MIKA SUSHI

"The new owners have done a great job upleveling this place, making it a beautiful gem. Amazing food, gorgeous patio garden with a ton of flowers and plants. We love it here! Even the bathroom is immaculate and beautiful. Also very kid-friendly with a spacious patio and lots of space between the tables."

"Exceptional. Tasty fresh fish on the sushi. First time having the Hamachi Kama (fish collar), definitely recommend it. We were seated right away, very warm welcome. The server was prompt and knowledgeable. All in all the hospitality and quality of food was amazing. We will be back."

"My favorite sushi restaurant in Monterey County! Had dinner with my family at Mika and everything we ordered was delicious. This restaurant has the best tempura I’ve ever had because it was lightly battered and fried to perfection. I had the chirashi as the main course and the fish was so fresh. The owners are very friendly and obviously care about the quality of service and food. I can’t wait to go back!"

"Eating sushi in Carmel, it’s what you’d expect. I would not recommend this restaurant. I think the restaurant really tries to make a mark with its sushi but it misses on all points. If you never had sushi before, you might enjoy the meal. We got the $145 sushi platter - the cuts of fish did not taste fresh, and the assortment was lackluster. The presentation made me lose my appetite, and was not worth what we paid. 1/5 stars. The rolls were marginally better, but Mika tends to try too hard to make them special, like adding a misplaced WHOLE carrot or nuts in the sushi. The tempura was overbreaded, the ginger slices were the size of apple slices. Save your money and go elsewhere."
