“ I have a shellfish allergy so instead of the grill, I had sushi. It was beautifully presented, super fresh, and high quality. Best sushi I've had in Dothan so far. Will definitely be back ”
“ One of the best places around. It was so interesting and exciting watching the whole process. We were a group of 7 and absolutely loved everything about this place. The friendliness, the fresh food, the service and the experience was top notch. My husband hates lobster and that's what I got but for some reason he was stealing it off my plate thinking it was chicken and even tho he said it had a different taste and texture then chicken, he loved it. It was a good laugh. Will definitely be going back. LOVE IT !!! ”
“ Love this place, we purposely stay the night at the Hilton next door so we can do dinner here. Sushi Chef is the best & so nice & talented. Wish they had tables that weren't for the hibachi, but we'll take the bar. ”

“ We had a great time at the Mikata Japanese Steakhouse in Dothan, Alabama! The food was wonderful and there was plenty of it. You will not leave here hungry. This was our second visit in the last four months and we were very happy with the food and service both visits. Wait time was very reasonable too. I selected the double salmon hibachi this time and was very pleased. Our chef did an excellent job preparing our meals and entertained us as well. He was very attentive to our requests and interacted well with each guest at our table. Our hostess was very friendly, took our orders quickly and made sure we had everything we needed. An excellent experience! ”
“ We went to Mikate Japanese Steakhouse last night and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and on point from start to finish. The food was amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. It was my son’s first time at a hibachi-style restaurant, and even at 17, he was thrilled with the whole experience. The chef put on a great show, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. It was a night we’ll definitely remember, and we’ll be coming back for sure. Highly recommend! ”
“ #1 in Hibachi. Fun place to dine and very entertaining. Su is the best server so be sure and ask for her. Tonight Jefferson was our hibachi chef and he was masterful. Thank you Su & Jefferson for making our dining experience so much fun. ”
“ Truly Impressive Hibachi Experience – A Must-Visit in Dothan I stopped by Mikata Japanese Steakhouse expecting a good meal, but left genuinely impressed. The hibachi experience where the chef cooks right at your table was top-tier entertaining, engaging, and delicious. The timing was smooth, and the chef added flair and humor without missing a beat. My steak and fried rice were perfectly cooked, the veggies were fresh and crisp, and the portions were generous. The flavor? Spot on. You can tell they use quality ingredients and know what they’re doing. What really surprised me was the variety; this isn’t just a place for hibachi. They’ve got sushi, a full bar, and even options for kids and families. The atmosphere was clean, upbeat, and welcoming, and the staff made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Definitely a five-star experience and a spot I’ll recommend to anyone visiting Dothan. If you’re looking for dinner and a show, Mikata delivers on all fronts. ”
