Update*** while we were absolutely understanding of them being unable to accommodate allowing someone bringing food inside, we were told that the manager does not allow anyone (Staff) to move tables or to push tables together for the guests. So the statement that was made in the comment replying to this is inaccurate. Maybe there is a staffing issue and someone needs to speak to the manager but we were told by not only a staff member but also the manager that they do not move tables. And the employee told us that their manager was very strict on not moving any tables. So that comment was false in the reply.
I have been to Mikko many times and have had some pretty okay experiences but this time was the worst. My family came in to enjoy lunch to celebrate nephews promotion(this is his favorite restaurant). When we entered we were shown a table (place was pretty empty and we were going to be a group of 8) we asked if we could sit outside (due to someone in our party having a shellfish allergy) so they could still sit with us. We asked if it was okay if they sat outside with us with other food (crazy I know) so they could still enjoy a meal with us. We were told no, not a big deal there was a table on the other side of the fence they would sit at. But we were told we couldn't eat outside because the manager wouldn't allow them to push two tables together??? I've never seen a restaurant not accommodate a large party like that when it was that empt. We decided to eat elsewhere as the staff had been unwelcoming and we were left with no choice. I can understand not allowing other food in but to turn away a large party that would have brought in a large bill because they wouldn't want to push TWO tables that were right next to each other together is an interesting choice. I could understand not being able to it if it was busy, but saying no when the restaurant was dead is not great. We have decided to not dine here again.

Great authentic Japanese owned fresh sushi!
Updated: Unfortunately after our latest visit 6/4/25 their service even after their opening 5 years ago is the worst we have even seen! Other customers seem to feel the same. We were regulars and were always hoping that it will get better. It's a job to get someone to come to your table so you can place orders! The sushi is still great and the owner is nice, but needs to make this important change! Our latest visit celebrating a special occasion was ruined and we left frustrated and disappointed. We will not return.

Best sushi spot I’ve been to in Escondido! Great fresh food! I wish I lived in California to visit this place more often!

Omg!!! This place was beyond amazing. Not only do they have an extensive gluten-free menu available, But they're also incredibly friendly, and professional. The chef even caught one of the items that was listed on the gluten-free menu, had been recently changed, and was no longer safe. I absolutely appreciate the due diligence for my concern.
I had the yakisoba with gluten free noodles, which typically, for gluten-free does not come with a sauce. But their black miso glaze that they use on their salmon, was an absolutely perfect substitute. The flavor was incredible, as was everything else.
I don't live in the area, but I guarantee that when I do come around here. I will be back. You can lay money on that
Vegetarian options: Just like in gluten-free, they have a ton of vegetarian options as well.
Dietary restrictions: We have a very extensive gluten-free menu, with many many options. And the food is so good, it's absolutely worth every bite
Parking: There's free parking located behind the building. You have to walk around to the front of the building to get in, but it's really nice Not having to pay to park.
Kid-friendliness: They have a great kid friendly menu
Wheelchair accessibility: The location is very easy to access via wheelchair. No issues going from the parking lot, to the front door.

I asked for green tea and instead of getting it on a normal porcelain cup i got it in a steel cup which burned my hand. The sushi was mushy not very tasty and soup was not hot was luke warm. Restaurant was cozy and clean. I will give it a second try and try other food in their menu due to I liked the restaurant ambiance

If I hadn’t eaten everything I might’ve been able to post a picture! So fresh, so delicious, and reasonably priced. I can’t believe we have a great sushi place in ESCO!!! This is my new go to and I hope more people visit there especially during the street construction. I don’t want this place closing because the parking is challenging. Go there- stat!
This has to be one of the best sushi restaurants in San Diego county. Friendly people, great sushi, generous portion sizes, and my kids love their homemade lemonade. Two thumbs up!
The food is always so well prepared. The service is great, lots of helpful people and great atmosphere! Thank you! Highly recommend

Sure, here's a review for a sushi spot:
I recently had the pleasure of dining at [Sushi Spot Name], and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was inviting and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared, with each piece practically melting in your mouth. Highlights included the tuna sashimi and the dragon roll, both of which were bursting with flavor. The presentation was also top-notch, making the meal as visually appealing as it was delicious. I highly recommend [Sushi Spot Name] for anyone looking for a top-tier sushi experience.

One of our favorite sushi places to eat at! The pipeline roll is my absolute favorite and the tempura ice cream is to die for! This place is very clean and the service is phenomenal!
Don't recommend the sushi.
