BEST FOOD hands down!.
I have went to Mikados on many occassions. I have a craving like no other when it comes to Mikados, matter of fact I am going tonight :-) The atmosphere is great, the Chefs are funny....and the
entire staff are all personable. I dont understand why people want to downgrade this place. It is great for all occassions and even for no occassions at all. I even go there (send my husband) to get a bottle of their salad dressing, cause I dont like the dressings in stores since I have been "turned on" to Mikado's salad dressing.
To all the people that whine about their feelings were hurt by a Chef "bully" grow up and stop being so sensitive, that was their job, it wasnt personal....FOH!…
Best Hibachi in my opinion. They are great, I know the owners and some of the chefs we go so much. I love the rice and steak sauce. The mai tais are cheap and excellent. I would recommend it to anyone. however, i did have (1) isolated bad experience. I arrived 30 mins before close and they wouldnt seat me. Of course they manager seen it was my family and tried to seat us. but i was so p'd off that we left and didnt go back for almost a yr. When i seen the bartender at a gas station one night, she mentioned that they felt so bad about that night. I mean, im a customer and they remember ME almost a yr later! so i gave em another chance, and its been great since. hope you can experience it. Ask for Bruce to be your chef!…
Great amosphere. Like most hibachi grills, the atmosphere is quite aoothing... A lirele escape from buy life. They don't have any sushi, however, but their other selections are great
reunitied with an old favorite flame. I used to go to Mikado with my family when I was younger but for no specific reason I never got a chance to make it out there as I would have liked to. I do specifically remember their ginger sauce that went on the salads. Since then, I always compare their sauce with other japanese restaurants and it just does not match up to Mikado's. I was recently asked to go there with a friend and it was like being back at home. Not only was the sauce just as I remembered but the food was beyond satisfaction, accompanied by a very reasonable tab for the quality of food. As far as service goes, I have worked in the restaurant business for a number of years therefore there are certain things I expect when I go out to eat. The service you recieve at a restaurant can make or break the place and I could not have been more satisfied. The chefs were hilarious, servers were friendly and not overbearing, bartender kept a great conversation going, and even the host was very polite and took great care of us. I feel bad for not coming back sooner, but I will definitely make up for it in the future. No complaints here!…
Mediocre Japanese food at best..
Having been to several Japanese-style steak houses, when I moved to Nashville I was eager to find a good one here. Unfortunately the first I happened upon was Mikado. The boast often about their 25
years of service. The building's condition definitely reflects 25 years of existence, with little in the way of upkeep/maintenance. The place looks like it's been closed down for the better part of the decade. Still, though, I've had a great number of wonderful experiences with ethnic food in less then opulent settings, so I persevered.
The first think you see when you enter the foyer of the restaurant is a conveniently placed menu. The prices are INSANE. The cheapest protein-containing dish is $17 for chicken. The average price for an entree is roughly $21. For that much money - call me cheap - I expected DELICIOUS food and significant portions. One of my favorite things about Japanese steak houses is that the portions tend to be significant enough to last for a dinner and lunch the next day. I was disappointed in the measly size of the entree. It started with soup - which I assume was supposed to represent miso soup. It was, in fact, chicken broth with a raw slice of mushroom. It's salt-level was somewhere between Atlantic and Pacific. The salad was bland; it consisted of soggy iceberg lettuce adorned with fast-food quality croutons (croutons in a Japanese-style salad? A first for me) drenched in about a cup of an unidentifiable salad dressing. I ordered the steak and shrimp combo, my friend ordered shrimp and scallop. We watched as the chef placed the seafood on the hibatchi and cooked it. And cooked it. And cooked it some more. My shrimp had the consistency of old chewing gum. My friends scallops? Used, re-treaded tires. The highlight of the meal was the orange sherbet at the end with the fortune cookie. I implore anyone looking for Japanese food to find somewhere else in Nashville to satisfy such cravings.…
