Mye 2 Japanese opens tomorrow in north Oakville Twenty six years ago a little bit of Japan opened up in the heart of Oakville. It was then that executive chef Motoaki Aoki opened the town's first Japanese restaurant, Mye Japanese, at the invitation of then Oakville Mayor Harry Barrett. Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Aoki brought with him his passion for both sophisticated and homegrown flavours to the restaurant, centrally located at the corner of Church and Navy Streets. Today Mye is renowned for serving the freshest and most appetizing Japanese cuisine to be found across Canada. Mye is proud to have received an excellent review from Open Table of 4.8/5 on overall dining experience with 5/5 for food. Aoki has enjoyed watching Mye Japanese succeed and flourish, enabling him to give back to the community through charitable and fundraising events. In the last two years, Aoki has raised a total of $125,000 for the new Oakville Hospital. Mye's success is greatly attributed to the growth of the Oakville community, which has been the driving force for the restaurant's continuing support of the new hospital's development. After more than two decades in business, Aoki has opened his second location, Mye 2 Japanese Restaurant in Oakville. The menu at Mye 2 mirrors many of the same dishes as Mye downtown yet with several novel items, most of which the executive chef spent years perfecting for his family and friends. Aoki plans on keeping the menu at Mye 2 dynamic and fresh while maintaining the same quality and care as Mye downtown. Mye 2's décor is open and airy, yet the booths along the side offer a more intimate experience. Mye Japanese is located at 143 Church St. (905-849-8989) and Mye 2 Japanese at 360 Dundas St. E. (in the Longo's Plaza 905-2577747). JAPANESE RESTAURANT NOW OPEN! Enjoy Chef Mo Aoki's exciting new dishes! MUST TRY!
