It was after a long time that I went there again and I'm happy that I went there! They are one of the best sushi places in Edmonton. They always have high quality food and very creative choices that is hard to find somewhere else. The place is very nice and cozy and usually have different options for sitting. The decoration adds to the coziness. Staff have been always polite, friendly and helpful. Parking is not an issue but reservations are recommended especially for busy days and holidays. The place is popular and may add to your wait time. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Haven't been to that sushi place in awhile. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Prompt service and food came spaced out perfect. Food was great and tasted fresh! read more

Came here for Xmas lunch with team from work. We ordered a bunch of rolls and a few other things. All super good and the food came fast. The selection was a bit limited compared to a few other places with lots. But they still have lots to pick from. A really good lunch. read more

Legacy Post from 2019 Mikado in South Edmonton Common has a nice ambience and service. The food is also very high quality, especially considering that it's in Edmonton. I'd give them 8.5/10. The dish that stood out the most after years is still their black cod. read more

This is my second time dining in at Mikado, it's a Japanese and western fusion restaurant. But I still enjoyed the food, the rolls tasted great and it definitely has nice presentation hence making it a pleasant dining experience for me and my friends. The waitress was friendly and came by to check on us. The restaurant has good lighting, I can still see my food while not too bright. The environment is clean and the decoration is classy. read more

What a nice hidden treat. The outside of the building doesn't look so glamorous but when you walk in, you feel some elegance and tradition. The staff has always been welcoming and service here has always been above average. The quality is great too. Ask if there are any specials for the day, they often get items from Japan which make the rare tasting just that much more interesting. The private room is a great way to enjoy some privacy at no extra charge. read more

The quality is always consistent. Very good quality sashimi. Service is phenomenal as well. I feel like they go above and beyond for customers and it's very much appreciated. If you're what rolls to order I love the sunset, and rose roll! read more

This restaurant is by far the closest you could get to japan here in Edmonton. They have a bar where you could see your food being prepared, it would've been better if the chef will just pass the food to you, but instead the food is still served by the servers. read more

Mikado - Southside - Unagi - Japanese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Pretty good quality sushi, not the best but not the worst. Pricing is a bit more expensive but that's to be expected for a place like this. We got take out and our order was packed well and accurate. Nothing to complain about here. They are also fairly up to date with provincial regulations if that is something you are concerned about. Would come back. read more

Came here on a Tuesday for dinner. I like that they take online reservations. I was at the mall near the Edmonton airport and I booked a table for 20 minutes later. When I arrived there was some confusion on the reservation but it was all fixed. We had not been to this location before. It was nicely lit and decorated and not too loud. We ordered a spinach salad, regular green salad, tempura udon, camrose roll, and Coast to Coast boat. The spinach salad was a little small but the green salad was huge - albeit the dressing was a little milder than most Japanese places we've been to. Udon was for my son and he happily slurped it up. I tasted a bit of the broth - not much flavour; a little bit better than hot water. Plus only thing in it was green onion - no other veggies. So a little sparse than other places we've been to. That being said my son ate it so fast so obviously he liked it so that's all that counts. Camrose Roll I didn't like. I thought it would be spicier with the spicy tuna. Coast to Coast. Came on a realistic looking boat complete with fisherman's netting. The kids thought that was cool. Good assortment of sushi and sashimi and all tasting very fresh. Service was great. Food was great (even though I did not like the roll). Waitress and other staff even wished us a Happy Anniversary which was a nice touch. I had put that note in our online reservation. A little on the expensive side but if you're in the mood for great sushi/sashimi this is the place to go. Will definitely be back. read more

My go to place to take my parents and we absolutely love it. It's more of a casual ambiance and we always order the bento boxes and their miso soups as it's very rich and affordable. They also have tasty sushi and aswell as appetizers like the chicken kara-age which was a very crispy light battered chicken. Will recommend! read more

