to wagyu since we aren’t not into it. Glad they had alternative choice. New Zealand (farm raised) Salmon or Wagyu were the choice.Very friendly service. Very lively..positive way of saying noisy. I found it to be a bit too noisy for my preference for such an upscale dining experience. It was difficult to hear each other.Not suitable for a date night if your relationship is at early stage…unless they can seat you at the quiet spot. lol(We were seated in the middle of the restaurant. )Lastly, we found the crystal glass of the cocktail was chipped. Instead of making a new drink in the new crystal glass, the server just exchanged the glass by pouring the drink into a new glass, which is dangerous as the chipped crystal could have been inside the drink.. and it can go to the new glass.Better to insist to offer new drink for the safety of the diners. Something to be considered…that’s a minus.

From the outside looking in, you’d think Miro was still under renovation. But once you step into the establishment, you’re greeted with light colored wood and plenty of mirrors. The base menu is fairly priced, especially for the quality of food and creativity in taste and texture, but it is very easy to tack on a bunch of add ons. We did the brioche sampler, escargot, and wine pairing in addition to the tasting menu.Everything was delightful, but for the brioche sampler, I’d recommend instead to just do the tuna topping. This is because while uni and caviar are always decadent, the toppings in combination with the brioche was a little too rich and fatty. The brioche stick was almost like a stick of wagyu, it was deep fried and buttered up. So the leaner cut of tuna actually made the pairing the best among the three.The hamachi dish was a palate cleanser, much like a hit of sliced ginger between pieces of nigiri.The next one was sunchoke mushroom and sweet onion. It also came with sourdough and seaweed butter. The nori butter was great the seaweed flavor was actually integrated well into the butter. The bread came out piping hot and was addicting to eat. It was very hard not to wolf it all down, but fortunately I was able to dip a portion into the dish. The mushrooms were savory, and the egg yolk added richness to an already very creamy and flavorful dish.Escargot was nice, curry butter, strong flavors that complements the snails.The sea bass was so incredibly juicy … eating it with the roll of dough around it turned it into a very decadent spring roll.Pork belly was great, like a 东坡肉, and I enjoyed the crispy kale on top.Dessert was a little too sweet, and I’m pretty sure the black sesame bits are literally just chunks of a Chinese candy. So it was a little subpar compared to the rest. But still enjoyable especially with the paired sake.Speaking of, I also enjoyed the wine pairings a lot. Each was unique in flavor, not too heavy, and actually added complexity to each dish rather than drown it out. For example, the sweetness of the dessert worked well with the slight bitterness of the sake. The rose was a fun pairing with the hamachi, and the natural wines paired well with the mushroom and fish dishes. Red wines were well bodied but not too dry and heavy.All in all a great experience and would return. The only issue was that the small plates we were given were a little dirty. I suppose it was fine since they were just meant to catch crumbs and what not

Loved the tasting menu here! It’s a seasonal menu, so it changes around but everything was flavorful and fresh. My partner who is pickier doesn’t enjoy tomatoes even especially loved the gazpacho we had. We opted for a bunch of the specials on the menu, the brioche bite was one of the best first bites I’ve had and I still continue to talk about it. Unfortunately it wasn’t ahi that day, so I’ll have to hope I try it again next time! The atmosphere is also bright and pleasant.

We recently enjoyed a delightful family dinner at this chic restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance exuded modernity and sophistication. The pre-fixe menu surprised us with its inventive combinations of fresh ingredients, each dish beautifully presented on our plates. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, their friendly demeanor and attentiveness adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. The restaurant’s aesthetic was refreshingly minimalistic, with a bare concrete floor and high open ceiling creating an uncluttered space that allowed us to focus on the food and each other. Unfortunately, as the restaurant filled up, the noise level escalated, making conversations harder to hear and slightly detracting from an otherwise wonderful experience. In summary, our family dinner was a memorable one, thanks to the innovative cuisine, attentive service, and stylish ambiance. I recommend this restaurant for those seeking a modern culinary adventure. ?️?
