Mikado Sushi & More Köln in Köln

This was my second time here, and I have to say: This time it was even better than the first! The food was fresh and incredibly delicious, and the service was very friendly. Even though I had to wait a bit, it was absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back!

Mice were running around the restaurant, the staff weren't friendly, and the service wasn't good. The food wasn't good and way too expensive for what it was.

Absolutely filthy place, Article from the Kölner Express from May 5, 2025: Mouse droppings everywhere: City closes restaurant in Cologne's Mediapark – "hygienically very poor" Disgust alert in Cologne! Mouse droppings were found in the kitchen of the well-known sushi restaurant "Mikado." The city's food inspectors have officially closed the restaurant. Cologne: Mouse droppings discovered in the kitchen of sushi restaurant "Mikado" in the Mediapark During an inspection of the popular restaurant with more than 1,100 Google reviews, a "hygienically very poor" condition was documented, as "t-online" reports. The restaurant has yet to respond to our request for comment. Particularly worrying: In the kitchen, where raw fish is processed, inspectors found excrement from pest rodents. This contamination was found on work surfaces and countertops – in close proximity to food. In addition to the kitchen area, the inspection report recorded mouse droppings in the counter area and in the basement storage area. The serious hygiene deficiencies led to a comprehensive cleaning of all equipment and surfaces being deemed essential. Mouse infestation was evident not only on the floor but also on cardboard boxes. The inspectors also found mouse droppings in the counter area, especially in the edges and corners, as well as underneath the furnishings. During the inspection, which took place during regular opening hours, sushi and other Japanese dishes were being prepared in the restaurant and served to unsuspecting guests. The authority pointed out that "the food produced, processed, and marketed at the facility was exposed to a risk of contamination." The "Mikado" was particularly criticized for the lack of an internal control system. Essential hygiene standards such as documentation of storage temperatures, incoming goods inspection, cleaning schedules, and pest management were lacking. Food traceability and staff training were also not guaranteed.

Was closed by the health department on February 20, 2025, because, among other things, mouse droppings were found in the food preparation area. You should think twice about whether the all-you-can-eat option is worth it.

Very rude, I have never been served so unfriendly and the food is not recommended under any circumstances, especially for the price, go to another restaurant, trust me, I eat a lot of sushi but have never seen such bad staff and food, save your money, this restaurant is not worth it

The ambience is really nice. Mikado is spread over 3 floors. The food came super quickly and the service was usually very attentive. You can park in the Cinedom with a cinema tariff

We always enjoy coming and always bring friends and relatives with us, who are all enthusiastic. The selection of food is very large, deliciously prepared and delivered quickly. The only drawback: there is no gluten-free soy sauce, so I always have to bring it with me.

A wonderful experience at Mikado Restaurant! The food was fantastic – everything was freshly prepared, with high-quality ingredients and tasted great. We were particularly impressed by the loving presentation and the quality of the food. The service was very polite, attentive and warm. The ambience is also stylish and inviting. We felt completely at home and will definitely come back!

The location is excellent, next to the cinema. The environment is elegant, clean, bright and modern. The store is large, with many types of food, fresh products, high cost performance and great service attitude!

What can you say...a great shop...good food and attentive service at an acceptable price. What more do you want?

Too high a price for all you can eat

I really enjoy going there as a highlight (e.g. for a birthday or Easter) and have never been disappointed. The food is very, very tasty and with a waiting time of 15 minutes per round you can get there easily. The only small defect: • Sometimes when you order something in one round it doesn't arrive. Then you can order it again in the next round. (Something happens when it's full that something gets forgotten, it's just a shame) Otherwise there were never any problems. Everything looks very nice and modern and there is something for everyone, be it sushi or fried food, etc. “All you can eat” is worth it for the price and serves as a special experience on special occasions. Always happy.

