Mikimoto has been a staple of New Orleans's sushi scene for the better of two decades, but as a first timer to the establishment, it was well worth the experience. The vibes reminded me of an izakaya, the Japanese equivalent to the hole in the wall with great food and drinks, specifically from the turn of the millennium with modern decor, soft lighting, and electric dance music in the background. Going in blind into a sushi restaurant can be overwhelming, especially with a menu with so much variety, and a la carte sushi on the side. Thankfully, Mikimoto made it easy with their Sushi Platter for anyone who's looking to sample a little bit of everything, from their California rolls, to salmon and tuna and even salmon roe. There are also menu items for anyone not into the idea of eating raw fish, including chicken katsu, tempura and beef stir fry. Service is exactly what you can expect at a high end restaurant as servers are friendly, attentive, and will do their best to give you the best experience possible. If you're looking for the izakaya experience without flying halfway around the world, it's hard to go wrong at Mikimoto's.
Service was excellent, very nice, friendly and attentive... The sushi was mid basically, went with classics as always, a touch warm and prices were a bit more than I'm used to for said items, the atmosphere needed some TLC, exterior also, a bit small, etc.. but overall not too bad
Eaten here twice now and I guess I forgot to leave a review, shame on me! Awesome sushi, had the deluxe, tiger, mango mania, and yellow dragon roll... All great in their own right but if you love mango then mango mania, a little something special you never thought of the yellow dragon roll with the tease from the lemon, a little crunch then the deluxe, and a classic wherever you go with the tiger. Let us not forgot an honorable mention when available, uni! Typically my phone does not eat first but took a picture of the uni just for the review. Nonetheless I can vouch for the sushi and bravo, it's done well!
Stopped by here for lunch. There is a parking lot which is nice considering most of New Orleans is street parking. The food was great, service was also pleasant. I’m sure we’ll be back next time we’re in town!
With a friendly staff and great food you can't go wrong! Absolutely the freshest fish available! The place is second to none. Top of the line sushi rolls and fresh sashimi. Weather eating out alone or on a date this place is great! You got to try it! You won't be disappointed with dozens and dozens of items to choose from!
