Been to Mikado several times. Absolutely delicious and consistent every single time without fail. The staff is very hospitable, the dishes come fast, and the quality is unrivaled in my opinion. The overall environment really makes you feel comfortable and "at home", while also lending itself well to an authentic Japanese experience. Over 20 years Mikado has been open and it still is amazing, delicious, and welcoming all these years later! Thank you so much!!! read more

My three star rating is generous. We stopped by for lunch and each ordered a box. Mine with mixed tempura and spicy tuna. My husband's box with steak teriyaki and spicy yellowtail. The tempura tasted like cheap vegetable oil. We could not eat it. The steak was not tenderized and was tough. Sushi rolls were marginal at best. We will not be back. read more

nice local small restaurant. we like their offering bento boxes as dinner entrees. good selection of sushi varieties, but wish they had chirashi for dinners. we ordered spicy yellowtail and salmon rolls, both pretty bad as rather than have slices of the fish in side, there seemed to be some emulsified fish goo, which we hoped was a bassamatic version of these fishes, maybe to save money? stay away from these. read more

I'm so glad I found this restaurant. The food and service were excellent. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely amazing customer service, huge portions, and delicious. I would 100% come again and can't wait for next time read more

Mikado Sushi - Sashimi salad and salmon x salmon roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I'm glad I found this place as it's close to my work and home. I've worked in the area for quite a while and I was surprised to find out that they've been here for over 20 years. I stopped in on the way home from work to grab some sushi to go. I was greeted immediately and given a menu when I told them I was ordering for take-out. I was even offered something to drink while I waited! The pricing for the sushi was fair and there was a lot of variety to choose from. The sushi that I order was delicious and tasted light and fresh. I will say that it wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, but it was still very good. While I did not dine there, the atmosphere was very cozy and quiet. I will definitely be stopping in again to get my sushi fix. read more

I have never felt the need to post a review until visiting Mikado sushi. My friend and I decided to go here on a whim. Our original go to spot was closed so we quickly found this sushi restaurant to grab dinner. When we first walked in it had a feel-good atmosphere, a majority of tables were full and several conversations filled the air. I'm use to walking into a sushi restaurant and it's quiet and a little awkward so this switch of pace was amazing. Next is the food. It was freaking delicious! We order the same kind of rolls we would get at our other sushi spot but this locations tasted and presented 10x better. The Sunshine roll was refreshing! The Mango California roll was tropical and sweet! The Sweet and Sour roll had the perfect amount of crunch and balanced flavor! The customer service was phenomenal! We sat at the bar and watched how the chefs prepared the rolls with skills far beyond the average man. Towards the end of the dinner we felt the perfect amount of full which allowed us to order desert. We requested green tea ice cream which wasn't on the menu. The younger chef found a way to accommodate us making my friend and I extremely happy! If you're curious the Ice was also divine. 10/10 would recommend to a friend! read more

YELP TO THE RESCUE! We were in the area of Chandler and was hungry for Japanese food. We thought to give it a TRY! GLAD WE DID!!! Small cosy place but, very sanitized. Hardly anyone was in there and maybe it was the time that we went in the early afternoon (4pm). Our hostess was very nice and polite as well as the Chef, he waved to welcome us. We usually start off with some nice hot green tea and to our surprise their green tea was no package green tea, you would normally get and could purchase at any asian market here in phoenix. It was very satisfying delicious! They had happy hour so we got our favorite, which is our Hamachi fish tail. It was cooked to perfection, where it slips off the bone and fish meat was nice, soft and very tasty. It was not dry at all. My husband loves the seaweed salad - it has a sweet but, salty taste and its also refreshening! salad. Yaki Soba - was plentiful noodles with the right amount of sautéed vegetables. Not too much salt and not to bland but, enough to start getting us full! Green Mussels are my FAVORITE! I love their teriyaki sauce that thickens over the cabbage. The mussels were glazed with japanese mayo (another favorite) and with the teri sauce added. It was so divine as I ate almost all of it and I had to share one piece with my husband! Our waitress/hostess was laughing because the cabbage on the plate was for decoration but, I ate it all too Last but, not least I wanted to try their Scallop nigri - just plain. Nothing on it. Waitress was asking "Are you sure?" and I said YES! I know most ppl from Arizona are not accustomed eating RAW fish or seafood but, I grew up with eating raw fish straight from the ocean so I really enjoyed just having nothing on it! This is a nice HOT SPOT! We are glad we found this place and when we are in the area again. Definitely stop by or we can bring the big kids here for a early dinner.... We will see! It usually us paying for the entire bill...Because they always seem to be BROKE! hahaha Thank you for keeping it Authentic and not changing the culture to please the community you are in! Its nice being able to find small, family owned restaurants like this that we can support! read more

Amazing sushi! Everything was very fresh and were very clean rolls, highly recommend!

