Mikata Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar

4th of July at 6pm, so not a fair sample of crowd size. Place was deserted with way too many staff standing around. Brandon seated us--friendly, accommodating, knowlegeable. Our teppan chef was Benny, who was charming, funny, and fast. Since we were the only two customers in our half of the restaurant, my wife did her usual, and soon we knew that Benny was an 18 year resident of Macon with family in Virginia, New York, and San Francisco, although he's never visited his SF relatives. He has a baby at home. The food was good and we had to take a box home, so....plentiful. Overall it was a good experience, primarily because of Benny and Brandon, but we're not likely to go back.

We went here to celebrate my son's birthday. We were greeted immediately and seated promptly. Our server, Jack, was friendly and super attentive. Our cook was fun and engaging and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back and absolutely recommend going.

Bulgogi & Ghalbi Skillets were soooo good!!! The Gimlet was refreshing and I will definitely be making this a weekly visit!

The chicken was a little dry from being overcooked, but thankfully, the flavor was very good. The vegetables were very flavorful. I appreciate that the broccoli was actually cooked and not just slightly warmed raw broccoli. This restaurant has the best tasting salad dressing and yum yum sauce by far of any other local hibachi restaurant. With any hibachi restaurant I’ve ever been to, rice is standard and included with the meal. I’m not sure when the change was made, but they now charge $1.00 for steamed rice. Fried rice is $2.00 extra on the menu — however, on the final bill, we were charged $2.25. The steamed rice seems like an odd up-charge, especially considering rice is extremely inexpensive. Why not just raise the entire base price of the meal itself? The menu also states dessert was included, but we were not offered any dessert. We were a party of 5 and were charged 18% gratuity that was included on the bill. The wait service was fine, not bad. We would have probably tipped 18%, but I don’t love when it is included on the bill without notice. I’m glad we were paying attention and didn’t double tip. Overall, we would probably come back, but I hope the management can update

Located in a strip mall, with a rather odd oversized entrance that looks like it could accommodate group meetings. But once you get past that, it's actually quite extensive with a lot of hibachi rooms where they have some extraordinary cooking shows. Seriously, we didn't expect world class. hibachi chefs, but the gentleman we had was extraordinary. The food was very good. The wait staff was very attentive and very quick and the manager was polite, welcoming, and helpful. We had a group, they were all well cared for, and we would definitely go back.
