The others in our group wanted filet and chicken which was not an option on the menu but they accommodated without issue. We had more than enough food and took some home for lunch the next day. Staff was efficient and accommodating. Nice stop.

To celebrate my kids' birthdays, we made reservations at Mikado. We first stopped to see the…read moreflamingos, then took the boats to the restaurant. The place was almost empty and they squished us in with another family, which made it somewhat uncomfortable. Our waitress was also extremely rude. She immediately asked to take our orders- before we even had time to sit down. She spoke too fast and seemed stressed or angry, or like she was rushing us out. I didn't appreciate feeling like I was taking up space- she made us feel unwelcome. Despite this, we took our time and ordered drinks, which were nice and strong (albeit overpriced) The menu is also expensive, and although we ordered nothing out of the ordinary, our bill was over $300.00. The food tasted fine. No complaints there. We enjoyed watching our chef cook in front of us and the overall experience was a memorable one. Nevertheless the kids had a fun evening, and I made the best of it, but I will not be returning. At that price point there are many better food options in the Palm Desert area.

Went for an anniversary dinner and early Father's Day. Put it in the reservation and told server, IT WAS NOT acknowledged at all. The meat had freezer burn and everything was HEAVY salted.

The show was lackluster, he could not even spin the egg. Would not return here. Don't do it. Expensive for what you get.

It came together perfectly with the sides and felt like a complete, comforting meal. Everything on the plate tasted fresh and well prepared. The spicy tuna roll was a nice addition. Clean flavors with just enough spice, and it balanced out the richness of the katsu. The restaurant has a calm, casual feel and it's easy to sit and enjoy your food. Staff was friendly and attentive, and service was smooth. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a solid Japanese meal.

We ordered too late so takeout was the only option. We tried the ribeye and salmon combo as well as the chicken and shrimp hibachi combo. We also ordered a Dynamite roll, California and a Shrimp Tempura roll. The hibachi items were okay. We were hungry and it seemed to fit the bill. The salmon was a bit salty and the ribeye was a little dry. The shrimp was fine but the chicken was a little bland. You get a white spicy sauce with it, unsure if you drizzle or dip. It didn't add much more flavor, just a little kick. The rolls were standard. The Dynamite sounded so appealing with the soy rice paper, but overall it was average. The white spicy sauce was drizzled over it plus the Dynamite is already a spicy roll to begin with, so be forewarned. For the chef to have lived in Japan and have extensive experience in Japanese restaurants, the expectation was a bit higher. Our whole order was $82 but they do add a surcharge which is the cost to pay with your credit card. Side note: It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when businesses charge you this fee bc to me it's their cost of doing business. Businesses never used to do this, but seemed to have pivoted to this after covid. They should just build it into the cost of the food. Anyway, overall this place was a good change of pace for the offerings in Palm Desert, but unsure if I would return here.

The space is much larger than it appears, and the impressive wine selection immediately stood out. We were warmly welcomed by Mitch himself, which set the tone for the evening. We chose to sit on the patio, where we enjoyed a beautiful sunset--made even better when the staff kindly lowered the umbrellas so we could take it all in. For dinner, I had the sticky rice and the 808 sushi roll, both of which were outstanding, while my husband ordered the pork chop and loved it. To top it off, we were surprised with a complimentary flourless chocolate cake for dessert, and it was absolutely decadent. The service throughout the night was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. We even had the chance to say goodbye to Mitch and his wife on our way out, which added a personal touch.
