Mito Japanese Steakhouse - LAKE PLACID

After attempting to secure a table at other restaurants in the small town for 2 hours, we were relieved to discover this place open and serving food without a wait or large crowd. The empty dining room was a bit concerning, but we appreciated the lack of people inside due to COVID. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious and well-presented. While the service was not outstanding, it met our expectations.

I'm not sure why this restaurant has such a low rating... the food was excellent. We started with shrimp and pork dumplings for appetizers, both of which were delicious. Our main dishes included miso soup, chicken fried rice, Singapore noodles, and Szechuan chicken, all of which were very tasty and flavorful. The service was prompt and we had a wonderful overall experience. The hot sauce was particularly delicious!

Lucy is exceptional when it comes to understanding service and meeting the needs of guests. The food is delicious, with very prompt service and incredible flavors. The prices are reasonable and I would definitely return.

I dined at this restaurant with 7 adults and 3 children. Upon arrival, there was one couple already dining. The staff consisted of 1 waitress and 1 sushi chef, and it was unclear if there was anyone else in the kitchen. We arrived at 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon and our sushi orders arrived in stages. I started my meal at 2:50. After reading other reviews, I must agree that there is a wait time, so if you are in a rush, this may not be the best choice for you. The sushi I had was excellent and everyone in our party enjoyed their meals as well. Some people ordered fried rice, which they also liked. The waitress appeared to be sweating a bit and moved a fan towards herself after I had initially moved it away, as we had gotten wet from a passing storm. The restaurant is small and charming, but it should be noted that only one women's toilet was working during our visit. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the wait time for our food, despite being the only customers in the restaurant. However, they are actively looking to hire more staff.
