Mikado Iii

If you’re looking for a dining experience that perfectly balances the theatrical flare of a Japanese steakhouse with the quiet precision of top-tier sushi, Mikado III in Marlton is a South Jersey staple that delivers on both fronts. Located on Route 70 East, Mikado III serves as the more expansive sibling to the long-standing Cherry Hill location, offering a spacious, high-energy environment that’s perfect for everything from family birthday celebrations to a focused sushi lunch.

The history of the Mikado brand in South Jersey stretches back to 1999, when the first location opened in Cherry Hill. While the original was designed as a cozy, traditional sushi house, the owners expanded into Marlton and Maple Shade to lean into the Hibachi experience that locals craved. For over two decades, Mikado has maintained a reputation for sourcing incredibly fresh fish, with regulars often comparing the quality to top-tier sushi houses in New York City.

Features & Highlights

The heartbeat of Mikado III is the Hibachi Grill. It’s the ultimate dinner-and-a-show experience, where skilled chefs prepare sizzling steaks, jumbo shrimp, and scallops right at your table with impressive knife work and the classic “onion volcano.” It’s high-energy, loud, and consistently delicious, making it a premier choice for group outings.

For the sushi enthusiast, the separate sushi bar offers a more serene experience. The menu features an inventive list of special rolls, such as the Galaxy Roll (tempura lobster and apple topped with mango) and the Maple Roll. One of their most talked-about “must-try” items is the Tuna Pizza, which has earned a cult following for its perfect blend of textures. Beyond sushi, the kitchen offers a robust selection of Japanese classics including Beef Negimaki, Crispy Chicken Karaage, and a deeply flavorful Seafood Bisque that blends six kinds of vegetables with shrimp and scallops.

Unlike some traditional Japanese spots that are strictly BYOB, the Marlton location provides a more complete “night out” feel with its ability to serve a selection of Imported Beers, Sake, and Plum Wines to complement your meal. Finishing your dinner with their famous Fried Ice Cream and a warm towel service provides that classic, comforting touch that has kept Marlton residents coming back for twenty years.
