Miko Izakaya Bar & Kitchen

Nothing says Japan quite like flawless futuristic landscapes. At Miko, they're celebrating Japan's culinary reputation with a perfectionist perspective that is simply unrivalled.

Self-labelled a modern sanctuary, Miko seamlessly bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary, inviting diners to explore their rich world during a stolen evening. Inviting but with a gleaming urban undertone, you'll find that everything here is designed with symmetry in mind. The result is a streamlined venue where everything has its place and thoughtful design has given way to Miko's vivid personality that is apparent around every corner.

Japanese food is an art form in itself. Where the perfect maki roll is determined by the visible layers, rolling technique and density of the rice, Maki strives for perfection every time with their tempura, tuna, salmon and dragon rolls. Nigiri, which looks simpler than maki, is an art form and Miko gets it right every time.

Aside from that, their sashimi melts on the tongue, their skewers deliver some seriously bold flavours and their crispy crunchy selection offers plenty for texture lovers. No wonder that, when it comes to Japanese food in Whitechapel, Miko is the name on everybody's lips.
