It was my first time going to Mikko Sushi, and the experience was amazing. The restaurant was spotless and more affordable than I expected, which made it even better. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the visit. The food was the highlight--everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. Overall, I'd rate it a 10/10 and would definitely recommend it to anyone craving great sushi and if you're able to handle dessert afterwards their ice cream tempura is absolutely amazing!! read more

Best sushi spot in Escondido! I come here at least once a month for sushi dates, and it never disappoints. Alex is usually our waitress, and she's been working here for a long time. She's always attentive throughout our entire dining experience and makes us feel well taken care of without being overbearing. She has such a warm friendly personality, and it's clear she genuinely enjoys what she does. As for the food, we like to try different rolls each time. Some of our favorites so far are the Escondido roll, Dynamite roll (definitely one of our top picks), Dragon roll, and the asparagus tempura roll. We'll sometimes add a spicy California roll too. On colder days, I love getting their miso soup or spicy tonkatsu ramen, you can even switch out the protein for an extra charge, which is a nice option. My husband usually goes for the chicken katsu curry, and I really enjoy the beef yakisoba or the teriyaki salmon. So if you're in Escondido definitely give them a try! read more

I usually go to Mikko Sushi in Vista which is the WAY better location because they actually listen & follow directions. I called in for a to go order at Escondido and asked for the Salmon Teriyaki bento with the sauce on the side. Shrimp tempura is what I ordered for one of the sides and I didn't get shrimp tempura I got mixed tempura. When my husband asked to make sure it was shrimp the guy said 'it is what it is' very professional. So professional I'll never go to this location again and recommend anyone reading this to go to Mikko in Vista. You'll get a 1000% better experience. Then I open my salmon and the sauce is on the salmon. So by the time I get home in 40 mins it's going to be soggy. Sauce on the side is a simple task and I get 'it is what it is'. I try calling back to tell them my experience before coming here with a bad review and they don't answer my call as if they're screening it. If you're going to not accept changes in the meal then tell me over the phone so I can change my mind instead of charging me $21 for a meal that I did not want. Edit* - Just adding that they did call me back after I left a vm. They apologized and offered a refund but as for the comment 'it is what it is' she apologized about that but also said 'it does not sound like something he would say' and excused the mixed tempura as 'the guy is new and probably forgot' almost felt like it was half apology, half excuse. Nevertheless there was a refund so I increased the stars. read more

i have come here multiple times but today was such a bad experience i won't ever come back. we waited 10 minutes for help to the point i got menus for the table. when i went inside twice the girl brown hair, light eyes working November 26 at about 230 was so incredibly rude i was taken aback. i have worked in the service industry as a server and understand the stressors. when i went back to check the second time and asked if we could order she said you haven't even been waiting that long and said if you went to complain i can give you the managers number. as an escondido resident always eating and shopping downtown that was upsetting and appalling. *manager took the time to comment but unfortunately what he described is absolutely not what happened. As someone who worked in the service industry i'm very aware of the intricacies and difficulties and that was not the case here* read more

This place was great! I came with family and friends to celebrate my wife's birthday. We didn't have plans ahead of time for a group of 7-8 people and they were able to seat us. The food was excellent tasting, the service was great, and the price for everything was fenominal! We will definitely be back. The only note i have is that this place is extremely strict on no outside food or drinks. I brought a half drinken coffee in with me and they asked me to get rid of it. I have never had a business actually enforce that rule and it was a bit awkward at first. I understand you don't want people to bring in random food and eat it in your business without buying anything, but clearly we came in to eat and spend money, so it was bizarre to ask me to get rid of a drink you don't sell. Definitely odd and maybe something for the business to think about. read more

Food is decent. Ambiance is nothing remarkable. Service was decent. However, accommodation for those temporarily or permanently disabled was not the best. You should not rush someone who has difficulty walking, especially when he or she is trying to eat at your establishment. read more

In the neighborhood and dropped in. Atmos was a delight. There were many people sat already. We sat ourselves and our server came to us after a few minutes. We order the mango tuna sushi -wow! So good. We also order the spicy chicken bowl and it was also really yummy. Not sure it's worth $1 up charge for the churn Breast but it did taste good. Dinner was about $50 as we had two iced teas and they were also very good. Over all a place we would go back to. You will enjoy it I would think. read more

Bomb dot com. Was the meal over $100? Yes and I'd do it again to share an intimate meal over some seriously fresh sushi. The staff was easy to get help from and knowledgeable about their menu. I love the low lights to help keep the mood centered around the table instead of bright where you can be drawn to look around. Great place with delicious food. 10/10 recommend! read more

Mikko sushi is probably, in my opinion, the best sushi place in town! My husband and I started going here at the very beginning of our relationship and never stopped it became our regular date night stop! I even follow them on Instagram! They are a very welcoming atmosphere! They have an amazing philly roll!! I love their salmon!! Their wasabi, too, is so good we eat a lot of their wasabi!! read more

Great customer service. Going above and beyond. Definitely going back. Sushi was really good.

