Mikado Express - Lynchburg

This place is like a junk drawer: you're in a small space wondering how that got there and why. There's a counter space with a couple of chairs, a tiny yard sale in the corner and snacks for sale on a table with a cushioned/taped up corner, I'm assuming because it was sharp and people kept running into it. Also, like similar restaurants in the area, lots of homemade signs affixed to the walls and counters with Scotch tape. Plus a homemade open side out front. These

I decided to go with 4 stars alone for the presentation. the taste of eating is a 3.5 best, but they not only have my delivery order right, everything looked amazing (minus the gyōza, because the green is just strange). both the gyōza and shrimp were really hard, but the inner of the shumai was good. I was not concerned with the taste of the gyōza or egg rolls (which were incredibly small), but the rest of the food was decent. if everything had a little more taste, it would have been absolutely perfect. but while everything looks amazing, it just tastes good. I really liked the cream cheese. they were my favorites.

Good food, great price! I've come here for years and never been disappointed. The food is good quality at a great price! Their yum yum sauce is amazing!

Just moved into the 'hood and looking for takeout the night before Turkey Day. Read some of the reviews--typically all over the map. Solid Japanese/Chinese takeout. The Bento Box (shrimp) was outstanding. My wife ordered the crispy crab claws. Not sure why, but I thought I 'd be doing the cracking thing ala lobster like where we 're from in New England. Instead, crab meat was removed from the claw, breaded, and deep fried. Excellent! The Yummy Sauce is indeed, yummy! The Jumbo Shrimp Hibachi was solid, with the friend rice definitely imbued with hibachi flavoring. Portions are large, so you 'll have leftovers, for sure. Will definitely do take out at Mikada Express again.

Great food. Knowledgeable and patient staff. No real seating but AMAZING food with a very short wait
