I have lived near this restaurant for 9 years and never visited until recently. I got a to-go order. The host was very friendly, and the restaurant itself appeared to be very clean, and the food appeared to be appetizing. Arrived home excited to dig in. All I can say is, yuck gag. The food was seriously atrocious tasting. No matter the dish, it all tasted the same with the same bland flavor. For the life of me, I do not understand why the place gets so much business. It was rare for me to write a negative review, but the food at Mikata does not deserve anything above a 1 star.
