"My family and I are visiting in Waco, TX. Our family consists of 2 older daughters, a 2 year old daughter and 1 year old son. This is the first vacation we’ve had as a complete family. We planned to travel to Austin to celebrate our 2 older daughter’s July birthday’s so shopping and dinner was a must. We are from a small town in Oklahoma and have never been to Austin. Upon looking up reviews, we came across Mikado Ryotei. The location is very easy to get to and once we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly smile from Jenny. We had our hands full so she helped with grabbing high chairs for both little ones and we got into a conversation. I told her we brought our girls here to celebrate their birthdays, one had already passed and the other is the 28th. Jenny came out and surprised each of our children with strawberry flavored Ramune to celebrate! My mouth dropped, it was the sweetest gesture-you never see this nowadays! We ordered beef bulgogi, different types of sushi, K-pop chicken, vegetable tempura and edamame. Everything was so fresh and mouth watering! My favorite sushi roll was the Shangri La, filling and so creamy. Jenny brought toddler silverware so our babies could eat with what fit their little hands and mouths better. Once my little family finished eating, I look up and Jenny is coming out with spoons, dessert and candles lit! We sang to them, I was trying to record it and Jenny took my phone so I could be a part of it! I was so excited! Then we all got to dig into the yummy sweets. After all of our bellies were full, we got to talk with Jenny and she told us of different places to go see in Dallas, since we told her we are planning to visit there too.Before we left, we got to talk to another sweet lady and a very kind gentleman. Their smiles will get your heart so warm. This is a small family owned business and we are all about supporting them. I wish I had gotten names but the babies started to get tired and fussy, it became rush time to head back to Waco to get them a bath and bed.It was the most amazing experience, the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was beautiful and yet, comfortable. We don’t get to go out much so the fact that this restaurant is VERY family friendly meant so much to us. I cannot recommend Mikado Ryotei enough. Thank you all for making our girls birthdays one to remember forever more. It’s the little things that mean the most to us. We will definitely be making the trip to visit again. Vegetarian options: We had edamame and fried vegetable tempura. We are not vegetarians but love vegetables.Kid-friendliness: Above and beyond!Parking: Very convenient location for all ages"
