I just love Mikimoto's! It's my favorite sushi joint in New Orleans. Mr. Jack, the owner is friendly and he makes sure to greet us and tell us thanks when we leave. I've been going here for 7 + years so far. Here are my favorites! NOLA roll- raw salmon and avocado wrapped inside rice and seaweed. Here comes the best part, the spicy mayo with chopped mussels goes on top of the sushi. Seafood Yaki Udon- noodles, shrimp, chunks of tuna and salmon all tossed and stir fried with a special BBQ, tangy sauce. - My sister likes it with no cabbage. I like it with cabbage bc it give the entree a crunch. Baked scallops- 4 pieces of scallops (5 if you're lucky ;) baked on top of a bed of enokitake mushrooms with a garlic butter sauce. Baked Salmon- this is your standard crabmeat filling wrapped with salmon and eel sauce on top. Desserts- the best fried cheesecake ever! Comes with two slices for only $4 bucks. Fried ice cream They do 2 flavors in one ball. Each halves can be different flavors. Chris and I both like green tea and debated which would be our second flavor. I actually liked the coconut better than the green tea. They make good piña coladas too. They also have a variety of alcoholic beverages for my friends who I take with me. Pros- good food and very attentive staff. Complimentary noodle salad first thing they give you when you order. Ask for Khoa Bc he's my favorite. Cons- small place and limited parking spots. read more

Mikimoto Restaurant - I'm with my favorite dishes. - Japanese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Never had a worse dining experience at a sushi restaurant. I ordered the steak dinner with sushi combo. This was during the pandemic, so all the sushi had been rolled by people with sanitizer covering their hands, which transferred to the rice. The fried rice was unseasoned and tasted like burnt nuts. The steak was near blue and absolutely hard to chew. The people there looked like they didn't want to be there. Not at all a pleasurable experience. read more

Best sushi in New Orleans for the price. Hands down. I wish I could say more, but if you don't know what to order just ask your server or chef and they will not steer you wrong. Parking is a little bit of a chore when it's busy but other than that I absolutely love this place. read more

They have some of the best sushi in town , the staff is very attentive and always quick to refill your drink or ask if you need something . read more

Mikimoto Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

What's not to love about this place? They have a prime location, fresh sushi, huge rolls for $5-6, and a drive through window! This past weekend I ordered four rolls for my husband and I, and the total came to only $25. That's a great price for dinner for two. We got a mango roll, metairie roll, and two other basic rolls with salmon and tuna. The sauce for the mango roll was amazing, and I really didn't expect the rolls to be as big as they were. Of course, they were heavily stuffed with non-fish foods such as avocado and "crab," but I am ok with that. It only took them 15 minutes to make my order and it was ready at the window as soon as I got there. Now I just need to find an amazing Vietnamese restaurant with a drive through.... read more

This place is amazing. I ordered my food through Uber eats as a pickup order and my boyfriend ended up going to the wrong place to get it and then I lost touch with him so I couldn't even tell him the right place to go, so I decided to call the restaurant to ask them what was going on but the guy that answered told me he wasn't there, but my order was ready. So the guy who answered the phone originally, must be the owner, called me back like 20 mins later to ask me if my boyfriend was coming to get my order still and I said i wasn't sure because he wouldn't answer the phone, so he ended up asking what area I lived in and he realized that his security guard lived only like 10 blocks away from me. So he told me that his guard would be able to bring it to me and that he would call me when he got to a certain cross street a block away from my house and I said thank you!!! It was so nice for them to go out of their way like that. And the food, I'm eating it right now, is DELICIOUS! Honestly, not just saying this, but this place probably has some of the best sushi I've ever had. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the Diane roll. The Diane roll is AMAZING, btw. 10/10, thank you so much for the kind service read more

They've got a drive-thru. If that's not New Orleans I don't know what is. I've been a patron of Mikimoto for their maki since I was in high school- before the menu change and subsequent price increase. Even still, they have the most affordable, delicious rolls in town. The portions are great and they don't try to load 'em up with rice to get you full faster. When I lived out of town, Mikimoto was always my first stop back in the city if I hadn't yet been lured by a po'boy. I am privy to those with local ingredients, but all are seasoned well with thoughtful presentation. The service is good, not too pushy. I love how tiny and intimate the space is and I find it hard to not stop and get fried red bean ice cream every time I happen upon Carrollton. read more

It's been more than a decade the last time I ate here. Sucks that they no longer server complimentary Noodle Salad. The baked salmon was cooked perfectly. A few of the sashimi wasn't really fresh. The tempura was delicious. Over all the food was great and great wait staff. read more