For a long time, I loved Japanese food, but never had the chance to indulge until fast food chains such as Tokyo Express and Edo made it easier for me to enjoy. My close Japanese friend educated me that those described are the equivalent of McDonalds of their cuisine. Then came my affair with Japanese village, a quantum leap from Edo, and far more engaging than Tokyo Express. I stumbled on this delight by circumstances of need, where I was running out time to find a suitable venue for Mother's Day. When the opportunity came up to make reservations, I jumped on the opportunity inviting my folks and brother. Upon arrival, we were given a lovely private room that was in the Japanese style equipped with the translucent sliding doors to give us privacy but so to give us some semblance of ambience. My brother and I had a Sapporo beer with some spring rolls to get us started, but my wife stole my selection of Entree to order the Beef Yakiniku, beautifully cut beef slices on a bed of rice and vegatables. Forbidden to make the same selection, I was stifled into making a selection from the Bento options and chose the Beef Robata Bento. It was a home run!!! Teriyaki Salmon, Beef Slices, Fireball Shrimp/Chicken on skewers with sesame sauce and rice on the side(order more rice on the side.). Everything was succulent and mouthwatering. Only critique was that the miso soup was pedestrian, and the raw Edame peas was flavourless, plastic in its texture, and difficult to eat to which I thought it was a display food. The service was excellent considering that she had to put up with needy customers and their toddler LOL. Great mother day event!!!! read more

Summary: average to good western style Japanese food, bad amateur service, cold loud environment. Probably best to come for lunch. Don't bring a large group in, the gratuity is gratuitous given they can't serve their way out of a bento box. After talking our meat-and-potatoes caucasian relatives from going to Sumo Sumo (ugh), they settled on the Mikado. Food is OK, a few good grilled items (try the BBQ squid and the Norwegian mackerel), some Japanesey items (sashimi, nigiri, gunkan) but otherwise quite western with lots of sauce and tempura. I'm astonished at the quantity of sauce served with the dishes, why so much? The roll selection has decreased from my last visit, seems smaller and less interesting than an equivalent restaurant like Kyoto. The specials can be fun, had the yomogi daifuku, nice treat for $5 though the mochi outside tasted like it had been frozen, had a mild yomogi flavour. As other have noted, the bento boxes have become below average, they used to be quite good. Also disappointing is the size of the sashimi and the nigiri, I couldn't believe how small the fish servings were, especially at $3.50 a pop for nigiri. Smallest unagi I've ever seen. Dragon eyes were good, better be for a "specialty" item and $13 for 6 pieces. Service was woeful this last time, especially given the 15% gratuity for groups of 8 or more. Our group even had an early booking, 5 p.m., it wasn't busy yet and the server still screwed up the order so many times. Slow service, items forgotten, and at least half the dishes delivered to the wrong person. Our mackerel took over an hour to deliver to the table, wtf. My spouse wanted to give a 1 star review based on the service alone, he was hangry and ready to bail. Our server was like a deer in the headlights. We would have ordered more food if the service wasn't so slow. Then we got two bills for three sets of people, and even these were screwed up (how we got billed for the kids' items when they sat at the opposite end of the table...). We just ended up exchanging cash later instead of trying to deal with the clueless server. Used to love the Mikado but man, if you're going out with peeps who don't need western-style food to eat at a Japanese restaurant, go elsewhere. I'll only come here for lunch on the off chance that I want to torture myself shopping at South Edmonton Common. Cuz really, if you don't live in the deep southside, why would you come here? read more

Mikado - Southside - LOLOL - Japanese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Sigh ... another restaurant that is all appearance and no substance. Mikado is like the "hot guy at the party" of Japanese restaurants in Edmonton -- it looks beautiful and enticing on the outside, but then I discover there's not much underneath the surface. Seriously though, the restaurant is impeccably designed and decorated, with its sleek black furniture and soft white lamps. It's got a very modern Zen feel. They score big points for looks, but the food is another story. Dishes are presented exquisitely; in fact, I've never seen sushi presented to me so nicely. But the quality of the food is definitely a let-down after they build you up with the aesthetics. It's all bland; there's no real flavour at all, and it doesn't seem that fresh. After taunting me with its incredibly good looks all throughout dinner -- and making me argue with myself whether the quality of the food really does matter -- Mikado sticks me with the bill, and of course, it's ridiculously high. I vow to never get sucked in by a restaurant like this one again, but of course, I will. Another one bites the dust. read more