We have been here several times now, the reservation was made via Quandoo. However, after our arrival they were unable to confirm the reservation. Instead it was cancelled. After my comment and re-booking 45 minutes later, the same thing happened. Apparently the staff doesn't know the technology, much to the annoyance of the guest. The menu is very extensive and varied, so there is something for every taste. The service staff welcomed us quite sober. Shortly after the first order we received the first dishes. These were all fresh and delicious. Some of the sushi rolls (the fried ones) were very large so you had to cut them up. Compared to the quality and sophistication of the food at Mu-Kii or Grand Asia in Saarbrücken, Mikado doesn't do quite as well. Many sushi rolls taste the same, so highlights are unfortunately hard to find. Some combinations like sushi filled with peppers are rather atypical and quite unimaginative. Maybe you should pay less attention to the quantity on the menu and concentrate on fewer and more "rounded" dishes in terms of taste. The Mikado is worth a visit and can definitely keep up with the Okinii. It would be desirable to have some homemade lemonades on the drinks menu.

I just had my first date here, and everything was going very well until the end, when at some point several mice ran from the bottom corner of the restaurant straight into the kitchen. At first I thought I wasn't seeing correctly, but then when I noticed the view from a neighboring table, I knew I was definitely seeing correctly. We were initially asked not to carry this around in a big way in the restaurant. When we then wanted to pay, of course not the full price, see BGB paragraph 437 ff., we were offered a “nice” 20%. After a long discussion and at the request of showing the mouse traps that had supposedly been placed, we were told that mice were “normal” in the catering industry. In the end, we paid for our cocktails out of niceness and walked out of the restaurant with cheeky, follow-up comments.

We were at Mikado accompanied by guests from America. The ambience can be rated as excellent, and the location is also excellent. It was found that the quality of the food is directly related to the number of guests. My experience with Mikado has been positive. Unfortunately, today's food, which was very busy, was not edible. The wait for food was longer than average, resulting in some rounds being missed. As a result, a new order had to be placed, after which another waiting period was to be expected.

The first time, great, the next time, it's okay. Very long waiting times, one fish was very fishy, ​​and the staff was very stressed and disorganized. Maybe we'll be convinced again next time.

All you can eat and yet I find the price unreasonable as the drinks are still top notch. The sushi was OK, nothing high quality. The dessert and also the meat were OK. The udon noodles with vegetables, the vegetables were missing. The sweet sushi was far from tasty, but that's certainly a matter of taste. The fried vegetables were in an indefinable sauce, not at all tasty. The food always came quickly, although the last two rounds were very slow and we still had meat and fish for dessert. The waitresses wouldn't survive in a restaurant. They were nice, but didn't know much about service. It was like a fast food restaurant. When I order high-quality sushi 🍣, for 32 pieces I'm well below this price for 2 people and I'm full. That's why I prefer quality and not overeating, like eating lots of things that are only half as tasty.🤷🏼‍♀️ I think for this price you can and should expect more quality, that's my conclusion.

The food was very tasty and the service was friendly. Unfortunately, during our visit a mouse ran from the kitchen into the dining room and back. When we asked, the staff told us that this was “normal”, that the health department had been informed and that operations could continue. Despite the good food, such an incident is absolutely unacceptable from a hygienic point of view and poses a health risk. I definitely cannot recommend the restaurant.

Rating for Mikado Cologne (Hansaring): According to staff and manager, mice are normal in the restaurant. The food was really tasty, the selection of all-you-can-eat was very large and fresh, and the service was also friendly. However, the visit was overshadowed by something absolutely unacceptable: a mouse was running around in the middle of the restaurant. When I asked the waiter and the manager about it, I was told that it was normal, that the health department had been there several times and that the mouse was basically part of it. I was speechless. In a restaurant - especially with an open kitchen and raw fish - there should under no circumstances be mice. The fact that this is apparently known there and is not seen as a problem is absolutely unacceptable. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. Mice in the dining room are not a “charm” or a local mascot – they are a hygiene problem that needs to be taken seriously.

The food was definitely delicious. We felt comfortable there. The only thing to complain about is that the service staff was inattentive. At the beginning we had to wait about 15 minutes until we were noticed and a tray was handed to us. You had to say 3 times that you wanted to pay and then after a good 10 minutes someone came to bill you. Normal cutlery was only available after the 4th request. Nothing dramatic, but it was a bit negative. But one also has to say positively that the orders always came quickly. A few times something was missing, but you still get full there and as I said, the food is also very edible :) And for all dog owners... dogs are also welcome there and are also provided with a bowl of water.

