Reviews
The Food:
Unfortunately, the food at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was a letdown. The miso soup was overly salty, and the salad was saggy and unappetizing. The ginger dressing was watery and lacked flavor. My wife’s scallops were met with indifference, and her exact words were “it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good.” This lackluster food was made even more disappointing by the high prices.
The Prices:
Speaking of prices, Mikado Japanese Steakhouse seems to nickel and dime its customers for every little thing. Want fried rice? That’ll be an extra $6 for a small bowl. This feels like a unnecessary add-on, and I would have preferred it if the restaurant had simply built the cost of the rice into the price of the meal. Alternatively, they could have provided a more generous portion size to justify the extra cost.
The Menu:
One of the biggest issues I had with Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was the lack of detail on the menu. I ordered the vegetable option, but I was not expecting tofu to be included. Unfortunately, this meant that I lost half of my portion size when the food arrived, as I don’t eat soy. I would have appreciated it if the menu had provided more information about what was included in each dish.
The Service:
Despite the issues with the food and menu, the service at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was exceptional. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
The Verdict:
Overall, my experience at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse was a mixed bag. While the service was top-notch, the food was average and overpriced, and the restaurant’s policies left a lot to be desired. With a little more attention to detail and a more generous approach to portion sizes, this restaurant could be a real winner. As it stands, I would caution potential diners to be aware of the extra costs and to carefully review the menu before ordering.

Recommendation:
If you’re looking for a Japanese steakhouse experience, I would recommend exploring other options in the area. While Mikado Japanese Steakhouse has some potential, the high prices and lackluster food make it a less desirable choice. However, if you do decide to dine here, be sure to carefully review the menu and ask questions about what’s included in each dish.
Our team was greeted by the head chef who actually serenaded the whole table to Stevie Wonder’s “ I Just Called To Say I Love You”.
Although the entrees are all $50 plus, you do get your moneys worth. All of the entrees come with soup or sales, a shrimp appetizer and some of the best seafood and or steak that you can get.
The food was awesome, the chef spectacular and we all had a great time. I had a scallop and lobster combination that was mind blowing. The food was fresh with perfect seasoning.
Everyone enjoyed their meal and there were plenty of to go boxes at the end of our experience.
If you want an awesome dining experience then Mikado is for you.
Nothing special was done for the birthday – I was told someone will sing – we got a small desert with a candle (tasty desert).
Place is packed, and probably they need to rush us along. And just does not feel right.
This was our fifth time in Palm desert, and first time I was lucky to get the reservation.
Will not repeat.
