Mikado Japanese - Asheville

My favorite Japanese restaurant in Asheville. Everything on the menu is delicious but if want something SUPER delicious order the Yakiniku... you won't regret it!

Visited the restaurant two days ago. First impression is slight disappointment because it has a good ratings. The restaurant needs a revamp. Food was ok. Philadelphia roll wasn't has cucumber or avocado. I believe next time I will choose another place for suchi.

We used to come here every time we were in Asheville. Then Covid hit. When we went recently, nobody was in the parking lot. And nobody was in the restaurant. I really hope they are doing ok. Yes, the building is old, but other than that, I can’t see a reason why it would be empty. The food was hot and fresh, and of good quality. There wasn’t sushi tonight, which was sad, but with only one cook and one waiter, I can understand. 3 single people wandered in and ate as we were there. The owner was there. We recognized him. It is a little pricey $17.99 for chicken teriyaki). They always had better lunch prices.

Ate there this weekend, me and my husband have been sick since. Place is going down hill fast. Used to be awesome. Tastes like they heated up leftovers from night before.

Yeah, so they've lost something since our last dine-in visit two years ago. Carrots were soft, rice was overcooked a little and the salmon was not very tasty. I was with my wife and two sons who are in the cooking business so I'm getting my information through them.
