Mikado Japanese Steakhouse - Japanese steakhouse in Orlando - 8701 World Center Dr, USA

Posting review late, we visited here on September 18, 2023 First time visiting here and it was just okay. It's your typical hibachi grill just higher priced. Our visit probably would have been better if there wasn't a group of guys who were already very drunk and very loud the whole time we were there. The experience was fun though, and our chef was very nice! He seemed newer though, he wasn't quite as "showy" as the other chefs. But it was still fun! Be prepared to get a lot of food though, so you better come hungry! I ordered the shrimp and steak dish which was good. Honestly, the highlight of my visit was the dessert! I highly recommend the trio of ice cream on the macaroons, it was fabulous! Overall, fun experience but I probably won't dine here again when I come visit just based on the fact that once is good enough.

The chef that made the food was good the only thing is I wish they included the noodles and fried rice instead of having to charge it separate and only include steam rice. But the drink I got was the plum wine and it was sweet the way I like it. They do give a complimentary cake for your birthday so that was a nice perk. I also got the steamed GOYZA and it was good.

Came here Tuesday night during Holiday Matsuri. They weren't busy. I made a reservation on Open Table to be sure, just in case they were. It's actually outside of the hotel but still attached. There's a giant sign above a door that leads to an outdoor area that you walk over to get to it. The hostess stand is large and in the middle. I did notice they didn't have a separate area for sushi, everyone just sat at the hibachi tables. The host and server and chef were great. I let them know I was gluten and dairy free. I was bummed I couldn't have the salad or miso soup since both had some sort of gluten in it. Soy is notorious for having gluten sadly. The yum yum sauce even had dairy in it. But it was a fate I was willing to accept and I took lactaid when I went back to my room. Everything was really delicious otherwise. The restroom was also nice and clean too. Overall it wasn't too bad for pricing, I was worried, but I managed to only have it be around $30 for what I had and tip.

Regular food (what you can expect from a hotel restaurant?) But if you don’t have other place to go for dinner, since the hotel is middle of no where, this is a pretty good option.

This place is an absolute joke. Despite the restaurant calling to confirm my reservation hours before the reserved time, my group and I still had to wait a while to be seated. The hostess appeared to have no knowledge of the restaurant or what she was doing. What I noticed right of the bat is that there are no regular tables and it seems that everyone was seated at Teppanyaki stations. The Izakaya (small plates) menus seems to have disappeared from the restaurant despite them advertising it at the entrance of the restaurant. What I am about to say next is very important. If you are a group of 3 or less, you will be seated with complete strangers (yes, shoulder-to-shoulder). What makes the restaurant think that I want to be surrounded by strangers after a crowded theme park day? My group and I brought this to the waiter's attention but received rudeness and attitude for asking if we could sit by ourselves or have space between other customers. We were treated like they paid us to eat there, not the other way around. Unfortunately, my group and I felt that our time and money may be worth more someplace else, so we walked out. I do not recommend this place until something is changed or improved. Note: This restaurant only opens 2 days a week and does not have any take-out menus or anything for to-go.

Hostess was just not friendly and treated us like the restaurant was sold out for years. We were doing a business meal and were waiting for our guests who were tied up with another meeting and threatened to take our table away and wouldn't even seat us until the balance of our party arrived. We were in total, 5 minutes late. Not our plan but this created an uncomfortable situation and we had to pressure a business guest and lead to a poor dinner. Good and show was average at best.

Definitely enjoyed myself! Great show, wonderful food! You get a lot here! And great quality too! Couldn't finish but at least I had lunch the next day too.

Service: 5 stars Ingredients: 5 stars Performance: 4 star Cooking: 3 stars GOAT: Veggie & Shrimp Tempura. The outside coat of food is crispy and the inside part still juicy. Drinks are refilled and table is cleaned on time. Ingredients are fresh. The food was slightly overcooked. This includes vegetables and shrimp. The fire show is cool though.
