The folks behind Miku Vancouver, a popular sushi restaurant located right by the water near Canada Place, have announced the soft launch date for their second location in Richmond.
Aburi Restaurants Canada and River Rock Casino Resort announced the news today, revealing that the new location will begin to welcome guests with a soft opening on Feb. 17.
While limited reservations can be made now, a formal opening date is expected sometime in March.

“We have many loyal guests who are either travellers to our beautiful province or live in
Richmond. River Rock is an ideal setting for our second Miku location in Metro Vancouver,
especially given its proximity to the airport,” said Seigo Nakamura, founder and CEO of
Aburi Restaurants Canada, in the release.
“This soft opening is an exciting milestone for our team – they have been working very hard behind-the-scenes to prepare Miku Richmond for guests to finally experience for the first time,” Nakamura added.

Aburi Restaurant Canada has also revealed some interesting details about the restaurant’s design, including a centrepiece created by long-time Japanese artist collaborator Hideki Kimura. The piece will anchor the dining room.
