Japanese
The ancient tradition of the Samurai lives on at Mikado where knife-twirling chefs use fire and steam to create a mouth watering menu of steak, chicken and seafood delights. The highlight of the experience is the dazzling talents of your chef as he expertly chops, juggles, jokes and prepares an incredible meal right before your eyes. While you are led to your table through our private Japanese garden, notice the Koi swimming below and the sound of cascading waterfalls.

Mikado at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is known throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California as the leader in authentic Teppan-Yaki Dining.

But it doesn’t stop there! East meets West at the ultimate sushi bar where you can relax and enjoy the freshest foods and a signature martini or sake. Celebrate an intimate gathering or a private function up to 140 guests at Mikado where the food is the show! Arigato!

    Mikado's is one of the best of the Hibachi type restaurants. Located in the JW Marriott in Palm Desert, the hotel helps to add to the ambiance of the entire experience. It is not only a fun evening of forced socializing, catching shrimp pieces in your mouth, watching your table light up with fire and more, but also a very tasty enjoyable family dining opportunity.

    We had a very good Chef. Although he didn't interact with each of the principals at our table, just one guest? The gentleman who came around singing was fabulous. Really set the mood. Thank you for remembering our Anniversary. We come back each year to celebrate. We were VERY UPSET that we couldn't charge the dinner and drinks to our Villa. We were told the Ststem was down. However, this am we checked in with the front desk who said all they needed to do was call. So, I guess we will be stopping by this evening to rectify this per Johnny our Villa Mgr.

    Mikados is an amazing experience. We took the gondolas from the hotel to the restaurant and were seated promptly. The chefs are very engaging and keep kids entertained. The food is absolutely delicious. We had a little bit of everything. The filet mignon and lobster were favorites.

    Service was good, not great, but it’s the little things that put this place above others…and in this case it was one of the employees coming by each table and singing a song for everyone. At first I thought it was going to be a bit odd; however, this guy had an amazing voice! He BELTED out songs and it really made for a very memorable experience! The food was very good but it was the overall experience that made it special.

    The ambience was great, and the wait staff were very entertaining. The hibachi was also delicious. My only issue was that the spicy tuna rolls were not very good and, in general, all the sushi had a little bit of a plastic aftertaste. It could be from wrapping them in some sort of saran wrap, I don’t know. I would definitely go there again for the hibachi, but not for the sushi.

    Mikado's didn't disappoint. Sean, the GM, Martine and Aida were the best. The plus was when the Chef belted out a song to each of the area tables. This guy is talented. Food excellent as usual.

    Why did the chef come out and start singing loud with a karaoke machine right at our table, old 50s and 60s ballads? Although his voice was good it just didn't fit with the Asian ambience and it was way way way way way too loud! Sorry they still don't have the miso salad dressing, the ginger salad dressing wasn't very gingery, the chicken was tough, as was as the shrimp. And why don't they include green tea ice cream any more with dinner? We love the chef and his performance… But we would not come back because of the quality of food, and the loud constant noise.

    We had a reservation and when we got there the host asked us to wait in the bar for our table. We order an appetizer and when the host came to get us, we told her we would like to close out with the bartender, the host told us no. We had to follow her right now. The food was not the best and overpriced.
