About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
The ancient tradition of the Samurai lives on at Mikado where knife-twirling chefs use fire and steam to create a mouth watering menu of steak, chicken and seafood delights. The highlight of the experience is the dazzling talents of your chef as he expertly chops, juggles, jokes and prepares an incredible meal right before your eyes. While you are led to your table through our private Japanese garden, notice the Koi swimming below and the sound of cascading waterfalls.

Mikado at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is known throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California as the leader in authentic Teppan-Yaki Dining.

But it doesn’t stop there! East meets West at the ultimate sushi bar where you can relax and enjoy the freshest foods and a signature martini or sake. Celebrate an intimate gathering or a private function up to 140 guests at Mikado where the food is the show! Arigato!

"Please note that Mikado Restaurant reservations are not inclusive of a boat tour."

    For the pricetag and hype, I/we had higher hopes. We were celebrating a special occasion; noted on our reservation. We were seated in a “mixed” crowd of crazies, kids, and families, and there was no “special” about it. Chef was “meh”, service was “meh”, and overall vibe was “meh”… then we paid a bunch of money… got a wrong check, and left with a 2 pack of cheap “made in china” stickered chopsticks. I guess we had higher expectations due to the hype of this place and the expense… our mistake. It felt very “McDonaldsy”. Was expecting a more private, grown-up, “anniversary”-special dinner.

    The food and the chef were excellent! The bar service was pitiful and I told the server it was poor, yet they charge an 18% automatic tip so obviously they don't care! We will go the the restaurant again but never the bar at the entrance!

    Amazing service. Our sweet shrimp was almost gone and the oil they used for the shrimp heads was quite old

    Food and service was great. The grills were dirty - unlike any I have seen before in a Japanese steakhouse
