Yummy!

by thepuzzleplace

I love the atmosphere here. I do not know what people are talking about with the mean service. Our service was awesome, funny, friendly... It was a great experience. And they knew about each roll and the other dishes. For those who complain about parking, it is downtown, I am not sure what they are expecting.

It is an amazing dining experience, but do expect it to be a little pricier than the norm, but nothing over the top. The rolls are unique. And, my favorite appetizer is the asian fries. They are outstanding!!! I recommend getting your own order though and not sharing... they are just too good.

• Pros: Atmosphere, food, big groups friendly
• Cons: No discount nights

Good sushi - half price menu

by nataliet5

I went on 5/21/09 and experienced friendly staff, interesting architecture/decor and good sushi. We ordered a few items off of the half price sushi menu (available after 8 PM, I think) and enjoyed all of it. The citrus prawns were fantastic!

• Pros: Half price sushi menu
• Cons: Can't think of one

N aked fish is lacking food quality

by sqquuee

The service was great and attentive. We went for a birthday and sat down in the tatami room. It was fun drinking sake and chatting.

I was a bit disappointed to find out it was no longer Mikado or run by Mikado.

The food was not as good as it once was. My Chicken Yakisoba had cilantro in it. A lot of it. I didn't know Japanese food had cilantro in it.

• Pros: In the old Mikado space.
• Cons: Not run or owned by Mikado.

Bad service...Not worth your time and money.

by Ebony1982

....If you're thinking about wasting gas to drive all the way downtown for this lousy place....well... please.... don't! First and far most, the service is the worst. For example, the servers will talk back to you and if you plan to make a complaint to the manager, they won't even give a dam. Plus... the workers don't do their job because they're to busy hanging out in the back texting and gossiping. Secondly, the wait for everything is forever (food, drinks, refills, etc)... For example, it took nearly an hour before the food was brought to my table (Note to readers: this was a tuesday night. I repeat... TUESDAY for gosh sake!) like seriously? I should have threw a plate at my servers head.... And finally, the food was not fresh nor was the taste that great. You can most definitely find better sushi places around Utah that doesn't taste like plastic (exaggeration). Aha.... But hey, if you have plenty of time on your hands and yearning to eat plastic food then I would reccommend this lousy place. =]

• Pros: ......?.....
• Cons: Owner don't know how to run his business....

Great Atmosphere and Great Sushi

by picasso7

This was a great find. It's tucked away n the avenues of of Salt Lake, and is a great place for an adventuresome meal. The first thing that I liked was the Japanese style seating, with the futons and low tables. It made for a great atmosphere. The tempura was the best I"ve ever had, and the sushi rolls were incredible. A great find, and great for dates!

• Pros: Atmosphere, food, service
• Cons: A bit pricy

Sushi's not worth it's price and bad customer service is not worth your money!!!!!!!

by mPat1982

You call this food?! You mean dog food?!

-Bad Parking

-Long waits in line

-half hour before any server came by to ask for drinks

-An hour before DRINKS are brought to the table with NO MENU!

-2 hours before food is served

-LAZY server messes my order, complainer, and never came by to check on us or refilled our drinks (I think my server was name Jen. It was some girl who needed to learn some manners)

-Sushi Chef layout of sushi on our plate was a big FLOP (Seriously?)

-Manager did not do anything about the problem

The location and environment was OKAY (nothing to do with the people that works there), but you can definitely find somewhere else with better environment, servers and customer service.

BAD FOOD, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EMPLOYERS/EMPLOYEES/CHEFS. 4 hours of dining? NOT WORTH YOU'RE TIME AT ALL!

This place was so bad that I had to take my time and make an account on citysearch just to tell everyone how bad it is! Trust me..... "Sushi's not worth it's price and bad customer service is not worth your money!!!!!!!"

• Pros: Lucky location (nothing to do with workers)
• Cons: Customer service, chefs, managers, employees, food, price

TERRIBLE SERVICE, WORST FOOD, AND RUDE SERVERS

by TinaPhan

Mikado gives the WORST SERVICE I've ever had in my life. Lazy service and VERY RUDE servers. They don't care about customer service at all! For example, the dumb waitress did not wrote down my order and it turns out that she messes up my order afterwards. Not only that, she argued with me and said very rude things like "well... I can take that off your order, but it only costs like 15 bucks so..." Also, it took them an hour to get my group seated, half hour to get our drinks, and a full "never ending story" before our food was brought to the table. [Note: It was a slow wednesday night when I went. Can they not handle that?] In conclusion, Mikado gives bad customer service, lazy rude uneducated servers, and the food was not that great at all.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Bad customer service, rude & uneducated servers, cheap & nasty food.

Best Sushi in Utah, No Questions!

by happydowntowngirl

I have eaten sushi all over Utah and Mikado always comes out number one. My husband and I go there at least once or twice a month. The sushi is ALWAYS fresh, the rolls are good-sized, and we have never gotten a roll we didn't like. Some people have said their rolls are expensive but I haven't thought this at all. Their rolls may be a dollar or two more than some places but they are literally almost twice the size so in actuality I have found them to be less expensive. Sometimes the service is lacking, but overall I am ADDICTED to this place and I have yet to find any place that does sushi as well as they do. If you love sushi, the only place in Utah I would recommend that I have been is Mikado.

• Pros: Amazing sushi, good atmosphere
• Cons: Sometimes the service isn't that great

Great saturday evening experience

by gastronomicslc

We had a great meal at Mikado this month. A varied menu, excellent sake and some very creative and unusual sushi creations. Definitely a new favourite for me.
