"Mikado Japanese Restaurant is nice and homey.... \n\nStepping inside takes me back in time and across the oceans, feels like I am in a small restaurant in a small Japanese village 30 years + ago... Hey it is not a bad thing.. as it does have its traditional charm. \n\nEven the waitress and the sushi chefs and the kitchen help all dressed in the more traditional clothings.. they wear it like everyday clothes not like a costumes in some other restaurants. \n\nLunch Specials from $9.99 Bento Box which comes in a separate sheet and the usual Lunch menu. \n\nFuji Lunch with Ice cream ($14.99) \n- You have a choice of Egg Drop Soup or Miso Soup.. My Miso Soup was A-OK \n- Salad with ginger dressing.. so so... why most of the places I been to have to drown their fresh green in dressing that makes me really not understand, so I will request, dressing on the side from now on \n- 9 pcs Sushi - 3 cucumber rolls/3 tuna roll/Salmon/Tuna/Shrimp nirgri A-OK.. the seaweed is crispy and have a great flavour. The fish are good and fresh.. the Shari rice is standard.. I found it a little hard did not Wow me \n- Shrimp and Veggie Tempura the choice of veggie is really good: green bean, cauliflower, yam, broccoli, eggplant and pepper.. love the veggie. The Shrimp is really fresh, moist..and tender.. but the batter is a little heavy to my liking \n- ice cream you have a choose for green tea, vanilla and black seasame.. hmmm black seasame always my fave! Great to have that as one of the selections! \n\nPortion is a little small.. I feel like I just started eating after having that.. maybe I have to order more!! :) \n\nServices here is nice and friendly.. Japanese lady is so high energy, talking in her high pitch voice..like a happy little girl! :P \n\nBTW there are no cellphone signs everywhere on the wall, on the hot water heater.. everywhere I look. \n\nI would definitely recommend Mikado if you have craving for a authentic and traditional Japanese experience.. here you will get excellent Japanese services and food and even sitting at the tatami room at the back.\n\n3.5 star"^^ .