Absolutely a gem in Chandler Az. This is a must try the sushi is amazing and the options are vast. The lunch menu is extremely good and the bento is well priced and gives a ton of options. Everything from hand rolls to deep fried has been delicious. The service has been average to great and I've complaints as our server is always attentive. The ambience is very relaxing and quiet although they do have televisions on. A decent music selection plays in the background. read more

Great, and I mean GREAT!!!! Sushi in south Chandler. Even when there is a wait, I promise it is well worth your patience. Also, I understand management changed relatively recently, so you should ignore any older negative reviews. read more

Mikado Sushi - The best sushi you've ever seen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This is my go to sushi lunch spot. Mikado offers a pick two, three, or four bento box lunch special that includes a good selection of sashimi, sushi, rolls, tempura, and katsu and comes with rice and miso soup. You can sub a salad for rice or add it for a dollar. The sushi is good (though not great) but the prices are very reasonable. The only real downside is that sometimes the kitchen/servers get bogged down in the lunch rush. Getting there at 11:45 v. 12:15 makes all the difference. read more

Mikado Sushi - Baked Salmon C.A. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This is one of those restaurants that just piles supplies all over the place rather than organize everything out of view. It gives the appearance that cleanliness is not the top priority. Expansive menu. The miso soup was standard fare. The ginger salad was typical iceberg lettuce. They build the salads ahead of time apparently because the dressing looked to have been applied some time ago. The sushi was pretty good but a little mushy in spots. Maybe too much rice. The biggest negative was that the shrimp in the sushi roll wasn't hand breaded and fried. They buy it ready made - previously frozen. If not they need to get fresher shrimp. read more

Good sushi. Nice customer service. Tuna avocado roll was very fresh. I do not recommend the spicy garlic edamame. It was edamame with chili sauce dumped on top. A mess. The spicy avocado was a beautiful presentation. read more

Best sushi I have had in Arizona and it's for a great price. The white tuna is the special key here at this sushi place. I don't know any other place that has such delicious white tuna or even have white tuna. The sushi is also very fresh and the pieces are thick. I really enjoy getting their sashimi combo dish. Unfortunately, they do not give any complimentary desserts for birthdays. They did, however, make my mom a bear with an orange (quite cute!) read more

Mikado Sushi - delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I'm picky about textures of food that I eat so it is surprising to me that I'd like sushi as much as I do. I've eaten sushi all over the place. I am confident in saying that I like Mikado the best. Their rolls are good sized (some places have really small rolls!) and taste great. The chefs are great too. Almost every time I've gone I've had someone sit next to me that is a regular and swears by Mikado sushi. So what is the bad? Sometimes when you walk in the staff is not super active at seating you. If you want to sit at the bar, then just walk over and sit down. If you want a seat then walk over to the register (it is only like 15 feet from the door in plain sight) and ask if it is OK if you sit at whatever booth/table you like. The staff all works together so when you sit at a table you will be served by all the chefs and all the servers - and thusly you will be tipping all of them collectively. So for this reason, it really doesn't matter where you sit! I'm not saying to just sit wherever, I'm just saying be proactive. It helps you and it helps them. My favorite roll is the Crunch Roll, which you can get for cheap during happy hour (until 6pm). During HH I can get 2-3 rolls and a tea for about $12. Outside of HH it will be more like $18-20. Also, the menu has pictures of all their food (well, 90% of their food), so you can kind of browse that way too if you like to look at what you are buying. So if you want to be waited on hand in foot and have a restaurant that looks like a million dollars then this is not the place for you. However, if you want good sushi, then this is the place. If you are curious about something, then ask them what they think. I see many of the regulars asking all the time what is fresh and good and the chefs will be very honest about what is good and bad and they will order/serve accordingly. Also, the most you come the more you will become "family" to them. You will start to get samples, especially if you sit at the bar and chat with the chefs. There you have it... the best sushi place I've been too and better yet, it is close enough for me to walk to! read more

