Super friendly staff. Food was consistently good and definitely a step up from Benihana. The ambiance felt upscale and modern. The chef was very entertaining and love setting the table on fire. He was very outgoing. Not only did he put on a great show, the food tasted amazing. The beef tenderloin was prepared to a perfect medium rare while the lobster tail was not overcooked. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. read more

Your tip is based off service. Don't expect a great tip if you didn't provide great service. Very rude front lady to be seated. Rude servers. Didn't greet us. Just asked if we made a decision after tossing a menu on our table. Was it busy? No. We were the third table there. Food tastes like pure butter and ginger.. We ordered fried rice x2 and somehow they got that wrong and showed face when told it's wrong. Sorry I'm paying for my meal..? When it came to pay the bill, we asked if we could do partial pesos (because we're leaving tomorrow) and remainder card and he immediately said "o keep the pesos for my tip". Sir I already set aside tip for you. How a customer tips you is a customers decision. After collecting payment, he stood around glaring at me waiting for me to place his tip. read more

I had low expectations for Asian food in PV so that may have an influence on my review. The decor here was Asian-inspired with large velvet covered seats and glass tables The dishes we had we good enough to satisfy the craving but nothing amazing. The servers here were satisfactory. read more

Coming from Seattle, this was underwhelming and mediocre. I did not order any sushi based on the prior reviews. The restaurant is decorated nicely and bright with cool kimonos on the wall. There's a full bar and a decent beer and wine selection. The vegetable ramen was salty and instead of chopped pieces of bok choy it looks like they use the inside baby pieces that are still yellow and not fully developed. The shrimp bao had over cooked small to medium sized pieces that maybe came from frozen instead of fresh. The bao was made out of was one could consider chewy pizza dough and rolled in cornmeal. Really odd. They could save money by making this part from scratch and freezing the dough in ready made portions. The seaweed salad was good and had a mix of seaweeds and thrown in some mung bean noodles (I'd say) which was weird. The noodle bowl was flavorful with big chunks of chicken breast. Portions were medium sized so if you came very hungry you would want some extra items at the table. For $150, two app, two entrees, and two wines, I feel it's overpriced even for a hotel restaurant given the lack of flavors. I say go into the marina for better quality and value. read more

Ate here twice this trip to PV. First night, teppanyaki dinner. Excellent service and food. Grill preparation was fun. Highly recommend. Second night, was table service. The food was very good. Group ordered a variety of dishes from sushi to other Asian options. But the service was off. Waiter was nervous for some reason. We were not demanding or making complicated orders. So his service was off. Makes it hard to recommend. Beautiful setting in Marriott hotel. read more

This restaurant was located in our hotel and thought it would be an easy place to grab dinner on the last night of our trip. The decor was so pretty and the table seating was super comfortable. Our server Ralph was amazing! He was so attentive and kind throughout our meal. My sister and I shared the spring rolls. They weren't my favorite but for the main I ordered the teppanyaki with shrimp. The shrimp was flavorful and I opted for the fried rice of course. I had a couple pieces of my sister's avocado roll which was tasty. Overall a solid place to have a nice dinner in our hotel! read more

This was my second time dining at Mikado, but the first with my daughter who has severe food allergies (egg, cashew, and pistachio). I was very impressed with the entire experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is a nice blend of relaxed and fun. I like how the restaurant is laid out and no one feels like they're on top of each other. We had a nice meal when we visited a couple years ago--but that was for the regular table service. This time we opted for the Teppanyaki. Ralph was an amazing server. He was a friendly and attentive--he took excellent care of everyone throughout the meal. I particularly appreciated that after we informed them about daughter's allergies he made sure to bring the head chef over to discuss a plan for her meal. Both Ralph and Efrain (our cook at the table) checked in with us every step of the way. The sushi was fresh and tasty. The show was entertaining and the Teppanyaki was delicious. Highly recommend! Will definitely come back again. read more

We had a great time at Mikado. Ralph our host did a fantastic job describing the options. We opted for the teppanyaki. Jorge our chef was very entertaining. Overall a fun dinner and good food! read more

