Close to home superb Japanese food place. Service is great and fast. Ambience is low-lighting vibe. Loud/noisy. Inside plaza. It's always packed but they accommodate well. Haven't been disappointed. We keep coming back. read more

This sushi spot has been around for a long time, I haven't been in years. The service was great from the moment we walked in, friendly staff, attentive, and everything came out in a timely manner. As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed experience. My favorite dish was the ceviche. It was fresh and really stood out compared to everything else we tried. The sushi itself, though, was just okay. Some of the rolls felt a little bland, and many of them were drenched in sauce, which made it hard to really taste the fish and other ingredients. It kind of overpowered the rolls instead of enhancing them. Overall, it was still a pleasant visit thanks to the great service and the ceviche. read more

Been avoiding this spot for three year since I didn't like the Tracy location. I decided to give this spot a try and ended up liking the food here. I ordered the two item bento box. My combo of the salmon teriyaki and bbq beef ribs hit the spot. Overall, food and service was great! Will be back again. read more

Considering I order from Mikasa at least once biweekly, I'm shocked I didn't make a review sooner. I usually make a to-go order, since there's frequently a crowd when I would show up. Walk-in and order, call ahead, or DoorDash, so many options. I've have a variety of their sushi rolls, and my favorites have been Red Dragon Roll and DCS Roll. If you're a tuna and shrimp tempura fan, you'll probably like those too. read more

Second time coming here and it's not too bad, hence why I've come back. No complaints and always happy with my orders. Place does get packed though! read more

We came here on a Sunday a late lunch-early dinner. I really enjoyed my futomaki roll. When I asked for a ramen the waitress recommended the chow mein style noodle with the beef. The soup was very flavorful just needed some spice. The tempura app was really good, as you can see too late for a photo. Everyone enjoyed their meal, no complaints. Will come again. read more

Great dinner as always. Service was spot on, our waiter was quick and came back several times for drink refills. The sashimi was fresh and the tempura was nicely battered and crispy. Always love their soup and salad that comes with the meal. If I had to point out a flaw it was that the hot tea seemed a little off...but maybe we just didn't let it steep long enough. Also for some reason the soy sauce was very, very salty. My wife loves soy sauce and she noticed this also. Overall great place for dinner. It's a busy restaurant with lots of to-go meals being sent out but our food still came in a reasonable amount of time! read more

I have ordered the "Tuna Ceviche" probably 6 times over the past year and I always order "no tobasco please" because I don't like the taste of tobasco. I also ordered sushi rolls with "'no ginger or wasabi" because I don't use either one. They listened to the second request but this is the 4th time they've put tobasco on the ceviche. This item is $17.95 and this is the 4th time I've wasted my money here. I've reached out through doordash all 3 previous times but nothing has changed. This time it's drenched in tobasco! I'm torn on eating here anymore. read more

Been here quite a few times and food's always been pretty good. This time we had a DoorDash and we did a bento box and the food was subpar. The salad didn't have the regular dressing on it. That normally comes. The temper of vegetables were not crispy they were mushy very disappointed will not order this way again. read more

Hot Lips. Hard pass on this one again. Supposed to be stuffed with tuna, but I guess the way it's deep fried make the texture come out like a ground turkey sausage. shaped like a jalapeno but only a sliver in there. read more

To my beautiful Ashley on her 20th birthday to quote Dr. Seuss, "oh the places you'll go." I can't wait for your many adventures to unfold. Para festejar a nuestra hija dejamos que ella decidiera que quería comer, nos dijo sushi , mi esposo estuvo preguntando a familiares y amigos y todos coincidieron con este restaurante. Llegamos y desde afuera el lugar se miraba pequeño, al entrar miramos que había muchas mesas y todas muy bien acomodadas que te dan espacio suficiente entre mesas , fuimos bienvenidos por el staff que siempre estuvieron muy sonrientes y amables. Para empezar ordenamos el clásico Thai Tea que estaba delicioso , y de appetizer el favorito de Ashley , calamari que estaba cocinado a la perfección, de ahí ordenamos una variedad de rollos que todos estaban deliciosos, cabe destacar que mi favorito fue el ITT ROLL . Esta visita a este restaurante nos ha dejado muy buena experiencia, sin duda volveremos a seguir celebrando el amor y la familia read more

OK good but good service Hadn't been here in years. The food was OK but the service was excellent! read more

