    Crab Rangoons
    Maya B.

    Enjoyed my meal but just a bit pricey! But quick and friendly service. Check it out if you're in downtown Wilmington.

    Corner table, busy Friday night, service good; food did not disappoint. Sake Sampler flight was great introduction to meal w/ clean taste & varrying fruity-aromatic pop. Crab Rangoon & Bang Bang Shrimp starters. Creamy crab in large fried pockets w/ classic sweet dipping sauce (actually prefer the more delicate wontons found at mom & pop Chinese stores). Shrimp, generous portion & crispy-fried, peppered & served w/ spicy aioli. We shoveled them in! Excellent! Chicken Thai Drunken Noodles- familiar chew of rice noodle, julienned veggies, chili, sweet & spicy sauce. Mongolian Beef- savory, salty, hoisin, strips of flank steak, peppers/onions/green onions- delish! Little wait on giant barge of sushi, to include - Mikimoto, Rainbow, New Orleans Shrimp, California...but well worth having patience. Not prepared to speak on each, but flavor, texture, & preparation of all was excellent, both cooked & raw, served w/ accompanying shaved ginger & wasabi.

    I stopped into Mikimotos during happy hour and was underwhelmed by their specials. $1 off $12+ drinks isn't worth a happy hour. They had a few food specials going on but I stuck with a basic hairy Mexican roll. It was a good bite and tastey. The ripped menus and unkept appreance of the dining area was a turn off to me. Service was fine but I won't expect to go back anytime soon.

    The Bang Bang Shrimp were so good I forgot to take the photo before we ate them all. lol

    This was my husband's and daughter's first time at Mikimoto's and they both really enjoyed their food and the ambiance of the restaurant. I have been here many times and didn't realize they hadn't so it was the perfect choice for dinner tonight. We had the Brussels, Bang Bang Shrimp, Seaweed salad, Dumplings and Sushi!!! Hmm hmmm good . They have a great menu with a large variety. I definitely recommend you stop in to try them out. Ask for Jorge!!! He was the best server I've had so far coming to the restaurant!!!

    Crab Rangoon and Flower of Serenity with vodka instead of gin - yum!
    Sandahl T.

    We had a 5 pm reservation and the place was not crowded when we arrived at 10 after. We ordered drinks which took a little while but not a big deal. I ordered a gin drink with lemon from their menu but asked them to use vodka and it was very refreshing! We ordered an appetizer- crab Rangoon which was really good with the red dipping sauce. We then ordered three sushi rolls to split. The first two came out at least 30 or 40 min later, so 6:15ish. The waiter said they made the wrong roll but he wanted to bring us something while they remade it. The Philly roll was tiny, probably the tiniest sushi roll I've ever seen. There were only 6 pieces also which we were a little shocked. The other roll was so-so. It had cooked fish and tempura on the outside. I ordered a glass of wine which was standard. The dinner took a while, and the service was a little slow considering we were probably one of the first reservations. Compared to other times we have eaten there, this experience left us questioning if we should go somewhere else next time for sushi. Also, it was very cold sitting by the front window. The waiter said the temp was set to 67 and he turned it up for us. Why would they keep it freezing on a cold night? They need to evaluate the guest experience.

    Double fantasy

    We haven't been here for awhile. We currently have 3 sushi places on our rotation, but this is our go-to when we want the best sushi or to celebrate something. We sat at the bar and Greta was fantastic. We ordered the Crab Salad, crab stick with seaweed and spicy mayo, Bang Bang shrimp, crispy shrimp with sriracha aioli, Double Fantasy which is lobster tempura, king crab, pepper tuna, and cajun white tuna, and the Hairy Mexican which is fried shrimp, avocado, spicy mayo and crabstick. Everything was on point, we can always depend on Mikimotos. The Asian Pear is my favorite. We weren't considering dessert until Greta convinced us to try the Tempura Brownie Sundae and it was phenomenal. So good that the people sitting next to us ordered it as well.

    We used to come here for lunch in the early 2000s and it was the BEST sushi place EVER!! Today 2 decades later and not so much. A couple of my colleagues and I went for lunch and the service was so slow. Friendly staff, but so slow. We had to take our lunch to go. The appetizer bang bang shrimp was delish and my mikimoto sushi roll was okay, but by no means worth $19 bucks!! My colleagues joked they gave me the child portion. I probably won't be going back there anytime soon. So disappointed, I had fond memories of it long ago.

    Sushi is tasty but the portions are ridiculously small for almost double the cost of local alternatives.

    Is this a place you have to dressed up for or can you where what you want?

    I would definitely say it's a nicer sushi restaurant but you don't need to dress up fully. I wouldnt come straight from working out but day clothes would be acceptable.

We arrived at about 5:30 in the afternoon and it was already crowded. We had to park a couple blocks away, but the weather was nice and cool, so we didn't mind. There was no cover charge, despite a band playing. The band was called The Jimmies, and they played music from the 80s (A Flock Of Seagulls, Billy Idol, Springsteen, Prince, etc.). Although I didn't eat, I noticed they had food for sale (burgers, hot dogs, chicken, etc.). An extensive craft beer selection both on tap and in cans was also offered. I had the Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues brewery and the Hazy-O from Dogfish Head brewery. Both were pretty good. The place was pretty big with lots of tables. In the center were people playing corn hole. There was a sand area for kids to play (beach theme?). Once the sun went down, lights hanging from rope above us were turned on, creating a nice ambiance. For a city that doesn't have much (this came from people who live there, not me), this was a nice way to spend a Saturday night.

We will not be returning unless they accommodate more for families. There is unused space that they could easily put a child's sandpit or even some play stuff. Really disappointed we made the trip out here. We also found scrap metal in the sand area.

During our visits, we had the pan seared salmon, grilled pork chop, crab eggrolls and fried mozzarella. The salmon and pork chop were delicious! The eggrolls had a great crab flavor and a sauce that had a slight kick. There is inside and outside seating. I recommend River Rock Kitchen if you are staying at the hotel or in the area.

The food we had was fine. The mussles and frites were good, I would have thought the fries come with the sauce but they didn't. The risotto was slight malt under seasoned. The beet salad was really tasty! This resturant is always thorough when it comes to allergies. They have a hard time with the two server communication aspect. I've been here twice and both times they seemed one beat off from each other. Also for having two servers they don't check on you often enough. That could also be a communication/timing thing. (if you think someone else was there or not) we only ordered one drink because we didn't want to wait after we finished our food to order another. The drinks here are fantastic though. We dined for 2 hours and only was able to order one drink and apps. We probably would have enjoyed more but personally I didn't have to time sit any longer. I would give them one more try but 202 is a pain and this might not be worth the drive with so many comparable options of fine dining in Wilmington.
