Review from Stéphane S.

I don't know if it's a sentimental thing but this is still my favorite Japanese restaurant in Montreal. I have been coming to this location since before it was a Japanese restaurant actually; The place used to be one if the early Vietnamese restaurant in Montreal and I was coming to eat a Pho almost daily when I was studying at the near-by Cegep du Vieux-Montréal back in 1981! A few years after (mid 80s, not sure of the year) the Vietnamese family that owned (and still do) the place decided that there was more money to do with a Japanese restaurant. It then re-opened as Mikado.
I went back with my wive for her birthday last month and it was still really great! The sushi were fresh, tasty and masterfully done. The ambiance and service was great. Only in California and in Japan did I had better Sushi than here.Listed in: Restaurants favoris dans la…

Mikado () is a word used for the Emperor of Japan. This restaurant is located within the core of downtown Montreal. All things considered, the restaurant was good, but not outstanding. The service which was received was pretty good, they filled the water pretty quickly, the people were nice enough, if slightly distant. The food was good, I liked the sushi was ordered, and the tempura that we got was very decent as well. The food seemed fresh, the rolls seemed made well. The decoration seemed fine.
There were a lot of things about the restaurant that were good, but not great. I honestly can't say there was anything about the restaurant that would really make me want to go back there specifically, rather than try a different Japanese restaurant in town. At the same time, there is nothing about the restaurant that would make warn people off about the restaurant. It was definitely, A-OK. -

I travel a lot and Mikado is my favorite sushi place. The sushi are fresh, tasty and the presentation is really nice. The prices are reasonable for sushi. The location is nice, in the heart of the quartier Latin. The decor is simple, but really nice. I like the ambiance. It's close to a subway station.

Funny enough, I found some of the best sushi in Montreal in the Latin Quarter. I also walked by the restaurant twice before realizing I was standing right in front of it.
The inside is a peaceful ambiance with tables to the right and counter seating to the left. A busy scene behind the sushi bar will keep you ordering new things by simply pointing, smiling and nodding.
Fresh sashimi, beautiful presentation, original rolls and familiar favorites.
Fair portion and quality for prices that are a little above average and well worth it. -

It hurts, physically hurts, to give Mikado just two stars, when on my last visit to Montreal I gave their sister restaurant, usually not nearly as good, many more, but tonight was atrocious.
We made the trip to Mikado from Cote St. Luc because we knew that every time we've gone, the food has been superb. Ok, small issues with customer service (when they tried to convince me "usuzukuri" was a type of fish and not the preparation of it), but the food made up for it.
We arrived around 6:30, and ordered about 10 minutes later. My father's entree arrived in about 15 minutes, a decent Chicken Katsu. My mother and my appetizers arrived a few minutes later. The first was Hamachi Sashimi that was so fishy-smelling and slimy, after one piece each we returned them to the waiter. He made no comment about it, not even the basic apology we usually expect when one returns inedible food.
The green salad was nice, the salmon tartare decent but nothing to write home about.
About 50 minutes later, we received one more dish, the salmon/tuna tempura, my ABSOLUTE favourite Mikado roll, and were told our Jazz roll was "coming." This roll is lightly seared and then tempura fried - but when it got to us it was so cold it felt like it had just come out of the fridge, and the tempura was chewy. Again, we returned it unfinished, and this time he tried to convince us that the roll was fine and that we'd just misunderstood the way it was made.
Then we sat back to wait.
And wait.
At 8:25, almost two full hours after arriving, and more than an hour and a half after ordering, we canceled the Jazz roll and asked for the bill.
The only reason they got the second star in this review is because without us having to request it, they took the Sashimi, the Jazz Roll and the Salmon/Tuna tempura roll OFF the bill. We still paid $60+ tip for a meal that left most of us hungry, and heading home for a bagel to fill up, though. -

I've been there a long time ago but I remember everybit. I've been there to accomodate my sisters who's picky and wanted different things. The only thing they had agreed was Japanese. I knew my friend worked there and choosed to encourage my friend restaurant. Really good experience and amazing experience of Japanese Cuisine. The menu is separated in two. One card is a self-service that you give to the Waiter when you've made your choices and the other menu à la carte is offering some decent selection of choice. They don't feel into those extremly long asian menu uber-complicated with huge amount of things we don't know. The result is that you only have the best on the Carte. I've had a home specialty: crusty tuna with some sauce. Amazing!
It had cost me a lot because i'm a well-built man that likes to eat and I had invited my sister so it came to 220$ -

Surprisingly amazing! I was told not to even try finding good sushi in Montreal, but Mikado is more than decent. I've never been to a Japanese restaurant in North American that didn't give you a dehydrated pile of iceberg lettuce swimming in unappealing orange dressing, but here the salad was actually pretty good -- big tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and a reasonable amount of dressing. The seafood miso soup was full of whole scallops, shrimp, etc, and more than worth the price. The sashimi was quite fresh and the portion sizes weren't too big or too small. The restaurant looks kind of run-down and dirty from the outside (was initially quite disappointed because it honestly looked closed down) , but it's not that bad inside, though it's definitely nothing special.
