Dine in elegance at Miraku.

by BridgetGOC at Citysearch

Every other month we treat ourselves for a night out of fine dining and Miraku is always our selection.

Although I am not a big sushi eater (my partner eats it quite a few times a week) he raves about the quality and taste.

My special tastes are the home made salad dressing (which is amazing), the new elegant whitefish, the scallops, dumplings and of course the wonderful saki selection. Not to mention the lovely tea.

I feel like the owners are my friends when I walk in and the decor makes my heart sing. Such a lovely evening out for us. Thank you to all at Miraku San Ramon, Bridget and Ken.

Mmmmm.... Sushi...

Contributor at Citysearch

I absolutely love sushi, so I go to several different places to try new things, but I always come back to miraku. The food is always great, and the service is top notch. I'm one of those people who drinks a ton of water with my meals and they always fill my glass before I can even think that I need more. I don't come

regularly, maybe once every couple weeks at most, but they always remember me and make me feel like I'm right at home. I would highly recommend this restaurant!!

The Best Sushi in the East Bay, Hands Down

by Rerbo at Citysearch

Having been to over 100 sushi restaurants throughout the world including some of the highest rated by Mobil and Zagat including Nobu in LV and NY, Maki in SF, and Sushi Yasuda in NY. This little classy restaurant is one of the best. Rated as the best sushi by Diablo magazine, you have got to try this gem. Although the service has always needed a little work, the food is imaginative, fresh and the selection is extensive. The fish is of the highest grade. The decor is wild and exciting and the owner changes the decor every season. Prices are high, but for what you get it is comparable to any sushi in SF. If you like good sushi, you cannot miss this.

• Pros: Great Specialty Rolls and the highest quality fish is used.
• Cons: Service has always been a little off.

Absolutely terrible sushi

by veitas at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I ate at this restaurant last night and were completely disgusted with our food. The sushi was very very fishy indicating that it was not fresh at all. We only could take a few bites of the food before asking for our check...it was that bad! The California roll was the driest and fishiest tasting that I have ever had and when they brought over their "famous" Y2K roll it smelled like someone had just opened a can of tuna fish.

We will NEVER go back to this restaurant!

Overpriced and low quality Japanese Food

by keenoman78 at Citysearch

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time and was extremely disappointed. We were very hungry and was far from satisfied when we left. First, the decor is confusing in itself. There is rainbow of neon lights, posters of a motorcyle business from the area, and elements resembling a restaurant from Star Trek. This is combined with waitresses in traditional Japanese garments. Second, the menu has your typically types of Japanese cuisine such as teriyaki chicken and tempura which is what we both had. We started with Maguro and Ebi. The fish did not taste absolutely fresh. Our chicken was served on fancy plates with tacky plate garnishes. The chicken was somewhat dry and tasteless. The tempura had some pieces that where hot and some that were cold. I've had much larger and better quality Japanese throughout the Bay Area. Third, the price was grossly high for the amount and quality of the food. To sum it up, if you want to go to a place with style and no substance than this is your place. If you want to experience good food at fair prices this is not the place. We experienced other places near by that surpass every aspect of this restuarant.

• Cons: decor, food quality, grossly high prices
