Un de mes restos préféré, qui m'a amèrement déçu. Les sushis sont arrivés sur la table froids, comme s'ils avaient été préparés à l'avance. D'ailleurs, on s'est assis à notre table à 19:10, on avait terminé de manger à 19:45. Le plateau de sushi est arrivé au complet alors qu'on n'avait pas terminé de manger l'entrée. J'ai senti qu'on précipitait le service afin que d'autres clients viennent prendre notre place rapidement. La différence entre le take out & le resto, c'est de prendre le temps de déguster, savourer les sushis à la bonne température. Autrefois, à Mikado, les sushis arrivaient par rouleau, en services. C'était l'idéal. Le personnel est courtois, rien à dire contre eux. Mais j'irai ailleurs à la prochaine St-Valentin.
La nourriture était très bonne, mais le highlight de notre soirée était le service impeccable de notre serveuse Sam. Ses explications nous ont permis de faire un bon choix, elle avait une énergie contagieuse & honnêtement c'est vraiment un atout de l'avoir dans votre équipe. 10/10 merci Sam !
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😁
Super expériance culinaire. Belle présentation. Le mocktail au yuzu 🍋 avec de grand glaçons a été bien aimé. Service très attentionnés. Nous étions avec trois ados & ils ont vraiment aimé.

Une vraiment belle soirée de fête, merci à toute l'équipe du Mikado. #ndg best sushi 4 evar. 🫶🥑🫛🍣
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! ❤?
