Mikado Japanese Grill & Sushi

I had my birthday party there last week! it's great! All of my friends really enjoy it! I have been there since they opened... but i feel they do the better now for the sushi, kitchen food... sushi chef made a special sushi combo plater for my birthday, the decor of the sushi plate is fantastic... and the fish is so fresh...

The food was ok, but the place was cheesy. I felt like I was stuck in the 80's with the whole hibachi cook theme going. Not only that, we were treated to a fabulous strobe light show (which came from the fan hood). I thought I was at a rockets game when the lights dimmed. It was quite entertaining actually. But you get the picture.

Pros: sushi was decent

Cons: Better light show than galleria on thanksgiving, cheesy novelty theme going

After having been there one time and liking it, I took my mother visiting from France and my daughter for the Hibaschi experience.

After 15 minutes a women tell us to change of table because this one was reserved . We gladly move to another table in the back room. They had just turned on the air, so we fanned ourselves with the menu. To appologize they offered a soda on the house. The cook arrived and made our food. In 5 minute he was done, NO FUSS, NO FUN. Surprising considering the fact that the table next to ours' cook (table of 4), having started before us, was still there after our's had long gone. After just having received my forgotten rice, WE WERE TOLD TO MOVE AGAIN! Then waiters didn't even bother bringing us all of our food!
By the time we began to eat, IT WAS COLD! They told us that since we were moved twice we would get a "huge" discount. We ordered dessert and the waitress says it would be on the house. Then the bill arrived. WE were charged for the "free" soda, the only discount we had was the dessert. I didn't want to make a scene and having my mother inconfortable. I asked the waitress about the discount and the soda, she came back a $12 discount on a $75 bill (still charging us the "free" soda)
I went the next day, thinking that I deserved an apology from the manager for the awful service. I was met by the same woman and the owner who then apologized, offering me lunch, a refund, as well as another meal for free. I declined lunch offer, agreed for a refund. After checking with my bank and not seeing the refund, I called them. I tell the manager my story ; speaking over me, and very rudly, he denied the bad service and the agreement we had previously made with the owner and woman. In addition to that, HE COMPLAINED ABOUT NOT HAVING LEFT A TIP!!! He then told me to never come back or he would call the police.
All this could have been avoided from the start if they had just said they COULDN'T SERVE us.
Try Harder...

Went here for lunch the other day with a group of co-workers and had an awesome experience! The hibachi style cooking was wonderful. The server/chef was great! Very entertaining and energetic. Took a little longer for lunch then it would have to just order the food from the menu, but it was well worth it! Prices are also great. Very reasonable for lunch!

I was in a hurry to get home, but had a craving for sushi. I had never been to Mikado until yesterday and the sushi was great! I had a spicy tuna roll and a crazy roll, both were excellent. The price was very reasonable and the employees were friendly and curtious. I will go back soon!

Pros: Quick service, fresh sushi

I have been several times, and the food is always fresh. The staff is very nice and prompt. I will come again for sure. I usually order the California rolls. I give this place two thumbs up, as I usually rush in, order and take my food back to the office, and they have always been very fast to get my order out.

Pros: Fresh food, good service, lots of choices

Cons: can't think of any

I love the scorpion roll and the volcano rolls. The 2 together are aesthetically pleasing and sufficient for a meal. The lunch sashimi plate is good and more than you can eat. The pieces are rather large (as is the american-style sushi) but very tasty. A nice menu. Perfect for lunch or a semi-nice dinner. The prices are great, too.

Great food, very fresh! Reasonable prices and a great place to take a group! The service was so-so. The waitresses were not friendly or very attentive. They need to work on their customer service skills, other than that, food was delicious! You get a lot for what you pay for, better than Mikayos!

Pros: inexpensive, good parking, atmosphere

The first time I tried sushi was at this fab place. I've been a very satisfied customer ever since. The service always exceeds our expectations. My favorite roll has got to be the crunch roll! It's a must try. I've been to several other sushi places, but they are nowhere near as good as Mikado.

Pros: Excellent service, Superb Sushi, Great drinks

Cons: , N/A, N/A

I live across the street and get Mikado to go at least once a week. They are alway courteous and my order is always ready in 15 minutes or less. Great sushi and great value!

As a sushi afficianado, I've sampled the best from N.Y. to S.F., and I've never had a culinary treat like I did tonight! The ambience is so-so, the "staple" orders are wonderful and the service is fine, but, without exception, try the Mikado roll - a fresh plethora of fish, rolled in cucumber and served over shaved ice a side of special dipping sauce! I'm going back tomorrow night and ordering a glass of wine and 3 Mikado rolls! You should too!

Pros: Mikado Roll!, Inexpensive, Friendly service

Cons: Seaweed salad

I've tried them all and Mikado is by far the best! Chef Michael treats you well!
