    Inside and outdoor patio.

    Celebrating my birthday at Mika Sushi today! We had the best experience. Food was incredibly fresh and tasty. Ambience was on point with the music and atmosphere. Service was also really great, quick and great attitude. So happy to find a new place we can look forward to on our trips to Carmel Valley

    Food was amazing. We stumbled soon this place on accident as we were looking for a place to eat in Carmel Valley. The service was amazing and the staff are super welcoming. The sushi chef was so nice and we had a great conversation. Ambiance is really cute and cozy. They had nice artwork and an even the outdoor area was really cute. If you are in Carmel and want sushi, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Easy parking and plenty of seating.

    Combo tempura, Santana roll, and Sweethearts roll.

    I came here on 4/17 and had such a great experience! I ordered the combo tempura, the Sweetheart Roll, and the Santana Roll. Everything was super delicious, but the Sweetheart Roll was definitely my favorite. The staff were all so incredibly sweet and attentive, which made the meal even better. Even though I am from San Jose, I will definitely come by again when I am in town.

    Really cute atmosphere. The service was really great and the food was fresh. I had a bento box and the sashimi - personally the freshest ahi I've had from Monterey, Carmel by the sea area My partner veggie sushi wasn't that great and kinda needs more creativity to it but I'm not vegetarian lol so I'm giving this place 5 stars lol

    Fresh and tasty, best place on the peninsula for sushi and rolls! Excellent service!

    Sake maki and the shooting star roll

    Very nice service, super wholesome people over there. Super cute and nice seating area but parking was a little bit tough to find, probably just a busy day. Food was awesome, they even had organic wasabi and fish taste fresh very nice and excellent flavor. I would come back here again! But it is a little bit pricey! Overall satisfied!

    We love Mika! Everyone is kind, attentive and the food is always a hit. When you eat there you leave feeling like family. My go to roll is the Smokey Robinson. So yummy! I also love their spicy edamame.

The beef ribs and beef and chicken teriyaki came out cold. Makes you wonder if all they do is try to reheat it gross! The appetizers were also bland and full of soy sauce. You're better off going somewhere else to spend your money. The service was subpar. No one acknowledges you when you walk in the door. They make you stand there and wait to eventually get unflavored food and terrible service. This review is written in February 2026. There's better places in the area just go there. At the end after over a $350 bill they refused to give us a plastic bag to go home. I offered to pay for it, but they had an attitude about it. They don't even know how to make spicy edamame. It's just soy sauce and grilled onions. The only waitress that was actually helping people was the Hispanic lady. Everyone else just stands and stares at you like they are a statue. You're better off going to Kokoro in Salinas. At least they give you better service and some flavor.

This place is really family friendly, and there were a lot of people with loud kids on a Saturday night around 6.

They have an interesting variety of sushi rolls, including some vegetarian and vegan selections. I felt like the serving size was pretty large, and I ended up taking some home. All the fish was fresh and high quality. A very enjoyable dinner!

Every piece tasted clean and well-prepared, and the portion size was generous without feeling overdone. The presentation was also nicely done, which added to the overall experience. Definitely something I'd order again. The Tekka Maki was solid and reliable. The tuna was fresh and flavorful, exactly what you'd expect from a classic roll. My only critique is that the roll could have been assembled a bit tighter for a cleaner bite. Service is where things fell short. The timing was off, my dishes came out later than the rest of my party's, and I ended up waiting about 20 minutes before I could start eating. Watching everyone else get their food first definitely made the wait feel longer. Improving plate timing and coordination would make a big difference. That said, the ambiance was great, clean, lively, and clearly a popular spot. Overall, a strong food experience with room for improvement on service.

Another plus, friendly service. Food came out quickly and they were all very respectfully attentive throughout dinner. They do get busy though so reservations might guarantee you a spot in an inside table but honestly the heat lamps outside worked great for us.