Mikado Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, Mikado sushi was pretty easy to find. The restaurant was about 35% filled during lunchtime. There is ample seating for groups in booths, tables, and the sushi bar. They also have a multitude of LCD screens playing sports and other tv shows. The background music was an energetic retro 90s beat on Utopia radio. My servers were very courteous and took my order quickly. They have great lunch deals here. Pick 2 for ~$8, Pick 3 for ~$10 I got the mixed tempura, chicken teriyaki and salmon sashimi which also comes with white rice and miso soup. My food was out in less than 10 mins. I was impressed with the quality of the salmon sashimi. It was very fresh and a vibrant orange. I have seen in the past how some sushi bars have tried to pawn off pale orange salmon as fresh when it's clearly been frozen and defrosted. The mixed tempura was lightly battered with just the right amount of crunch. Lastly, the chicken teriyaki was tender and scrumptious. Getting the 3 combo was just the right amount for me. This is definitely a great place to go to get some fresh fish! read more

Pretty good. I had the salmon skin roll. Also ordered the side salad because I like the dressing. I love the hot green tea! The service is quick and very nice people. I look forward to eating there again with my parents. read more

I've been enjoying this place for quite a while, figured I should finally review :) This is not a trendy, upscale, over-the-top sushi place. You will not find the absolute best, most exotic items. But what you will find is reasonably priced Japanese fare that is fresh, tasty and consistent. I've enjoyed their sashimi offerings - the tuna and the spicy salmon avocado. I've over-indulged on several of their delicious sushi rolls. And my wife is partial to their Tuna Tataki - great sauce! Has items for my picky, non-sushi eater (fried prawns or the pork tenderloin). Their service is always friendly but they get distracted or confused or just lost (can't quite figure it out). And I've not seen any advantage to sitting at the bar as in any other sushi place. So some quirks but good food, good prices. read more

Very good selection of rolls and the happy hour menu USA very good value. Not very busy so the service was very quick and friendly. Was a Monday at 5:30 so the people started coming in as we left. Would definitely recommend read more

It was our first time eating sushi here, we had a blast. The environment was very casual and small, which is a plus+. Luckily when we went it wasnt too busy, so we got our food fast. I forgot what I bought, but it had eel? Or mackerel in a bowl with rice and toppings. It was very delicious! read more

This spot is in a good location and wasn't crazy busy. But it took an hour for me to get my food! We hung out inside waiting for what seemed like forever. For the good: the tempura and rolls were good. But I really went because my wife loves steak teriyaki. The steak was terrible, so chewy and just felt old. The sauce was good as well as the typical miso soup and salad. Overall I'd give it more chances because of the location but not impressed. Definitely have to call in the order an hour ahead next time. I did like the spicy honey chicken though! read more

Mikado Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

We thought we would give it a try since it's not too far from our house. It was just OK. Nothing to write home about. I didn't care for their "tempura", which I don't consider "tempura". It's more like Italian breadcrumbs to me and that's not what I expect from a "Japanese" restaurant, so minus a star. read more

My go-to when I'm craving sushi. Fair price and good quality and NO ONE makes tuna tatake like they do

Amazing food and service 10000/10. They're always nice and friendly and fast. I like the environment as well.

This place was very warm, and it was a hot day. The service was excellent, but the food just so-so. The Sapporo tasted warm, the sushi was ok... not great, slightly fishy and questionable. The butter scallops we chewy and over cooked. I eat at a lot of sushi places, but I won't be back here. read more

Mikado Sushi - Variety of Sushi Rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

4.5! -.5 for the ambiance. Or maybe just cos it's my birthday. I was expecting it to be a little modern and bigger but when we went inside it was like 10 booths and a few tables plus the bar. It looks like a mom and pop restaurant, an aged mom and pop restaurant. Plus the plum wine that I ordered....meh. Wanted to order Sushi Boat but the lady (probably owner) said they don't do that, but I was persistent. haha So she said if we ordered 6-8 sushi/rolls then they would do it for me. And a few moments later, ta-da! Gigantic wooden boat bearing sushi goodness. A+ for the service! The server, girl who had thick bangs, was nice, a little too nice (rechecking us every 10 minutes), but I'd rather have that than a waitstaff that's totally ignoring me. I forgot which exactly we had, but I'll try to recall...We had the Salmon Sashimi, Las Vegas Roll, Salmon Tempura Roll, Yellow Tuna and Salmon Sashimi Roll, and this kind of Veggie Roll I forgot the name of. Everything was outstanding! But my favorite was the Las Vegas Roll, the smokiness of it, ohhh I love it! Summary: Great for chill night with the homies, or with the fam. Wouldn't recommend it for birthday parties or birthday dinners - there's nothing special for you. If you just like to have a worthy Sushi night and have time to kick back and enjoy a Kirin then this is the place for you! :) read more

I went with the dragon roll, and the spicy tuna rolls. By far this has been the best Sushi that I have had in some time.