Mikado is an outstanding restaurant. We eat here every year on our anniversary and always have amazing food and service. I especially want to say our server Ralph was excellent and his recommendations made our dinner exceptional. Even the cocktails he suggested were fantastic. I also want to recognize that they made significant remodeling upgrades that have made a nice addition to the ambiance and decor. It was a truly exceptional experience and I highly recommend Mikado. A must go to restaurant when I Puerto Vallarta, located at the Marriott in the Marina district. And if you're lucky you'll get Ralph as your server he will make your night! read more

Such a great experience. Our chef Max was very entertaining. We all got our orders cooked as requested. The atmosphere was quiet and not too many people. But it was a Tuesday. I definitely recommend at least once during your stay at the PV Marriott. read more

So since I was staying at the Marriott Resort and Spa I decided to see what restaurants I was able to make reservations for and what type of food was available and came across Mikado. I was able to make a reservation through the concierge for same evening. I first reserved a regular table then decided to change it to Hibachi an hour later at the actual restaurant. When I showed up at 8PM for the reservation the hostess somehow forgot she just talked to me like 2 hours before and said I had a regular table but then realized she made a mistake and it was supposed to be Hibachi. I ended up getting a different table with other guests which stated at 8:45. The hostess said the cook was running late and would be there soon. The drinks were very decently priced. I had a Cadillac Margarita and had some Victoria beers. The actual Margarita was pretty good. For food I ordered Egg Rolls and a Caterpillar Roll. For dinner I had the Rib-Eye Steak and came with steamed rice. Steak was seasoned pretty good and was pretty tender. I should have added the lobster tail but maybe next time. The show itself was good. The handling skills of the knives and able to engage with the group was amazing. The cook had each one of us try and crack an egg while having it spin on the grill and throwing it up in the air with a spatula. It was pretty much a fail from all of us haha. It was very good vibes and the groups that joined were very nice. Rib Eye was 430 Pesos which came out to about 23 bucks USD. Not bad for some good food and show. read more

We had a great night at this Hibachi grill. Our chef was entertaining, fun and attentive to our request. The food was fresh and cooked to specification. The ambiance of the restaurant was very quiet, light hearted and enjoyable. The only thing missing was our sherbet at the end of the meal. Maybe they were out. Lol! read more

A wonderful restaurant. We were here three years ago and liked it. We went there tonight and enjoyed it. Nice and spacious ambiance. Excellent service. Great food. Reasonable prices. It's located in the Marriott Resort where we are staying, by the beach. Also not too far away from the airport, yet not so near that the noise reaches us. read more

Such a delicious spot! It's in the Marina area of PV, lots of tourists and they highly recommend a reservation. I didn't have one so we just sat at the sushi bar which was totally fine and just as delicious. They have a grill in the back so if you're going for that, you'd definitely need a reservation. Food was delicious and the service was great. Everyone was really nice. read more

Our experience at Mikado was great that we had to go back the same week. Antonio took the time to go above and beyond. Everything we ordered was great but the Tempura and Teppanyaki were by far our favorites. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the Marina in PV read more

Food: 3/10 Service: 4/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 My wife and I walked into a venue that looked pretty interesting, but obviously had grease suspended in the air throughout. The food wasn't exactly authentic Japanese, the sushi menu didn't mention any use of the locally available seafood, and while some of the plates were visually attractive, the execution in cooking and development of flavors left a lot to be desired. It's definitely convenient if you're staying at the Marriott and just MUST have sushi, but there are so many better quality places in Puerto Vallarta for a much better value. read more

Absolutely the worst dining experience ever, as far as ambiance goes. We were seated at a table next to a good 8-10 small children, that just screamed & the ran around & three things!! The 4 mothers in attendance did nothing but have their cocktails! When we complained to the management, they also did nothing!!!! We had just got off a plane at our resort, & really wanted a beautiful dinner in a nice restaurant. We actually had to talk to the mothers of these unruly children, & the had zero empathy with everyone at our table!! Yay! Here is our future!! We were offered a free drink after all of this NEVER AGAIN... read more

Mikado was so good!! We sat down at a table and the sashimi, veggie teppanyaki, and the crunch roll was so good!! The crunch roll was the best we have had ever. Christian the waiter was the best and joked with us and was a nice relaxing time. Would 10/10 recommend. read more

Teppan is their saving grace. Do NOT order the sushi - this is just slightly above gas station grade quality.

