| - Like other reviewers, I agree that Miko's has gone way downhill. I had been there once before a few years ago, and I remember enjoying the food and the place. This time, I thought everything about my dining experience was pretty bad - bad tasting food, expensive prices, and boring teppanyaki "show".
The sushi was terrible. After waiting for 30 minutes (and the place was empty), my fiance's sashimi came out . It was not worth the wait as it was super fishy tasting. He thought that it came from the freezer, yuck. I had a big roll, which in my opinion, was definitely not "big". The only big thing on it was the many layers of tempura batter. I felt like I was eating all breading. I also did not like that the little bit of unagi sauce on the roll had carmelized before gettting to me, weird. Even though the roll was half off, I felt it was over-priced for the 6 small pieces that I received.
Since we were with a large group for a friend's birthday, we also had teppanyaki. We received salad (gross dressing!) and egg drop soup (ok). The rice that the chef made was pretty good, though very heavy on the onions. He also gave us a cream sauce that reminded me of honey mustard. While I liked the sauce, I don't feel it went well with anything - maybe I could have used it on my salad to improve the taste! The chef putting on our little "show" was uninteresting, awkward, and boring. For my meal, I split the filet and shrimp with my fiance, and even the shrimp tasted too fishy. I'm sure this is standard, but I had to pay an extra $16 to split my fiance's meal. Everyone assured me that it was worth it because of all the food I got....hmm....I don't consider a small bowl of soup, a crappy salad , and some rice to be that much food.
Everything about the experience was negative. I struggled with giving them one or two stars. In the end, I went with one star because I honestly will never return there. While I've rated other restaurants as twos, I still have hope that maybe sometime I will return and my experience and food will be better....but everything here was so overwhelmingly negative, that I really don't think I will ever go back. Sad.