Mikado - Southside - From the Mikado Restaurant website - Japanese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I came here for lunch on Friday (today) with my sister at 11:45am. We were one of the first customers to be there. Our server was great, very friendly and helpful. She noted to us that the Uni (my favorite), red tuna, and a few other fish is fresh today. First thing we ordered were 4 Uni's then full order of red tuna and a big green salad each. We had tea for a beverage because I have to get back to work later, otherwise I would have gotten Hana Sake. ..Yum. .. Our food came and omg wow... It's true when they say you eat with your eyes first. The beautiful bright red of the Tuna Sashimi and the fresh look of the Uni! Our Salads looked amazing as well. The Red Tuna was Crisp and had a fresh Bite, the Uni was buttery and flavourful. The Uni was sooo good we ordered another 4 pieces. We wanted to try the difference between the regular Tuna Sashimi and the Red Tuna so we ordered a full order of the regular Tuna. There is a big difference. The Red Tuna is by far greater than the average Tuna. The Regular Tuna is creamier but lacks that extra omphf of flavor. I am extremely impressed with the service and quality of food here today! I live close to this Mikado location so I will be back definitely! read more

What's a girl supposed to do when she's starving at around 2 PM after a very hard afternoon of shopping at South Edmonton Common? The obvious choice for me was Mikado, but I don't know if it will be so obvious in future. Even at 2 PM, the place had a "fifteen minute" wait for our table of three. The problem wasn't that Mikado was full, they were just short staffed and couldn't seat anyone else. Fifteen minute was actually closer to thirty, but eventually we grabbed a table. It took another ten minutes for a waiter to come over, but once he did he was quite attentive. Michael J, Rory T and I were all starving so we gave him our orders immediately and the food came out pretty quickly. I really like the menu here, actually. An awesome selection of bentos, plates and rolls. Separate lunch menu means smaller plates, which means smaller pricetag. I dig. My meat-a-licious bento was quite tasty, although three small pieces of chicken left me unimpressed. Still, the beef was a saucy highlight and the tempura was a crunch delight. Usually this is the part where I would say, "Don't come during peak hours!" But I'm not sure that would even help. If you're looking to chow down locally, check it out. If you'd rather get a table right away, skip it. read more

Mikado - Southside - Bento A5 - Japanese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

One of my favorite restaurants in the southside sushi battle has succumbed to suckyness. What was once , one of the best restaurants for Japanese in the city has just mired itself itself into a swamp of mediocrity. I booked a reservation here for my birthday and we got it no problem. Hurray! For special events restaurants that don't RSVP are automatically disqualified as choices. The food was actually quite good, small portions, but good. One of my guests actually said "I ordered the large sashimi ?" and the response... "that is the LARGE sashimi" eek. I know if I wanted quantity over quality I could go to one of the all you can eat places. The problem with Mikado is that the quality of the wait staff doesn't match the quality of the food. During dinner, our plates over 2 hrs were only cleared once. At a certain point we couldn't see over the plates to the other side of the table. Not kidding. Stacking used sushi plates all over the boat didn't make the plates any cleaner. When the final bill came, the waitress made a face when we explained we were going to split the main bill and to have any extras as side bills (there were a few of my guests that ordered extras and favorites) Then she didn't allow them to pay a portion of the main bill and their side bills at the same time. Uggggggg.. Redeeming point though: One of my friends tried to pay cash, then changed his mind and decided to pay credit. He left the cash on the table by accident. They actually called me and let me know, so he could go back and get his cash! I wish that Mikado had matched the quality of their food with their service, but unfortunately I can't say they did. PROS Great Sushi! Lots of free parking Cons Overpriced, Small portions Bad service You can't say Mikado is a bad restaurant which doesn't care, but you can lament the fact that it used to be much much better. Skip this legacy restaurant and try somewhere new. read more

Mikado - Southside - Mikado dirty table - Japanese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

We had perhaps the most excellent service here out of any Mikado Restaurant location I've yet visited when I came here for the first time this month. The food was delicious, well presented, and as we sat at the sushi bar, we had lots to watch and observe. Very professional and I was happy to hear the sushi chefs speaking Japanese to each other. Service was slow but that was in part due to just how busy the location was on the Friday night when we visited. I really liked the variety available in the menu, and my soup was great! I had been craving udon and it was wonderful to get precisely what I wanted. read more