We have had the pleasure of dining at Mikko Sushi in Escondido on numerous occasions. We have consistently been very pleased with both the service and the quality of the food. However, our recent visit last Friday (April 17th) was a bit different. While the service was as excellent as ever, our Mekko roll, though still good, perhaps did not quite meet the high standards we have come to expect. The two dishes that were particularly disappointing were my personal favorites: the tuna poke bowl and the yellowtail kama. Despite this, we do intend to return and will likely explore other menu options on our next visit. read more

Came in to fill my daughter's sushi craving. Was greeted as soon as we walked thru the door and was seated quickly. Looked over the menus and penciled in our orders. Service was quick. Ordered the Mikko and caterpillar rolls, egg rolls and gyoza. Food was good. Daughter, however, found the sauce on her caterpillar roll a bit too sweet but good otherwise. My son who doesn't care for anything other than pizza and pasta enjoyed the egg rolls and gyoza so that was a win. We were in and out within an hour. We were satisfied. read more

I really wanted to make this spot my go to spot since it is just down the street, but the prices are insane, with an average price of $17 for a roll! You would think you were dining in La Jolla or downtown, not in Escondido. They have seating available inside & outside. Service was friendly & quick. They serve salads, a large variety of rolls, sashimi, bowls, entrees, noodles, desserts & more. They also have lunch specials daily 11am - 4pm. Mikko Roll: Besides the price, the rolls here are good. This one was my favorite one. Delicious & tasted fresh. read more

I'm really proud of Mikko sushi for surviving the pandemic, giving many local young people jobs, working out staffing kinks, and continuing to do good business in Escondido, California and beyond. We had lunch here yesterday and it was bustling which is a good thing, this means business is good. The restaurant is clean and looks better than ever. The service continues to be excellent and the food is still a great option for lunch or dinner downtown on Grand Ave. read more

Love this place for lunch time! Great food and quality, I definitely recommend, our severs Mia and Leo are always friendly.

Fried rice, An old item on the menu and it's so good. Crunchy spicy and avocado goes so good with the spice. It's not on the menu right now but if you ask for fried rice they will give you this I would definitely recommend trying. read more

Mikko sushi is a top sushi place for me for always having excellent, fresh sushi that is flavorful and delicious. Everything is absolutely outstanding, from the service to the food. The rolls are delicious, no matter what you get you'll end up enjoying it. They even have entrees, fresh fish, bowls, and lots more. The salmon skin salad was incredible! I didn't know a sushi place could pull off such a great salad! The seafood ramen is outstanding and so flavorful as well. Everything is fresh, the dragon roll, Carlsbad roll and Vegas roll are some top choices for me. The hot sake is great as well. Affordable, great service and great food what more can you ask for? read more

This is a great sushi spot. My in laws live in Escondido and whenever we visit I hope we end up here. Service is quick and the sushi bar makes for a traditional open kitchen vibe.

My daughter and I visited Miko Sushi this evening. While the food itself was enjoyable, the service was unfortunately very disappointing. Early on, our table was brought an order meant for another table. When we addressed a mistake with our own order, our waitress argued with us, insisting we had ordered it. Additionally, we had trouble getting her attention for basic requests like water and napkins, as she never returned to our table. Overall, the quality of the food was good, but the experience was significantly let down by the poor service and the waitress's unprofessional attitude. read more

This is the best sushi in north county San Diego, located in Escondido off grand ave which is their Main Street around here. Leo is the manger and always takes great care of us. They have a great selection of chefs rolls and their sashimi selection is always delicious. I get the baked mussels every time because they do them perfectly here. They have a great selection of sake, beer, and wine as well. Try the mango cheesecake it will not disappoint you. A must try if you're looking for a cozy well kept date night spot. read more

Fantastic find. Great friendly and helpful service. Food was amazing and presentation was perfect. Child friendly, clean and very enjoyable. We tried so many things I can't list them all. Will definitely be back! read more

