Very good food. The crab puffs and gyoza were amazing (I am not a big fan of raw fish). My boyfriend loved the sushi and nigiri as well. Great service and super fast to serve the food.

My family and I are visiting in Waco, TX. Our family consists of 2 older daughters, a 2 year old daughter and 1 year old son. This is the first vacation we’ve had as a complete family. We planned to travel to Austin to celebrate our 2 older daughter’s July birthday’s so shopping and dinner was a must. We are from a small town in Oklahoma and have never been to Austin. Upon looking up reviews, we came across Mikado Ryotei. The location is very easy to get to and once we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly smile from Jenny. We had our hands full so she helped with grabbing high chairs for both little ones and we got into a conversation. I told her we brought our girls here to celebrate their birthdays, one had already passed and the other is the 28th. Jenny came out and surprised each of our children with strawberry flavored Ramune to celebrate! My mouth dropped, it was the sweetest gesture-you never see this nowadays! We ordered beef bulgogi, different types of sushi, K-pop chicken, vegetable tempura and edamame. Everything was so fresh and mouth watering! My favorite sushi roll was the Shangri La, filling and so creamy. Jenny brought toddler silverware so our babies could eat with what fit their little hands and mouths better. Once my little family finished eating, I look up and Jenny is coming out with spoons, dessert and candles lit! We sang to them, I was trying to record it and Jenny took my phone so I could be a part of it! I was so excited! Then we all got to dig into the yummy sweets. After all of our bellies were full, we got to talk with Jenny and she told us of different places to go see in Dallas, since we told her we are planning to visit there too. Before we left, we got to talk to another sweet lady and a very kind gentleman. Their smiles will get your heart so warm. This is a small family owned business and we are all about supporting them. I wish I had gotten names but the babies started to get tired and fussy, it became rush time to head back to Waco to get them a bath and bed. It was the most amazing experience, the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was beautiful and yet, comfortable. We don’t get to go out much so the fact that this restaurant is VERY family friendly meant so much to us. I cannot recommend Mikado Ryotei enough. Thank you all for making our girls birthdays one to remember forever more. It’s the little things that mean the most to us. We will definitely be making the trip to visit again. ❤️❤️

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.

Good sushi spot with a huge selection of rolls, Sashimi, and Nigiri. I came on a Sunday night and immediately got a table. My wife and I shared the love boat for two and we’re plenty full afterwards. Get two rolls with the love boat so we got the Hottie Susan and angel whisper. Both great, but the Susan was superior - nice spice level and crunch! I will be returning soon! Note: they do not offer the all day happy hour on Sunday when I went.

I’ve always ordered from here but never dined in. My friend and I waited about 25 minutes for a table, which is a pretty good deal for a busy Friday night. The manager was so sincerely apologetic for our wait, but we didn’t mind at all since we knew the food was worth it. Once we ordered, the rolls were out within 20 minutes. I got the sushi combo with the rock n roll and had a good bit leftover for a snack later. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Love this place for dine in or take-out. One of the places I can get good uni and scallops nigiri and, they do a really good spicy salmon skin hand roll that is not on the menu. The staff are really helpful and the chefs are creative. Prep is done well. My “go to” place.

The Buddha roll (steamed) could make a vegan out of me yet! Spicy garlic edamame, hamachi chilli and an order of masago nigiri round out our weekly order. Delicious!

Fresh fish. Quick service. Comfy booth. Hottie Susan roll wasn't that spicy, rather tame actually,. Liked the riceless option of Austin roll. Cheesecake looked great and not heavy.

My family and I recently visited Mikado for dinner, and we were greeted by two friendly gentlemen who showed us to our seats. As the only customers at that moment, we had their undivided attention. After we received our menus and glasses of water, we were ready to order. However, the waiters were also busy attending to takeout and phone orders, which slowed down the service. We had our kids with us who needed to be entertained, so we asked for the wifi password, which the staff kindly provided. Despite the wait, the food at Mikado was definitely worth it. We ordered the shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura, and they were both delicious! The tempura batter was light and crispy, and the shrimps and vegetables were cooked to perfection. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Mikado, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in the area. The only downside was the slight delay in service, but the food was definitely worth it. We will definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere and pleasant service. Reasonable prices for the most part. I thought the rainbow roll was quite good, but I wasn’t a fan of the salmon or firedragon rolls. I can’t pinpoint the exact fault in the salmon roll, but I just didn’t like its taste or texture. The firedragon roll seemed like it was bathed in maple syrup it was so sweet for me. I’m not a fan of super-sweet sushi.

I haven't been to Mikado since 2021. We decided to go recently and I wasn't disappointed but I also wasn't thrilled. First of all, the Sunday happy hour doesn't exist anymore. Also, the menu has gotten much shorter and cleaner - I guess that's a good thing but I must say, the previous menu was very elegant and had some great choices. MUST HAVE --> Spicy garlic edamame and hamachi chili/crudo. Both were really excellent. The edamame was enough to almost fill me up without paying a bunch of money. The crudo was really fresh and light -- I like the pop of slight spiciness from the small peppers. EH (don't worry if you miss these) --> 16 piece sashimi platter and Kanpachi sashimi. I've recently had sashimi at Tatsumi, TenTen, and Uchiko -- this doesn't compare at all. The sashimi is clean and fresh, which is great but there's no creativity. It's straight fish. So if you're looking for straight-up fish, this will suit you well. The Kanpachi sashimi was a special for the day. The texture was weird. The fish didn't have the "bite" of fresh fish. It was gummy and even stuck to the roof of my mouth. I'm not sure if this is the typical texture but I wouldn't order this again. I hope Mikado gets a makeover or gets more customers. I think they have potential but the space is starting to look more like a storage facility. When you first walk in, it's a bunch of plants in the corner and knickknacks around the hostess stand. It's not a good first impression.
