As a professional sushi chef, I decided to try out a local "diamond in the rough" right here in south Brooklyn. The food and Japanese exotic fish including bluefin tuna toro is the same quality as the top NYC sushi and Omakase spots! Chef Kevin never disappoints! A+++ read more

Literally a hole in a wall spot, so easy to miss because all you see is a sign on top of a building, and that's it; no flashy signs, no tacky advertisement to get you to come in, just simple and elegant. I was recommended to try the omikase menu by some family members, and boy did they not disappoint. Our waitress, Sara, was kind, patient, gave us recommended apps and just over all was very attentive to our needs. From wine selection (limited, but that's ok) to apps, and omikase pieces took her time to explain everything and even recommend her favs to which, I was surprised how good it was. Ambiance is very chic and cozy, staff were wonderful. Place wasn't crowded, literally a hidden gem in the heart of southern Brooklyn :) can't wait to come back. Btw, can't remember all the pieces, but can say each one was better than the other. can't wait to come back soon. read more

Best omakase in Brooklyn, sushi chef Kevin is amazing. It's a nice spot for date night, even when I order it's always on point. Highly recommend read more

The food overall was okay. The lobster tacos were really small and I didn't really taste the lobster at all. I was mostly eating avocado. The veggie dumplings were okay, wouldn't get them again. The Chilean Sea Bass was too fishy for my taste. The spicy tuna crispy rice wasn't that good, it just tasted average. I did enjoy the snapper with sea salt and salmon with sautéed tomato. read more

Sushi Mikasa blew my mind &(yes my wallet too). I discovered this place through my Twitter where some high level people travel to what was once long ago my hood. I remember this spot being a dive bar with working ladies many moons ago. I went for lunch yesterday- total for food- $46.82 Miso soup Green salad Spicy tuna over crispy rice Yellow tail Eel avocado Salmon/ sauteed tomato Japanese sea urchin Soup was unremarkable and tofu was mushy. Salad dressing- ginger/onion was outstanding. I am big on this stuff and it was one of the tops. The spicy tuna over rice was delectable so mildly spiced- happy just writing about it. The yellowtail was also delectable. Urchin was a tad funky for me otherwise, the sushi was a standout. There were three other groups of diners here. The place has smoked windows like many Russian spots around here and I am guessing that that is their customer base. On such a nice day it would have been nice to open the doors on this corner spot. The service was very knowledgable. Charging $1 for extra dressing is ingracious at this pricepoint. There is no value here foodwise, Chef Kevin has bucked a major restaurant trend where successful spots depend on the value they offer in this ecomomy. Yes this is outer Brooklyn, but Chef Kevin definitely has quite a following in these parts and far beyond... For food of this caliber you either have it and want to spend it or you don't. read more

Honestly used to be my favorite spot ever ! But this last 8 months there is no consistency! Sometimes the sushi is good other times is sucks and sloppy I'm super confused, management needs to step up and do something about it , you can't have one good roll and soggy crispy rice ! And charge the prices you do ! Quality should always be the same not change Day to day it's ridiculous! Even there spicy mayo is not the same it has a sour Taste !!!!! I used to spend $300 a week here but I sorry not anymore! It's a waste plenty of better places ! read more

Amazing. Incredible. Out of this world. I was expecting good sushi from Mikasa, since I knew they got a chef from Sushi Seki in Manhattan, but we were really blown away. Some of the classic Gari or Seki pieces are taken to the next level here. The salmon with tomato, for example, had this char on it that was just phenomenal. The spicy scallop handroll is one of the best I've ever had. I love that my old neighborhood in Brooklyn now has a place of this caliber. Go for the omakase and put yourself in Chef Kevin's capable hands. They have a really nice private room downstairs. Also, it was night two that they're open and even the service was great. Impressive. read more

After reading some of the reviews here, I just wanted to clarify a few things. This is hands down the best sushi spot currently in Brooklyn (as of January 2014). With regards to price -- yes it's not cheap. But let's be real here, you pay for what you get. The fish is super fresh and I personally have no problem paying for quality. If you are looking for a 50 dollar dinner for two, this isn't the place. I'm not sure why people feel that Brooklyn can't charge these prices. Isn't quality that matters and not location? The portions are small but they are full of flavor. This isn't a place to come to and order the dragon roll as that's not what separates Mikasa from the other spots. Their sushi menu is what keeps the apart. We had their tomato salmon, toro, and yellow jalapeño sushi. All are highly recommended. They have amazing salads. My fiancé and I had the tuna and avocado salad as well as the snow pea salad. Both are highly recommended. Lastly, for desert we shared the Lady M cake. They have several flavors and you can't go wrong with this cake. If you have a craving for quality sushi and don't feel like traveling to the city, then this place is for you. I would recommend this to any of my friends. The price was beyond reasonable. Our entire dinner with tip and two bottles of wine came out to $230. read more