My favorite place for sushi. The waitress and manager Akram was particularly courteous and attentive today. Pay raise please :)

The three of us had a business lunch at Mikado in Mediapark today and were very satisfied. There is a large selection of sushi and many other dishes - there is something for every taste. We had the all-you-can-eat with table service, which was very pleasant. The service was super friendly and attentive. The prices are a little higher, but that's understandable in this location. Overall, a thoroughly successful visit – we would love to come back!

We went to this restaurant this evening for all you can eat. On the third round of ordering we discovered a live maggot on the cucumber salad - absolutely disgusting and unacceptable! We immediately informed the waiter, who was also the shift manager. However, his reaction was more than disappointing. No shock, no apology - just the question of whether we would like a new cucumber salad (of course not!). The bowl was taken away without comment. Point. Not a word of regret, not an insight. Of course we lost our appetite after this incident. When we told him this and explained that we didn't want to eat the rest, we were told that there was nothing we could do about the price - it was "already late in the evening". Particularly outrageous: His statement: “I can understand you in private, but not in business.” What does that mean please? Like we're friends? Completely inappropriate and completely off track. After a long discussion, we reluctantly received a 15% discount - accompanied by stroppy, arrogant comments. An apology? None. A restaurant that deals with such a serious lack of hygiene in such an indifferent and unprofessional manner is absolutely unacceptable to me. We will definitely never come back and strongly advise everyone not to do so!

I had the pleasure of eating at this sushi restaurant and was completely satisfied. The quality of the sushi was great and the sushi was also very tasty 🍣 The service was attentive and friendly. I would love to come back here

"The food is good and the service is friendly. However, if I write my honest opinion here, it will probably be deleted."

Dinner for 4 . Great experience. We all got all you can eat ( 10 rounds ) . We ended with 5 rounds . Was not expecting good deserts and ice cream but they were amazing

Cheap food, not exceptional but ok for spending an evening with friends

Apparently giving an honest review is considered "defamation". I call it "Review-gating"

We've been there a few times and everything was always great. Drinks come super quickly, food tastes delicious except for the temperature. But what's a bit strange is what happens every time: After the 3-4 rounds, food just gets mixed up or not at all. Dishes that have been ordered do not arrive or are sometimes very late. Unfortunately, the temperatures of the fried dishes are often lukewarm and sometimes cold. Otherwise the food tastes really good. However, the service is sometimes very overwhelmed. Tables are no longer cleared and only after asking does an employee come and take the empty plates away. You also notice a certain level of stress among the staff.

All you can eat at 35 euros on the weekend is simply too expensive... during the week all you can eat at 23 euros is completely ok. The surcharge for the weekend is too high. But the food was very tasty.

We went there to eat all you can eat, it was very tasty, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We were there right at 12 p.m., but the food came super quickly and tasted very good. The gyoza were the best we've eaten so far. 👍🏼 The poke bowl was also one of my favorites. I can recommend everyone to stop by there!

Were with you for the first time and thought it was great. The only thing that's a bit annoying when you're sitting in the entrance area is the gym with the treadmills one floor above, which makes quite a bit of noise here and there. But the store was still pretty empty at the time, so you could hear it better.

The worst sushi I've ever eaten

We had to wait a bit until the tablet was brought and the bill came at the end, but otherwise the service was quick and friendly. The selection is impressive and definitely worth the price. Super tasty, they rolled out ;) and the flower ball tea was an experience

Long waiting times and the quality of the sushi has deteriorated.

A fantastic sushi experience at Mikado! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was beautiful.

The Mikado offers a varied lunch menu that includes soup. My personal favorite: the Peking soup – spicy, aromatic and just the right thing to start with. Whether it's sushi or a hearty menu with chicken - you can always get freshly prepared, tasty dishes here. A recommended address also for the lunch break!

