The MIKADO Japanese restaurant, located on the the third level of Imperial Plaza, is undoubtedly the Gold Coast's finest.

Only premium ingredients are used to create sushi, including top-grade tuna, salmon, octopus, mackerel, scallop, prawn and freshwater eel. It's sashimi is also to-die-for, with coral trout, tuna, salmon, abalone and lobster sashimi certain to satisfy the most discerning connoisseurs of Japanese cuisine.

Why not enjoy the art of the Japanese Barbecue, where seafood, prime beef and chicken is cooked to your liking right in front of your eyes ....

Open for lunch and dinner six days a week (closed Tuesday), Mikado offers a casually sophisticated atmosphere yet is pleasantly inexpensive.

There is also an outdoor dining terrace with views through to the ocean - perfect for those balmy summer nights - as well as two private dining rooms.
