Checked out Mikado for their night menu & was really impressed. The food was fresh & well made, & the pricing was very fair. The place itself is cozy with great vibes, which made the whole experience even better. Special mention to our server who was attentive & took great care of us throughout the night. Would happily return.

Mikado has always been one of my absolute favorite sushi spots - & this visit reminded me exactly why.
We started with miso soup, soft?shell crab, & a fresh salad, followed by two beautifully presented sashimi platters & two nigiri ones. Every piece of fish was pristine & cut with care - delicate, clean, & perfectly balanced. The lobster roll & paradise roll were equally impressive, marrying flavor & texture in a way that only Mikado manages to pull off.
The sake selection is phenomenal, & the mixologists truly take their craft to the next level. Add to that a team that's endlessly knowledgeable, kind, & welcoming, & you've got an experience that feels both refined & personal.
It's the perfect example of sushi done right - thoughtful, consistent, & made with genuine passion. Highly recommended.
Went there for a date the other day, reserved at 8pm but we got there late at like 9:20 pm, by the time we ordered, ate & finished our bottle of wine, I did not see the time pass but they had already closed & we were their last customers, they waited for us to finish without telling us anything since they saw us having a good time, & i only realised that when we were walking out & all the staff was hanging out at the bar. I felt really bad but I was super grateful for that, exceptional staff & amazing service, thank you so much😁

Incroyable! Troisième fois que nous venons à ce restaurant & c'est toujours aussi délicieux. Sincèrement, les meilleurs sushis que nous avons jamais mangé. Mes préférés furent le paradise & le tempura, & pour mon copain le titanic & le lona. Merci aussi à notre serveuse, Samantha, pour le service incroyable qu'elle nous à offert. Notre expérience était des meilleurs, & c'était un beau souvenir d'anniversaire!
My dad & I had the best experience at Mikado the other day. The food was incredible, nothing we didn't love. What really took the experience above & beyond was Claudia. She was very kind & very knowledgeable, knew exactly what we would like. You're in the best hands if you're lucky enough to be served by her. Merci beaucoup Claudia! ❤?
If I could put a 10 star I would .
