I don't remember the last time I went to Mikado so I met up with my friend and fellow sushi lover Olivia for dinner recently. The space is cozy with nice lighting and we were seated right away. The menu is HUGE with lots of rolls, platters, entrees, and more. They even had additional menu items posted on the wall at each table. It was a little overwhelming but I knew I wanted some sashimi and a roll. They also have beer, wine, and sake. I got the S15 moriawase (16 pieces of sashimi) and the hot night roll. The sashimi came with a soup and a salad. The salad was very fresh and crisp, and I loved the dressing. The miso soup was classic and delicious. The sashimi was tasty and a good variety - I'd definitely get this again. The roll was good, but not the best I've had. I would try a different roll next time. It was a decent portion and the pieces were not too large. The owners were very sweet and kind, and I enjoyed saying a few Korean phrases to them, which they loved. We got a cute orange at the end of our meal and I can't wait to come back! read more

We came here at the suggestion of someone. Its a small place but the sushi was excellent. We were enthusiastically greated when we came in. Sushi was great. The head sushi chef is very passionate about what he does. We brought our toddler with and he even cut up a special orange for him as a surprise. Sushi was excellent and unique. Smaller sushi menu but plenty of options. read more

Mikado Sushi is another great place to go for creative sushi presentations and just plain good sushi. I'll admit I'm far from a sushi expert but I've enjoyed everything I've ordered from Mikako. We started with Gyoza (chicken dumplings). Too often, choices like this are overcooked with most of the flavor lost in the hard crust of the dumpling. Not at Mikado. These dumplings were perfectly prepared and were extremely good. We then ordered a Mikado roll (shrimp tempura, chili tuna, etc) and a soft shell crab (Spider) roll. Both rolls were delicious. If I have any complaints, it is that they only serve Diet Coke by the can. I much prefer the fountain variety. It's a small issue to overcome when the rolls are so good. We need to put Mikado on our regular Sushi rotation. read more

We were in the hunt for sushi and landed at Mikado for our first time for Sushi in Grand Rapids. We were greeted with a hello. They were busy this day but still had room to seat us rather quickly. We enjoyed the rest of the evening with spicy tuna roll, 10pc of Madura, and a caterpillar role. read more

Great little traditional sushi place! I've gone a couple times for lunch during the work day, and I've enjoyed everything I've had. They have some great and affordable options on their lunch menu. Sitting at the counter where they make the sushi is a lot of fun and it adds to the experience watching the sushi chefs at work. read more

If this were a wedding ceremony, I would say I Mi Ka DO! Ordered the Nabeyaki Udon today because I was cold and needed a warm up - when I went inside I was cheerfully greeted by the sushi chef. As I was paying I looked around and found the ambiance nice and cozy - I could see myself coming back to dine in. I retreated back to my office from the west Michigan arctic tundra and opened up the container - not only did the soup stay hot, it was filled to the brim with noodles, chicken, veggies, an egg, and a tempura fried shrimp. Everything tasted great and I see myself coming back again and again and again (I mean I have to right? We're married after all). read more

Best Sushi in Midwest! Jay & his family have been serving me sushi every week for 15 years. I have tested their quality fish & the taste & presentation against the best sushi bars across the USA & Hawaii. I struggle to say anything is better than this.. one bar in Hawaii had a different mix of very large & fresh fish pieces, but even some of the parts of the Hawaii bar was missing the taste & presentation that Mikado gives. I rate it one of the top 10 in the USA. Definitely sit at the bar & talk to Jay or Roger. They are the best!! read more

Yes, it's a simple place. But the sushi rivals anything in town. Amazing fresh fish they get from the airport each day. Haven't had better salmon at any place in the U.S. So, for all you snob folks wearing Patagonia , go to PF Chang's for your ambiance and crappy rolls, etc. The rest of us will enjoy truly amazing sushi and noodles at Mikado. read more

Possibly the best customer service ever. The food was amazing, sushi tasted fresh, and we were served a little orange monkey at the end!!! Fed three people for $50 with two sushi platters that came with salads, miso soup, and the orange after. Ambience was amazing, the place is beautifully decorated and the piano music was a nice volume. read more

Updating a prior review where an internet glitch or I fat fingered and entered one star for Mikado which definitely wasn't my intent. Mikado is legit and my go-to for sushi in GR-- because it gets the job done. This is not foo-foo Americanized sushi but it does have some nods to what our American tastes have come to expect (like the so-called "Philadelphia Roll" which my gf always tries to defend to me when i tell her it does not exist and any sushi master in Tokyo would come after you with a samurai sword if I you tried to order one). Good appetizers like shrimp tempura, soft shell crab, goma ae, shrimp shumai. Lunch specials and some of their combo meals are a naughty indulgence--i like the beef teriyaki & tempura or sushi combo. They don't bring flaming rolls out to your table or other theatrics, but the sushi is tasty and what is should be. If you haven't been in to mikado get in there. read more

