Mikado
Mikado is in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, in close proximity to many museums. In operation since 1997, the restaurant was the first to offer Japanese cuisine in the area. Focusing on both traditional Japanese dishes and French-Japanese fusion, menu options are quite varied. The atmosphere is casual, yet sophisticated and offers a nice ambiance in which to dine. Select from the sushi or dinner menu. The restaurant offers a variety of nigiri, maki and sashimi. Dinner menu selections include the standard chicken teriyaki and the not-so-standard Unaju, which is broiled freshwater eel.