The food is really tasty, but we lost our appetite relatively quickly because there were at least two mice under the neighboring tables. When we pointed this out to the waitress when we were paying, we were told that she would be very sorry, but that we couldn't prevent it because it was cold outside and the mice wanted to get warm. We definitely won't be coming back and are annoyed that we even paid.

Disappointing experience – not recommended! Unfortunately, our visit to the Mikado was anything but pleasant. Although we were quickly shown to our table, we had to wait over 30 minutes before anyone even took our order. Several times staff walked past to clean other tables or bring food, but we were completely ignored. No greeting, no apology, not even a brief information that someone would take care of us straight away. Only when we became active ourselves did the staff react. The hygiene also left a lot to be desired - the tables, trays and cutlery were sticky. The staff was unfriendly and the food was carelessly slapped on the table. Absolutely not justified for the price! There is no difference from your average all-you-can-eat restaurant.

Today, on February 2, 2025, three of us arrived with a reservation. We were greeted by a young, unfriendly waitress. She asked all the guests in line at the entrance in an annoyed manner: "Reserved?!" Instead of being escorted to a table, the guests were told to choose one on the top right. Done, we sat at table 12. Reservation for 6:00 PM. We were seated at the table at 6:15 PM (still within the time limit). So we sat there and sat and sat and sat. Table 13, which arrived even later, was a bit impatient, and at about a quarter to 7:00 PM, she went to the unfriendly waitress, who then gave the tablets to the table to order. We also received the tablets at the same time, and our first order was taken from the tablet at around 6:50 PM. The first round… 50 minutes after arrival. But things can always get worse, which is why I personally didn't get to eat my first sushi until around 7:40 p.m., almost an hour later. So I'd been sitting there for an hour and a half without eating 😂 But the food was definitely fantastic! No, it wasn't. Compared to the previous times, it was the worst. What was supposed to be hot came cold, and what was supposed to be cold was almost warm. Several items didn't come at all, but a few items we didn't order did. I'm incredibly disappointed to have spent my birthday here today 🙃

Loading blocks users who rate negatively. It's a shame that an honest opinion isn't asked for here.

We have been there on Monday, so was not busy and the atmosphere was great. The service was really friendly and helpful. The food was also good, the fried dishes were hot and crispy. There is a great choice of the stuff that you can try, the dessert menu is also amazing. I think I will go there again!

Always very tasty and the staff is always polite

We love this store 😍 The food is great and super fast service. We are there regularly 😂

Today my friends and I went to Mikado Sushi to end the day. The shop is very nicely decorated and the food was really tasty! Unfortunately, our first order from “All You Can Eat” was partly incorrect. You can ignore that, but the end of our meal was truly a disaster. When we wanted to pay, we were informed for the first time that there was an internet disruption and that card payments were currently not possible. Unfortunately, no information was given about this in advance, nor was there a visible “Cash Only” sign. At first it was suggested to us that we should withdraw the money from the ATM machine in the Cinedom (we would have had to pay a fee of €5 there). Since we were a bit skeptical because the fee would not be covered and there was no ATM at our bank nearby, the service person offered us to pay via Paypal after a short while. After we agreed, she placed a small piece of paper with her email address on the table. When I wanted to transfer the amount to her via PayPal and selected buyer protection to be on the safe side, she reacted very hectically, impatiently and forcefully urged us to pay via “Friends & Family”. With this option you don't get the money back in the event of a wrong transaction, which is why I didn't agree with it. She justified this with a fee that she would incur for buyer protection. What disappointed me here is that she didn't offer to cover this fee in the event of this inconvenience. Unfortunately, that surprises me a lot... In addition, she showed no understanding for our concerns and treated us very unkindly. Unfortunately we won't be coming back again. Too bad...

I've been there a few times and also at other restaurants with a similar concept and I have to say Mikado has topped them all.

