Miraku Japanese Restaurant

Best lunch ever!

We stopped in for ramen and Wooow !

I am a picky person when it comes to Japanese food and this place was great. We found it originally because I had a hankering for japanese after being in Vegas for 4 days and being food gluttons on rich food.

We were not disappointed and I have leftovers to have for lunch tomorrow. We ordered the Miso tempura ramen and it came with a full order of assorted tempura! I also ordered the dynamite roll, favourite. I will definitely be back here, yummmm.

A sweet family owned business, I highly recommend it.

Sushi seems to be the go-to meal for this week with the weather on the extreme! During our visit to Langley we decided to try out a new restaurant we haven't tried before amongst the many in city! We ordered the Ebi Pop Pop Roll & Sashimi Box. Both orders were fresh and quite a filler! The Ebi pop pop roll was a fun choice with the fried shrimp on top. Nice to try for the first time, but I'd probably go for a roll that is a little more different next time because the roll itself was your good ol' California roll which was quite similar to the roll that was in the Sashimi Box. Overall a good place to stop by for some Japanese eats with family.

I am always in search of delicious and fairly priced sushi, bonus if they have aburi / oshi sushi on the menu! I found Miraku through yelp as I was looking for sushi places in Langley and was eager to come here after seeing that they serve, you guessed it...oshi sushi! We came to dine in, it was not busy so we were sat right away. We ordered a salmon avocado roll, bonfire roll, salmon aburi and appetizer tempura. We were happy with the quality and presentation of the sushi. Everything tasted delicious and fish tasted fresh, portions were fair as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the oshi sushi was. Most places I have visited feature oshi sushi for about $13-$15, while Miraku has it for $10.95. This is probably the most affordable option for oshi sushi I have encountered so far, which I was very impressed by. Not only is it affordable, but it tastes very good too. The iconic slice of jalapeño that you always find on salmon oshi was of course present, but what made it great was how thinly sliced the pepper was. It wasn't overwhelming with spice, yet the jalapeño flavour was still very present. I also really enjoyed the bonfire roll because of the variety of textures; it was fresh and slightly creamy from the spicy tuna and had a nice little crunch from the sweet potato flakes.

The restaurant seemed very clean, the tables did not have plexiglass barriers but were distanced. There were probably only 3 or 4 tables open for dine in, which makes sense because it's a fairly small restaurant. Servers were friendly, helpful and all wore masks. Service was also very quick.

I do wish they had torched special rolls, since they already serve oshi sushi, might as well add more torched items to their menu! But just a suggestions! All in all a good experience and I will be returning to try the other rolls and most especially the other oshi sushi.

Great value, service was better than average, loved the menu selection and for me it's very convenient to home. Definitely will be back

We were in the area and saw the high reviews so decided to stop by for dinner and was glad we did. That was the best tempura I've ever had, very light and perfectly cooked. Kids ordered teriyaki chicken and that was also delicious and I'm not even a fan of teriyaki. All the sushi tasted fresh and was well made. They had some type of clear noodles as part of the bento boxes that was interesting and delicious. Place is small and cozy and service is fast. If we return to the area we will come back!

First time here and the food is delightful! Just had the lunch special Deluxe and could not finish it all... Quality seafood (sockeye salmon, not that mushy farmed stuff) and generally all fresh and tasty.

Family business with friendly and prompt service. I was a bit early and my order was on my table in less than 10 minutes. Easy access and free parking. What's there not to like!!

Their higher yelp rating that inspired me to come here is quite puzzling. Almost all aspects of the food quality was closer to 1 star. The prices are lower and more reasonable here but you seem to get what you pay for in terms of lower prices = lower quality. The 3 star service was their best attribute. The gyoza tasted straight out of a Pre-made frozen processed food package and not cooked well either, being really dried out. House salad was a good concept but the lettuce was wilted and not fresh. Gomae was decent tasting but drowning in the dressing. Did not trust ordering raw fish here. Had Inari nigiri but the tofu skin was speckled black either from being cooked incorrectly or some other reason I probably do not want to know why. That was visually disgusting. There was an option to get a real crab California roll with an upcharge, but it was the type of roll with lots of mayonnaise and not apparently king crab either which I can understand in the shortage these days. That roll was edible but very underwhelming. The cucumber and avocado portion was too little in the roll. Can't remeber that it had any tobiko. Chicken breast teriyaki was not an available option besides the cheaper to make dark thigh meat option. The rest of the meal were all items we would like to forget eating. It all tasted like lower quality preprocessed food and seemed to have massive quantities of sodium or msg. Didn't sleep so well the night after that meal, and even drinking several glasses of water didn't help. Tea seemed more like a non distinct oolong black tea than a typical tasty rejuvenating Japanese green, barley, or rice tea I would expect in a place like this. They didn't ever refill it either, nor the water, which was a big miss considering the venue is very small. They also forgot to serve an item we discussed twice during ordering, but in the end I was glad to not have to eat or pay for it. The crooked wall socket in the wall I noticed after seating was likely an early foreshadowing warning sign of their lack of attentiveness to quality that I missed acting on to leave before ordering. If this is a higher rated neighborhood Japanese restaurant in the greater Vancouver area, it's not looking good for the future dining at regular day to day Japanese restaurants in the area. I'm almost scared to go to any others in this specific area if the bar is this low.

Best ramen I have ever eaten. Chashu ramen with miso broth is bussin. The tonkotsu broth is also delectable. Plentiful helpings as well. Highly recommend for ramen.

My husband and I ate lunch here because of the stellar Yelp reviews, but I'm sorry to say we were disappointed.

The yam roll was SUPERB and everything came out very, very fresh -- you could tell every single item was made to order. But everything else we ordered was mediocre at best and very bland, so the "eh" food far outweighed the one good roll (aka yam roll) in our order. We won't be going back.

Sooo good! Super friendly and everything was fresh, delicious and priced fair! I'll definitely be back! My new favorite sushi spot in BC!