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! On takeout orders, the staff miscalculates the bill. Overcharging on my takeout bill has happened three times and is done by the person at the cash register. The latest was $38.25 overcharge. My wife brought home the food, and the receipt showed $108.25. I had calculated the bill before I called to order at $70.00. My wife said the cashier used a hand calculator (no doubt, so there is no record produced) to generate the bill. The person types a mile-a-minute, then hands you an un-itemized bill. When I confronted them over the phone, the person lapsed into Japanese (I think) and then, within a minute, said, "Oh yes, here is the bill. We owe you $38.25." He knew I caught them grifting. This overcharging is part of Mikado's standard operating procedure. They are crooks and have no honor. read more

Friendly servers and fast food service. Prices are decent and sushi was of okay-good quality. Boston roll: was rolled a bit too large, nice surprise with the inclusion of tobiko Blue fusion roll: sliced oddly thin and diagonal, but nice eel sauce flavor with a spicy kick Godzilla roll: fun and colorful, with straightforward eel flavor, I found the ones topped with black tobiko best The menu also boasts many Korean entree dishes and bento options that I would like to try next time. read more

Decent sushi. My boys and I came here for lunch. They ordered a lot! Rolls were average - nothing special. Service was good. We came for lunch on a Saturday at 1pm and it was rather quiet. It is spacious and they have other items on the menu that isn't sushi that can be tried. Overall we had a decent time. There is a parking lot outside and it is family friendly. read more

This is the best simple sushi in town. If you are in to big showy plates, this isn't it. If you want the best tasting, carefully prepared sushi, come here. The Nabeyaki Udon soup is last meal good. read more

We pivoted here on a whim when our first choice was unexpectedly takeout only -- it was a nice find! Good service and good food. Lots more than just Sushi and the tea is free (and tasty). Reasonable prices as well. One small thing I liked was they had a photo of each roll on the menu, super helpful for those unfamiliar with the options. Recommend! read more

I had this on my list of paces to go in Gr, but it did not live up to my expectations. I got sushi and sashimi and both were okay, nothing I would ever need to eat again. My husband got the stone bowl bipembop which he enjoyed. The miso soup and salad were good as well. The service was fine, there was just nothing exceptional about it that would make me want to come back. read more

First off shoutout to the excellent service and friendly staff. That alone is genuinely worth the visit. As you can tell from my photos. This restaurant offers a wide variety of Asian cuisine. From kimchi to Ramen and everything in between. The food came out fresh and hot. There was lots too try when it came to the sushi. But eventually I made a choice and what a wonderful choice it was! Absolutely visiting them again. Definitely gonna try something else out on the menu. Very impressed! read more

Sushi is fantastic and with your roll comes soup and salad! Great sushi at a great price!!

Mikado is one of our go-to spots whenever we're in town especially on weekdays. Their sushi lunch is great and fairly priced.

Mikado Sushi - Sushi lunch - Japanese Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Mikado - Best Sushi Lunch Special in Town Mikado Has the best sushi lunch in town. From the moment you walk in and are greeted personally by the chefs, till the moment you leave, it is simply the best time. The price point of their lunch special, which is under $10 is a great deal.  You get five pieces of Nigiri sushi and a special roll of the day.  Everyone is friendly, including the chefs at the bar, and the service is faster than any sushi place in town - lightning fast! Sometimes I am shocked at how quickly I can get in and out.  Don't be fooled by its unassuming strip mall location because they deliver big flavor with the highest quality sushi.  It's clean and trendy inside and their menu is full of fun creative and inventive Rolls sure to please any palate . Whether you are new to sushi or if Sushi is one of your main food groups, this place has something for everyone. The Godzilla Roll with shrimp tempura has a delightful sweet sauce and is topped with various tobiko's is all perfectly balanced for exquisite flavor. For the spicier side of life, the Vegas roll is wild and crazy. Its a deep fried spicy tuna roll topped with a spicy mixture of tomatoes, tuna, Sirachi and tobiko Oh my! I personally love their Kimchee roll, its big without being excessive and has crab and cucumber inside. It is spicy, crunchy and satisfying. For appetizers my son loves their Gyoza, in fact we have to order him 2, just for him, and he is only 11. The Oshinko, or japanese pickles, is the best Oshinko in town and they have 5 varieties for you to try in one app! Oh and I have to mention that their Tai Nigiri, or Snapper, which is also the best single piece of Nigiri in Grand Rapids. They top it with a unique sauce, a few chives and tobiko for a unique flavor and experience that keeps me coming back time and time again. The Eel, also the best! There is plenty of other non Sushi options as well from Teriyaki to Udon to Tempura and all of it is hands down the best of GR. Grand Rapids is blessed to have such a great go to sushi place where service, quality and taste is consistently served on every visit. Go. Go visit now. read more

My favorite place for sushi!!! Always amazing food, and wonderful service. Highly recommend their specialty rolls.

