    6/3/2025 Mikado 161 Main St. Los Altos, CA 94022 I was walking and exploring DT Los Altos on an early Tuesday evening and stumbled on this somewhat hidden place (obscured by vegetation). I am more of a Bento Box and Entree over sushi guy and they had a strong menu of these selections. Parking in the surrounding city lots was ample but gets tight during high lunch and dinner times. It's a long and narrow clean contemporary booth and sushi bar setup. I was seated promptly and ordered the Calamari Tempura Dinner. The okay salad and above average Miso soup were brought promptly. The squid consisted of long tubes with a crunchy panko breading, no tentacles. This was very tender, indicating the cook knows not to overcook it and turn it into rubber. The accompanying tartar sauce was okay but I would prefer a spicy cocktail sauce. If you like long squid tubes, this place is for you, it's kind of unique. Service was good, obvious attention to detail and worth a repeat for other entrees.

    So for a Japanese/ Korean restaurant I thought this was very good. Not sure what to expect when I read the reviews. I had been here years and years ago. One of my favorites in the S Peninsula in Mt View had closed, so a friend and his GF took me here. The overall experience was great. Friendly staff and servers and it was clean. The Bento Box that I had was most excellent with a twist of this Korean Beef Dish that I picked. I most certainly will come back. Thank you.

    Stellar from top to bottom. Very good quality seafood. Spicy tuna roll was huge. Teriyaki Alambo was perfectly cooked. Edamame's we're done well. Service is superb here. Huge bento box for lunch for only $22 including soup and salad. The ambiance is so relaxing. Reminds me of being in Japan wherefbe food is not so salty.

    Food was pretty yummy, however the portions are just really small for the price. Service was great!

    As always do enjoy going to Mikado especially for the lunch bento box special. Today was no exception , as always can get a seat right away with friendly service ( note this is a smaller establishment and not adjustable tables so for large crowds it is limited ). Today was teriyaki chicken , avocado roll and gyoza , yes not so traditional but good quick lunch. Environment is nice , little bit older inside but well kept up and overall good selection of sushi , noodle etc. if in Los Altos give it a try and see what you think

    Roten lettuce, the fried calamari looked like a big portion, but inside the batter is a dry small peace of calamari, not fresh at all.

    Unfortunately the food is not fresh I got a roten lettuce. The fried calamari looked like a big portion, but inside the batter is a dry small flavorless peace of calamari, not fresh at all. I asked it to go but I didn't get the sauces, utensils, napkins. Very disappointed

Mild salty flavor from the seafood blended well with the mild spicy sauce. A must buy *Snow crab Bibimbap (10/10)- Crab was prepared and tasted fresh. Very easy to cut and chew. Rice, seaweed, veggies on the rice, in addition of the banchan all blended deliciously with the different texture on the dish. Nothing was over powering. Free refill on the banchan (10 small side dishes) *Bulgogi Bibimbap (9.7/10)- same as stated above. Beef was cooked really well and easy to chew. Great portion size on the protein. Ambience: clean, simple and elegant decoration. Great for small to large party. 75-minute dining limit for all,90 minutes for parties of 6+ RSV. Service: Phenomenal service. Every staff was kind and helpful. Got any request on a timely manner and would check on us with needs and how the food was. Price: Is it pricy? Yes. Is it worth every penny? Absolutely. Food was cooked and prepared perfectly. Service was amazing and the setting is elegant. I would absolutely come back Parking: small side and back parking

This is a Korean restaurant on the fancy side, very pretty and well decorated. The service was very good and the sweet lady pushed the cart of banchans to refill without us asking. Instead of variety of banchan to share, they actuall offer individual set of banchan so we do not have to reach over to get to the ones we like. Whatever ordered were very tasty, but the portion was a bit on the small side, but with enough banchan it was okay. I think we had short rib stew, cod, grilled spicy pork, and others. As I said it is on the fancy side so it was not your usuall Korean tofu house price tag. I think after we split, it was about $55 a person.

    Fast and Delicious!!…read more We had the following and they were all very yummy!! Great flavors and cooked to perfection - Seafood Pancake - Dumpling Tofu Soup (spicy) - this was not spicy enough for me ... but still yummy - Daeji Bulgogi spicy marinated sliced pork) - also was not as spicy as we'd like ... but still yummy - La Galbi (B.B.Q. beef short ribs) ... these were really flavorful!! - Galbitang (beef rib soup) ... amazing broth and the beef just fell off the bone (perfect for a hangover...lol) Pretty big place... and they have private rooms. Parking is plentiful, but there are lots of signs about car theft.. so be careful. Staff were very attentive in replenishing the banchan. Overall great time! Would I go back? Absolutely!!

It's quite large with many tables and chairs inside, and it's nice and brightly lit. Service was quick and efficient, and they moved us to a larger table after hearing how much we were ordering We definitely overordered and got a seafood pancake to start, the smaller size of bossam, a kimchi tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. The bossam took a while to come out, and by then we were already pretty full off of the pancake, soup and bibimbap. Service sizes are generous, and this definitely would've been enough for 4+ people to share. There was a great assortment of different banchan - my favorite is the jelly! The pancake was nice and crispy, with a good amount of seafood, the bibimbap had a great amount of crispy rice at the bottom and the tofu soup was comforting and exactly what we were looking for. The bossam had a lot of meat - I kind of wished there was more radish and napa to go with the meat, but it was tender, not too fatty, and satisfying. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. Jang su jang is still a classic staple, and has a delicious offering for almost any korean craving you could want. It's a little pricey, but comparable to other options in the area with consistent quality that makes it worth it in my opinion.

Anyways, we were quickly seated and ordered our food. We ordered the Wooga Special, Soft Tofu Stew, Tteokbokki, Kimchi Pancake, and an Orange Soda to share. The meals here come with the typical banchan sides too, which was nice to snack on. Then the staff pushed their cart of food over to our table and started grilling our meats. That was such a nice and unexpected experience how they grill your food for you since it allowed me to eat while the other meats were being cooked! All of their meat cuts are so tender and had a nice marbling on them. Out of the meat cuts I tried, my favorite cut was the Sirloin because of how tender and flavorful it tasted along when eaten along with the dipping sauces it came with. I'd recommend this place! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the cuts here and liked how they help cook for you. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to cook and eat at the same time at those barbecue restaurants, so that was a nice change of pace for a Korean bbq style restaurant.

The katsu and karaage were both very crispy and fried to perfection. And the hojicha creme brûlée was the perfect sweetness. I would love to come back to try more of their dishes.

It was HUGE in comparison!!!! I mean it was crisp and good but wow way bigger than we thought - 4 big pieces!!!! Sake Oyako Meshi + dashi: I love a claypot rice! the bottom was so crunchy and just the fact that they offer the dashi broth to add on is 10/10!!!! Love love love!!!!!

Overall was a v nice place for a date night and now want to try the Cupertino location as well.