The House Ginger Salad is very delicious. The Nabeyaki Udon has very soft noodles, and the Shrimp Tempura is super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The California roll was 6 pieces instead of the normal 8 but it was only $4.50! :). The pieces were relatively larger than normal. Our waiter was very friendly and always kept our drinks filled. He checked on us to make sure there was nothing else we needed. I ate here with 3 other people at about 60 bucks after tip. I wish I was more hungry to try more of their sushi, but I am sure Mikimoto would not disappoint. My friend Oneida ordered salmon teriyaki, and the salmon was very flaky. She finished all of it and said it was also juicy and flavorful. We also ordered the chicken teriyaki with sauce on top but let me tell you the chicken katsu (fried chicken) would have been a much better choice to complement the sauce. Oneida thought they had good service, and the atmosphere was nice, quiet and relaxing. The Sushi also looked like it had super fresh sashimi! :D Thanks, Robert Altmiller read more

My newest found addiction from here is the beef teriyaki, and the banana tempura with red bean ice cream for dessert. Oh God! (Quagmire voice), that red bean ice cream owes me nothing at all. I'll usually get my steaks medium-rare, but i think i'll be ordering these medium next time. Still delicious nonetheless. I'll try to remember to post pictures next time. Remembering to take pictures is a difficult task tho when that food is in front of you, must say. read more

This place has great sushi, nonetheless. Very flavorful and our food came at a reasonable time. However, our waitress was not the best. She did not guide us to her table, she pointed to the corner. Secondly, she stopped greeting us mid sentence to go check on another table - strike 1. Strike 2 was when my friends asked what she recommends on the menu and she stared at him blankly then proceeded to give empty advice. Our last unpleasant encounter with CINDY was when she was upset she received no tip. Tips are for GOOD SERVICE, ATTITUDE, POLITENESS etc,. She came back to our table and very unprofessionally stayed, " I'm confused as to why I don't have a tip. I don't get paid by the hour." It is not our fault your service sucks and that you have a horrible attitude and lack professionalism. Even after tipped $5 , she still was unhappy but frankly I don't care about that. She is very unqualified for a waitress maybe Mikimoto should hire her as a dishwasher. I'll never eat here again because of Cindy. read more

Mikimoto is my go to spot when it comes to sushi! It's a quaint little sushi restaurant in mid-city that's easy to get to wherever you are in New Orleans. Everything on the menu is good but my favorites are... 1) Beef Tataki- cooked med-rare to perfection! I always order this. 2) Yaki Udon- It's the best in the city and it's a huge portion perfect for sharing! 3) Escolar sashimi- By far my favorite fish. Not every restaurant carries this so I give Mikimoto extra stars for this one. 4) Tiger roll- Spicy roll with raw fish inside and out. Delish! 5) Uptown roll- Deep fried roll with cream cheese! It oozes yummy goodness. 6) Tempura cheesecake is a must have to end the night! The fish is always fresh and the service is always up to par. They even deliver and have a pick up window so you don't have to get out of your car when ordering to go. Convenience at its best! read more

Wanted to try a new place, decided to give this place a try. Didn't really have any parking with small parking spaces.. Clean inside with friendly staff, we had the following: - Baked Salmon - it was mediocre, not really up to par with other sushi places - Baked Scallop - really fatty and buttery, so fatty and buttery I couldn't eat it.. - Baked Yellowtail Neck - this was mediocre, nothing special - Beef Tataki - was cut way too thick, and there was not enough acidity - Escolar Carparcio - probably the highlight of my dinner, fresh and delicious - Jalapeño Hamachi - refreshing, but nothing compared to the carparcio - Rock'n Roll - Two tempura shrimp, snow crab and avocado inside seaweed & rice with smelt roe outside and BBQ eel sauce on top - your basic Rock'n Roll, good as always - Shrimp Tempura Roll - Two tempura shrimp, cucumber and avocado inside seaweed & rice with smelt roe outside and BBQ eel sauce on top - pretty decent roll too - Uptown Roll - Salmon, red snapper, snow crab, asparagus, and cream cheese inside seaweed, tempura battered and fried with BBQ eel sauce and pink sauce on top - probably my favorite roll that day, pretty delicious Overall, not a bad experience, but I don't think this would be my go to sushi place. read more

Good, quiet, quick. Not exactly the atmosphere for a fun night out. But good for a quick weekday date night

Always good, always quick and the order is always correct. And the drive through makes it so very convenient.

I come here often and I've never had bad service. It has a small parking lot but also has 24 hr security to watch over the cars. This place also has a drive thru where you can call ahead and pick up. I've never had a wrong pickup order before either. The sushi is fresh and high quality. The local rolls are an interesting mix of New Orleans and Japanese. My favorite pieces here are the pepper tuna sashimi (with the marinade, taste just like steak), volcano roll and Metairie roll. read more

Wow! Khoa V. Was our server and he was amazing! Everything he recommended was delicious. I loved the Tiger Roll and scallops! This is a must try when you are here.

