Mikado Ryotei

Good place to hang out but not for great sushi

The atmosphere in Mikado Ryotei is great, really clean with nice decoration. Our waitress was very nice and always made sure our drink were filled. The seaweed Salad is excellent and the miso soup is great too. However, we felt quite disappointed from the sushi. We ordered the California roll and Ebi 2, it taste all right, wasn?t great. The sushi rice seems a little bit soft and the shrimp doesn?t seem fresh enough.

If you are looking for great sushi, I will recommend Maru. However, if you are looking for a place to just hang out or even for a date. Mikado Ryotei is a great place to go.

not worhty of rating

by foodie at Citysearch

I went with high hopes as the rating was so high. Not completely disappointed but it was certainly not worthy of a 9.7

3 of us ordered a sashimi meal. It was the first time I had been given the miso soup after the sashimi had arrived, which was generally ok but the tuna was dry, and the pieces of fish were small. Even the pickled ginger had seen better days. Had to constantly ask the waiter to top up water glasses, but generally service was ok. Ordered 2 special rolls which were tasty but kept falling apart. However standard spicy rolls (we had tuna, salmon and yellowtail) were excellent and inexpensive.

Good, but not excellent.

• Pros: 
• Cons: so dark