Sushi Mikasa - Salmon Tomato, Kimpachi, Eel avocado, Yellow Jalapeño, and Middle Toro. (From left to right) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Absolute garbage sushi! Not fresh! Small Pieces! Rude russian (though hot teen) service! Prices are Ridiculous! No joke!!! I dont get how russians and other brooklyn sheeple go to this stinkhole? Especially when there are a ton of decent sushi places 5 minutes away on Sheephead bay road. Decor is just ok. You've been warned! read more

Sushi Mikasa is a slam dunk. Easily the best sushi in Brooklyn, if not one of the best I have ever had. I went with a friend, sat down right in front of Chef Dong "Kevin" Yong Chun and allowed him to take us on a culinary adventure through his talented vision and artistry. We started with magura avocado, spicy tuna crispy rice and the yellowtail jalapeno. All were original, fresh and left you begging for more. The texture of the crispy rice with the fresh spicy tuna topping was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The thinly sliced yellowtail with razor thin jalapeno slices in a delicious sauce just melts in your mouth and gives off just the right amount of heat. I've never been a big fan of scallops, but the spicy scallop hand roll was a treat. No need for soy, the flavor is bursting out of this amazing roll. Chef Kevin continued to dazzle our pallets all night with a perfect seared salmon, monkfish liver saute, Tempura lobster, and much much more.. Everything we eat was absolutely delicious! This place gets busier, the later it gets, but if you really want to have a fine dining experience come before 8pm and have a seat at the bar. Let Chef Kevin take your meal in his hands. You will not be disappointed. read more

I worked here for 4 days. Just so you all know, they take the tips of waitresses. Pretty much rich customer dominated restaurant meaning we were getting big tips. Those tips were not split amongst the waitresses. Instead they were taken.. Super rude waitresses and super rude manager. It was a shit show of 4 days, although it felt like much longer! read more

I worked here for a few months and it was dreadful. I'd cry before coming in because the staff was terrible and it'd be so busy. We have to pay for our meals and if the cook doesn't like us he will watch us put in our meal and throw away the ticket. The waitresses are bitches and for sure talk shit about you, they do their job tho. the tips they receive does not go to them, it goes to the store owner and that's not right at all. You have teens running your store and you're taking their tips. This place is terrible, terrible people very sad read more

Great Sushi Not overly expensive Good Service Fresh Fish always Good for a date spots, or a quick dinner with friends. Sauted tomato peice is the way to go read more

Came to your restaurant today, That's a nice place, good food, but PLEASE change your waiter lol. I use to go to sushi restaurants 3-4 times in a week, but would never come back in here. Waiter probably Russian (I am russian-speaking as well) who told me she is a manager was super rude since I came in. Im not even talking about folding my glass and pouring the drink, Im absolutely fine with doing it myself though. But checking my table every single minute and not even taking the dishes I don't need anymore. She came to my table around 15 times (Im not even joking) and when I asked does she really have to do that, cz I felt like I have to leave faster, she said "yes, how am I suppose to see from there"? In a very rude manner. Then she went to her co-workers to discuss it and they started laughing on me TOGETHER! Lol. Almost infront of me, and I could hear that! Left a tips, but also a note, that it was my worst service ever! Hope to never comeback again but I work in a next buoldin ;( Other people including chief were nice and when I dropped my sticks (Cz I was super nervous because of the waiter) chief kindly told me to get a new one! The only bad experience is a waiter! And also at the end when I get my change back She didn't even put the check on my table, she put it to the NEXT table lol. I mean you don't have to be super nice, but just don't be super rude to your customers, that's enough! And as I mentioned in a check note, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CUSTOMER, DON'T SHOW IT! And once again!) Read it till you learn it, young "lady"! :) P.S. Usually I am a nice person but not this time, sorry. :) read more

I just had the privilege of dining here and as full as I am, I am still thinking about how good my dinner experience just was. I'm visiting from Miami so I like to think that my tastebuds are accustomed to great sushi - Sushi Mikasa did not disappoint - it actually triumphed. Everything was extremely fresh and as a little girl, I happily (and surprisingly myself) packed it in. The Toro with grilled onion was insane, the poke bowl was indescribably fresh, and the scallop was perfection (which isn't an easy feat). I'm jealous Brooklyn has this local gem bc I want it for myself. I genuinely don't think you can go wrong here - families, date night, solo mission - I'll make my way back for sure! read more

