About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
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!

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

                    While we enjoyed the chef and his entertainment, we food the food to be disappointing. Our ahi tuna was extremely overcooked and tasteless. Even tough our reservation was for 6:30 pm, we had to wait for about 15 minutes to be seated.

                    We love this place and have been many times. Great food and the hibachi chefs are so funny and entertaining. We love the cocktails that ooze smoke from dry ice and always try to arrive early to watch the bartender mix up our drinks.

                    I scheduled dinner here as we were in town for a business conference. I was looking for a fun place to take a group of 10 to dinner. Mikado was perfect! The food was great, our server Maria attentive to our needs and chef Manny talented, entertaining and fun. It was not an inexpensive meal but the quality of the food was impressive. I would definitely go again!

                    This is always one of my favorite places to come when in the Palm Springs area. The portions are huge-- you will not leave hungry . I recommend one of the combos-- filet mignon and shrimp, or lobster, but just filet mignon is great too because they give you a few shrimp as an appetizer anyway. I would stay away from the chicken. My husband ordered the filet mignon and chicken combo and said the chicken was tasteless even with the teriyaki sauce it was cooked in. I noticed other people who ordered chicken at our table left a lot on their plate.

                    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.
