Editorial Review for Mikado Restaurant – by Robyn Galbos
The Scene
The dining room is clean, modern and comfortable. It's bordered on one side by a long sushi bar; wood accents and soft lighting add to the ambience. Service is friendly, but it can be uneven.
The Food
Some of the finest sushi in the city can be found here, and it's fresh, colorful and beautifully presented. The Red Dragon roll (king crab, avocado, spicy tuna, flying fish eggs and shrimp) is a favorite. Many of the combinations are enough to share, or you can order a la carte. Entrees include Mikado sukiyaki, prepared tableside with fresh vegetables, cellophane noodles, chicken or beef in a savory-sweet sauce. The Emperor's dinner combines huge black tiger shrimp and vegetable tempura with a teriyaki tenderloin filet. The tender ahi tuna is perfectly cooked--pan-seared with a coating of zesty seven-pepper spice, served on a bed of wilted greens.

I love the atmosphere here. I do not know what people are talking about with the mean service. Our service was awesome, funny, friendly... It was a great experience. And they knew about each roll and the other dishes. For those who complain about parking, it is downtown, I am not sure what they are expecting. It is an amazing dining experience, but do expect it to be a little pricier than the norm, but nothing over the top. The rolls are unique. And, my favorite appetizer is the asian fries. They are outstanding!!! I recommend getting your own order though and not sharing... they are just too good.
Pros: Atmosphere, food, big groups friendly
Cons: No discount nights

You call this food?! You mean dog food?! -Bad Parking -Long waits in line -half hour before any server came by to ask for drinks -An hour before DRINKS are brought to the table with NO MENU! -2 hours before food is served -LAZY server messes my order, complainer, and never came by to check on us or refilled our drinks (I think my server was name Jen. It was some girl who needed to learn some manners) -Sushi Chef layout of sushi on our plate was a big FLOP (Seriously?) -Manager did not do anything about the problem The location and environment was OKAY (nothing to do with the people that works there), but you can definitely find somewhere else with better environment, servers and customer service. BAD FOOD, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EMPLOYERS/EMPLOYEES/CHEFS. 4 hours of dining? NOT WORTH YOU'RE TIME AT ALL! This place was so bad that I had to take my time and make an account on citysearch just to tell everyone how bad it is! Trust me..... "Sushi's not worth it's price and bad customer service is not worth your money!!!!!!!"
Pros: Lucky location (nothing to do with workers)
Cons: Customer service, chefs, managers, employees, food, price
