"Great mix of skewers, sushi and hot entrees; something to please anyone. They offer a basket of many different sake glasses and allow you to choose your own; a very small thing that was very unique and enjoyable for our group."

"I liked the food - we chose the sushi and salads and some starters - all very good -
but the service was erratic - we sat for 10 minutes after being seated
and then had to wave someone down to get water - we had to wave
someone down again before we could order the food - and then I had
wave people down three more times to get more water, more tea and finally the check -"

"Good food but slow service because it seems understaffed. I highly recommend the robota grill food."

"I continue to go back to Mitama because the sushi is really good. If it were based on service, I would never go back. The service is very hit-or-miss, meaning, they can be very slow regardless of how busy the restaurant is. Our servers were attentive on this last visit. However, it took over 30 minutes to receive our sushi order. I think that this is an unacceptable wait time, and the server should have compensated by either providing us with complimentary edamame or some other nominal way. The restaurant was almost full when we arrived, and by the time we left, there were only 2-3 tables of diners. My friend was very frustrated with this wait time."

"My friend and I went to have lunch. The waitress was a real sweetie. We didn't know about parking and she advised us to park in one of the nearby streets. The food was yummy. We both had fish. The obento was very filling and so good. We'll definitely go there again."

"I've been here a few times, but this was the busiest they had been at any time I'd been there. As a result, our waiter was a little taxed and our food was a little slow. No big deal, since we were with friends that we hadn't seen in a while. The waiter was very good, in good spirits, and gave awesome suggestions on how to make our sushi experience more authentic (I had no idea that nigiri is traditionally eaten with fingers!). All-in-all, great place; because it's small, when there's a crowd it feels a little packed, so I think I prefer to go on a "school night" than on the weekend."