Recieved a wonderful compliment from the owner (great manners). Thank You 2/20/2012 New! For your review of: Sushi Mikasa Seems to me with a review like that, only clown running around is uuuuuuuuuuuu. You clearly have no sense of quality and expertise! You dont derserve to have Sushi Mikasa, you should be black listed! Fool! From Kelly B. Brooklyn, NY read more

Okay anyone that gave this place a 5 star review clearly has no sense of how much one should spend on sushi in return for what you get. Here's the gist: I just paid $8 for a california roll, excuse me but WHAT?! This is BROOKLYN not rooftop in manhattan. Also, why are there russian waiters and waitresses working in a japanese place? Also anything you want to add to your roll is an additional $1.. so like if you want to avocado to your cucumber roll (to make it an avocado cucumber roll) this well end up costing you a total of $9. REALLY? Do you know how many avocados, cucumbers and how much rice I can buy for $9. I'm not one to be cheap at all- but this is beyond absurd. REALLY awesome sushi in brooklyn costs maximum $3 a roll. The sushi here is decent - it's not THREE times as great as anywhere else. Actually, I've had much better shrimp tempura rolls. I really don't care if they have a celebrity chef - not what I'm looking for. Sushi is all about great fish, tightly rolled together in a beautiful way, served to me a smiling japanese guy with a free cup of green tea, and a decent price. My friend and I each had a green salad, she had 1 roll and I had 2 and the bill came out to $38 (not counting tip). By the way green salad for $7, what kind of magical lettuce are you using?! Also the ginger/onion sauce they put into the salad had an obnoxiously strong flavor and I couldn't even eat the whole thing. Overall - this place is trying to act like it's a Manhattan restaurant. News flash: you're on Gravesend Neck Road!!! Never cheating on Mitoushi again! read more

if you have read my reviews you will understand that i know my sushi, and that i do not just do drive by shoot up reviews... this place is a joke, my order sucked. 0 out of 10. nothing more to say read more

Love Me Some Sushi Mikasa I usually don't sit at the sushi bar because I like a bit of privacy but Chef kevin is so delightful and entertaining. We actually had my boyfriend eating raw pieces of fish other than tuna !!! It's a very small neighborhood spot. Fish is probably the freshest you will find in brooklyn. I will be eating here often. read more

The sushi is good but not great, the sushi is only reasonably fresh, and the prices are ridiculous! I spent nearly $100 and was so hungry afterwards I walked to McDonald's. This is a place where you come to be seen, not for the food. Friday and Saturday nights there are Bentelys, Range Rovers, Porches, endless MB S-classes and the occasional Ferrari parked out front. It's just schmooze fest. If you're not into the Russian look-at-me scene, you're much better off at the numerous other sushi joints in the neighborhood. read more

CROOKS!!! Just made the mistake of ordering delivery for 4 people. $220 was quoted for "special platter for 3, 2 extra rolls & an order of Chilean Sea Bass. 20 pieces of mediocre sushi, microscopic Sea Bass arrived & my call to the owner was met with arrogance. Never Again read more

I'm torn about my review about this place. It clearly innovative and unique, as far as sushi goes. The dishes are not your typical gyoza, eel avacado roll, and green tea ice cream selection (although they have that too). The food is excellent but the dishes are all small and VERY overpriced. I had the snow pea salad, the spicy tuna on crispy rice, the sea bass skewers, and finally the strawberry crepe cake. Everything was great!!! If you need a sushi fix, I would say go elsewhere but if you just got paid and are looking for a unique delicious meal of creative small plates, come here. read more

Best place in Brooklyn. Here once a week. Stephanie is a sweetheart and Kevin is on top of his game.

Where do I begin? I will judge harshly because when you charge city prices, you better deliver.. presentation: avocado salad: first thing you notice the salad dressing looks like it was barfed on the salad, never seen anything like this. Lobster tacos : 98% avocado , with 4-5 dots of possibly lobster. Can't even tell. Not chucks, dots. Presentation again sucked too, they were rested on a piece of unpeeled cucumber. Looked funny. Next: sushi- ordered best pieces of a la cart menu: otoro was good, salmon with seared tomato ok , snapper which usually has a very smooth texture and taste smelled and tasted fishy. Lastly: handrolls : spicy tuna was just terrible and spicy scallop, was brought warm and even though we expected raw , was brought soo overly cooked it tasted like rubber. Disgusting. And at the end, my husband found a bone in spicy salmon . At that point, we sent all handrolls away and decided this is the first and last visit. We felt so disgusted , we went and bought other food just to get over the horrible experience. Never again. read more

