I recently had the opportunity to dine at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse, and my experience was a mixed bag. While the service was top-notch, the food was average and overpriced, and the restaurant's policies left a lot to be desired. The Food: Unfortunately, the food at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was a letdown. The miso soup was overly salty, and the salad was saggy and unappetizing. The ginger dressing was watery and lacked flavor. My wife's scallops were met with indifference, and her exact words were "it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good." This lackluster food was made even more disappointing by the high prices. The Prices: Speaking of prices, Mikado Japanese Steakhouse seems to nickel and dime its customers for every little thing. Want fried rice? That'll be an extra $6 for a small bowl. This feels like a unnecessary add-on, and I would have preferred it if the restaurant had simply built the cost of the rice into the price of the meal. Alternatively, they could have provided a more generous portion size to justify the extra cost. The Menu: One of the biggest issues I had with Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was the lack of detail on the menu. I ordered the vegetable option, but I was not expecting tofu to be included. Unfortunately, this meant that I lost half of my portion size when the food arrived, as I don't eat soy. I would have appreciated it if the menu had provided more information about what was included in each dish. The Service: Despite the issues with the food and menu, the service at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was exceptional. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The Verdict: Overall, my experience at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was a mixed bag. While the service was top-notch, the food was average and overpriced, and the restaurant's policies left a lot to be desired. With a little more attention to detail and a more generous approach to portion sizes, this restaurant could be a real winner. As it stands, I would caution potential diners to be aware of the extra costs and to carefully review the menu before ordering. Rating Breakdown: Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 2/5 Menu: 2/5 Overall Experience: 3/5 Recommendation: If you're looking for a Japanese steakhouse experience, I would recommend exploring other options in the area. While Mikado Japanese Steakhouse has some potential, the high prices and lackluster food make it a less desirable choice. However, if you do decide to dine here, be sure to carefully review the menu and ask questions about what's included in each dish.

This is basically Benihana so if you know what it is you know what to expect. The idea is for a chef to cook the food in front of you on teppanyaki or a steel grill while performing some food acrobatics. It's fun for the first timers but gets old if you go often. The food is very similar but you are not allowed to order sushi on the table. The fried rice doesn't have chicken. And even though I made reservations but I still waited a bit before we were seated so I'm guessing they were trying to maximize the number of people seated together. What made this restaurant better than others is that it's located at the beautiful JW Marriott with a beautiful pond and a larger man-made lake so I'd suggest coming in the evening and taking a stroll afterwards. Parking is easy and free so I'm glad the parking is not in the typical hotel lot where everyone has to pay. There are some stairs from the parking lot to the restaurant.

If you want to entertain children this is a good place for Teppan cooking, but it is quite noisy. We had to wait a long time for a chef to cook at our group table. The service was slow. The food of average quality and at a high price. It is a pretty setting at the interior and exterior of the restaurant.