Found this hidden gem on yelp! Was just in the area and we are so glad we stopped at this local sushi place- it has a nice inside setup- very clean- lots of booth options which are comfortable. The servers are amazing- super friendly and also great with kids! All of the staff are asian so it feels very authentic. We started off with the miso soup and the shishito peppers- both were very tasty and the shishito peppers had an asian flavor- so so good! different from any shishito peppers i have had before-- this place is very family friendly because not only are the staff super great with kids but also they have an amazing kids meal! $7.50 and it includes terriyaki chicken, rice, and dumplings! i've never seen this combo for a kids meal but it really was perfect! It was a good size portion too. My mom and i split the escondido's sushi and the beach sushi roll, the one with the cucumber on the outside. The cucumber one was hard to keep together but had really great flavor, just was messy. We really enjoyed both though, tasted very fresh too. The prices were on point for what you received really- similar prices as home where we live in a smaller town. Highly recommend this little sushi joint! read more

I'm going to start off with the service, the service was fantastic. There were various servers and each helped out with brining out items, whether that be bringing out water, utensils, the sauces, the food. Everyone was super helpful today. Unfortunately, unlike the review down below, I think the food fell short to my expectations instead of the service. I ordered various items: Spicy garlic edamame, calamari, garlic albacore and the albacore special roll My most liked items were the spicy garlic edamame and the albacore special roll (mainly because of the tempura crisps) I'm not sure if it was just today or if it's usual but the calamari was super tough. I had a few bites and was really disappointed. The albacore sashimi and even the albacore on the roll, most pieces were also tough/chewy and not the usual buttery consistency I'm used to. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed. I think I'll continue my search of a sushi spot in north county. Too bad since this is so close to home. read more

Seriously delicious sushi. Fresh, flavorful, great size rolls. The restaurant is clean and inviting. Laid out really well for a fairly long narrow place. Would be equally good for dinner with the girls or a date night. I came in early but by the time I left it was poppin. Only downside was trying to get anyone's attention for a water refill was next to impossible and nobody ever asked me how things were. read more

We have been to Mikko several times and it's always a sushi dream come true! The miso soup is cozy perfection, and every roll looks like it belongs on a Tokyo runway. The Ocean Roll has the perfect fresh/cucumber crunchy combo, while my hubs ordered the Rainbow Roll, pure edible art! The staff are always kind, friendly and accommodating, and the chefs will wave and say hi/bye like we're old friends. If happiness comes wrapped in seaweed, this is where to find it. read more

I have been to Mikko COUNTLESS times and it is always a perfect experience. The staff has never slipped up once. The chefs are so good at what they do. The fish is perfect. If you want to experience next level sushi, get the fresh wasabi instead of the green paste. And skip the soy sauce. Just my opinion. :) There aren't enough good things to say about this place. Please never leave Escondido! read more

Decided to go to cruising grand last minute. Was in the mood for some sushi. Decided to go to mikkos. I think this is the best sushi spot in Escondido. It's also clean. The place was very busy. I was very Surprised we were able to get a table so soon. We waited less than 5 minutes. We order salmon nigiri, garlic edamame, jalapeño poppers and albacore specialty roll. They were all so good! The hubby was very hungry and his favorite was the albacore specialty roll. We definitely will be coming back here again! read more

Our food was delicious. I ordered one dish without garlic. It came out with garlic and they happily remade it. We had a good chance to visit with each other, so it must have been quiet enough. With the construction, you still enter from the sidewalk near the street. read more

Pretty decent sushi. Nice little restaurant that was well kept. Not too busy when we went. Pretty average overall

I visited Mikko's Sushi while currently following a strict no-sugar, low-sodium detox as recommended by my doctor. Before ordering, I made it very clear to our waitress that I was on a medically advised diet with no sugar and no sodium. I'm aware that many Japanese dishes include sugar and gluten, so I specifically asked whether the cucumber salad dressing contained sugar. She responded, "Not that I know of, it's just rice vinegar." As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for over 16 years, I know that when a customer mentions dietary restrictions or allergies, the proper response is always to double-check with the kitchen--especially for the safety and well-being of the guest. When the food arrived, I took one bite of the cucumber salad and immediately tasted sugar in the vinegar. Since I haven't consumed sugar in some time, my palate is extremely sensitive. When the waitress came back to check on us, I mentioned this to her--not in a confrontational way, but so she could be informed in case she encounters a similar customer in the future. She still looked unsure and didn't seem to take the concern seriously, so I asked her directly to confirm with the kitchen. She did, and it turned out that the vinegar indeed contained sugar. What was most disappointing is that she didn't return to the table afterward. Instead, another server brought our check without any further acknowledgment or apology. This felt dismissive and unprofessional. Food sensitivities, allergies, and medical dietary needs should always be taken seriously in any restaurant. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback so the staff can be better trained on how to handle these important matters in the future. read more

Someday I will get to take a pic of my food before eating. But for now, it'll have to do that I share my go tos here - Escondido roll and Spicy Seafood salad, plus baked mussels as an app. Maybe a basic order - but they consistently get it right! Fast and friendly service. Cute decor to go along with it too. Will be back! read more
