Food was pretty good. Service on the other hand was ridiculous. 4 in our party. We all asked for water before deciding on drinks. We received 3 and had to ask for a fourth after a few minutes. We then ordered edamame, which came out half warm and half ice cold. It took 10 minutes to get a fresh order. We then ordered wine to share amongst 3 of us. We received two glasses. Next, we received our meals which three of four arrived. At this point I finally got up to find the waitress which i could not. A manager arrived who had someone immediately bring out a dish that must have been sitting. The manager never came back to say anything. This is all on a Monday night at 9 pm. They were not busy. What a joke.

Nice selection and preparation; especially at a ski resort. Friendly bar. Great place for both family and locals.
Great spot in the village!
I honestly enjoyed my experience at Mikuni. I was very surprised by the quality of both the service and the food. Although it was a little bit pricey, I didn't really expect it to be inexpensive considering the location: read touristy location. What surprised me was how good the food was considering that it was kind of a tourist trap. The first was very fresh, they had a huge selection of rolls with tons of variety, and the appetizers were also worth the money. I also tried the sake sampler which allowed me to try 5 different sake types which was really cool for me. I recommend coming here with an open mind and an open wallet. If you are super price sensitive, then this place is not really for you, but I recommend it if you are looking for something good to eat while visiting the area.
Sad to hear this place closed. They accommodated a large group of us without reservations on a busy night. The food was delicious and affordable considering the area.
Mikuni has some of the best sushi you can find. Northstar's location may have a more limited menu, but maintains the quality. Taro and his team run a great restaurant. Always a great roll, sashimi, and best scallops
I have been eating here since they opened. Unfortunately, the sushi quality has gone downhill to a "poor" rating imo. I have no idea how the ratings are so high, but attribute it to the location and spirit of a ski resort. But if you compare the food quality to other good or great Japanese restaurants, Mikuni needs a quality and menu reset imo. Yes, the atmosphere and decor are fantastic. The menu (on paper) is great. But, the food quality is embarrassing for a Japanese restaurant (considering the high standard they typically have). Sushi requires a VERY HIGH BAR on fish quality and freshness. Rice must be fresh, moist and tasty. I believe that the restaurant is suffering a great location and thus has become complacent since most of their clientele are one-timers. I continue to go back and give them a chance and each time I am disappointed by the same sushi specials (mediocre to poor), dry/old rice, and a completely uninspired plate. Furthermore, while the staff are energetic and fun, the bar scene feels like an employee club more than a customer-centric restaurant.
Okay for Japanese food restaurant. Had the sushi platter. There's not much sake options. Service was nice.