Mikimoto Restaurant - Entrance of restaurant. - Japanese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was my first visit to the restaurant and the food was good but also bad. We ordered the whodat roll which was good but the main dish was upsetting.The chicken was burnt not grilled and it had an awful soot taste.When we tried to complain about the quality, we were quickly dismissed by a waiter and given our check instead of a offer to try and fix the issue. I'm not sure I'll ever go back here because I feel like I wasted my money. read more

Ordered the beef teriyaki-tempura dinner with a special crunchy roll. Steak was tough and full of grisle. Teriyaki sauce was too sweat and there was entirely too much on the steak. Tempura was greasy and bland. I've had better at casino buffets. Eel in the special crunchy roll was tough and dry. I had to remove it from the roll to consume the crab stick. I have ordered from Mikimoto for years but the past few times have been horrible. I hate to say that i will not be ordering again. read more

Amazing sushi! Worth the price too. Service was excellent, miso soup could have been warmer but don't care at all! Had the Jalapeño sashimi, sashimi platter and the spicy tuna(with no mayo) was so good we ordered twice! Deff coming back here again! read more

Mikimoto Restaurant - Spicy tuna(without mayo), jalapeño sashimi and sashimi platter(exchanged shrimp with more tuna) - Japanese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

In my opinion, the best sushi you can get in New Orleans! I've moved away from NOLA now but still crave some of the items the way they prepare it here... Their rainbow roll is the best out of any that I've had at any other sushi restaurant anywhere. I also highly recommend their squid salad and creamy noodle/cucumber salad. read more

I really used to like this place. I've been ordering from here for forever. But my most recent experience was absolutely horrible! It's really gone downhill and the problems with this place come straight from the top. I tried to order a few rolls online and their website sends you to someplace else for delivery even though that's not clear that it's happening. I ordered 3 rolls, was changed $67.44 for 3 rolls. Really pricey! After over an hour I get a email from Uber Eats say some dude was picking it up. I knew it was going to be bad. An hour later, e-mail from Uber eats, some other dude is supposedly picking up my order. I wait... Then another 45 minutes later, I get an email from Uber eats. My order has been canceled. Clearly they didn't have a driver to pick it up. Totally disappointed, but still hankering for sushi, I get online again. I see that I can order the same thing from grubhub, so I order again. About an hour later my sushi gets delivered to my neighbors house, lol but at least I got it., right? Wrong! It was horrible. Not fresh! Ugh. Bad sushi is the worst. Oh well. Learn learned. Then a few days later, I noticed my credit card had been billed twice. Once by grubhub and once by mikimoto. I figured it was probably an honest mistake and I called mikimoto to correct the double charge. I was shocked and dismayed at the way they treated me. So rude and condescending. So I text my credit card statement to the owner at their request. It's clear as day that I was double billed and this arrogant pompous little man refused to refund me! He offered to send me some more bad sushi instead. No thank you! Don't want anymore of that! He refused to fix the situation. I'm sure I will be able to reverse the charge through my bank, but it's infuriating that a local business that I've frequented for so many years would make me go through all of that even while acknowledging the error and getting paid twice. It's dishonest. I don't recommend that you eat here, but if you do, double check your credit card statement. If they can double bill you, they will, unapologetically. ***Please note the owner is apologizing now after reading the review, but was fully aware of this situation at the time and I gave him plenty of time to correct it, yet he chose not to. His reply is just as insincere as it sounds. read more

I love the many choices of cooked rolls from their menu. My favorites are the volcano roll and the Cajun roll. The raw rolls are always fresh, and they don't have that fishy smell. They even offer free delivery. Not sure what the minimum is though. I've ordered from them for years and they stay consistent. read more

Mikimoto Restaurant - Two Philadelphia rolls without green onions, hibachi chicken rice, vegetable tempura, and pan fried gyoza (dumplings) delicious - Japanese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

*the smell of fresh fish and tea leaves* where do I even begin!? Arigato gozaimasu! This place is a must stop in New Orleans. Felt like I stepped into a Japanese family's home for gourmet sushi and sake! The hospitality and service puts other establishments to shame. I could've cared less what my colon felt like after 100 dollars of food, to include fried cheesecake! read more

