Baked Mussels (5/5): can't go wrong with these! Double Albacore Roll (5/5): I was surprised how fresh the roll was and wasn't too heavy, their rolls here are definitely premium. Nigiri (5/5): we ordered 7 different kinds of nigiri and they were all thick cuts of high quality fish. Overall I highly recommend Mikomi Sushi if you're craving sushi in the Santa Monica area. All the employees were so friendly and provided excellent customer service. They also have a fun robot that brings some of your dishes out to you. The ambiance was nice and there's a $1 public parking building right behind the building.

Every thing came out as it was made and we could tell they weren't sitting around. Ambience is a bit dark and on the more intimate side but can hold pretty large groups. Would definitely recommend to a friend and come back. Yuzu Ramen was my favorite next to the sushi tacos and my boyfriend loved the pork belly taco that literally melted in our mouths.

They have outdoor patio and indoor seating. Spacious seating. We came on a weekday lunch hour, so the restaurant is not too busy. Public parking at their back, $1 for the first 90 minutes. Very reasonable in the neighborhood.

Also tried the vegetable ramen, which was decent but the soup had a strong meaty smell, it actually tasted better the next morning heated up. If the soup gets a revamp this also has potential. The broccoli had some dark stems- would prefer this to be cut off if not cleaned better. |[ m o r e n o t e s ]| Ordered it for takeout and it was quick and efficient, also like that they have outdoor seating. Overall, has potential but needs some improvement imo. May give it another shot in the future if these things change.

Everything's made fresh to order but the waiting time was relatively decent. They did serve plenty of choices including for vegetarian options. We got their Spicy Salmon and Sunny Blue Curry.

Our waiter was within eyesight, looked directly over at our table, saw what happened, and then simply turned back around. He never came over to ask if we needed help, offer a towel, or make any effort to assist us. For me, that moment confirmed the feeling we had already gotten since walking through the door: our presence was not welcomed. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching people who arrived well after us receive their food before we did, while we continued to wait. Meanwhile, the staring continued.