Unfortunately only one this time * We've been here so many times, everything has actually always been very good. Six of us got a table upstairs directly at the door, second table on the left. Our request for space was not taken into account. With the temperatures below zero that we currently have, it was very cold and almost unbearable for the 2:15 hours. Many guests in the entrance area were sitting at the table wearing jackets. Many of the dishes we ordered just didn't come, so we had to order them a second or even a third time. All of this took time and you didn't come close to getting your money's worth. After 2 hours 15 minutes we were asked to pay and leave the table. You could have come 10 minutes earlier and said, it's time, the next reservation is already there. But don't say we have to clear the table and not in such a sudden move. The tables were cleared very slowly, everything piled up, we had e.g. There are 10 bottles and a few Kölsch glasses on the table that were only cleared away after an hour. The sushi quality and meat quality was also better, everything had no taste at all or was very dry. Unfortunately I think we had the wrong day, wrong place and wrong time.

We look forward to reserving a table for the whole family. The evening was an unparalleled failure. The drinks were overpriced, 1 x a bowl of wasabi, ginger and soy sauce for the table, but that was it. All hot dishes were cold. Annoying with the fried things. A satay skewer was so hard that I had to return it. When paying I was deliberately not asked if everything was OK. You don't seem to care. It's a shame, I'll definitely never come back.

You pay €35 per person here without drinks, and a tip of €3.50 seemed too little because she had a long face. However, the food was good.

Unfortunately the sushi doesn't really taste very good. So it's ok. The service is good.

There were three of us there, we had to wait almost 20 minutes for our table, even though we had reserved a table a week ago, the receptionist served at least 12 people who had come after us and were standing in line behind us The employee gave the reason that our table had not yet been prepared, even though we were not even asked under what name we had reserved the table. We had the impression that this employee was serving guests randomly! Otherwise the restaurant is only good for young people who eat a lot, the food is actually good too but you always get a full feeling after the visit! The food is served very quickly!

Unfortunately, our visit to Mikado wasn't entirely convincing. Despite reservations, we had to wait a long time to be assigned our seats. The assigned table was close to the entrance and exit, which meant it was constantly drafty and very cold - which was unpleasant. The drink service was pleasingly quick, but the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. The fried items in particular were cold, which is disappointing for an all-you-can-eat experience. The service was attentive, but the staff seemed extremely stressed, which affected the entire atmosphere. Everything seemed very hectic, which made the meal less relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, a rather mixed experience that we would have liked to be more relaxed and of better quality.

The service could be better. It took forever until we could pay. And waiters discuss things in the hallway in front of the guests. The hot dishes were mostly lukewarm to cold. The sushi was great! Hopefully the other points will be improved and we'll be happy to come back.

The waiter was very unpolite. When I asked a bag to pack the food, She looked unpleasant and gave me a bag without saying anything and even without looking at me. She was not busy at that time.

Very nice waitresses. The food tastes great, there is a large selection. Since the restaurant is very large, it is correspondingly noisy. Can always be annoying.

It was okay. You have a lot of choice. But not much vegetarian/vegan. But you also noticed that the food wasn't fresh. The following day we felt very bad. But we don't know what exactly it was. For this reason we have to think about whether we really want to eat there again. The staff could be a little nicer :)

Waited at a dirty table for 20 minutes and wasn't served, even though the service staff made eye contact with us several times. It wasn't until I got up and spoke to the waiter that we were served.

We were regular customers in the store for a long time, but the price-performance ratio has no longer been right for about a year. You pay €35 for the food alone, which unfortunately doesn't do justice to the quality and service. It has to be said that we are big sushi lovers and have already tested many restaurants. At Mikado you get mediocre sushi that focuses more on quantity than quality. It tastes good, but you can get better (and be full) elsewhere for the same price. What bothers me more than the quality, however, is the service: poorly trained staff and, especially in the evenings, very long waiting times for service and the delivery of the food. The kitchen can no longer keep up with the number of orders. You can get 5 items per person every 15 minutes. order, but the majority of the order only arrives after 20 minutes or is even completely forgotten. If the food is prepared incorrectly and is cold, this is a shame for the price mentioned above - large selection or not. Even though the atmosphere in Mikado is very chic, we decided not to visit this store anymore.

