    Crab Rangoons
    Maya B.

    Enjoyed my meal but just a bit pricey! But quick and friendly service. Check it out if you're in downtown Wilmington.

    Corner table, busy Friday night, service good; food did not disappoint. Sake Sampler flight was great introduction to meal w/ clean taste & varrying fruity-aromatic pop. Crab Rangoon & Bang Bang Shrimp starters. Creamy crab in large fried pockets w/ classic sweet dipping sauce (actually prefer the more delicate wontons found at mom & pop Chinese stores). Shrimp, generous portion & crispy-fried, peppered & served w/ spicy aioli. We shoveled them in! Excellent! Chicken Thai Drunken Noodles- familiar chew of rice noodle, julienned veggies, chili, sweet & spicy sauce. Mongolian Beef- savory, salty, hoisin, strips of flank steak, peppers/onions/green onions- delish! Little wait on giant barge of sushi, to include - Mikimoto, Rainbow, New Orleans Shrimp, California...but well worth having patience. Not prepared to speak on each, but flavor, texture, & preparation of all was excellent, both cooked & raw, served w/ accompanying shaved ginger & wasabi.

    I stopped into Mikimotos during happy hour and was underwhelmed by their specials. $1 off $12+ drinks isn't worth a happy hour. They had a few food specials going on but I stuck with a basic hairy Mexican roll. It was a good bite and tastey. The ripped menus and unkept appreance of the dining area was a turn off to me. Service was fine but I won't expect to go back anytime soon.

    Crab Rangoon and Flower of Serenity with vodka instead of gin - yum!

    We had a 5 pm reservation and the place was not crowded when we arrived at 10 after. We ordered drinks which took a little while but not a big deal. I ordered a gin drink with lemon from their menu but asked them to use vodka and it was very refreshing! We ordered an appetizer- crab Rangoon which was really good with the red dipping sauce. We then ordered three sushi rolls to split. The first two came out at least 30 or 40 min later, so 6:15ish. The waiter said they made the wrong roll but he wanted to bring us something while they remade it. The Philly roll was tiny, probably the tiniest sushi roll I've ever seen. There were only 6 pieces also which we were a little shocked. The other roll was so-so. It had cooked fish and tempura on the outside. I ordered a glass of wine which was standard. The dinner took a while, and the service was a little slow considering we were probably one of the first reservations. Compared to other times we have eaten there, this experience left us questioning if we should go somewhere else next time for sushi. Also, it was very cold sitting by the front window. The waiter said the temp was set to 67 and he turned it up for us. Why would they keep it freezing on a cold night? They need to evaluate the guest experience.

    We haven't been here for awhile. We currently have 3 sushi places on our rotation, but this is our go-to when we want the best sushi or to celebrate something. We sat at the bar and Greta was fantastic. We ordered the Crab Salad, crab stick with seaweed and spicy mayo, Bang Bang shrimp, crispy shrimp with sriracha aioli, Double Fantasy which is lobster tempura, king crab, pepper tuna, and cajun white tuna, and the Hairy Mexican which is fried shrimp, avocado, spicy mayo and crabstick. Everything was on point, we can always depend on Mikimotos. The Asian Pear is my favorite. We weren't considering dessert until Greta convinced us to try the Tempura Brownie Sundae and it was phenomenal. So good that the people sitting next to us ordered it as well.

    The Bang Bang Shrimp were so good I forgot to take the photo before we ate them all. lol

    This was my husband's and daughter's first time at Mikimoto's and they both really enjoyed their food and the ambiance of the restaurant. I have been here many times and didn't realize they hadn't so it was the perfect choice for dinner tonight. We had the Brussels, Bang Bang Shrimp, Seaweed salad, Dumplings and Sushi!!! Hmm hmmm good . They have a great menu with a large variety. I definitely recommend you stop in to try them out. Ask for Jorge!!! He was the best server I've had so far coming to the restaurant!!!

    We used to come here for lunch in the early 2000s and it was the BEST sushi place EVER!! Today 2 decades later and not so much. A couple of my colleagues and I went for lunch and the service was so slow. Friendly staff, but so slow. We had to take our lunch to go. The appetizer bang bang shrimp was delish and my mikimoto sushi roll was okay, but by no means worth $19 bucks!! My colleagues joked they gave me the child portion. I probably won't be going back there anytime soon. So disappointed, I had fond memories of it long ago.

    Sushi is tasty but the portions are ridiculously small for almost double the cost of local alternatives.

    Is this a place you have to dressed up for or can you where what you want?

    I would definitely say it's a nicer sushi restaurant but you don't need to dress up fully. I wouldnt come straight from working out but day clothes would be acceptable.

We rolled in with a full-on family entourage: my brother (don't let his Caucasian-ness fool you, he can handle the heat), my vegetarian little sister and her hubby, my middle sister (preparing for upcoming gallbladder surgery), my diabetic mom, and my teenage daughter, and me. Basically a menu stress test. And every single dish was a hit. Pan fried pork dumplings and crab rangoons were perfectly crispy, tofu spring rolls came with an addictive dipping sauce, pad kaprow (not a typo), crave-worthy pad Thai, and rich and flavorful chicken and red curry. The vegetarians were very happy too, which is always the true measure of success. The staff? Incredibly friendly and attentive without hovering. The vibe? Open, well-decorated, and absolutely a great date-night spot -- but just as perfect for a lively family dinner like ours. We'll be headed back soon!

The teriyaki and hibachi meals are also great options (inexpensive, tasty, good portions) if you're not in the mood for sushi rolls. I almost always get the miso soup and it is some of the best miso soup I've had - always full of tofu and seaweed. We've also gotten the lunch bento boxes before and it is one of the best deals! I can usually get two meals out of it for only ~$13. The staff is friendly and the place itself is small and unassuming with only pick up/delivery available (no dine in option). I usually do an online order through their website and our food is almost always ready for pick up within 25 minutes.

The chefs are true professionals, and if you're a sushi enthusiast, this place should be on your list. Our server, Courtney, was incredible: attentive, kind, and on top of everything. I would genuinely come back for the food and for her service alone. HOWEVER. At the height of our dinner, an employee (I'm still not sure who she was) stood in the main dining area on FaceTime, and not subtle, discreet, muted FaceTime. NO. A child was scream-crying on the call while this employee packed orders right in front of everyone. Look, I'm not coldhearted. I get that life and work sometimes blend together. Emergencies happen, kids exist, and we all have tough days. But I work hard for my money. I have kids. When I go out to dinner with my husband (especially to a place with excellent food and prices to match). I'm there to relax, escape, and enjoy the experience. Listening to someone else's household chaos, at full volume, in the middle of the dining room is the opposite of professional. We politely asked another waiter if they could please request that the volume be lowered. They complied, but by the time the employee finally turned the volume down, our check was already paid and we were walking out. Amazing food. Amazing server. But if I wanted to hear a toddler meltdown during dinner... I would've stayed home.