Premium sushi in Brooklyn. No one in Midwood has this quality and selection of fish. A must try! It's pricey but it's worth it if when enjoy quality sushi and not your basic California rolls and rolls doused in sauce and spicy mayo. I'm a fan!!! See you soon read more

Sushi Mikasa - Top delivery!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The fish is fresh. It's definitely more expensive than your run of the mill sushi place in brooklyn, but you're not coming here for a california roll or philly roll you're coming here for something different. They will charge you more for a philly roll simply bc it's not what they specialize in, even though they can make it, they'll charge you $9. City prices yes but you're getting quality fish and something new. My favorites : Spicy Scallop hand roll, Salmon seared tomato piece, chopped eel avacado piece, bonito piece, and lobster tempura, maguro avocado salad. If you're in the mood for city style sushi, and you're coming here be prepared to spend, if you're coming really hungry, be prepared to spend more. read more

This is strength up authentic sushi place in Brooklyn. Price is not cheap but worth every $$$. Besides chief makes you feel at home. You get exactly what you paid 4. You dont come here 4 service which is ok. But food compensates. read more

Never been inside the place, never going to. However, I ordered seamless and it was hands down the worst delivery experience ever and on top of that I literally paid almost $60 for practically no food. Their "special shrimp tempura" roll is 6 measly pieces consisting of literally tempura dipped shrimp and they charge $7 for it. So what in the world makes it special? Beats me! But here is then delivery story. Guy calls me (Russian accent) "hey, food is outside." I go, "OK, coming." I open the front door and see some dude in a white mini van sitting in it not even looking like he's about to come out. So I close the door and go back upstairs. He calls me back "Food is here!" I come outside again. He is still sitting in the van, but looking at me. Now, I already paid him a tip so I'm not about to walk outside with no coat on, walk up to his car and pick up my own food because that defeats the purpose of delivery. So I'm still standing at the door when he finally acknowledges me and goes - "Food delivery!" I say "I know, are you going to actually bring it?" He makes the most outraged facial expression I ever saw and goes "I. Bring it?!" I go "YEAH! That's why I gave you a tip." So he gets out of the car, walks up a flight of stairs and practically throws the bag at me. OMG!!!!!! Now, it's one thing if he called and said "Look, I'm sorry, I have a hard time walking up the stairs, please come get the food." But to blatantly act like it's so beneath you to ACTUALLY deliver the food to my door - never seen and I order a lot of food. Sorry I spent the money here but I like to learn from my mistakes. read more

Sushi Mikasa - $60 "meal" consisting mostly of vegetarian sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Everything was disgusting starting from the Russian nasty girl on the phone to the order making and last but not least the delivery guy expected me to come outside of my condo to come downstairs and leave my infant upstairs because he didn't feel like coming upstairs. Called me and said I'm downstairs and hung up the phone. Came upstairs and said something like " I don't know how to make a delivery to not poor people. I am a normal human being and people deserve to be treated with respect especially when they pay for it. I never ever write bad reviews but I seriously don't recommend anyone order from here EVER! I don't even think this deserves a 1 star. Paid 78 dollars for absolutely garbage service and food. Business owner needs to know what goes on. This is not ok. read more

A great addition to Brooklyn for quality sushi without having to go to the city. The place is small and may get packed at times but the fish is amazing and fresh. Its a sceney community restaurant your bound to run into someone you know. And also it is a bit pricey (city prices for brooklyn food) Definitely be sure to order the maruga avocado salad and the tuna salad for starters. The sea bass skewers, tuna tacos and miso cod lettuce wraps are my favorite things on the menu. DON'T ORDER ROLLS - get the special pieces. Seared King Salmon ,Salmon Seared Tomato, yellowtail Jalapeño and kachapi, o-toro (or any toro at that) You wont be disappointed, read more

I stopped in here with my husband randomly because we were in the mood for sushi. He told me the chef is the same chef from sushi seki, so I was kind of excited being from Long Island and not having to take a trip to the city for seki style sushi. The fish hands down is fresh and delicious. Every piece is seared, marinated, or sautéed perfectly. The only downside is Ira very expensive you def pay Nyc prices for a Brooklyn establishment, but the fish is exceptional. I would recommend this place if you enjoy omakase style or fresh pieces. read more

This is by my opinion one if the beat sushi restaurant in Brooklyn. I had some very tasty rolls from the menu and then Sushi chef offered to us few pieces of sushi, Wow!!!! Super! I love this place and now when we going to Mikasa, we only ordering his special pieces. The Best! read more

