Mikado Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Pearl

I want to preface this review by saying that I don't write them unless I feel it's actually warranted, which isn't very often. I'm not an angry poster upset about service or whatever. I'm just extremely disappointed with how brazenly these people rip you off with just how low the quality and value of their food is. I ordered takeout from this place. Nothing special, just a rainbow roll for $9.99, which is the usual price for this item at most sushi places. It was easily worse than most grocery store sushi I've had, and even more of a rip off. I mean, how in the hell do you justify skimping on rice? The fish was cut so thin it was actually translucent. I ate it, but I kinda wish I didn't because it tasted a little strange. I don't think the fish had actually gone bad, but it had this watery flavor, like they were artificially hydrating it or something. All in all, I'm just a bit insulted that this place would charge me $10 for around 2 ounces of fish and I feel like I've been had. But you don't have to be. So, I implore you, if you're craving sushi and you're thinking about trying this place, please do yourself a favor and exercise some restraint. Cooks have bad days. Service varies from person to person and food products aren't always of consistently good quality, but blatant disregard for quality and value is something that doesn't fix itself. You can do so...

I really didn’t have any decent expectations of this restaurant. It is the first time that I noticed after leaving the cinemark movie theatre I pearl and I wanted Japanese food. With bonsai locations closed and ichiban too during this time I decided to try it for you guys! So I went in and was greeted by the guy taking our order who was sooooo nice and helpful and friendly! I asked if they had the Louisiana crawfish roll which is my favorite. They call it the rocking roll. It was brought to my table in a sealed up and too clear container with beautiful presentation! But what blew me away is that it was bigger than I get at any other restaurant and for the love of jumping johesephat 😂. It was the best roll I have ever eaten in my life! It had tons of crawfish and the crab meat on top was fresh and delicious and it had that nice spicy pop to it! I wanted to order 100 more and eat it everyday of my life! I will be back in as much as possible just to get that! The rice I got with it was enough to share with my grown daughter and we are the rice together for two more meals at home! Tons! They gave us tons of rice! Worth every dime...

She said it'll be ready in "15 minutes" like always. It took him 26 minutes. Not the biggest deal. But when I got my food!!! Y'all why didn't I check it when I was there? I get back to my truck, fix my drink, then open my plate.... I'm gone let the photo speak for itself. Now we all done had coconut shrimp. If not, Google what it looks like. This looks like dog poop over salad with icing on it. They should be ashamed. And on top of that, it was not cooked. It was 100% re-heated. The rice as well. We can tell cooked vs re-heated. And it took 26 minutes to do that? NEVER EVER EVER EATING HERE...
