Things we REALLY enjoyed:- Our waiter. He had such a warm, funny, friendly personality. He was honest about the menu items and what he thought were top notch (many, of which we chose) and was very attentive to our needs whilst being the only server on the floor. We even stayed late to chat with him after our dinner because he was a great conversationalist. He was fun.-The Fatty Salmon Nigiri. Holy crud, this was so good it literally felt like it was melting in our mouths. They had a SOLID cut of this and I recommend trying it out.- The Crouching Tiger & Yoshi Roll. Both the fish in these rolls were extremely fresh and the roll itself was compact and clean. We really enjoyed these two rolls to share.- The ambience. It was dim, lots of little details and decore to look at, and we got a booth, which was great!Things that were "meh":- Fried Calamari app. Eh... I mean, I think the squid was probably okay but the batter was fairly thick. The sauce that came with it was good.- The Lychee Martini. I LOVE lychee and I almost always get it if it's on the menu. While it tasted fine, they lacked serving the actual lychee along with the alcohol. I was really saddened by this and think of it as almost a requirement for this martini. It would be like serving a dirty martini without the olive. Le sigh.- The finish on the table. Not sure if this is an easy fix, but our table was soooo sticky. I believe it was wiped down properly, maybe just some weird finish that made it sticky?? It was a minor annoyance but needed to put it out there.

Our old favorite place closed down so we decided to try this sushi place. We recently ordered takeout from here. The sushi fish quality ranged from slightly fishy to good. The rice however that I ordered on the size was disgusting and I had to spit it out. I'm not sure what happened but it was like they took rice, poured water into it until it was a little too soupy, and then let it sit for days on the counter. Unfortunately this lack of quality assurance really ruined the meal for me.My partner who picked up the food also noticed that although the inside of the place was cute, it smelled strongly of cleaning product mixed with a fishy smell.Can't say this will be our new go to...

I got the worst food poisoning I've ever had from Mikado this weekend. It was the only thing I ate on Friday and I spent the entire weekend in the bathroom. It's now Sunday and I'm only just now well enough to write this review. Agonizing experience. Huge bummer because the reviews were great and I was really excited to try a new spot. What I ordered:Garlic EdamameMadai NigiriFatty Tuna NigiriChoroshi's Fire

Good sushi spot. Not my top 5, but still good. Nice and quiet and good ambiance insideThe sushi rolls were really good. The sushi nigiri was also good. The only thing is that the nigiri salmon was said to be wild, but I highly doubt it was as I have had a lot of wild salmon and it just didn't taste the same.Would check this place out if you are looking for good mid priced sushi

Highly recommend this place! Sashimi is really fresh, no fishy odor. Service is outstanding. Staff are attentive, courteous, and very professional. They gave us free miso soup and complimentary margarita when moscow mule was not available. Margarita was really good, which I found surprising for a Japanese restaurant. Ambiance is clean, minimalistic, spacious, peaceful. Great place to eat lunch/dinner with friends, coworkers, and family.

One of the most solid sushi places in Austin that I tried so far. I had the spider roll, Teresa, dejavú and el dorado. My favorites had to be Teresa and el dorado. Definitely will be trying more sushi from this place.

Always always always always always always deliver and on point at Mikado Ryand Hokkaido Scallops Nigiri and Salmon Nigiri, austin roll, caterpillar roll, mikado roll, garlic edamame (requested nonspicy), hottie Susan, and chorishis fire roll. They have the best salmon nigiri and the fish still melts in your mouth! My favorite restaurant and the waiter employee Nelson is always so kind to us! I have nothing but good things to say about Mikado! I've been going her for years and recommend everyone I know because their sushi is amazing !

Service at Mikado is outstanding and the variety of choices make this place one of my favorites. Mikado is an old local institution here in Austin and one that deserves our support. I wish they could do some renovations to their facilities

What happened to this place? It used to be SO GOOD!The last time I was here, before my recent visit, was probably around 12-13 years ago when the super white tuna was plump, fresh, and would overhang on a little lump of rice-- how a perfect piece of nigiri should be. This time it was tough, tiny, and honestly, I was so sad. I have no idea what went down through these years, but it must have been some shit, because the sushi tasted like it's been sitting there for weeks.Used to think so highly of this place, but damn, it has gone downhill to the max. Is it the economy? Are we skimping on fresh fish? --keeping it longer than advised? Ugh.Ambience is still ok and service is acceptable, but sadly, I likely won't be back.