The lunch price is 23 euros. Although you can't try all the dishes, there are still a lot of options to choose from. Every dish tastes great, the ingredients are fresh and well worth the price. It is definitely a cost-effective choice and highly recommended to everyone😆!

The food was very tasty and the waiters were very nice and we enjoyed the food wonderfully and there was a great selection of different food. I will definitely come back to enjoy the delicious food. There is also lunch service there, which I think is wonderful so that you can also eat lunch. There is also delicious dessert, which I thought was the best. The restaurant is also very nicely designed.

The restaurant was really beautiful from inside it was big the food was delicious 🤤the Service was good too Best Chinese/Japanese Food in colonge

Food was really very good and the selection was huge, I couldn't even try everything. The food is also halal which was particularly important to me. I also really liked the atmosphere and the service, the food came very quickly and the waiters were all very friendly and always smiling.

I can't agree with the negative reviews after my 4th visit to Mikado Cologne. It's too bad that only dissatisfaction can be expressed. We had a very pleasant lunch starting with delicious edamame and ending with countless delicious desserts. ;D Hardworking service and excellent sushi. 5 out of 5

The restaurant has a large selection of different dishes It's quite difficult to decide with such a delicious selection. The service is great, fast, friendly and reliable Thanks to the iPad function, the restaurant is also digitally up to date. I don't understand all the negative reviews :/ Top, top, top

The restaurant was an absolute highlight! The food was excellent – ​​fresh, tasty and perfectly prepared. The service was extremely friendly, attentive and professional without being intrusive. The ambience impressed us with a cozy and stylish atmosphere that invites you to linger. A place we will definitely return to! I love it there! 🫶🏾

I was at Mikado Sushi & Grill for the first time yesterday and I absolutely loved it. The restaurant impressed me from the start: the atmosphere is modern, but still cozy, and you immediately feel welcome. The all-you-can-eat concept is really ingenious. You can conveniently order using a tablet and the dishes come to the table super quickly. The selection is huge – from sushi classics to warm dishes, some also grilled. Everything was fresh, perfectly prepared and really tasty. I particularly liked the salmon variations and the fried rolls. What I also thought was great: Even though it was busy, the service was great. The staff were friendly, attentive and always made sure that we were completely satisfied. I was a little worried about the price at first, but it was worth every penny. The quality of the food and the entire experience simply make it a perfect evening. I will definitely come back and can only recommend it to everyone!

Top food and service very very satisfied will definitely eat there again 😀

Great service and food! The ambience is hard to beat As a long-time regular customer, I absolutely cannot understand the bad reviews! Unfortunately, only those who are angry write a review and not those who were satisfied.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mikado All You Can Eat Restaurant and I have nothing but positive things to say! From the moment I entered the restaurant I was amazed by the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The selection of dishes is simply impressive! From fresh sushi to a variety of Asian specialties, there is something for every taste. I would particularly like to emphasize the quality of the ingredients, everything was fresh and tasted excellent. The “All You Can Eat” concept allows you to try different dishes and I enjoyed discovering new tastes. The portions are generous and the staff was always attentive and helpful, which made the visit even more pleasant. Another plus is the attractive ambience, which is suitable for a relaxed dinner with friends as well as for special occasions. I can only warmly recommend the restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit! A real highlight for all lovers of Asian cuisine!

We have been here several times in the past and have always been satisfied. Today we were here again and were very disappointed. The service took a long time to serve dishes. When the food finally arrived it was always cold and not at all tasty. We won't come again

Waren mehrere Male hier das letzte mal im Herbst es war lecker und schön doch in dieser Zeit hat sich das Restaurant richtig verschlechtert das Personal unfreundlich und nicht ansprechbar die Portionen haben sich verkleinert und manche Sushi haben einfach nach Spülmittel gescheckt

Unfortunately it has deteriorated a lot and the service is very unfriendly

I've been here several times and was quite satisfied, the portions were good, the service was also quite ok, but unfortunately it has changed a lot in the last 3 months, which is a shame. I'll be visiting in December 2024. The portions have become smaller and most of the sushi had no taste The service was very unfriendly, never came to take away the plates, very disorganized.