The worst sushi I've ever experienced! How? How do they get a 4.8 rating baffles me!? 5 different rolls,all of them were junk. They OVERLY use cucumber as filler. Philly roll..junk, Cali roll.. junk, crunchy dynamite.. junk,tempura roll.. junk, shrimp twist? Really can't remember the name however.. junk! I don't understand New Orleans , where have y'all been eating sushi to feel like they deserve high marks? My stomach is in the process of disagreeing with my poor choice tonight, Sad! There are 5 other sushi spots I'd choose before running with Miki ever again. How do you even serve the public this borderline bad sushi?, COVID or not! New chefs?, Bad night?, Holiday weekend?, what was it..? My fellow New Orleanians please do a better job of recognizing Mediocre to Exceptional sushi. Miki, y'all lost street cred. Oh, y'all potstickers were good! Lo read more

I don't ever go here, but I was craving nigiri and this was the most convenient restaurant. I got the nigiri lunch combo-- 6 piece nigiri, California roll, house salad, and soup for $10. I was sooo disappointed with the nigiri! The quality of fish is below average and some of the pieces (yellowtail, shrimp, crabstick) had such a foul odor & the rice was so hard. The only thing I enjoyed was the single piece of salmon nigiri. Such a let down! read more

According to my wife, the sushi was OK for the price, but this is a one star review on their cooked options and atrocious service. What ever you do, don't get the Beef Teriyaki. The main problem is that it was completely inedible. It was so tough that I couldn't finish chewing the first two pieces and had to spit them out. I requested a knife thinking smaller bites might help and they provided a butter knife. Thanks, I would have been just as well off with a spoon. After taking one more smaller bite, I pushed the plate away and servers continued to walk by without asking how everything was. The second problem with this dish is the beef was under-cooked, I asked for medium rare, but it was definitely on the rare side, which most likely contributed to it's toughness. I also don't think they season the beef at all, and rely completely on the Teriyaki sauce for any flavor. I try not to be confrontational, since I'm usually the one in the wrong when I finally do snap, so I waited patiently for them to realize they messed something up, but nope, that never happened. We had two servers come to our table throughout our lunch and the woman server never said a single word, nobody asked if my wife wanted more wine, or if we wanted desert. If the reason for this is that they could tell we were not happy, ask what is wrong and try to fix it. When he came to take the plates, he saw the plate full of food and asked if I wanted a to go box. No. This is in my top 3 list of worst service, and by far the worst hot meal I've ever had from a sushi place. I understand your focus is on sushi, but if you can't cook an edible beef dish, take it off the menu! I think it goes without mentioning, but this is our last visit to Mikimoto. read more

Called to ask if there were any cooked sushi rolls, as I can not have raw fish and the boy on the phone was extremely rude and unhelpful. So I just ordered tempura shrimp and vegetables, which was unflavorful, the fried rice was ONLY rice, no meat, no veggies and tasted of all rice oil. The On the up side, the miso soup was good and my husband had the jalapeño madness & Philadelphia roll and he loved them. Guess they're only good with their rolls maybe‍ read more

This restaurant was the first pure Japanese one I had been to in New Orleans, and in all honesty, it was nice. The atmosphere was great, being intimate but at the same time it didn't seem crowded or right. The service was also very quick, and the food was satisfying and filling. My main issue, though, was with the prices. Nothing was very spectacular about the restarting, especially its location on S Carrollton, so I was disappointed to see how much I had to pay for the food. Overall, though, it was good, and I hope to come again soon. read more

Mikimoto is FIRE. Best Japanese food in Nola. 11/10 my takeout order was so fast, still warm, and the employees are nice.

Racism with a side of Sushi. My phone conversation the other night: Me: Hi, I would like to order for delivery Mikimoto's: Sure, what's your address? (give address) Mikimoto's: I'm sorry, we don't deliver to that area me: Its right across Carrollton Ave from you, you can literally walk it over. Mikimoto's: I'm sorry, we don't deliver to that area Me: So you don't deliver to a black neighborhood that is right across the street from you? Mikimoto's: "No, I'm sorry, I can't help you" Me: I will find a less racist sushi bar to give my money then. thank you. For the record, my neighborhood has had fewer incidents than the area that Mikimoto's is doing business, they are just afraid to deliver to "darker" neighborhoods. There is absolutely no legitimate claims to any kind of crime statistics or security for their drivers. If you want to give your money to a restaurant that only delivers to white areas, go for it. me, I have more self-respect than that. read more

Mikimoto used to be one of my favorite go to restaurants but my experience today wasnt thr best. previously I wad greeted with a hot towel (i know due to covid this is probably no longer a thing) and small noodle salad but apparently this is no longer a thing. The Who Dat Popper was messily made and broke apart. Some of the jalapeno was not even actually inside but hanging off the side. I ordered the yellowtail roll which i know comes with salmon and lemon on top but none of my rolls had that. read more

Decent sushi at a decent price. It's not the best I've had, but it's conveniently located in midcity. They have a drive up ordering option too, which is great!
