This sushi restaurant is usually one of the best, but today was a horrible experience. There was a long line outside just to get in, so we decided to place a to-go order instead. The waiter told us it would take 10–15 minutes, but we ended up waiting for about an hour.
When we finally got the food, everything was cold — even the soup and baked mussels, which should have been hot. It was really disappointing, especially since their food is normally excellent.
If you plan to eat here, make sure to check in advance and book a table. The quality is great when dining in, but today’s takeout experience was far from what we expected

I’m in town visiting from South Carolina so decided to try this place as an avid lover of sushi. It was fresh and delicious. Quick service, beautiful presentation. Great atmosphere with fast and friendly service. I got a TNT Roll which had tempura shrimp and spicy tuna with crunch flakes and eel sauce on top, a Trio Roll with tuna inside and out plus avocado on top and a #4 Roll with spicy tuna and salmon plus cilantro drizzle on top.

This place was one of my favorites but Unfortunately there sushi is not good anymore. I ordered the raw salmon pieces and it taste so bad thar i was like I can't eat this. Every other sushi we order tasted weird. So my sister and I decided not to order anything else and just get the check since we had order all you can eat. . The price was pretty high but I was disappointed how bad the sushi tasted and not only that but it took a while for them to bring it . Literally I left 2 pieces that I didnt finish and manager told me are still working on it and I said no sorry I can't eat it it taste pretty bad so he looked at me and said its all you can eat no left overs next time tell me earlier. I was like I am telling you why I didnt eat it because it was bad . Like I dont understand what was the big deal. . I paid I was not gokng to eat bad sushi and get sick . So disappointed. I dont know what happen to this place but its not the midori that had great sushi.

I’ve been going to Midori Sushi for their All-You-Can-Eat special for over 10 years when my fam introduced me to their restaurants back when I was in high school. Their restaurant back then made me fall in love with sushi, mainly nigiri and not just the rolls us growing up in LA are used to. Went there today for my 28th birthday and their quality and service stood the test of time and is some of the best sushi I ever had in The Valley 818 area. They had 3 restaurants all on Ventura Blvd (Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and Encino area) I went to this Studio City location where parking is a bit tight but I highly recommend going there right before they open at 12pm for lunch. They close 230pm and reopen at 5pm for dinner.
Prices are $40-$50 for the weekend and I believe somewhere between $35-$40 on weekdays, so if you want to save a bit of money definitely go on the weekdays. However, even though I went on a Saturday right at 12pm when they open, it was worth it and my friend and I were one of the first ones there.
Historically, when I was in high school and college I was able to make the most bang for my buck and get my moneys worth 2-3x over from the AYCE because of my pacing techniques. I do say I’ve slowed down in metabolism lol over the years of just getting older. There are 3 rounds that you can order (in a 2 hour time limit window) and what I did see newly added as of September 2025 is that theres a limit of 10 orders per round…which is fair considering the amount of sushi one can eat. It was my friends’ first time and the 3 rounds of AYCE sushi was just right. Great selection of appetizers are included, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BAKED MUSSELS. And there’s also a new thing I ordered later on in the 3rd round which is their “Premium” Sushi selection and it was delicious and nice to try the bluefin tuna (1 pc) and halibut (2 pc) right before I ended with the heaviest but tastiest and favorite roll of mine which is the Baked Salmon Roll (8 pc).
BIG TIP for pacing, only drink water (and try not to drink too much water to get full) instead of soda/other drinks. Limit the amount of rice you eat. And lastly only order the heaviest rolls with the most sauce and most rice at the 3rd and final round. The friendly server recommended that next time I order the “Premium” sushi to try on the first round so I am not so full haha but no worries we finished our food regardless.
The first 2 rounds were nothing but nigiri, PLENTY of Salmon and plenty of Baked Mussels and Tempura appetizers. The best nigiri imo is the Salmon, and cant go wrong. However, the tastiest is probably the Cajun Albacore soooo good seasoning and spicy jalapeño kick, and the Seared Tuna very thicc piece of fish.
Highly recommend this place for All-You-Can-Eat sushi lovers that want the most bang for their buck. The pieces of fish quality was flavorful, buttery, fresh and the rice was nice warm and vinegary. Stood the test of time and will be going back on special occasions great place to eat and celebrate especially if you are on an empty stomach, dont go if you cant handle the AYCE because wasted rice is I believe a penalty haha
Also I told them it was my birthday and they gave 2 free strawberry mochi ice cream with whipped cream and a candle, thank you so much!!

Waiters took forever to take our paper. Had a couple pieces left at the end they were threatening to charge us if we didn’t finish.

We've been customers since it opened...since the Studio City spot was around. A favorite for our birthdays, but the last few times the rolls are just fat with rice. This last visit we ordered a la carte, and still thick with rice...not properly wrapped or tightened and the rolls fell apart. I think the quality has diminished quite a bit.