Came here during lunch time for the first time. Walked through the door and waited without being acknowledged by anyone. There was even a waitress who had walked right by us to take the orders of three ladies who were sat next to the entrance. She made eye contact but then looked away without any greeting. A total of three workers had seen us and didnt greet us. Finally after standing around for a bit, a server finally acknowledged us and got us to a table. They server was quick to take our order and the food did come out quickly. However the food was mediocre. The salad that came with my bento box was very watered down. It almost had more water than dressing itself. The entree was decent. The fruit on the plate was fresh and sweet. But nothing else really amazed us. Not sure if we should come back and try their sushi rolls. But as far as their service, they aren't very welcoming so chances are we won't be back. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately it was a complete disappointment. I have a high regard for Japanese cuisine and the standards typically associated with it, but this experience fell far short of my expectations. First, the teriyaki chicken tasted off and was difficult to eat. The flavor and texture were unpleasant enough that I left most of it untouched. Second, the tempura was covered in a thick, heavy batter, which was nothing like the light, crispy tempura batter typically found in Japanese restaurants. Third, the mango sago did not resemble the photo being advertised. Instead of having mango toppings as shown, the mango was blended into the drink with only tiny bits remaining. To make matters worse, there was a piece of plastic in the drink that I almost consumed. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the food quality, misleading presentation, and the foreign object in my drink, I will not be returning read more

I have gone to Mikasa for years now and it remains one of my favorite sushi places in the 209. It's a great place to bring a family and the service is always good. It can be crowded inside the restaurant at times, but it has a nice atmosphere. As a vegetarian there is a large assortment of rolls to choose from which is nice because I don't eat fish, but also want to eat things beyond a basic avocado or cucumber roll. My favorite item to order is the Mary's Roll. Some close seconds are a Futomaki roll, vegetable teriyaki, and their spicy edamame. read more

1st they have excellent guest service and I love their spicy golden prawn roll and it's usually my go to but this time I ventured out and got a bento w teriyaki beef and bbq short ribs...I was completely disappointed I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. The teriyaki beef looked uncooked and grey and the sauce tasted spoiled, then the bbq short ribs was all fatty not even meat couldn't even get a bite in. read more

We've been to hundred of sushi restaurant and this is definitely the worst. First of all, the bento box does not come with miso soup (our fault for not asking but also the first one I've been to that does that). Next is the lion king roll without sauce. Basically it's dry bake salmon on top. And the Philadelphia roll they send me home with look like one in a grocery store fridge. WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE COMMING BACK HERE. Tbh, the china wok food togo on the other side of the plaza has much better food. At least their food came the way it supposed to. read more

I've been coming here for years! Every time I visit home I always stop at Mikasa for some sushi! They've upgraded their entry, so there's a screen where you can check in if you are there for pickup or if you'd like to dine in. This makes the pickup service really fast. I paid and got my order pretty soon afternoon arriving. I love all the options available. The seafood and vegetables are always fresh! I recommend any of the special rolls. The portions and taste are definitely worth the price! Can't wait to return, highly recommend read more

Met a dear friend for a weekday lunch- we came here because our regular nearby spot has closed. (sad face). Our usual go-to served an Avocado Bomb. Our absolute favorite. Luckily, this place can also make one!! We will ask for a few modifications in the future, but it was really great here! We were seated promptly, even during the peak lunch rush. Our booth was in the back and very private- away from most of the noise. Plenty of parking. I have been coming here for more than 12 years for the sushi- not knowing of their Avocado Bomb- definitely a plus now. Win!!! read more

Good food + great service! My husband + I usually take my mother-in-law out to eat on her birthday + she always chooses Mikasa. Food has always been good + service has always been great.

The appetizers were delicious and came out in a timely manner. It took a while for our rolls to be done but that's expected. I just was a bit unsatisfied because they drench the sushi rolls in too much sauce. I'm not sure if it's soy sauce but it's brown and VERY overpowering. It takes away from the actual flavors of everything in the roll. I couldn't even bring myself to finish my sushi roll. read more

Visited family before being recommended this place for the fact they served udon, and udon being my favorite japanese foods. Turned out to be disappointing for the reasons: (1) Appetizers portions were off the rails with whatever you ordered. We saw other tables ordering the calamari and having a mountain of food on their plate while we ordered the gyoza and got six small bit. (2) After ordering we ordered our entrees, we noticed our dishes came with a "salad" on the side. Turned out it was just lettuce with ranch sauce on top, not even cabbage. (3) Got my udon and I couldn't be more disappointed. Noodles came stuffed in a flavorless bowl with bland-seasonless chicken, tasteless onions, zucchini slices, carrots slices, and cabbage shreds. The only positive was that my udon noodles were cooked right, and that my table liked the quick service and easy ambiance. read more

I've been eating at Mikasa since back in the day when they were located in Stockton. Today my family and I drove there as we had done so many times and I really don't know what is going on. I am not sure if is lack of training or caring or burnout but the food isn't what I drive there over an hour. The flavor of Jerry's Roll wasn't there. Is never supposed to be sweet. This is the second time and I was tempted to send it back because it was disappointing and bottom line flavor wasn't good. The other disappointment was the service. They were staffed appropriately yet when I requested low sodium soy sauce the waiter kept walking and tapped another waiter who appeared to be taking his lunch. He brought me what I asked for but what I'm saying is that the staff has an uncaring demeanor that is hard to understand. Last time I was there the restaurant was nearly empty yet it took at least 20 minutes to get someone to come and take our order and when I got my food which took them a while and it wasn't right. The purpose of this review is in hopes that you the workers, the owners understand that when it comes to dining out there is a lot of options. I'm really hoping you work on the issues the restaurant is facing. read more