This place has not changed. It is the exact same. Imagine walking into an episode of Men in Black and Will Smith greeting you at the front door of this establishment and then pulled out his pen and a huge flash occurred... both when you were entering and when you were exiting. This place has that effect on you. I have known about Mikado for at least 10 years and their prices have tested the times of inflation... so has their bento boxes. I usually order the Bento Box A-2 and it comes with the Beef Yakiniku and the Salmon Teriyaki... Okay.. this is where the Men in Black shit is happening... This Salmon Teriyaki is soo hella dry but not just this one occurrence.. everytime for the past 10 years . It's been exactly the same dryness and tasteless... Im not applauding the food by any means, but fuck. Congrats Mikado on providing consistency. On this trip i tried to take out the Salmon Teriyaki and replace it for sashimi or sushi (i was willing to pay) but the server declined my request... Which brings me back to my originally conspiracy theory of the entire "Men in Black" montage... they must have a shit load of Bento A-2's hidden in the back and then they microwave it or some bullshit. Anyways, just get the Beef Yakiniku. That's stirfry with Keg Steak Sauce poured all over it. Pretty delicious. Also, for anyone reading this and commenting "Why didn't you tell management" or "Why didn't you tell your server" Fuck you! I tried to.. but they never asked me or were never present. And then when I went to pay my bill.. those Men-In-Black statues never asked "How was you're meal today?" because they would know that my reply would be..."The Salmon Teriyaki was dry as freshly paved City of Edmonton asphalt" --- and then a huge flash of light would occur and I would be in my car driving home not knowingly knowing what i ate. 3/5 of consistently being terrible. read more

I've been tow Mikado twice. Once with a group and once just my husband and I. The group rooms are fun - tables are low but the floor underneath the table was full of crumbs and food (my OCD was buzzing). Food was relatively good. Easy to share. Prices are comparable to other Japanese restaurants. I had the teriyaki chicken both times and it was delicious. read more

The food was delicious but the service was a bit disappointing. We had a 7:30pm reservation and we were seated at 7:40pm after waiting standing in an overcrowded front entrance where servers waiters and other waiting guests kept bumping on us. At 8:10 pm we were still waiting for a server to come to our table to take our orders so I called one of the waiters and asked if it was going to take much longer. She answered that someone will at our table right away. At 8:15pm they seated a couple at the table next to us and within 5 minutes a server was at their table to take their order. At 8:20 I finally got up to talk to the guy at the front reminding him that we had waited almost an hour and a server has not been assigned to our table. Our server finally showed up at 8:30 PM. She apologized stating that she was not told that we had been seated. They gave us a free ice cream with the apology. This situation was very frustrating and embarrassing. The worst is that we were late going home because of the delay and we had to pay the babysitter for an extra hour. read more

I went there with my husband for a quick appy. We walked in, wasn't too busy at all. We asked if we could sit at the bar, as there were three people sitting there. But they told us we couldn't sit there and had to wait for a booth to be "cleaned". As this is a pricier sushi joint, I find it interesting they clearly used older seafood in their rolls and covered the fishy smell with kochujang sauce. Their ginger was dried out and wasabi was developing an oxidized rind. The chop chop roll was decent until we got to the middle of the roll. My husband said it tasted extremely fishy even after it was doused with soy sauce. The spicy tuna was basically left over pieces of tuna mixed with a Korean spicy sauce and rolled up. We paid and left. Later that night my stomach didn't feel too good, didn't think anything about it. Next morning, my husband told me he had the runs. Like, emergency, stop what you're doing, run to the bathroom squirts. We won't be back. read more

I was here on a weekend with my family to celebrate my mom's birthday. We had a party of 7 adults, 1 child under 10, 1 child under 3 and 3 babies. Upon the restaurant confirming my resos the day before, they asked if I was alright with the automatic 18% gratuity for parties greater than 8. I did ask if I had a choice and the person on the phone said "I guess not". I also mentioned that we only had 7 adults and the kids really shouldn't count as they are not really eating at all. I spoke to our waitress for the evening as well and she told me it was restaurant policy even though I explained to her that the children were not eating. She did not offer to let me speak to the manager with my concerns and I let it go as we were there for my mom's birthday and I did not want to make a fuss. The menu has gone up in price and the portions were small and unsatisfying to say the least. Not coming back that is for sure! read more

Mikado Southside offer a fancy Japanese experience. When I say Fancy it is pretty expensive compared to before. Bento boxes for lunch is Min. $15.50. with no sushi. I ordered their A-1 (Sushi bento) for $16.50. Wish they gave some Miso soup with the bento. Overall, not bad but a bit expensive. read more

Decided on something "different" for a beer and bite with a Buddy a while back. I must say...we made a good choice. Clean. Friendly. Delicious. Reasonably priced. Hadn't thought about Mikado for years, but it is certainly back "on my radar" now. I will certainly be back to this, or another location read more