Honestly, I was recommended to give this place a shot and my fiancé and I were nervous. Something about strip mall sushi just doesn't sound appetizing. We were originally planning on calling in and picking up a takeout order but their sushi on their online menu doesn't have descriptions. I didn't want to have to guess what I was ordering on my first visit. From the second we walked in, the service was great. I was extremely impressed by this since multiple reviews stated that the service was average at best. Each employee greeted us, including the 3 men behind the sushi bar. They quickly brought us hot tea, a warm towel, and some type of ginger thing to try (which we weren't fans of) while we looked over the menu. We ended up ordering the Godzilla roll, caterpillar roll, Hawaiian roll, and N1 which was a noodle/soup thing. Overall, we enjoyed the Godzilla a lot and the other 2 specialty rolls were average. The Hawaiian roll had pineapple which we knew was different but we wanted to try it. The noodle soup was very tasty and large enough to share. Just like when we came in, each staff member thanked us as we walked out. Overall, I was actually impressed with our experience and don't have many complaints. Yes, the interior is dated and you're in a strip mall but they take pride in their food/service. read more

Got take out. Walked in a hour before close and the entire staff is eating Jet's. Which is totally cool, I love Jet's but it seemed liked I was an annoyance and they didn't want to be bothered. Told them I'm allergic to avocado, still put avocado on both rolls. I got the Mexican roll and a tempura Philadelphia roll. When I asked for the Philly roll to be deep fried they all started talking and laughing which was really uncomfortable. You know when people are talking shit. In LA that's a common roll known as Sunday Morning. They added crab? and it wasn't fully cooked/covered in tempura, no cucumber, sloppy and soggy. I didn't realize until I got home and they were closed. What a waste of $31 plus $9 tip. If this is the best sushi in GR I need to move back to LA. read more

Mikado Sushi - Philly Roll and Mexican Roll - Japanese Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Came here for lunch around noon. Very unimpressed. The food wasn't great and the service was even more lackluster. I ordered the lunch chicken katsu. The actual katsu was fine, kind of dry, but otherwise okay. The dipping sauce for the katsu was straight up ketchup mixed with soy sauce and was absolutely disgusting. A side of white rice came with the meal and I found a hair in it. My boyfriend ordered a sushi & sashimi plate which was mostly okay. The tuna and salmon sashimi seemed fresh. The sushi roll had old masago on it though and looked terrible. Both meals came with miso soup. This was nothing more than some miso paste in hot water with three small cubes of tofu added. Tasted very off. All of this subpar food cost $39.10. I cannot recommend Mikado. They need to step up their food and service game. read more

This is how I've received every order from them. Just tossed into a to-go container and sent out with soy sauce and roe everywhere. It'd be nice to pay for and receive a meal that isn't underwhelming or everywhere all at once. That roll is also supposed to be a "big" one... read more

This is my all-time favorite sushi restaurant! It's easy to overlook this place, tucked away in a strip mall, but it's worth a visit! The service here is superb, friendly and quick. The menu here has a large selection of Japanese dishes and sushi. This was where I fell in love with unagi and I have since compared any other I've eaten to here. Everything is always beautifully presented and exceptionally tasty! Other than a few bites off friends' plates, I haven't tried many of the entrees, since I can't get past the sushi. No one leaves here hungry! read more

Very under the radar high quality experience. One of the best in town. Get the yellowtail collar appetizer. You won't be disappointed!

This place had great sushi and they were very friendly. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because I asked if there was soy sauce and she told me definitely. I asked because I was staying at a nearby hotel. No soy sauce . It's a good thing I love sushi and the flavor in the roll was great. The sashimi is a little lacking without soy sauce and now I remember that there was no wasabi...just ginger. They seemed short staffed so I will give them another chance. read more

Their sushi is made by Korean chefs, safe to say pretty close to authentic Japanese sushi. Service is outstanding and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Always love to come here when in town! Highly recommended! read more
