    The food was mediocre. The only good dish I would have to say is probably the blue fin tuna o-toro and partial of the deluxe combo. The Salmon was smooth and tasty.

    Reserved a table for 2. Seated in the worst possible spot. The restaurant was half empty with many desirable spots available for the entirety of our meal. The waitress didn’t even offer us water for 20 minutes. Felt like we were rushed after being served. The food was good but we won’t be returning.

    The quality of the food has gone down since the last time we were there. I ordered the A4 Bento box. The beef was cold with a boiled texture and smothered in a very sweet sauce. The chicken was definitely previously frozen and rubbery. The tempura was great.

    Wow the Mikado’s experience is always top notch! Fresh sushi and amazing teriyaki steak! We had 5 rolls that were amazing visually and delicious! The steak was done to perfection! Their food NEVER disappoints. I was there for a birthday celebration and it was wonderful.

    It was a birthday dinner that was booked in advance and it became akward at the time as there was not the offering of coffee or dessert options for anyone as in past years in addtion to the idea of a free ice cream for the birthday person- there was stricktly the options for free ice cream for the birthday person and it seemed very rushed - in addtion to us having to ask for desert - the ice cream we asked for was wrong - and one person didnt eat theirs as they didnt like coconut - over all it was an ok experience but the meal became rushed and mistakes were made -

    I always go there when I go to Edmonton. But this time I was a little bit disappointed. I ordered the same menu that I always have. My tempura was not warm enough,(taste like pre-made) my friend's chicken was cold. I reserved a table, but the table wasn't ready and sticky. The server never asked me how my was food and never refilled my water. I still leave some tips, but honestly, I don't want to. This restaurant is always busy, hopefully, the owner hire more staff.

    We have been here multiple times and usually food service is fast. Tonight it took just over an hour to get our meal. Restaurant was busy but not completely full. Waitress was good and stayed in contact with us about the delay so that was good. May have just been a Mothers Day busy delay as we saw orders going out with “skip” also. Meal was delicious as always so that made up for it. Will go again.

    We enjoyed a delightful mother's day lunch yesterday. The staff was so friendly and very efficient. We loved the private western room. The food is the star of the show. We had bento boxes, dragon eyes and a lobster special. Everything was cooked to perfection. My favorite is tempura, especially the shrimp.

    I had the A2 bento box. I requested chicken instead of salmon. When the box came most of the food was cold except the chicken. The beef was cold and unappetizing. I mentioned it to the server who did bring me fresh beef. It was not sizzling as it usually is but medium warm. I was not impressed by my experience at Mikado

    Quiet place for lunch around 12, but lineup at hostess stand was quite busy on the way out. Decent service, but nothing to note and no fun small talk. Server did nothing to acknowledge the birthday at our table (noted in reservation), so birthday lunch could’ve been more special. Food did not come out at the same time so that was a bit awkward.

    I have found that lately the service at mikado has been terrible, and it was especially so this time. It took me a long time to get any initial service, I had to ask the host who our server was. Then ask another staff after a long wait if they could please point me to my server. It took a long time to get water at our table and then to place our order. In between I wanted to order something extra and the server was no where to be found. I had to ask multiple staff if they could please assist me in getting my server. As of late this type of experience has been a common experience at Mikado, which is too bad because I typically enjoy their food.
