Mirai Sushi Gold Coast

Mirai Restaurant is quite an unforgettable experience, but not in a good way. The restaurant is really small and unfortunately, totally not authentic. While the service was commendable, the taste of the food was awful.One of the most baffling things was that the sake was served in a champagne glass. To make matters worse, I had to constantly shoo away ants and mosquitoes from my table, which was unbelievable. I was more occupied with shooing the insects than enjoying my meal.The chicken dish was excessively salty, and the wasabi and ginger tasted off. The ambiance didn't help either, as the place felt humid and old. Overall, a highly disappointing dining experience.

Nestled in a corner of the Hilton Suites off the Magnificent Mile - is a cozy Japanese restaurant - very welcoming and inviting. It is fairly small but not what you would consider cramped - we were greeted by our server and a hearty greeting from the Itamae or sushi chef! The drink menu was pretty spectacular - plenty of quality sake's to choose from - I'd go with the cold sake - the mixed drinks are pretty epic - the Tokyo Mule is a must! I was happy with the sushi offerings - my dinner was Chef's Choice - my selection of sushi was excellent and offered some amazingly tasty blue fin tuna! If you desire a quiet evening with a loved one or friend you might want to consider Mirai - the menu is a la carte - soup, salad are extra - all in all, a great experience!!

TINIEST Restaurant I have ever been in! Dark and super cramped, felt like we were dining with the table next to us. Was this a coat check room converted to a sushi bar? The food was ok, nothing special for the STUPIDLY high prices they charge. Portions were small. Servers seemed not interested in any customer service. Hostess just downright rude....Skip this spot! We won't go back.

I've gone to the Division location for over 20 years so I was quite surprised it closed but so happy to be able to get Kani Nigiri, and a spicy mono! These are my favorite sushi dishes anywhere I have ever been in the entire world! There's only a few seats in the new location but as long as I can get a chair I will continue to go! The service was a little slow considering how few tables there were but overall the vibe was really good and I would highly recommend if you are a true sushi lover.

We have enjoyed Mirai Sushi over the past 15 years. However, over the past 2 years, the service at Mirai on Meis Van Der Rohe Way has diminished and their prices have gone through the roof. Now the restaurant charges a non-refundable $20 fee for booking the reservation (which they say will be deducted from the bill but in our case it was not). My wife and I ate there last evening and enjoyed our meal of Chef's selection sashimi, the himachi appetizer, and a soft shell crab roll. We ordered martini cocktails for starters. One of the drinks spilled, so we ordered a third martini and shared the cocktail. When the bill came, we were charged the $17 charge for each cocktail as advertised on the menu and then an additional $15 was charged for "filling the cocktail glass up to the rim". I complained after the explanation and called this policy "horse s...t". The "owner" became outraged and told me to never come back again. She seemed very distraught and stressed out and her reaction was totally out of context to the complaint. In business, the old cliche "the customer is always right" seems to have been forgotten by this establishment. So sad.

Very authentic experience. Would highly recommend the nigiri! We also got the fried rice and loved it.

I live within walking distance and have been wanting to try Mirai. The food was good but expensive and portions are small. Tiny dining room and service is dismissive. Would not go back.

This place is EXQUISITE!!! The sushi is so fresh and tender, it literally has your tastes buds going crazy with all the delicious flavors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're in the Michigan district.

Mirai is fantastic, this is a Goldcoast classic spot, 20+ years in business. I love the low key vibe, quite intimate. It is small Enough that the staff gets to know you well after a few visits.The fish is very fresh and the sushi chef is a pro. The owner is generally working on the front end and provides great customer service. I am a regular and intend to stay one!

What's with all the good reviews? I'm not sure if I'd even consider this place a restaurant. My friend and I should have known better when we were rudely told by the person at the front door that if we were to eat at this restaurant, we would only have strictly one hour to finish our meal. We asked them why and they said it was because there was a big reservation an hour from the time we entered the restaurant. Since there was only two of us, my friend and I, without asking, the person led us to the sushi bar. We saw there was an empty table which we would have preferred to sit at, but the person aggressively told us that we needed to sit at the bar. Since we were hungry and just needed something to eat, we figured it wasn't worth arguing.Therefore, we decided to go ahead and give this place a try despite the one hour time limit. Let me start off by saying this has got to be one of the smallest restaurants I have ever dined in - it felt super cramped and the place did not seem very clean. I would not recommend dining here with a big group (e.g. 5+ people).Prices are absurdly high. I get it - it's Downtown Chicago and this restaurant is in the Magnificent Mile. Also, with current times and inflation, I get it - stuff happens where prices may need to be higher. But this restaurant seems to be taking advantage of their location, scamming customers. How are they scamming? By giving some of the tiniest portions I have ever seen from a sushi restaurant. How is this restaurant able to charge $26 for a small portion of fried rice? While the fried rice itself was delicious I still left feeling hungry. Yikes. Even with a $6 miso soup that didn't seem to help.To make matters funnier, we ended up spending over an hour here because our food took longer than expected to come out. Awesome service if you ask me.Skip this place and look for a better sushi place in Downtown Chicago, that is, if you can find one...
