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!

"Please note that Mikado Restaurant reservations are not inclusive of a boat tour."

    While there are many Tepan grills in the valley, Makado is the best in terms of food, service and ambiance by a long shot.

    Our group of 6, 5 adults and one child, all agreed that dinner at Mikado was an entertaining and delicious experience. Watching the chef prepare our meal was only second to how good everything tasted.

    Very loud screaming kids. Probably just our bad luck to be seated in the same room with 3 full tables of kids where the parents didn’t sit at same table. Our chef was not very personable Food quality good

    Firstly the restaurant was really cold, shabby and drab. The staff looked unenthusiastic and gave the impression of being bored with the whole experience. The chef was mildly entertaining and the food was good, although it was all served too quickly. The wine list was really poor and the wine by the glass selection terrible. I ordered a glass of Daou, and the glass it came in was filthy, and when I sent it back the second glass was not much better, Finally the Mgr. brought me a clean glass! However they are not afraid to charge and it was expensive for this way below average experience.

    The only downside was we checked in for our reservation before any one else seated at our chef table and we were seated in the worst seats. Overall great experience, definitely will go back and request better seating option.

    Our Son’s engagement party dinner at Mikado had its ups and downs. The Teppan service and food were average, and the noise level was quite high ,which affected the overall ambiance. On the bright side, the personal serenade was Awesome, adding a touch of elegance to the evening.”

    It was fun, the service was OK we seem to have lost the weight staff after dinner. Couple of the people at our table were complaining.  I felt the price was a little expensive. But we did receive it quite a bit of food for the price.
