Mikado Ryotei — Restaurant in Austin

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...

I first discovered this place my freshman year of college. I recently returned when a friend and I were dying to go to a sushi happy hour, and I was unimpressed by recent visits to my ex-favorite sushi restaurants. All of my favorite downtown sushi destinations just aren't as good as they used to be, so we decided to venture out a bit farther to Mikado. That's when I remembered how attractive and enjoyable Ben is.

Ben isn't just any regular guy, nuh uh. He's beautiful - he has the figure of an Olympic athlete, has so many layers to his personality, and he just understands what I really want and what I'm looking for. He never fails me. He has a hard exterior, but he's such a great person inside. And ladies, he's pretty endowed. Trust me. Sometimes I can't even fit that sushi roll into my mouth.

That Ben's Roll was delicious. I'm not a hundred percent sure what is in it exactly, but it has all of the goodies that you could ever want - avocado, various sauces, etc. When something is that good, it doesn't even matter what's inside of it. I'll take it. It's a bit pricey (~$18), and not on special during HH, but it's so worth it. It's big enough for two people to share, and I've never had anything else like it.

What I love most about Mikado is the quality of their fish - you can tell it's fresh. I used to frequent Imperia, but I've just noticed the quality of the sushi is not as good as it used to be. This is one thing I love that Mikado hasn't skimped on, even during HH. Other than the Ben's Roll, I'd also recommend the Chiroshi's Fire and Hottie Susan, both of which are really good. They also have the standard options of Spicy Tuna, Avocado Roll, etc. if you don't want to be too adventurous.

The place is nice, service is good, and if anything isn't up to par (which is always is), Ben always makes up...

Have been coming here for bday parties for 10yrs now, always the same Thurs every year & up to a usual crowd of 30 guests! Food is great as always, but this year we were treated horribly by one of the hostesses! We have had this reservation for months, we walked the facility on May 17 & took pics with the owner Mark escorting us around the restaurant because of new construction, we have also kept him informed via email. Host even called the day before and Mark (owner) said he was worried about the theme, so we toned it down. And, he was worried about the amount of people- 27 so we lowered it to 20, & actually only 18 showed up! We listened to what they asked! 6 of us even ordered early on before the party, so less stress on waiters due to it being a group party! Party went great, nothing wild, in fact NO KIDS or anything too wild this year. (previous yrs were definitely more!) Guests left & we helped to clean up as usual for every year! Hostess made several rude comments during & throughout, even had guests leave early due to her attitude. We brushed it off & never stooped to her level. We said 'thank you' as we left & she even stated 'not welcome' on our way out! Another waiter taking trash out started talking to us outside (a waiter we know & love), the hostess came out to purposely interfere. She then proceeded to follow us & harass us in the pkng lot! She even had the audacity to mention they’re not ‘slaves’ because a little food spilled… in a restaurant! Video posted online! **NOT acceptable for ANY business to treat...
