Mikado Sushi, 28th St Grand Rapids
This is probably the best sushi you can get in Grand Rapids, possibly in all of West Michigan. BUT — don’t go here if you’re hungry. Go stuff your face at an OCB instead. You can (read: I did) easily drop $20 for lunch because the first thing you order ends up just not being enough.

The photo above is my first lunch, $7.95. Avacodo rolls at the top, and on the bottom (from left) egg, salmon, tuna, yellow tail (I think?) and snapper. This lasted about five minutes and I was still hungry. I asked for the sushi menu and ordered a scallop roll and squid sushi. One Andrew Jackson later I left, still feeling a mite peckish.
The quality, however, was outstanding. Tops for me were the scallop rolls, which offered a texture and taste so divine I thought I was eating dessert. Except with raw shellfish.
The only real drawback was not having a nice glass of freezing cold sake or an Asahi tallboy to go with the meal. The job doesn’t necessarily like one coming back from lunch with al-kee-haul on one’s breath.
