Mikado means “emperor” (帝) in Japanese, and we honour that by offering healthy, convenient food you can feel good about.
For over 20 years, Mikado has proudly served our local community with handmade sushi and Japanese favourites made to order. Whether you’re picking up lunch on the go or sitting down to share a meal, we invite you to our family restaurant. Enjoy dining in or taking your meal to go!
At Mikado, we make all our sauces from scratch right here on the premises. Our sushi is hand-rolled daily using traditional methods, and we cook our hot meals to order to guarantee freshness and quality.
Our menu endures because locals keep coming back to their favourites.
At Mikado, our rice really matters. Our recipe is a closely guarded family secret refined over time, passed down, and prepared with care every single day. We honour the craft with no shortcuts, just patience, precision and pride in every grain.
1. Freshly Made, Every Day
Our rice is washed until crystal clear, soaked to the second for even texture, and steamed fresh every morning. It’s then seasoned in a traditional wooden hangiri with our signature, trade-secret vinegar blend and hand-fanned for a glossy, fragrant finish. This is the art of sushi rice – done properly.
2. Authentic Short Grain, Carefully Sourced
We use only genuine Japanese-style short grain rice, chosen for its perfect starch balance. It clings just right without ever going gluey so your rolls hold together, yet melt effortlessly in your mouth.
3. A Taste That’s True to Tradition
Unlike long grain or sticky glutinous rice, our short grain delivers the soft, slightly sweet cohesion that’s essential to good sushi. It balances the saltiness of soy, the sharpness of wasabi and the delicacy of fresh seafood with perfection.
Next time you grab sushi from somewhere else ask yourself, does it taste like Mikado?
