SLOW Service, okay food – We went to Mikado for Saturday lunch (1/27/07). We were promptly sitted in the "basement" dining section and I thought it was a nice atmosphere, different than other restaurants I've been in. I asked the server a question and he let me know that this was his first shift so he didn't know a lot. That should have been my first clue that there would be trouble. There were no other servers assisting or training him in this section and they were very busy as a retailer convention was in town. We ordered ... read more

great variety, great flavor, great price – This is honestly the best sushi i've ever had. happy sumo has nothing on Mikado. It is nice fun, and relaxing environment. On thursday nights when there is a DJ from 9-10:30, it is really fun and throws a little edge into the scene. All of the servers are very nice, helpful and qualified. I crave this sushi. If, i lived closer i would seriously eat there everyday.

BEST Japanese Food outside of Seattle WA! – If you find yourself in the state of Utah, do yourself a favor and visit Mikado! The sushi bar is out of this world, but the private dining rooms offer a unique experience. Outstanding service and to-die-for stuffed mountain trout.

Average at best. – Mikado used to be THE japanese restaurant in town. My dad used to go there when he was a kid during WWII. The new ownership could have been a good or bad thing. Mikado during the last few years was pretty run down and showing its age. Both the decor, service, and food seemed a bit tired and not up to standard. New ownership broght an influx of cash and they capitalized on the ever popular sushi boom. The interior is much improved and stylish, the sushi bar very impressive. I wish the same could be said for... read more

Not good – I go to Mikado once in a while because it's conveniently located in the downtown area, but I've noticed that their food and service were going downhill. The other day we went there for lunch and ordered some nigiri and ramen soup. Our ramen came first, after a reasonable 20 minutes or so, but the server still hadn't brought us water. We had to ask and wait for a few more ninutes before she finally brought us water! NO, the ramen was not authentic at all. The ramen itself was ok, but the soup was thin and tasted li... read more

Good sushi – I went to the Cottonwood Mikado, and had a great experience. The sushi was awesome! We also had tempura shrimp and the asian fries. It was all so good that we decided to eat there as often as possible. The service was okay, but I'm picky since I'm a server. I thought he could have been a little more personable, but he was still attentive. Overall, I would recommend this place. Everything that was supposed to be hot was hot, and what was supposed to be cold was cold. Liquor selection could stand some improvement,... read more

Can't get your money's worth. – Although the taste of the food was good, the prices were ridiculously high for the amount of food you get. I got Pacific Rim ribs for $19 which consisted of about 12 tiny ribs with little meat on them, four undercooked potato logs, and a bowl of rice. The noise was unbareable and I had to yell to have a conversation. The service was poor, we waited about 15 just to get change. Our server notified us that they were out of the sushi we ordered right as he brought out the other entrees and so we ... read more

AWEFUL!! – An hour and a half and fifty dollars later... we finally got our cold dry food. However, the manager did kindly take off 3 dollars from our fifty dollar check for it taking so long. How nice.... I will NEVER go back. I came directly back to work and told all 16 co workers how aweful it was too- I don't want anyone else to spend that much on cold gross food that you throw right out after 2 bites.

My Favorite Sushi Spot – I got my sushi initiation at Mikado many years ago and was hooked. I've since missed no opportunity to visit new sushi spots whereever I go but I've found none better than Mikado in Salt Lake City. Excellent selection, excellent quality and skilled, artful presentation by very engaging chefs. I generally visit during off hours and have never had anything but prompt and courteous service. I've never experienced anything other than the sushi bar. Prices are a little steep but if you avoid the exotic (w... read more
