After taking my granddaughter to The Lion King, her first Broadway show, we headed downtown to New Mikado, a Japanese restaurant, as she had requested salmon sushi for dinner.

We started with appetizers of tasty pork, shrimp and snow crab dumplings topped with caviar ($20 for four), which I’d recommend. We also got lucky with some items’ pricing as it was still happy hour. Our edamame cost $1, the cucumber salad with sesame sauce only $3 and the white wine only $5.  Oddly, our edamame, although good, were unsalted and chilled. Also tasty and not at happy hour pricing is their West 14 ($12), a blend of milk tea and rice wine.

After that, we enjoyed their Hand Roll ($27), which included two salmon rolls, eel avocado rolls and tuna avocado rolls. We also tried their deep-fried chicken karaage ($22) with spicy mayo deep-fried chicken soft-boiled egg, pickled and spicy mayo.