Since August 2024, there has been a significant deterioration in several areas. The quality of the food has deteriorated both in terms of taste and appearance. The portion sizes, especially for the rolls, have also become noticeably smaller. The service is practically non-existent due to suppliers who often arrive with significant delays. This may be acceptable for a price of 20 euros, but overall the experience remains rather disappointing. If you want to take nice insta photos, it's ok

Such rubbish is far too full, poorly planned, terrible service despite a reservation. Half of the food is forgotten. Unfortunately, it's good for loading such rubbish. You wait a minimum of 40 minutes to pay

Everything was really great. The service was just sometimes unfriendly. Sometimes the plates are thrown in front of you. You feel bad about eating something.

Worst food I've ever had at an all you can eat. Not worth the high price.

The sushi was ok, I've had much better. The selection is huge. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and really big. The service was very unfriendly and always "threw" the sushi on the table and was very grumpy. Personally, I wouldn't eat there again.

Literally the worst all you can eat I've ever been! The beef was overcooked and you couldn't even chew it. The fish was not fresh, you can notice from the taste that it was quite old. The rice was too sticky and old. And you pay a lot in comparison of the quality of the food. We departed after only an hour, I wouldn't be surprised if we got food poisoning.

The food we ordered comes to the table relatively quickly, but somehow everything is swimming in grease. In this case I much prefer the competition Okinii and I enjoyed it much better there

The Mikado restaurant in Cologne offers a good selection of dishes that really taste impressive. Unfortunately, on our last visit we had the impression that some dishes were only served lukewarm, which diminished the enjoyment a little. The service was mixed: There are obviously temporary staff who don't have much experience in the catering industry, which sometimes has a negative impact. A little more training and attention could certainly help to improve the overall impression. A disturbing factor are the two gripping machines in the entrance area, which are more reminiscent of a fair than a restaurant. In addition to the questionable aesthetics, they also contribute to a sometimes unpleasant background noise when guests are loudly busy there. Conclusion: Mikado has culinary potential, but there are some points that make the visit less pleasant. Better service and a more appropriate ambience could significantly improve the overall experience.

The food is always very tasty, but the salad is often not washed enough... and what's really bad is the music that's playing... it really doesn't work at all

Unfortunately the food has become terribly bad. All warm dishes arrived at the table at most lukewarm, rather cold. We returned a few things and didn't get a replacement for anything. If the store continues like this, it will soon be at okkini level. The price-performance ratio simply doesn't fit at all anymore. It's a shame, it used to be really good when it wasn't so crowded.

Waited a long time until we were brought to the table despite a reservation! We sat relatively close to the entrance, it was super cold in the restaurant itself and it was really freezing there. Everything has become more expensive, you know that, but the prices there are definitely not worth the food that you can get better at any small sushi shop. Paying just under €5 for 1 mini piece of salmon the size of a sushi roll is cheeky. Unfortunately disappointed, despite the nice staff who can't help it anyway.

Overall, the food is quite tasty, but for us the price-performance ratio is no longer right. Addendum from December 10th Because of the positive reviews, we wanted to test the store again. Conclusion: our three stars were also reduced by 1 star. We ordered sushi with cream cheese and cucumber and with mango and duck. You can see these in the picture. The cream cheese was forgotten in the first sushi and the mango in the second. When the waitress pointed this out, there was a loud discussion with us, so that some other guests even turned to us. We then tried again with a second waitress. She then called the original waitress and there was a loud discussion again. At a price of around €35 ​​per head, offering such a service is a disgrace. We felt extremely uncomfortable and left the store shortly afterwards because we had lost our appetite thanks to the discussion. Impossible. We're definitely not coming back

Was a great experience... A great atmosphere and friendly service. Good sushi 🍣 and much more. Great food... The price-performance ratio is really good 👍 and fresh goods I would be happy to come back

Appalling service. Waited forever for food to arrive. We asked for a Heineken, they did not know what it was - 30 minutes later we were told that they do not have it and that we had to go to the fridge to choose our own beer.