I've actually never dined in here, but I have ordered take out directly from the restaurant about a dozen times, and most recently delivery using Skip the Dishes. I am by no means a sushi aficionado, but I do love maki rolls. Specifically I enjoy ones with crab, and Mikado uses REAL crab. This should be an expectation, but sadly many sushi joints in YEG use the imitation garbage. Some rolls are $20-ish dollars but there are plenty around $10. The staff who take my order and greet me are always very friendly, but they are very slow. Now that they are on Skip, that won't be a problem. read more

I've been a fan of Mikado for years; this location in particular. It's nice to not have to drive 30 minutes just to get some decent food. I should mention that I don't think of this as Japanese food. It's just food. Because I'm Japanese, understand?:b Menu has a decent selection, food is always tasty, and best of all, cute waitresses. Can't go wrong with cute waitresses. read more

I, unfortunately, have to give this restaurant a 1 star. I came here for the first time with a group of 6 during peak hours. It was crazy busy but my friends had arrived 30 minutes early to secure a table. The items on the menu looked and sounded great! We ordered and our appetizers came out quite quickly. Everything was delicious and I even recall saying "this place is amazing!". Things took a huuuge turn with our meals. Our rolls came out all at the same time. I had eaten a few from my plate when my friend across from me made a huge crunch noise. He spit out pieces of glass from his maki. We were shocked! It surprisingly didn't cut his mouth open, but he had bit into it pretty hard with his teeth. We told the waiter and he looked somewhat alarmed and said he'd be right back after he spoke with the manager. I stopped eating entirely. My sushi came out the same time with his and I didn't trust that my food was glass free. After about 15 minutes our waiter came back and apologized and said he would take that dish off of my friend's bill. My friend politely explained that he did not feel like he should be paying for any of his meal, after having such a health hazard come from their kitchen. The waiter went and got the manager. She apologized and offered his entire meal for free. We asked the waiter for our bills immediately, as no one was interested in finishing their meal. He said he was off to get it. At least 20 minutes went by without seeing our waiter again. I had to wave down a different waiter and let him know we were still waiting for our bill. He went and found our waiter who then asked if we wanted our bills separate. So that entire time, he had not gone to fetch our bill. I was astonished to have such a horrible thing happen at our dinner, and for the waiter and manager not to at least put some effort into getting us out of there quickly. I was actually really surprised that any of us had to pay our bills at all. We had all lost our appetites and no one finished their meal. Overall, I spent quite a bit of money on a meal I couldn't eat, with awful service. I can't imagine going back without fearing what is going to be in my food. -Ashley M. read more

I don't know why we haven't come here before. We came here yesterday for dinner and I LOVED it. I wanted to order everything off the menu because everything looked so good. We ordered this boat that had an array of nigiri, sushi and sashimi on it. It was so beautiful and I nearly cried. I really love the Brad Rolls and I was able to get my fill of salmon sashimi that I was craving all weekend. My first experience here has been good. I will continue to come as long as the service and food remains consistently good. So far, this is my third favorite place for Japanese food. read more

I was really excited to eat here at Mikado after hearing it was supposed to be the best sushi place in Edmonton. The atmosphere was really impressive, very clean and modern and the staff was really friendly and super efficient. The food, on the other hand, was really disappointing. I ordered a bunch of different things off the menu, starting with miso soup. Mikado's miso soup is some of the best I've ever had, hands down. It was really tasty and salty, just the way I love it. On the other hand, their gyoza was a little more doughy than I expected. It looked like they had mostly been boiled and barely been fried. They were good, but they could have been a lot better. I also ordered a california maki. I was really appalled by the price of it but realized why they charged so much when it came out; there were eight pieces and each one was massive. It was probably one of the worst california rolls I've ever eaten. The roll itself was loosely held together and the pieces of avacado inside of it were so large that it made for a really mushy texture. Mushy and super big pieces don't make for a winning combination at all. My boyfriend, on the other hand, ordered yakiniku and that was probably the best beef dish I had ever eaten. So if I ever go back, I now know that I'm going to avoid the sushi and just go for their entrees instead. I also can't help but wonder if this Mikado being the second location has anything to do with the quality of the food. It seems like the original location gets way better reviews, so I might have to go there and try it. Of course, that's if I can stomach their ridiculously high prices first. :P Over all, I felt like I was paying far too much for pretty average food. If their prices were cheaper, I'd definitely give it a higher rating. read more