Great food, wonderful service by Antonio. Only complaint was instead of catching shrimp, they threw scrambled eggs. You can't get proper trajectory with an egg and it wasn't the consumer experience I expected. Other than that, we loved it and will be back soon! read more

Christian the best waiter!!!!!! GET THE CRUNCHY ROLL ordered it 3 times!!!! Christian is an amazing waiter!!!

Sat in the table area in front as you walk in. Reservation at 6:30. Promptly seated. Two of us able to order and finish dinner including appetizers in just over an hour. Had the raspberry and lychee sake cold. Delicious. Yakitori and vegetables tempura was great. They have ponzu and regular soy as well as ginger and peanut sauce. My husband had the teppanyaki which he said was good. He liked the beef fried rice the best. I had the Yaki udon. Too much food, but was tasty. Overall nice ambience though not the best Japanese I've ever had. read more

This was the worst sushi I've ever had in my life. We are sushi people have been eating it for probably 20 years now. I wouldn't normally choose sushi in Mexico but I thought this is the Marriott so they probably have a good standard. We ordered nigiri and sashimi and it was almost inedible. The tuna was so dry. All the fish seemed very very old except for the salmon was medium grade quality and freshness. I gave it 2 stars because The drinks were decent. I have not tried to Teppanyaki which would've probably been better. Rolls might've been better too if they were fried and drenched and sauce so you couldn't taste the bad quality of the fish. We walked out with $100 bill and then went to A little hole in the wall seafood place and got some of the freshest tuna poke for a fraction of the price. read more

The service from Edgar was excellent. The dishes he recommended was superb. We had the crunchy roll and shrimp teppanyaki. Both were cooked to perfection. The soy sauce was flavored with serano peppers which flavored the sushi wonderfully. This was our 3 rd time enjoying and this place never takes a back seat to any other restaurant ..... Audrey, the manager, is always there to make sure our meal never disappoints..... enjoy! read more

Food is 2.5 stars, meaning I would go somewhere else if other places are open. Services and ambiance are 4 stars. I tried this restaurant on my first Me trip to Puerto Vallarta and was staying at Marriott (which is far from tourist town and with its good-and-bad). Food is not what I would call good Japanese food. After burning 750 calories in the gym and .2 lb fat lighter, I figured I need to replenish my protein. The lady at front said that they could cook Pad Thai vegetarian with egg(s) on the top, I went for it. I also ordered veggie tempura (rationale is that I needed veggies). The tempera was oily and chunky. Tempura didn't have an egg on top, so I insisted and got a fried egg on the side (hence 4 star service). I should have had Mexicano bean and rice. read more

I hate when I have to leave a bad review , but we are not done with dinner and I HAVE to give it 1 star ! And the 1 star for the Diet Pepsi and warm staff ! The table stinks sour ! Like enough to gag ... the food was way way way less than average ! Actually left the food on the table and ordered the coffee ! Maybe my expectations were a bit higher ? read more

Would definitely recommend! The food was great! The spicy edamame was incredible! Spring rolls, fried rice, and gyoza were also great! Sushi was incredibly fresh and the wait staff was very personable and attentive. If you are staying at the Marriott, or in the area, definitely worth it! Very good price point also! read more

So I was a little apprehensive about going to a Japanese restaurant in Mexico. Let me say first of all this restaurant is well themed inside and out. The exterior is beautiful with wood framing and ponds with turtles. The place just looks Japanese. It's attached to the Casa Magna Marriott where we were staying. We arrived right at opening time. We were asked if we had a reservation, I said no. She was a little apprehensive about seating us, but said she had a shared table at the habachi grill, exactly what we wanted anyway. We were seated next to another family and the fun started. Typical hibachi magic with the knife and tong play, fire with grease tricks etc. The chefs and waiter were funny and were attentive to your needs. I was super impressed with the quality of food. The fried rice was flavorful, the steamed rice was spot on. I had the ribeye which was more than I expected for flavor and done to my liking. They had a ginger sauce for dipping your meats. This was a hit for me. The shrimp was probably the best though. It tasted very fresh and was grilled perfectly. Order Sapporo beers. It goes so well with your meal. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. They do have special discounts here. Be sure to ask. It's worth it. read more

Amazing amazing amazing! I highly recommend the dynamite roll, edamame... ask for the chili sauce. Antonio was the best waiter, if you are blessed with his presence he is the most attentive, patient, wonderful person you could meet. We will be back! read more
