A word from Mikado Japanese Cuisine - Southside
In 1972, Mikado Restaurant opened as the first Japanese restaurant in Edmonton.
Mikado has many customers who have continued to visit since opening in 1972.
Mikado relocated in 1989, modernized the interior design & business increased.
Since that time, we have strived to be "Precious… moments with precious people.

”In the spring of 2004 a second location was opened up on the Southside.
Mikado has many unique qualities, such as the importing of fresh fish from Japan on weekends.
Visit us to experience the food, service & atmosphere that is only available at Mikado.Continued

  • "I've enjoyed Mikado for many years. Initially it was the write up in the paper about the "sushi pizza" that drew me in but Mikado has so much more to offer than that. The food is amazing. The variety of dishes such that you can order something new every time. Staff is friendly and and efficient. I recommend this place to anyone who asks me where to go for dinner in Edmonton."

  • "This is my 3rd visit there, and 1st through Open Table. The service we received fell short of expectations. Being a Tuesday night, the restaurant wasn't busy. Yet we waited almost an hour for the food to arrive. No explanation nor apology was offered for the tardy service either. When we asked for the bill and I asked for change back, the waitress reminded us there was no service charge as if she was afraid we were not going to tip her. We did but not the customary 15%. Would seriously consider going back there again."

  • "Thoroughly enjoyed the service and the large portions of food! The staff was very attentive and gracious which impressed my lunch partner as it was her first time there. I would definitely go back for lunch or dinner for a special occasion."

  • "Had a great time at Mikado southside. It was my first time booking online and requested tatami room. Booking was achieved and we were seated in a tatami room. Food was great, as always. Server was very friendly and accommodating. The only thing that we noticed is how the dragon eyes' portion is now smaller (with the price) and the taste is a little bit bland than it used to be. Overall, we all have a great time and will consider Mikado in our future dining destination."

  • "Great restaurant. Did not eat in the private rooms, only in the main dining area. Found the tables for 2 a little close together. Felt like I was dining with the strangers in the table beside us. Staff were very attentive an food was great. I recommend trying one of there flavoured saki's. We look forward to returning again."

  • "Food was nicely prepared and beautifully represented. Staff was friendly and helpful, although it did take awhile for the waitress to come to our table. Enjoyed my lunch bento box and would definately eat here again!"

  • "I love their Sushi. I haven't been to Japan, so I don't know what authentic tastes like, but the fish tastes pretty damn fresh here."
    Dined on 10/19/2013
  • "The food was good, as always. Our service, however, was awful. We waited at least 15 minutes before someone took our order, and it wasn't even our waitress. When our waitress finally came, you couldn't hear a word she said. We will be back because we love the food, but if this was our first time, based on service alone, we would never return."

  • "We had a really great time, the food was amazing and service was great! They have a very large menu so there is something for everyone at this restaurant. :)"

  • "I requested a private room for my husband and I. We made the reservation on open table and when e arrived, we were informed that we could only request a private room if we made the reso over the phone. I was not too happy about this and after complaining they finally put us into a room. The service and food were very good once we actually got in the room. The prices are a bit expensive but it is a good once in a while place to go."
    Dined on 9/20/2013
  • "The sushi was amazing but the service was sub standard. It took the server forever to bring the food and bill and even longer for the machine to pay. We waited for about 10-15 minutes for her to bring the Interac machine. We find the Mikado West end location more enjoyable than the other locations due to the quality of service and atmosphere. Out of the three locations the south side has the worst ambiance."

  • "We had a great time trying new things at Mikados for our double date. We ordered the coast to coast (which comes served on a wooden boat) There was enough sashimi (pardon my spelling) and sushi for all four of us. We also had 2 orders of the fantastic dragon eyes (a must have!) Had great time in one of the private rooms."

  • "Food is mediocre. Was disappointed at one of the cooked beef dishes. The menu said with melt cheese like texture on the beef . When it was actually on the table, I did not find any melt cheese like texture on the beef, and the beef was somewhat dry."
    Dined on 4/20/2013
  • "Came for my daughter's 14th birthday party and booked a Tatami room, which is why I listed this as quiet. If you are not in a room, the noise level is much higher because this is such a hot spot. The service was extraordinary, attention to detail and speed and efficiency second to none. We brought our own cake and it was brought to the table at the exact perfect moment. Everything fresh and delicious with the exception of the spider roll, whose crab meat I felt was overcooked. Everything else was perfect. It is the perfect spot for a very special occaision. *If you want a tatami room, you must book ahead!"

  • "My table had the Miso soup dragon eyes and the avocado tempura roll. The presentation was excellent. The only problem I had was that the avocado was more mushy than I like."
    Dined on 3/29/2013
  • "As frequent diners at the Mikado we definitely enjoy the food. Dishes are always tasty and well prepared. Usually the service is exceptional, however the past 2 visits the service has been sub par. Perhaps just a staff turnover."

  • "A great first time at Mikado. It's nice to find a restaurant that you can reserve at and arrive to find out that it is a private room. The food was beautiful and tasted just as good. I can't wait to come back."
    Dined on 2/9/2013
  • "Sushi was fresh and tasty, but there seems to be a problem with Opentable reservations at this restaurant. Booked for 7:30 pm and email confirmation said the same thing, but when I got there the staff said it was booked for 8 pm. I checked my opentable app and it seemed like the time was automatically changed with no notification whatsoever. The staff was very accommodating and gave me a table within 15 mins, but the food came out pretty slowly since the place was so busy."