My friends brought me here on a lovely Saturday evening. They have came multiple times but this was my first. They spoke so highly of it. I ordered my usually two sushi rolls for myself. I forget which two but they were both fantastic! I could not agree with my friends more on the taste of Mikasa. We also ordered some drinks and I had their take on an old fashion and it was tremendous. I can't wait to come again and try some different rolls and indulge in some alcoholic drinks with some friends. read more

If you are looking for Japanese food, I do not recommend this place. We first arrived, there was quite a bit of sitting available and not too busy. They sat us in the back near the bathrooms, dark and dank. We asked to move to the windows for some light and to get away from the smell. The menu looked good and they have a wide variety of dishes. We got 4 sushi rolls and 2 nigiri rolls. Everything tasted old. The fish was very thin and dry the rice wasn't even sushi rice. The tempura tasted like old cardboard. When looking for sushi you expect fresh fish and this was not the case. We paid extra for the roe and it was so fishy and off. We tried each roll and they were awful. The only thing good was the miso soup and the nice waitress who tried to help us out and give us a discount and the manager said no. read more

The first time we came here, our booth smelled like cat pee. I could not place where exactly it was coming from but it was strong and off-putting. The food was only okay. The second time I came years later, they literally ignored everyone in line and just worked on to-go orders only. About 8 of us were standing in line for a good 25 minutes before anyone greeted us. Usually I'd leave after 15 minutes but I was starving and I was already there. The people behind us left because it was taking too long. Again, the food was only basic. All in all, it's a huge pass for me. It's conveniently located near everything else I go to but there's a good Chinese place in the same plaza next to Starbucks. read more

Yes! This was one of the tastiest bento meals I've had! I loved the Saba Shioyaki. It had tons of flavor and was perfect with the white rice. Also, the tempura shrimp and vegetables were great. Everything was really quite perfect, including the Thai Iced Tea and miso soup. The service was also quite good. The server was attentive and friendly and there was a good vibe from the staff. Glad I tried this restaurant! read more

Unfortunately, the food was pretty mediocre. I ordered a couple bento items and the Jerry roll. Chicken katsu and California roll were good but nothing special. The spicy tuna roll really threw me off. The tuna did not taste fresh. It's a light pinkish paste that was sour and had a lot of filler in it. The Jerry roll (also had spicy tuna in it) was overpowered by so much raw onion and cilantro, which mostly ended up in the trash after picking the actual rolls out. On the plus side, portion sizes are decent. read more

I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience at Mikasa ( Lathrop location). I ordered food that was clearly not up to standard -- it made a family member sick shortly after eating it. I called the restaurant to inform them of the situation, expecting at the very least a refund or a gesture of good customer service. Instead, I was told that unless I brought the food back, there was nothing they could do. The catch? It was after hours when we discovered the issue, and by the time I spoke to them, the food had already been thrown away. The manager told me I'd basically need to dig it out of the trash and bring it in to get a refund. I was shocked. I explained that someone got sick and that the food was unsafe, but they told me they "have insurance" for that -- as if that helps me at all. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable -- just my money back for a meal that was clearly not okay. Instead, they insisted they needed to "see the food" in order to offer a refund. I get that businesses have policies, but common sense and decency should override rigid rules in situations like this. Suggesting a customer should dig through garbage for a refund isn't just unprofessional -it's insulting. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who values health, accountability, or even basic customer service. read more

I was craving sushi tonight so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered through DoorDash our usuals in almost every sushi place such as the Crunch, Lion King, and Rainbow rolls. Take into consideration that my husband was already inside the restaurant waiting for the order, so "waiting for a Dasher" didn't affect the quality of the food. 1) The Crunch roll wasn't as crunchy. 2) The salmon of the Lion King were obviously individually placed on top of the roll since they were in different sizes on each slice. Also, this roll didn't look or taste baked at all. 3) At least the Rainbow roll wasn't too bad. I want to say the raw fish are fresh enough. The slices were thin too for them to be considered "good" sushi. Overall it was okay for a quick craving, but maybe it's a different experience and hopefully a better one to dine-in. Would still probably give it a try someday. read more

Come here during lunch with my coworkers all the time. Be conscious of the timing as you may not get seated in time if you're trying to make it a quick lunch trip. Service is fast and food is good for the price. If you're looking for high quality sushi this isn't the place, but for a quick pit stop this will suffice. Right off the I-5 freeway, it is a convenient location with plenty of parking g in the plaza. read more