No Sushi for you! I used to really like Mikado but over the years there is an increasing shabbiness and a weird version of customer service. My partner is mad for the Dragon eyes and the Kamikaze cocktail but the price no longer guarantees an enjoyable experience. Last week we decided to drop by (Southside) for a few apps and once we entered, we waited by the front desk... and waited. We started wondering if they changed their hours or some other reason for the wait. In the whole visible area there was only 1 table with 2 customers. We thought the sushi chefs would possibly go get someone. It was so long with no one acknowledging us that it became very funny. We started laughing about this basically empty restaurant and no one helps you and we are standing there waiting to give them our money. We're obviously nuts. We laughed all the way back into our car and to another eatery. read more

Can I blame them for me ordering the wrong thing? Well I'll compromise and blame them for having a lunch bento box that didn't have any type of roll and for my stupidity of ordering that one. There was nothing to rave about or cry about. I guess we did get a seat right away even though it was 12:30 noon on a Friday in South Common. Otherwise, 3 stars pretty much sums it up. I usually judge a sushi restaurant by the sashimi but since I didn't have that, much less a roll, it would be unfair to rate Mikado higher or lower based on some meat on rice and tempura. Remind me never to order a bento box again. read more

Mikaido on the south side is convenient enough for a quick sushi if you are ever in South Common. Its interior decor is quite impressive striking chords of Japanese flavor from the dark wooden beams and sliding paper doors to the soft yellow lights that give the zen like feel. What I really enjoy about Mikaido is their ability to accomodate anything from social gathering dinner parties to more intimate privacy settings. Their private rooms are quite large and aren't as cramped as places such as Kyoto. Service was reasonably responsive, no complaints here. In terms of food selection and overall satisfaction, I must say that they don't quite stand out from the rest of the pack. I feel that most of the sushi restaurants with the exception of the very very few often push the same quality and taste. That's not to say that it's awful by any means but I would gladly choose this as my primary sushi favorite IF there was something to return for. In its defense however, I would like to point out that their Dragon Eyes are actually quite exceptional and is my favorite dish out of their menu. read more

Used to love this place. The biggest disappointment is the service. Three Sundays in a row. We waited for 30 mins to be seated - the guy in the counter just didn't say anything (keeps on looking at the screen and leaves, no greetings, no smile, oblivious) We saw lots of empty tables and asked another staff why, and she said all servers are very busy. We left with $62 bill (plus 18%) of two bentos and one order of sushi rolls - definitely, Not coming back. read more

Good service! Hot hand towels when you arrive! The food is reasonably priced and from what I can't tell it's pretty fresh! It took a long time for someone to acknowledge me at the front door while I was waiting to be seated. That's my only complaint. read more

Favourite sushi spot in south Edmonton, never disappoints! Quality sushi.

Meh. I've been searching for good sushi in Edmonton since I moved here from Ontario 3 years ago. I adore sushi. I had concluded there is no good sushi in Edmonton. I was invited to a birthday dinner at Mikado and was reassured that this was going to be the sushi I'd been missing in Edmonton, this was it! WROOOOOONG. It was a let down just as all the others have been. Perhaps even more so because I had genuine hope for Mikado. BRUTAL service. The staff were beyond confused and incompetent. We tried to make it as easy as possible with a group; one order, we all tuck in, we all split the bill equally. Easy enough? Apparently not at Mikado. It was a cluster the whole time. They didn't bus the table which was perhaps my biggest gripe. The table was stacked with empty dishes during the entire meal. Totally unacceptable. Having a few late comers trying to order separate proved to be rocket science for the servers. The sushi? It was OK. And just ok is not going to have me returning for hectic service and exorbitant pricing. No way. And it was SOOOOO freakin' loud in there! read more

I came to Mikado way back and it used to be great. Now, not so much. Now it just seems like the service isn't as good and the food is a bit pricier for not much. I had the sushi pizza ~~bland. I had the appetizer of meatballs -that was delish!! but $6.50 for three tiny meatballs? Really? The server forgot about us, so we stood by our table and waited for the bill. Paid cash, only left 10% (and that was for the meatballs!) Will I go back, not a chance. read more

I gave it a 2 cause the sashimi is always fresh but other than that this place is gross!! Even Tokyo Express is better. The teriyaki chicken is mushy and slimy, the beef is tough and full of fat! Seriously how is this place still open yuck read more
