Last night my husband and I went on a dining adventure. Typically, when we eat sushi we order-in from a few different local places. But last night we decided to visit Mikado, a long-standing neighbourhood favourite that came highly recommended.
We walked in to this small, quiet restaurant and were instantly transformed. Led to the back room, it was suggested that we take off our boots before climbing into our booth (literally climbing in). There were pairs of slippers under the table to keep our toes warm.
Mikado has been serving the Leaside neighbourhood since 1978 and it's no wonder why....
The sushi, sashimi and special rolls were all incredibly fresh and filled with amazing flavours. The edamame was melt-in-your-mouth good and salted to perfection and the lightly battered tempura veggies were delicious.
The service was impeccable (despite a slight language barrier) and the owner visited our table to ensure our experience was a positive one.
For anyone in the area, I'd certainly recommend Mikado.
