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."

    Delicious food and great service is what you come to expect from Mercado’s. Definitely a five star restaurant.

    better then Beni H but not as good as the high end Teppanyaki in Vegas. Service was pretty good. A very fun night for the 6 of us.

    I’ve dined in many Teppanyaki restaurants over the years, in different states and countries. Sadly, Mikado at Desert Springs JW Marriott wins the most appalling award. The website does a fabulous job of making it appear stunning and enticing, but don’t be fooled; you’re being loured… I kept thinking of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. The vegetables consisted of mostly onions, the bean sprouts barley graced the cooktop and tasted like they came out of the plastic bag they were delivered in. The lobster was far from being “fresh frozen”; it tasted freezer burnt and water logged. The steaks did NOT taste like USDA meat (I kept wondering where in the world it was sourced). I do recall eating emu meat once and that’s what it reminded me of... I’m sorry Mikado, but no amount of butter, salt nor MSG will ever enhance your inferior ingredients. There had to be at least 25 to 30 lights above each table - excessive lumens equal zero atmosphere. The service was so-so. It was extremely difficult trying to order a beverage. No fault of the server but rather management for not providing enough staff to customer ratio. I learned from the J.W. Marriott that Mikado is run by a “third party” which makes perfect sense why it’s third rate…. Bottom Line – pretty website, pretty bad restaurant. Go elsewhere, unless you like a chef throwing food into your mouth like you’re a trained seal… Oh, yeah, that too, I kid you not!

    My fish was overcooked and dry. The service was great. The table chef was entertaining but hard to hear through the mask at times. I’m overall we enjoyed our experience. My husband loved the filet minion and said the chicken was okay. We’ve been there many times before but this is the first time the food was not as good as prior times. Also, they used to play Japanese music outside but that no longer happens. Sad.