Nice concept, delicious food and friendly staff

Very good sushi for all you can eat. However, for everything that is not sushi, the portion sizes are very variable

Food is ok, nothing more. Some dishes were lukewarm, the wonton soup was overcooked. Lamb chop didn't come at all. Well, I wouldn't go there again now. Everything had a touch of quick and not very high quality. But you could eat everything, there was nothing that was disgusting. It was just ok.

Very tasty sushi, pleasant service.

I didn't fully understand the hype surrounding this restaurant. It was very loud. Udon noodles cold, dumplings cold, spring rolls cold. The sushi portions were always kept very small. The service has largely put a lot of effort into it. However, despite having a reservation, you had to wait a good ten minutes because the assignor was alone and could hardly handle the rush.

Ate here twice. First time was quiet and good. Second time was a busy Saturday and terrible service.

The food is delicious and that's okay for the price. Service was catastrophic for us. One ruder than the other. It really ruined our mood. Except for the one Japanese waitress. It was really great.

This place has to be one of the worse restaurants i have ever been too. Poor 🥴 food 🍽 quality especially for the price 💶. Terrible 😡 service avoid avoid avoid!! Gave me food poisoning 🤢🤮. Gave me re-heated food three times. And then tired to charge me for the food. Disgusting I have already emailed environmental health. Place needs closing. Japanese lady was so rude 😤.

Despite having an existing reservation, we had to wait half an hour today before it was our turn. The food was OK, but nothing special. It was far too salty for my taste, so I had to drink a liter of water afterwards. However, the main reason for my one star rating is the service. I have certainly visited over 70 restaurants in my life, but I have never experienced such unfriendly and unprofessional service. There was neither a friendly greeting nor a farewell, and the food was almost thrown on our table. Several times we received orders that we hadn't even ordered, which indicates that the waiters are not concentrating on their work. In addition, something fell to the ground every 15 minutes, which further reinforced the impression of a lack of professionalism. The highlight, however, was the bill situation. After asking nicely, we had to wait over 20 minutes. When we asked again, the staff reacted extremely unfriendly and asked us in an unprofessional tone to keep waiting. When we finally wanted to leave the restaurant, we couldn't use the main exit because a waiter was cleaning up spilled food. We tried to go past the counter, but were also rudely told to use the main course - even though this was simply not possible at that moment. I am speechless at how unfriendly and disorganized this restaurant is. I will avoid this place in the future and can only advise against anyone having similar experiences. The price/performance ratio is in no way reasonable and I regret giving this restaurant any business. It was by far the worst restaurant visit of my life.

The atmosphere is like a train station hall. Cold, big and loud. The quality of the food is just mediocre and not worth the price. We had the all you can eat. The service was quick and friendly. Conclusion: I won't be coming back

The food was chewy and very salty. The chicken was still raw. Staff was very rude, we respectfully indicated that we did not like the food. Staff walked away and did not help us further. We waited for 20 minutes and then spoke to someone else. We wanted to find a nice solution, but they did not agree to this. In the end we had to pay the full amount, even though we only ate 1 round. So not recommended.

I was with two friends in the restaurant Mikado Sushi and Grill at Mediamarkt. The food was good, but we saw a mouse running around the restaurant during the evening. We wanted to handle the situation discreetly and brought it to the attention of the restaurant manager so that possible action could be taken. He told us that the mouse problem in the restaurant was already known and that there were an increasing number of mice in the outside area of ​​the Mediamarkt. It is understandable and not untypical that there are mice and other rodents in a city, but it seems to me untypical to have rodents in a restaurant. The manager simply didn't respond to us and couldn't understand our concern that it was unhygienic. It cannot be ruled out that mice can get into the restaurant area through open doors, but we were still hoping for more understanding and accommodation from the restaurant.

We have been here many times and we really like it! The food is always delicious and fresh. The employees are all nice and always help. We have already recommended this restaurant to several acquaintances and friends, everyone was very satisfied and everyone enjoyed it. We always had the all you can eat offer. We always park at the cinema in the car park, it's a few minutes walk away. I can 1000% recommend this restaurant to everyone!!! Thank you!