It was Wednesday evening around 11:00 and i really wanted to eat sushi, it's late time most sushi place at this time closed and i search on internet and found this place and ordered delivery, OMG i could not imagine what the sushi could be so tasteless, no absolutely tasteless, it was my worst experience. read more

This is the most disgusting sushi i have ever eat! Not worth the money! Very expensive but very small portions. Fushimi restaurant is much better and cheaper. I do not recommend this place. read more

Best sushi in BK/NY! Me and my lady are regulars at mikasa. We have a seat by the bar over 2 times a week and always walk out stuffed to the extent where were trying to grasp for air.. The chef is great (Kevin) sushi is amazing and the waiters are at your service at all times! P.S try the mint fluke tempura sushi piece !! read more

I want to rate this place higher, but given my experience in Sushi I cannot. This is your typical, overpriced, show-off/impress your date type of place. Food is good, not great. It's creative in nature and not your typical green tea ice cream and rainbow roll kind of place. read more

I don't usually rate places but this is a real experience of kitchen nightmares, my shrimp tempura roll was soaked in oil and don't get me wrong I've been in sushi places around NYC before. The rice is really oily and my California roll which had crab sticks inside reminded me of cheap crab sticks that i buy at Chinese fish store which were frozen for years before. Overall once we entered there was no host, the waiter told us to sit anywhere but we were not given any menus, i had to ask for it after 10 mins. read more

This is definitely the best sushi in Brooklyn hands down thanks to chef Kevin. Although it is a hidden location that no one really knows about, Mikasa is just perfection. The hand rolls taste really fresh and the appetizers are really good as well. However, this place is too expensive so I only indulge rarely but I more than satisfied with every visit. read more

Can't make online reservations. Got there the place was empty and they wouldn't seat us. To get turned down by a small time place like this means we won't try again. So many better sushi places in the area. Try Mitoushi in sheepshead bay. read more

Went here the other day after looking forward to see what Kevin had in store for us. From first look I was impressed by the decor. Very modern and nice looking. I sat at the bar and was served by Kevin. The first thing I had was the Tuna & Avocado salad (a favorite starter of mine). I was rather disappointed by it. I, along with my friend, experienced the taste of not so fresh fish from one of our bites. The avocado wasn't cut into cubes but rather random pieces of various sizes. It came to the point where I just stopped eating it because I couldn't lift the avocado anymore. The sauce used for it had a bit to much soy and not enough wasabi. He gave us the white fish "fries" - which is basically a light battered, funnel cake, type of thing. It was nice - I liked it. There was no sauce for it, which is fine, but it would go well with maybe a ponzu sauce. Pieces: *Tuna Tofu - not enough tofu sauce *Salmon with Sauteed Tomato - the tomato wasn't as juicy, still a good piece though *Red Snapper Salt - he used himalayan salt, it was a nice kick instead of the sea salt used elsewhere *Kampachi with Jalapeno Sauce - fresh, nothing bad to say *Medium Toro with Green Sauce - fresh, enjoyed it very much, nothing bad to say *Monkfish Liver - I was happy that they had it. Very generous portion size, nothing bad to say *Sauteed Piper Fish - it's basically sauteed white fish. It was good. Was never big on the sauteed white fish though. *Spicy Scallop Hand Roll - on point. I was very happy with the roll. I prefer Seki's version of it to Gari's and as of late I haven't been impressed with Seki's. So having a good one here really made me happy. The scallop wasn't to hot, had just enough crunch, full of the sauce and best part of all - the seaweed did not get saggy and greasy. The most expensive piece was the toro, obviously. It was $9. The spicy scallop hand roll was $7. The other piece ranged from $3.50-$5.00 each. I know this due to the bill actually telling you what you ate and what the price was. Finally! I didn't have a problem with the service. I can't say it was extraordinary, but I didn't need that. My only complaint would be that during the time we had appetizers no one offered us little plates to eat the food. It was obvious that we were sharing and a plate would have been nice. Instead we passed the dishes around to one another. Also, the napkins...they aren't the type that you fold out onto your lap - which is fine - but instead just a regular paper napkin - again, not a problem - but it would be nice if they offered us a new napkin. Or had some on the table for us to take. Truth be told I will probably only come here on one of those weekdays when driving far for sushi just seems like a hassle. Because at the end of the day, I still paid a lot for my meal and when I walk outside I'm on Neck Road one block way from the precinct. The 10-15% I saved plus gas just isn't worth it. T read more
