Info & Location
Creativity – Simplicity – Balance Japanese cuisine is an art in which aesthetics stem from product freshness and quality and where preparation is as critical as presentation. The dishes must be pleasing both to the eye and palate, making Japanese cuisine a truly sensual experience. Mikado modestly tries to master this art in skilfully preparing sushi and sashimi as well as teriyaki, tempura, soba and a vast assortment of other succulent dishes. Among the pioneers of Japanese cuisine in Montreal back in 1987, Mikado first opened with an 80-seat capacity and only two employees. But through the magic of word of mouth, Mikado expanded and can now welcome 130 guests in a pleasant, family-style and laid back environment conducive to appreciation of great food. Kimio Nguyen, the chef-owner, now has under his wing a wonderful team of over 40 loyal and attentive professionals whose culinary philosophy is based on Japanese tradition while taking into account the eclectic tastes of Montrealers. Three basic elements underpin Mikado's philosophy: creativity, simplicity and balance. Creativity to dazzle with original dishes; simplicity to allow for the experience of full unadulterated flavours; and balance to beautifully bring together tastes, textures, ingredients and colours. The attention to detail and aesthetics is reflected in the decor and even in the use of hand-made tableware. With all this in mind, Mikado tries to fulfil the needs and desires of its customers. And for those with a taste for the unknown and the wildly creative, the chefs at Mikado will gladly prepare special dishes to delight your whims and fancies on the spot!

The service from Leah was excellent. The lunch specials are delicious & have an appetizer, entree & dessert. Highly recommend will be back. We celebrated my husband's birthday here & it was wonderful. It's also a beautiful place.View more

Food: I would definitely recommend the sashimi assortment & toro, everything tasted so fresh & had a great texture. The sushi rolls are quite unique, twists on the classics, & it was very enjoyable to taste.
The desserts deserve their own highlight, the deconstructed apple pie was so refreshing & the cherry pie is absolutely irresistible. I loved the mix of flavours & textures, & they might be one of my favourite desserts in Montreal.
Service: Our waiter was amazing, he was incredibly nice & patient with our questions, also very friendly. He recommended that we try custom cocktails from the bartender, who can make a drink based on your preferences, & all of them were perfectly on point, & they were delicious.
Atmosphere: Really great vibes for a night out with friends or date night. I cannot recommend it enough.View more

L'endroit est magnifique mais un peu déçu par le service. Nous avions pris le menu mtl à table, une bouteille de vin & deux autres entrées en plus mais on nous avait même pas proposé le dessert du menu mtl à table. Donc nous avions payé plein prix sans y avoir eu le droit. Sinon mention spécial aux brochettes yakitori qui étaient délicieuses.View more

(Visite du 7 octobre) La qualité du poisson & de la nourriture en général était à tomber par terre ! Les cocktails également. Cette expérience culinaire incroyable a d'autant plus été sublimée par le service incroyable & chaleureux de notre serveuse aux petits soins qui a su nous donner de très bonnes recommandation avec une énergie pétillante. Encore un gros merci à l'équipe qui a offert le dessert pour la fête de mon chum, je voulais une soirée inoubliable pour l'occasion & ça n'a pas raté ! Merci encoreView more

Great service. Last time I was at Mikado was back in the 1980's & it was located across the street. It is still owned by the same family & now run by the 2 sons. We were delighted to be treated very well & dessert was on the house. Very good sushi/sashimi & excellent wine list.View more

I really didn't know what to expect. Japanese cuisine can be really hit & miss depending on where you go, & always pricey. Mikado was more than just a dinner out at a restaurant. For me, it was a fulfilling culinary experience. The menu was expertly written & had a lot of variety. Our server was able to discern our tastes & made thoughtful recommendations for us. Wine & drinks paired with courses that were both dazzling to the eye & mouth. We ate so much, & even though I was full, I kept wanting to order more! We finished the night off with our party ordering each of the desserts on the menu & sharing. We paired it with some tantalizing dessert sake, oooh lala! Seriously, epic experience! They hit everything out of the park for me. Food, service, & atmosphere are top-notch at Mikado!View more

C'était bien dans l'ensemble. Un peu cher pour le niveau de gastronomie je dirais. C'était bien mais sans plus. Le restaurant est beau (sauf les assiettes & les baguettes en bois) & le service est bien malgré les quelques erreurs sur nos factures. Une mention spéciale au dessert crème brulée aux pommes qui m'a fait rajouter 1 étoile de plus ;)View more

Amazing. The new look inside is elevated but relaxing with a speak easy vibe bar & outstanding food. Favourites were the Cod on soba noodles, lobster roll & shrimp gyoza. Service was extremely attentive, friendly & every dish was explained in detail. Delicious veggie options - there's something here for everyone. Extensive cocktail & tea menu with decadent dessert. Will definitely be coming back here!View more

So a long time fan of this place for over thirty years. It has been a staple in the Montreal sushi scene & has always put out great product with a lovely atmosphere & solid service with pricing on the upper end & with creative dishes. So why not give five stars? This time the service was just too crazy slow. It took way too long & was truly unacceptable. This being stated I also have to admit that this is not the default but all too often food does take a little too long. If this is not an issue to you then consider all the rest to be at five star level. Quality. Taste. Plating. Knowledgable staff - all great. I don't add more photos as there are just too many at this point. The owner has told me they are closing down for a while to renovate & the reno plans are awesome so be sure to visit when done. I hope that with the renovations will come back a very special dessert - the coconut macaroons - PLEASE!!!! Every time I go there I always ask & if you miss them too be sure to tell the management as I'm determined to get them to offer them once again. Best dishes - too many. Favorites. Love katsu chicken it's to die for is all I have to say. I'm a big fan of their rice as I know this is such a someone thing but if you are a lover of rice, be sure to order some as it's perfectly cooked. Also big fan of their simple but perfectly made avocado rolls with perfect creamy taste & texture & amazing combination with the seaweed (nori) wrap & sushi rice. I have had every sashimi, sushi, & maki on the menue & all are a special treat for decor the one with the baby egg yolk as it's just not for me. So enjoy a Montreal landmark as it's worth the money & your time.View more

Très belle expérience! Les produits sont frais & très bien préparés. Très bon service de notre serveur, pourtant à sa première journée! Coup de coeur pour les sushis Paradise, les Gyoza & le dessert tarte aux pommes à la crème brûlée. Cependant, carte plutôt très chère pour les quantités servies...View more
