There's usually only 1-2 serving the whole restaurant and they still remain polite and kind no matter how crazy busy it gets. Food is always made fresh and seasoned just perfectly. Of course we usually come for the infamous ramen, but don't skip out on their appetizers!! Great variety and reasonable prices. But now let me tell you about their sushi rolls! AMAZ-ING!!! Very generous sizes and always delicious. I'm a huge fan of their Mexican Rolls. I've ordered at other sushi places the same roll and Mikoto beats all of them, hands down!! You win the trophy, congrats!

Use fake crab in all the rolls. I feel like they are frequently out of ingredients or alcoholic beverages that are offered on the menu. Within the last year that happens every other time we come here. There is not really a better spot in Tyler for sushi, so we come here every 2-3 months.

I usually order a Poke Bowl and the sauces they offer are variable. As for the service, I wouldn't say that they are short-staffed, but there is only one or two of them, unless the family members themselves are the staff. Still provides me with consistent service though. Last but not least, I don't know if it's related to the weekend or not, but I usually come by the afternoon and it's still relatively empty. I enjoy it that way honestly. The place is clean and filled the ambience with some Chinese (I think) background music. Overall rating, recommended to try. Btw, their bento set is the bomb. I came in feeling extremely hungry and left with a full stomach :D

I personally felt the yakitori and kalbi felt a little out of place in a ramen (though both were yummy) I started this review the 1st time I ate here and since then I've been back twice more. My go-to is the Naruto ramen, and I like to pay extra for the black garlic oil. I would very much come back again for more. My wife loves the charsiu with the Ichiban noodles, as they're very flavorful; I recommend that for those that don't want anything soup-based.

Grandmother got the orange chicken and we all tried her fried rice and we all wished we had gotten a side of rice too! Husband got the Ichiban ramen and enjoyed all the meat and toppings. Although he tried MY black garlic ramen and said that broth was much better! Very cute anime decor inside, wasnt a huge fan of the music but Im not a top 20 kind of person. Highly recommend this yummy food to everyone!

He recently just took over the restaurant not too long ago and you can tell with him in charge, there is a huge change in the freshness of the fish. It is so fresh and absolutely delicious. The food was plentiful and plated nicely. The staff was nice, but the manager was just amazing all around. Really knows how to cater to the guests and always willing to help and comply with requests. The food came in a timely manner, though two of my orders were forgotten, a small reminder, and it came out quickly thereafter. The Texas Ranger is amazing if you like spicy salmon. I love all things with spicy salmon. The spicy salmon roll was so simple, but just so fresh and I enjoyed every bite! The vegetable egg rolls were really good, as well. Definitely was not disappointed with my experience here. Ended up leaving full and happy!

I've been here a couple of times now, and the food has always been wonderful! The front of house…read morestaff are absolutely chef's kiss, and the atmosphere is usually great once you get past the initial interaction with the hostesses. Unfortunately, the hostesses have consistently been very off-putting. There's rarely an actual greeting, and they often come across as though they wish you hadn't shown up at all. Instead of a friendly "Hi! How many?" or "Right this way!" it's usually just a blank stare and, occasionally, a slight eye roll. It's honestly very odd and can be a bit uncomfortable. That said, the food and the rest of the staff have always been great, which is why I continue to come back. I just wish the initial welcome was a little warmer and more inviting!

While the food and hibachi chef were amazing, the service from the wait staff was not so great. We would routinely get the wrong drink orders or often be left waiting for long gaps of time. They did seem flustered on the day my friend and I went; but reading other reviews tells me this is a trend. I'd probably try another spot for hibachi based on the service alone before I came back. The food is worth the wait to be fair.
