We 've been visiting this area for 9 years, and we always say we can't wait to get back to Mikko's! We always have great service, good food, and even when we take guests that are not suhi lovers, they rave about the teriyaki salmon and chicken. The sushi chefs are always friendly, and we think the value is great.... More

Decent little sushi bar, but this former-Sambo's (or whatever other coffee shop it was) lacks enough atmosphere and food quality to rate these prices. If you're driving down I-5, are pressed for time, are jonsing for off-ramp handy sushi, and aren't too demanding, go ahead on. Otherwise, you can do better than this. More

Tonight we took a new couple to Mikkos in Carlsbad. We had been going there for years and loved their salmon terriaki and always ordered the combination with tampura. Well, tonight the tampura was not cooked enough and was very soggy. I was so disappointed, as I suggested your restaurant and mentioned that we had been coming there for years... More

I've been to Mikkos a few times and every time the food has been very good. Recently they have been doing a 50% off deal for ordering more than 5 items off of a list, so the price is pretty good for the quality of food. The service isn't the best. The waitresses aren't very pro active about pre-bussing and... More

Sushi had a consistently rotten, spoiled taste. Many of the rolls were covered with a gooey mix of cheese, grease, and unidentifiable clearly non-Japanese spice. Our rude waitress repeatedly ignored our requests for more chopsticks when she carelessly knocked ours to the floor. Restaurant cleanliness was worse than a typical Chinatown "dive." The owner was very pleasant. While I do... More

Yes, this place is child-friendly and reasonably priced. But the food is terrible. Sub-standard sushi that wouldn't pass muster even in South Dakota. Maybe I've been spoiled by stellar sushi in LA, but even the California rolls at Mikko were bad--misshapen with brown avocado. Avoid!!! More

My partner and I had discovered Mikko serveral months ago and now eat there whenever we can. The food there is excellent. A mix between traditional sushi and not so traditional. The atmosphere in the restraunt is very social and is also an excellent place to eat with friends. Dining at the sushi bar there is always a fun experience... More

Outstanding Sushi Value We have been to Mikko's probably 25 times and it's great. But then, we go for the sushi - 50% off non-fancy sushi, and sit at the sushi bar. Mikko's is one of the best sushi values in North San Diego County. When we take my mother-in-law, who's strictly a turf lover, we sit at a table... More
