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!

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 heard a lot about this sushi place in Montreal, so I decided to try it myself. The atmosphere was fantastic, & our waiter was genuinely friendly & attentive. While the food was decent, I did feel the quality could have been a bit higher considering the price. That said, it was still enjoyable overall, & I'd recommend it for a date night.View more

I've been going to Mikado for a while. Always had a good experience & the food is very fresh. We went this weekend for my dad's bday (my first time since the renovations) & it was a little disappointing.. The waitress, Genevieve, didn't seem to match the vibe & service I would expect from a Sushi Restaurant with Mikado's Reputation (& prices)... We got appetizers, plates & sushi (bc not everyone was getting sushi as their main meal) & she didn't ask us in which order everything should come out. Some people ended up getting their main meal while others were getting their appetizers (which left them with nothing to eat later on). The first service was quite confusing as we got hot & cold appetizers at the same time Then they gave us an empty soy sauce container. Also, they forgot my dad's soup as well as our sashimi order. Usually, sashimi & nigiri are served first, before other strong flavours affect the palate. Then you eat the makis. Because she didn't enter our order correctly we ended up getting the sashimi in the middle of the evening. When I dine out & pay for marked up prices & food, it's not just for the quality of the food & the convenience of not having to cook it. It's also for the service (which my family & I always tip for generously as I've personally worked in the restauration industry myself) & ambiance. I did expect better from Mikado, or at least for them to uphold the standard they had previously set with me & the many meals I've already had there. Ps. I also asked for mocktails recommendations because I'm on medication right now & can't have alcohol. She recommended the Sawa something, saying it was fresh & herbaceous . It's not. It tastes like limonade & is quite sour. I wouldn't say it's thirst-quenching nor has any herb fragrance at all.View more

Hands down the best sushi restaurant in Montreal.View more

Situé sur la rue Laurier, Mikado est un restaurant de sushis assez populaire dans le quartier. L'endroit est effectivement joli avec sa décoration épurée, feutrée & classique. Les sushis étaient bons mais loin d'être à un niveau exquis en comparaison à d'autres restaurants. Robster rollsView more

Magnifique endroit pour savourer des sushis de qualités. Le restaurant est bien décoré , faites attention au stationnement avec la folie des pistes cyclables qui longent la rue. Le service était moyen considérant le prix à payer. Le serveur a ramené une bouteille de vin & il a disparu après. J'ai bien aimé mon expérience , mais le service doit être amélioré!View more

Dining at Restaurant Mikado Laurier is an experience I highly recommend. Their newly renovated space combines a chic, modern ambiance with the best quality sushi & impeccable service. The service is outstanding, with attentive & knowledgeable staff who enhance the dining experience with their recommendations & warm hospitality. Of course, the highlight is the sushi itself, crafted with the freshest ingredients & beautifully displayed.View more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the newly renovated Mikado on Laurier. If you don't want to read any further then the one word review is OUTSTANDING. The new decor is timelessly traditonal with a whole new edge making it cool & comfy. The tables are spaced well & the meals are presented artully. Our service was engaging & professional without being too much of iether. At one point a plate was placed before my companion (who is vegetarian) & a second server, instantly moved it to avoid any sensitivities she might have had...before she even had time to notice- subtle professionalism ! Now the best part...the food! It was beyond spectacular, I had a piece of Black cod that now ranks as the best I have ever tasted. I believe it was braised & marinated to the point that it literally melted in my mouth leaving nothing but taste & a desire to return for the more. The vegetarian options were equally delicious of note was the lighter than air batter on the Tempura. dessert was capped off the meal with a deconstructed apple tart UNDER a creme brule that was sublime. I have no hesitation highly reccomending this beautiful sushi house, it's as much a feast for the eyes as it was for the palate. We will be back soon!!View more

Nice presentation, beautiful place, delicious & fresh ingredients but it was overpriced & the sushi menu was lacking variety. The cocktail menu was more impressive!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
Suzanne
Great atmosphere, excellent service & tasty sushi... but don't order the black cod / morue noire! The portion is sooooo small that it is laughable. I see in another review posted 4 years ago that it was 27 dollars but, believe it or not, now it costs a heaping 42 dollars!!! 😵💫View more

On a commandé en ligne ce soir, vraiment déçue de la qualité des sushi. La présentation laissait à désirer, les poissons n'étaient pas tous aussi frais qu'on aurait souhaité. Bref, c'était une première & dernière commande chez mikado :(View more

Sushis & plats principaux sensationnels dans une ambiance authentique & apaisante. Un endroit parfait pour une soirée romantique ou entre amis. L'endroit est spacieux pour permettre d'accommoder beaucoup de monde. Je suis particulièrement fan du bar où l'on peut voir l'un des cuisiniers préparer régulièrement des plats. La liste des sakés est également l'une des plus vastes à Montréal. Vous y trouverez votre compte très certainement.View more

Excellente restaurant de sushi... Nous l'utilisions pour nos repas à emporter... Valeur sure & qualité assuré... Seul bémol ils ne gèrent pas toujours adéquatement les allergies... Mais un incontournable sur la rue Laurier Ouest.View more

I bring a different girl to this restaurant every single week, so you can believe me when I tell you that this place keeps not only their service A1 all the time, but most importantly... THE FOOD IS BOMB & CONSISTENT GODDAM 😍. Sometimes I forget that there is even a girl sitting In front of me all I can think about is those sushi roles 😩. & their presentation is literally food porn. Also they have very attractive waiters & waitresses;)..
Enjoy mikado!
